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?

Web browser notifications are increasingly being used to push unwanted ads for dating sites, scam sites, unwanted browser extensions, and even malware to users who subscribe to them. Does anyone ever want to select 'Allow' on that dialog?

People with visual impairments use social media like everyone else, often with the help of screen reader software. But that technology falls short when it encounters memes, which don't include alternate text, or alt text, to describe what's depicted in the image. So they will finally know what they can haz

So now a meme is an image ?

Despite the apparent shrinkage of clouds in Jupiter's Great Red Spot, the storm itself is still going strong, new research suggests. "I don't care what they're going to say, let the storm rage on"

Spencer: VR is “isolating,” but games are “a communal, kind of together experience.” He couldn't say, "Virtually no one is asking for VR"?

If it is then you aren't doing it right. You need to take an approach more like "Ready Player One" or as in several of William Gibson's books.

More than ever, our technology is evolving at a furious pace - and the coding world is definitely feeling the pressure. It can be overwhelming to choose where to pay attention and what to dismiss as a passing fad. So you can order the troops around on the battlefield?
Or is that a captainist?

The reports say tests of the VR headsets are being carried out at a farm near Moscow, with the (Google-translated) release noting that the goggles have been specially adapted for a cow’s head shape and vision. Moo?
There are already enough puns in the article itself. I need not think of any more.

But none of the puns picked up on the fact that the experiment was in Moos-Cow (Moscow)

This allows any Outlook user to install the web app into Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, and other platforms that natively support PWAs. It’s a useful alternative to the cluttered Outlook Windows desktop app or the Windows Mail client that ships as part of Windows 10. Now, rather than having a bloated desktop client, you can have a bloated web client!

As Win Devs we are all contemplating the best way to build desktop apps and I think now even Microsoft understands that :
1. UWP is probably a waste of time (even MS isn't choosing it as a dev platform)
2. WinForms are dead - controls are as old as Win95 in many cases
3. Web technologies (yes, JavaScript) are not going away soon)
4. Targeting Windows-only for an app is unstable -- people are going to want to run your app on multiple other devices and OSes.
That's why I've really been investing in learning Electron. Electron allows you to do amazing things that "just work" on Windows, Linux and even MacOS.
I can't imagine writing an app that specifically targets Windows desktop. It is interesting that Microsoft seems to be thinking the same thing.

Microsoft promises developers its dual-screen Surface devices won't mean chucking out code. Step 0: Count how many screens are on the device you're developing for...

The first step should be to determine why you would want to make apps for those in the first place.

Agreed. I can almost see the case for a "Day planner" (calendar and todo) app, but beyond that, I'm blanking.

According to a study earlier this year from SlashData, there are 19 million. However, 13 million are professionals… meaning there are a lot of “casual coders” out there. The rest of us are waiting to be called up to the majors

|

The casual coders probably do intern work at Microsoft.

OK... let's see

13 million professionals

Codeproject has over 14 million users... I would say, that's an elephanting success
