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.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

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
19 million coders
13 million professionals

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

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?

Global IPv4 address exhaustion has been anticipated for a long time, and today the day finally arrived – all 4.3 billion IPv4 addresses have been allocated, meaning there are no more IPv4 addresses can be allocated to ISPs and other large network infrastructure providers. Fortunately IPv6 will save us all (just as soon as everyone switches over... in 5-10 years)?
As it has been almost ready to save us since... the 90s?

Was trying to think of snark. Instead wondered how many static IPs are unused, but renewed every year because nobody bothered canceling them.

Probably enough to keep us going for a while, yes. Horders gotta horde, though.

A neural network found that 'Henry VIII' was a joint effort. "As there ever heard a better, that my master, being scribe, to himself should write the letter?"

It's much ado about nothing.

Shakespeare (almost) wrote: Artificial Intelligence is but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
-- 6079 Smith W.

Before the play was written, it flashed in someone's head as a plot; that was most probably Shakespeare in this case. Can AI tell that this "plot creation" was also a joint effort?

Experts don't always agree with one another when making predictions or diagnoses. So how can we find out which expert in a group makes the best and most accurate decisions? Besides you, of course

Great quote within the article:
"It has been shown time and again that experts who are good in their field are good in a similar way, whereas poor performers are bad in very different ways. ...," says Ralf Kurvers
Very applicable to the coding family!
|
|
|
|

Wow. Those experts who agree with the decisions of their expert group are the best experts.
True when the group was right (likely the average case), but terribly wrong when the group was wrong.
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Each version of Windows 10 adds new features and functionality; occasionally we also remove features and functionality, often because we've added a better option. "Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky"

I wish they'd drop support for automatic updates.
