When .NET was originally designed, it was decided that methods would be non-virtual by default. I'm virtually blanking on a good item for here

This is your phone on mining software. Any questions? On the bright side, you'll always have a cooktop handy?

I turn on the mining app for my Samsung Galaxy note 7 when I go to sporting events, its so much easier to lug around than a grill...the one time use thing gets a little expensive but the convenience is worth it.

With the new Windows 10 Preview Build 17063 released today to Windows Insiders, Microsoft is bringing curl and bsdtar, two popular command-line tools to the Windows toolchain. *This* will get everyone to upgrade!
And Unix sockets!

How far ahead of Apple Maps is Google Maps? Turn right at the orange blob, and stop before you hit the big red arrow in the ground
In parts an endless stream of "look at this image", "now these three", but a look into the detail and data Google has been adding into maps. And an excellent example of what happens when you cross the (big data) streams.

I'll be more impressed when they update the maps (imagery) in my area, which are about 10 years old.

When Apple's Tim Cook was asked about Google maps lead and how they plan to close the gap on the Moat Google has he said "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it...".

Analyzing facial micro-expressions yields almost 90 percent accuracy in detecting lies. Is a lawyer talking?

How do they know something was a lie?
Ah, "This was based on evaluations of 104 mock courtroom videos featuring actors instructed to be either deceptive or truthful."
So the headline should read; AI figures out actors. Kind of.
Doesn't matter since the real problem are the last 5-10%, which tends to be occupied with psychopaths, who pass everything, including the Spanish Inquisition--they are the people we want in jail.

Maybe the AI is smarter, they can detect psychopaths

These people just haven't done their research.
As anyone in the UK will tell you, there has been a perfectly working, 100% reliable (subject to disclaimers) lie detector in use on The Jeremy Kyle Show for several years now.
Not only does it work on actors, it also works on the "real" people who feature on Jeremy's highly educational show.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Microsoft's long-standing Connect testing site is being phased out and replaced by a new 'Collaborate' testing portal. 429 Too Many Requests
Looks like someone decided on 'rewrite'

They should have named it 404.
I've reported a couple of bugs over the years, including code to reproduce them, but nothing was ever done with them.

But if you’re thinking about taking advantage of the deals that can be had buying from second-hand and auction sites like eBay, first consider the potential risks. But it's a genuine Nokio!

This happened to me.
At first I thought it odd that I didn't get a deer or elk harvest this season.
I then discovered that the meat-grinder I bought on mBay (a.k.a."meatBay") kept sending out my gps locale to the deer and elk. The seller's name makes sense, now: HarvestNone

Quote: The easiest way to do that is to buy from reputable sources, like Amazon, big-box retailers like Best Buy or Target, or local electronics stores in your country
What about the Amazon marketplace where you can get "products" from quite obscure sources or with returned goods (which might be sold as "new" or oftered as such with reduced price)?

Light can generate an electrical current in semiconductor materials. This is how solar cells generate electricity from sunlight and how smart phone cameras can take photographs. To collect the generated electrical current, called photocurrent, an electric voltage is needed to force the current to flow in only one direction. "Jojo dig those spinning lights"

The Developer Economics Q4 2017 survey is here in its 14th edition to shed light on the future of the software industry. Every year more than 40,000 developers around the world participate in this survey, so this is a chance to be part of something big, voice your thoughts, and make your own contribution to the developer community. Because I can't do enough surveys

Satan! It took me too long to even find the stupid light blue "Next" arrow. It was hiding behind by recently downloaded "footer/popup/annoying thing."
And what country am I "based" in? What the hell does "based" mean? All your bases are us? Cyclon base ship?
And of course, I type in "America". Nothing pops up. Isn't America a country? And "United States" isn't right, it's "United States of America". Who wrote this ridiculous survey?
And why is the question at the top of the window, and the "Next" arrow at the bottom right of my monitor, requiring a huge mouse movement???
And they can't fit the questions vertically to avoid scrolling?
And of course "What is the size of the organization that I work for" doesn't offer multiple choice, as I work for myself as a contractor as well as for "the man" as an employee.
So, if I say I work for an organization of 25 people, I can still pick "More than 1,000 people" in the organization as people involved in software development? 
I can only pick one role? WTF? OK, it says "main role", but I actually have several "main" roles, sort of like AC current in the mains, it goes up, it goes down, it has a zero crossover, it oscillates at 60 Hz (except for you Europeans) it has different currents, different voltages, so what "main role" does the mains have?
I love the option "I don't write optimized code. Actually, the misspelling is amusing. "Optimised", heh.
"Hardware Blockchain Oracles"? WTF is that? Some sort of prediction technology that you go to a temple for and pay in Bitcoin?
"Our software/applications only store data locally" That precludes any other option, like local and remote. 
The UDP joke was actually cute.
"Which desktop platforms do you develop for?" First option "Web browser"
21% done, and I'm done.

As the .NET ecosystem moves at record speed these days, it’s easy to overlook some amazing things happening in this space. There are constantly new tools and features being released that can easily increase productivity. Let’s take a look at a few features Microsoft recently shipped that help with testing, front-end development, and cross-platform migrations. As opposed to features of .NET Core, .Net Framework, or .NET Menthol (or .NET Dry)

- npm Task Runner ... When using the Angular and React templates, ... (See #3)
- Windows Compatibility Pack for .NET Core
- API Analyzer ... when you’re targeting .NET Core and .NET Standard
So out of the "five" features, five of them are about .NET Core, and only the sixth really applies to .NET Standard.
