Yahoo will be renamed “Altaba” and company CEO Marissa Mayer will step down from its board of directors once its major sale to Verizon closes, according to an 8-K filing released by Yahoo earlier today. Altaba. Really. You're going with that?
First we had the alt-right, now we get alt-ABBA?

What about alt-avista? Oh, wait...

Alt Tab Away - yup sounds about right, if a good decade behind the times. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

For once, Yahoo outdoes Google by coming up with the most ridiculous name. (Altaba vs. Alphabet)

Because there’s still real estate left to throw some more ads in, Microsoft plans to introduce even more promotions in the forthcoming Creators Update. That should encourage a few people to upgrade

When will they roll out the new name: Microelephant?

This is according to research published this month in Computer by a trio of researchers at Peking University that describes a sensing method based not on the conventional received signal strength (RSS) model—which provides information about an environment based on how that environment attenuates a signal—but on an alternative known as channel-state information (CSI), which provides a much richer picture of electromagnetic waves as they bounce around an indoor space. I hope it tells me soon - I'm holding my breath in anticipation

Doug Schaefer, Eclipse contributor and member of various Eclipse councils and committees, is tirelessly working on Eclipse Two, the real next-generation Eclipse IDE based on Electron. You lost me at "good"
|
|
|
|

Agreed; I can think of lots of words to describe eclipse and "good" isn't one of them. I can't actually publish my list of words here, since I'd get banned.

A few years ago, thanks to Valve and Steam, Linux looked like it was going to become a major game platform. That didn't happen. But, the threat may have forced Microsoft to improve its Windows game support. Because everyone knows those Linux games are great
|

|
|
The games are great because the drivers are awesome! (Where's the sarcasm emoji?)

A recent study of Dev and Ops professionals in large enterprises found that those with the least mature DevOps implementations were seeing the most success. So, "No Pants Day" for the win?
|
|
|
|
|
"YouGov asked more than 400 Dev and Ops professionals in enterprises with 500 or more employees about their adoption of and success with DevOps."
Oh, that will be accurate.

Our coding crystal ball clues you into the twists and turns your programming career may take in the years ahead. Bonus #12: Forth will become the most popular language for web developers
OK, I might be wrong about that one. Maybe it will be APL.

Too bad there was nothing in there about, well, programming.

It's like the old quote from Jurassic Park:
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
And so we have APL running in the browser, and JavaScript running on NASA servers supporting space suit operations and logistics.

I'm sticking with D♭ as long as Microsoft supports it.

Jeeze, what an idiotic writer.
It took me quite a while to pick my "favourite" of the stupid statements:Quote: the only folks who still seem to cling to PCs are office workers and students who need to turn in an assignment.
Oh, OK, so only about three billion people, then.
They should get someone who has at least a clue about the topic to rewrite the article.

And developers. And gamers. And researchers. Only half of the population still clings to PCs, and that's only because the other half doesn't have access to clean water and a steady supply of food, let alone electrical power and computers.
