Have you met any millionaires? Granted, I've only known a few, but I see it like air... those that think the most about air and freak out the most over it are the ones suffocating. When you have plenty of air you stop thinking about it so much.
Anyway, just my two cents. Off to start my day. Have a good one man.

Not that many either, but the best example I can think right now is... Trump

Imagine you're on your way to Mars, and you lose a crucial tool during a spacewalk. Not to worry, you'll simply re-enter your spacecraft and use some microorganisms to convert your urine and exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) into chemicals to make a new one. From beans to beams, beer to gear

Well... that's not that innovative. Once in Mars you can use your poo to grow potatoes too

Never thought we'd be mining our raw materials from a port-o-potty. Looking forward to watching people line up around an intergalactic block for the next version of the biodegradable iphone. If they wait long enough...they can just make their own right on the spot.

When we're trying to decide which cell phone case to buy or which hotel room to book, we often rely on the ratings and reviews of others to help us choose. But new research suggests that we tend to use this information in ways that can actually work to our disadvantage. +1 on this study, would misinterpret again!

In tech these days there is a philosophy of failing fast, which in practice means testing ideas in the market to determine whether they have value and to rapidly cut losses when testing reveals something isn’t working and quickly try something else. If that was "promising", I'd hate to see what they consider "whacky"

Ars gets the first look at Facebook's fancy new dynamic analysis tool. Survival of the buggiest?

Wow, there's a picture of some hobo with a lightbulb and the caption "Look, it's really hard to find stock imagery for "evolutionary algorithm."" 
The top server room picture is captioned "An arty photo of one of Facebook's data centres."
And then the diagram caption "A block diagram of Sapienz. It might make a bit more sense if you finish reading the story, then try to decode this."
Kent, was it you who captioned those pictures?

Microsoft is pushing its new file system out of the mainstream and into the high end. Ah well, we'll always have FAT

It didn't take long for developers to start putting Microsoft's new .NET Core. 2.0 release through its paces in benchmark tests against alternative languages. "I know you won't break the rules. There aren't any."
|

|

Not surprising that GO beats .NET Core, as GO is a compiled language. I'm tempted now to try GO.
Beware though that GO is not really suited for creating rich user interfaces.

The tests aren't "real" enough because they are all run in memory. IMHO, the test programs should do some "hard(ware) IO", like reading from a disk file, doing network data exchange, etc., to see the differences. This is the area where .NET Core could shine due to its "async" support of overlapped IO. Java and Go do not have such a support as far as I know (maybe I am wrong since I know very little about both).
By the way, "overlapped IO" is not limited to Windows, Unix family of OS has "epoll" to support it ...

The shiny newness of life in the workforce begins to wear off. Sorry, 34-year olds that like their jobs

Not "age 35" but 08:35 in my experience.

I start at 0700 so it's a little earlier for me.

If I'm, apparently, liking my job now (not 35 yet) then whence cometh hate?

By 35, you're probably realizing your life is likely 1/2 over, and what have you done besides being a legal slave? And yeah, the mid-life crisis thing already mentioned.

For most people in the Western World, their adult life has barely started at age 35:
Ages 0..18 - minor
Ages 19..22 - college (not real life)
Ages 22..65 - work
Ages 66..78 - retirement
By my calculation, they have lived 13/56 (or less than 25%) of their adult lives, and 13/43 (less than 33%) of their working lives. This gives them plenty of time to change careers, should they feel the need.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
