If they had anything truly important to report, they wouldn't wait, they'd just say it.

I dunno - there have been so many "announcement by press conference" lately (Arsenic life, FTL neutrinos in Italy, a few others I'm blanking on) that I'm leery. I'd rather they wait until they get the numbers done.

No, they only do that when they have nothing to report.
|
|
|
|
|
With they do you mean this laboratory or scientists at general?
Also is it just me or have it become more and more common to hype scientific discoveries?
|
|
|
|
|
No, just "they" in general.
When you have nothing to say, say it slowly.

I welcome that. I always considered recipe language to be akin to Javascript.

According to Foote Partners, IT job growth in January 2016 was the worst in nearly a year and a half, but extra pay inched up at the end of 2015 Kind of a "good news, bad news" day

The Reliable File System (ReFS) v2 in Windows Server 2016 TP4 still isn't faster than NTFS -- not surprising at this stage of its development, though its block-cloning feature is highly optimized for virtualized workloads. That's a pretty big promise to make in one file system

If you lose a virtual file, have you really lost anything?

The R stands for Resilient, not Reliable... and this from a so-called MVP.

I was wondering if I'd missed a name change.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Developers looking to migrate their project from one platform to another will often run into the roadblock of having to determine which APIs their code uses versus what is provided by the target platform they desire. Microsoft has provided the .NET Portability Analyzer (NPA) an effort to make this migration process easier. Write once, debug everywhere

We have all used the Visual Studio Debugger to step through code, in the hunt for bugs. For C or C++ code, that Debugger relies upon a file, with the extension “.pdb”, called the “Program DataBase”, or simply “the PDB”. The PDB is written by the Linker when you build your program; it contains line-number and symbols information. Pixie Dust and Bacon
