At WPC this year, Microsoft announced its new Windows 10 Compatible logo program, which provides logos that ISVs and app developers can use in their marketing activities to showcase the quality of their applications. All you need to do is rewrite your app to run on 20% of Windows machines. And PROFIT!

It seems I need to take an even more pessimistic take on life.
From now on, when I wake up, I'm not going to think to myself "well, at least I'm one day closer to death  ", but I'm going to think "F****** F*** ANOTHER G***** DAY IS THIS FORSAKEN STINKHOLE WE CALL LIFE!  "
Ah, I can feel my spirits lifting already

When the World Wide Web first took off in the mid 1990s, the dream wasn’t just big, it was distributed: Everyone would have their own home page, everyone would post their thoughts – they weren’t called “blogs” until 1999 – and everyone would own their own data, for there was no one around offering to own it for us. One day, everyone will post their own cat videos!

Deep Space Industries — a spaceflight company intent on mining asteroids for resources — announced its plans this week to conduct the first private mission to an asteroid before the end of the decade. Thar's gold in them thar asteroids?

For those few with enough money to buy a private island — or at least a private data center — Seagate Technology has taken the wraps off of an unbelievable 60TB solid state drive Just in case you were wondering what to buy me for my birthday
"Seagate is promising the lowest cost-per-gigabyte on the market today." So, either an arm _or_ a leg, I'm guessing.
I wonder if you can double the capacity by using a hole punch, like in the old days?
|
|
|
|

Either way, the drive qualifies as literally the world’s largest SSD, almost quadrupling the size of the 16TB SSD that Samsung announced last year and began shipping this past March for a cool $10,000.
So, we can expect 60TB to be about $40,000?
I sure hope they have a lifetime of more than 5 years!

Hasn't some "scientist" come up with the black hole drive, where you retrieve your data through the quantum effect of the black hole evaporating?

Did you ever read this fascinating article about the guy who killed the SSDs and documented exactly when they died and how much data was written to them? Ends up they last far longer than expected.
Really great data science in that article:

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?

Oracle's ambitious plans focus on density, scaling, and stronger language capabilities. Could you make it a little more C#-like?
Or at least a little less "Java-like"?
Also, if you could use VS to develop with? Thanks.

Isn't JetBrains' IDEA meant for those Java developers who prefer Visual Studio over Eclipse? By the way, with ReSharper included.
|
|
|
|

It is, but in my experience the pain from using Eclipse on a day to day basis is less than the pain from having to figure out how to translate every bit of howto/getting started/etc documentation from Eclipse to IDEA if you don't understand how the clusterelephant works because you actively avoid using it.

At Visual Studio Live! on Tuesday, Microsoft's Amanda Silver offered up a state of the Microsoft development stack, noting the gains made by open sourcing its tools. It's all about the developers (developers, developers)
Echo, echo, echo, open!, open, Git!, git, git, etc. etc. etc.

It would be nice if IIS was open sourced...
|
|

|

No! It would not!
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Quantum computer calculates ground state of hydrogen with just two qubits. As opposed to my ground state, which can be predicted by counting empty glasses
Looks like the scientists may - or may not - have been doodling
|
|
|
|
|
so no mathematical function associated with that ground state can end up giving a lower energy, only a higher one.
They needed qubits for that? How about f(x) = x * 0 ?
ok, granted, it can't calculate anything higher. Details, shmeetales!
