Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said today that the company’s hotly anticipated mixed reality glasses HoloLens are on a “five-year journey.” To some definition of "coming" and "next year"

A study looking for signs of intelligent alien life in a handful of galaxies has come up short. It means that super-advanced civilizations in our local universe are extremely rare, or absent altogether. Unless you count the ones actively ignoring us

Even looking for intelligent life on Earth is a bit of a lost cause these days 
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

It’s thought that a species far beyond our capabilities could utilize entire stars for energy, perhaps surrounding them in structures known as Dyson spheres, producing noticeable mid-infrared radiation.
What an absurd ass-umption.

Seen as graffiti many moons ago:
Q: Is there any intelligent life on Earth?
A: (in different hand) Yes, but I'm just visiting.

This is our first release shipping with the Rustonomicon, a new book covering “The Dark Arts of Advanced and Unsafe Rust Programming”. Now even rustier than before (and look! 'We’re continuing to invest in Windows, with preliminary support for targeting Windows XP.')

That must be because this version was originally in alpha stage in 2003, and that page was written then in anticipation! It used to be "cutting edge" to make your stuff work in XP!

I really don't get this. Servo is years from being ready to replace Gecko in Firefox; but that point XP's share of the web will be nearly non-existent.
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?

The lack of documentation of Windows' updates is a baffling move on Microsoft's part. Have you seen the tools they'd have to use to put those on the Microsoft web site?

You might think the conversation about ad blocking is about the user experience of news, but what we're really talking about is money and power in Silicon Valley. And titanic battles between large companies with lots of money and power tend to have a lot of collateral damage. Before you read this blurb, here's a commercial: "Yay, CP!"

Hmm. Sounds like a "sky is falling" mantra. I've heard this before. Mainframes are dead! Long live the Mainframe!

I suspect we'll start seeing ad-block detection proliferating on sites, so only by disabling the ad-blocker can you actually view the content.

I've seen sites try to break themselves if I block their ads. I also blocked the crap they used to try breaking the site for me.

They'd be better off trying to find a revenue model that isn't based on the assumption that elephanting my experience for the benefit of 3rd parties actually gives those 3rd parties a benefit instead of adding them to my avoid or boycott lists.
