Schlock Mercenary - Wednesday 16 Aug 2017[^]
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

Hmmm... promotes a product by fear-mongering (the NSA can't spy on you with this! Buy now!) and instead of discussing the merits of this YT competitor he attempts to sell it with get-rich-quick ideology... also his channel is almost entirely conspiracy theorist rhetoric. Seems shaky at best in my opinion.

Nothing is cuter than pictures of kids sitting at their computers, mastering skills their parents never dreamed of. And nothing is more popular than the current idea that all our children should learn to code. Readin', Ritin', 'n' 'Rithmatic. Nuttin but! And where is my wax tablet and stylus?

Don't knock it. These kids are going to grow up to be the next smart contract Wall Street blockchain coders!

It is one of the few things we teach children that allows for imagination and critical thinking/problem solving.
I suspect those traits will be very valuable.

“Coding is going to disappear,” computer entrepreneur Emmanuel Straschnov told IBTimes UK. “The vision is that people shouldn’t even have to know what a server is. The vision is that people should only know: I want my app to do this, this and that, and then you build it.” The vision is that people should only know: I want my app to do this, this and that, and then you build it.” Ah yes, the old "coding will be replaced" argument. I've seen this argument, in one form or another, for the last 30 years.

Today almost all information stored on hard disc drives or cloud servers is recorded in magnetic media, because it is non-volatile and cheap. For portable devices such as mobile phones and tablets, other forms of non-magnetic memory are used because the technology based on magnetism is impractical and is not energy efficient. Oh, of course, it was the chirality of the vortex domain wall all along! How silly of me not to realize it.

I wonder if there's a market in high speed printers as an emergency backup measure. As in:
"Holy Sunshine, Batman! We have 6 hours to back up the Internet on paper before that X9 CME hits the earth and wipes out all electronics!"
Of course, there wouldn't be anything left to scan the paper back into digital form, at least for a few years.

The company faces an inherent contradiction it has yet to resolve: It says Windows 10 is the last Windows ever, but has also set time limits on support. Same as the rest of us

As the Moon blocks the Sun’s light completely next week in a total solar eclipse, more than 50 high-altitude balloons in over 20 locations across the US will soar up to 100,000 feet in the sky. On board will be Raspberry Pi cameras, weather sensors, and modems to stream live eclipse footage. They’ll also have metal tags coated with very hardy bacteria, because NASA wants to know whether they will survive on Mars. They want to make everyone sick! Wake up Sheeple!

The latest C++ Core Guidelines Checker is deployed as a part of the Native Code Analysis tools in Visual Studio 2017 15.3. These tools are designed for use in Visual Studio, which provides a rule set editor for filtering warnings. But what if you want to adopt the C++ Core Guidelines checks in your automated builds? Getting it without Visual Studio is left as an exercise for the reader

LinkedIn must remove any technical limitations it has put in place to prevent the "scraping" of members' data. I'm glad the bots find that site useful

This is a good result tbh, you can't put information on the public internet the complain when it gets read. Just because it was read by a computer program is irrelevant.

Let’s take a break from analyzing the top programming languages and focus on the most searched (and possibly popular) IDEs instead. There are others?

vi, erm, emacs, just shut up.
I'd rather be phishing!

Is that because the alternatives are so good people don't need to search for help?

Noted Windows' tail-wagger and gossip-monger claims he's seen a memo: [^] Quote: Since then, however, another trusted source at Microsoft has provided with a different take on this story. Microsoft, I’m told, fabricated the story about Intel being at fault. The real problem was Surface-specific custom drivers and settings that the Microsoft hardware team cooked up.
The Skylake fiasco came to a head internally when Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella met with Lenovo last year and asked the firm, then the world’s biggest maker of PCs, how it was dealing with the Skylake reliability issues. Lenovo was confused. No one was having any issues, he was told. I assume this led to some interesting conversations between the members of the Microsoft senior leadership team.
I continue to look ... askance.
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

Not surprised, falls right in line with the rest of MS half assed frameworks and products.

You could apply that comment to pretty much anyone. I'd be happy to sit down and go on for days about Apple. And Google. And pretty much any man-bun smashed-avocado powered $300 connected device whose software I've had to deal with lately.
