One of our previous posts, Why You Should Use F#, listed a few reasons why F# is worth trying out today. In this post, we’ll cover some of the basics you need to know to be successful. Just in case you want to get with the paradigm

LinkedIn mined its jobs-related data to investigate the current skills, demands and job desires of software engineers, confirming that cutting-edge technologies like machine learning and data science pay the most. Not in the report: people only tend to update LinkedIn when they're looking for work
OK, maybe it's just the people I know about.

The web needed a freewheeling programming language like JavaScript, but now it’s time to set some rules I'd make a data type joke here, but it seems that's what I always do for Typescript jokes. So... write your own here!

After all, if you know JavaScript, you’re well down the path toward knowing JavaScript.
Pretty sure he meant TypeScript at the end. I was gonna make a joke until I realized that statement is actually philosophically accurate

In a new paper published today by the journal Nature Nanotechnology, scientists at the University of Washington and Microsoft Research describe a method that uses spatial organization to build nanoscale computational circuits made of synthetic DNA. OK, I'm pretty sure we can play DOOM on this one
Or will. I've seen those movies.

Removing these underused features helps make Windows easier to maintain, reduces the number of potential security issues, and allows for the development of new features. Now how will I draw my bad drawings?

Maybe they should remove Windows.

You know where we're all going right?
UEFI Boot allows booting from anywhere Microsoft likes. If they can get it small enough and can pull it off semi transparently , one of these updates is going to hook you to the cloud to get at your windows. Already you can't login in many instances to windows without being on the net.
Then they can demand money for pieces or all of it. And they will.

They already demand money for Windows, if you aren't paying it, then you're a thief.

And as they do that, we'll continue moving towards Linux, letting Windows die a slow, painful death

Not Paint! Auuuugggghhh.
I use it for pasting screenshots of error messages. Way faster than waiting for PaintShop or even Paint.net to load.

As windows has followed the Linux route of having a package repository (the Windows Store), they can start peeling these products out of the core installation.
I think this is all to the good.

And it turns out that's exactly what they're doing. Paint is going to the Windows Store[^]. Presumably as a dog fooding exercise using Project Centennial to package win32 apps into the store.

Rereading the article and headline here I love how everyone in the commentariat is merging two very different (at least in the short term) fates together.
At one end Outlook Express is going to be fully gone (and appears to be gone by default in 1703 already). At the other end, Paint is just being officially moved to the no changes expected category; which since it's only received a single non-trivial update since win3.1 (ribbonization in Win7) is little more than an official statement of something that's already defacto true. Screen savers is somewhere in the middle being checked in both categories; appears to just be being kicked out of themes (and again in 1703 it's not obviously there now). And instead is being exiled to configuration via legacy control panel ui instead. With the settings app steadily eating other control panel functionality that doesn't bode well for their long term survival.

Astronomers have finally solved the mystery of peculiar signals coming from a nearby star, a story that sparked intense public speculation this week that perhaps, finally, alien life had been found. Which of course means it must be aliens. It's *always* aliens.
At least according to the History Channel

Researchers have developed a method to increase by a factor of five the computing power of a standard algorithm when performed in one type of standard chip, FPGA. The new method is both simple and smart, but the road to publication has been long. For those that like their Fourier Transforms Fast.
