You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun

Do you know smart machines, robotics and risk analysis? Gartner says you should. "Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see, soon as I find myself a crystal ball"

Quote: How much change? Well Gartner says by 2018, digital business requires 50% less business process workers and 500% more key digital business jobs, compared to traditional models
I hope they mean 50% fewer workers, or are we proposing lopping limbs off them?

Don't bring it up with management: you might not like the answer. It would reduce the traffic in the coffee room.

Are you saying that 50 is not less than 100?
That "rule of English" has never been a rule of English -- the only thing in its favour is that it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever (otherwise I'd really hate it).

Cooperative Apps can instantly share data with other applications in the cloud, without placing an integration burden on the business or user who purchased the app. They work seamlessly with the other apps fitting within their solution space. Cooperative Apps “play nice” with other applications. They share data and seamlessly communicate with other applications just the way you want them to. Cooperative Apps reduce the need for Integration Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS) offerings originally developed prior to the cloud era of API-based services and applications. If only there were universal manuals on cooperating and playing nicely....

Have you ever wanted to create a game -- but not deal with the coding aspects? Then Microsoft's Project Spark might be for you. It has finally come out of its six month beta, and is available in the Windows Store and Xbox One store, as well as retail stores. "The game's afoot!"
|
|
|
|
|
I played with this in Beta - its quite a lot of fun, and the "IDE" for programming behaviours is pretty cool too...sort of what LightSwitch should aim towards

According to former Netflix cloud chief and current Battery Ventures Technology fellow Adrian Cockroft, you need to help to make your developers be more productive. Which mostly means you need to get the heck out of their way. Coddling: to cook in water below the boiling point.

Billed as a JavaScript rival, Dart has had an uphill climb in its battle to attract developers. But this month's Tiobe Index of language popularity has Dart finally cracking its top 20 list, ranking 17th with a rating of 1.119 percent, slightly behind Ruby but ahead of Microsoft's F# language and Apple's new Swift language. And here I thought Forth was going to make a comeback

I think the word "crashes" was probably not so good of a choice for that article title.
I kept reading "Dart crashes 20 programming languages" and wondered what heck was Dart?

For applications distributed outside of the Windows Store, having an update mechanism is crucial. For roughly a decade ClickOnce was the standard approach used for .NET applications, but many still find it hard to customize and troubleshoot. It also seems ClickOnce is "done"
|
|
|
|
|
Yes , I agree to this. Click once is not simple and flexible enough to use for all kinds of app. There should be a standard way to enable auto-update for any .net app.

Open-source mailing lists and IRC conversations are as prone to flame wars as anywhere on the Internet, but now systemd co-creator Lennart Poettering is calling out Linus Torvalds in a more public forum for helping to create attacks on him. "Open Source is love"
|
|
|
|
|
And from my reading and understanding of the issues involved, Lennart deserves the public pummeling he's been getting. He's a pompous ass of the 9th degree.

GT Advanced Technologies, which has a supply relationship with Apple after an agreement struck late last year, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company will continue to operate as normal despite the filing, which is designed to protect its assets and operating budget from debt while it restructures and re-finances its obligations.
Would we care if they didn't have anything to do with Apple?
