Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have devised a way to automatically transform the content of one video into the style of another, making it possible to transfer the facial expressions of comedian John Oliver to those of a cartoon character, or to make a daffodil bloom in much the same way a hibiscus would. You mean John Oliver and Stephen Colbert aren't the same person?

I was wondering which of the two would bloom like a daffodil does...

The tool, which is now live for iOS, with web and Android versions planned for the near future, connects to GitHub to give you actionable insights about the state of your projects and manage your projects and issues. 'Code goes here' isn't visible enough?

The perennial optimists at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or SETI, have joined the rest of the world in deploying AI to help manage huge data sets — and their efforts almost instantly bore fruit. "Came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. It played us a mighty dub."

The Microsoft Security Response Center publishes two documents detailing internal procedures used by its staff to prioritize and classify security bugs. "Works as designed", "Won't Fix", and "Not replicated"?

But which half? Too much effort by developers is wasted on debugging, maintaining and fixing bad code. I'm more of a 'time wasted on empty code' kinda guy

We waste a lot of time on configuration and environment issues too. Certainly double digits of percentage!

Google’s lawyers are in Europe’s top court today arguing against applying the region’s so-called ‘right to be forgotten’ ruling globally domains, rather only geo-limiting delistings to European sub-domains (as it does now). "I will remember you, will you remember me?"

As the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) winds down its work standardizing the Extensible Markup Language (XML), it is looking back at the history that brought XML to its success today. Is that an apology?

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?

During the 2018 Microsoft Hack Week, members of the Mono team explored the idea of replacing the Mono’s code generation engine written in C with a code generation engine written in C#. It's all fun and games until the compiler hits the garbage collection in your garbage collector code

MS Paint IDE is a program that can read a normal image file saved with MS Paint, and can then translate it to text with the ability to highlight the text in the image, parse the code, compile and execute it. Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.
At least IMHO.

Employers are more willing to support remote work, suggests industry research. But the dream of telecommuting does not always match the reality. The commute is awful. Sometimes I get stuck behind the cat.

As the open source community continues to grow, it’s important that users keep in mind that the people writing software are doing what they can to keep it working and to support it, probably on their own time. Spoilers: the source is open

... of course the same is true of closed source devs. The list really should include 'retire'  , and 'enter management'  though.

Is there a difference between 'die' and 'enter management'? Or is 'enter management' just 'purgatory'?

Depends. Do you believe you will end up in a pleasurable afterlife?

Clean code — a term first coined by Robert C. Martin in his book ‘Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile craftmanship’ — is very relevant in today’s fast-paced, highly complex software development and lifecycle management environments. Because no one wants to clean out the filter in the compiler when it gets jammed up

If you are hungry enough you could eat the part of the spaghetti code, then you would not need to clean it up (so far you don't dirty everything else)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
