Another piece of Microsoft's 'Open Mind Studio' falls into place: A new extension enabling developers to use AI services from inside Visual Studio. To make up for the missing NI behind the keyboard?

My first project will be a programming assistant floating about in your VS and commenting on your code and what you should do next. His default message will be: "My first guess, your code sucks!" Not to be derivative, but I will call him: Snippy  (official name: Snippit - Visual Studio Assistent).

True, but let's be honest.. even newly created empty project is.

Microsoft continues to build best all-in-one dev ops platform for mobile development. If Johnny programmed off a bridge, would you do it too?

Isn't VS Code just Atom with a few bells and Microsoftisms? (Too lazy this morning to do a search) That would explain the synchrony.

I'm too lazy to check too -- we are obviously software devs  -- but you may very well be correct about the two being the same thing.
Maybe everything is the same thing. It's all just forked off github.

The Pentagon is a software-intensive workplace. Why are we getting all these pull requests from China and Russia?
|
|
|
|
|
I guess that's one way of getting around the embarrassment of wikileaks. Just make everything open source! Oh wait, this is the Pentagon, not the NSA. Well, same difference. 
|
|
|
|
|
Why are those pull requests full of stuff like:
((Processor*)(((int*)(void*)this) + 1147))->execute(*datablob)
... such stuff as dreams are made on

A couple of years ago while a guest of Marc Benioff onstage at Salesforce’s Dreamforce customer conference, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said something that seemed to signal a new period of amicable cooperation for his company. Several pieces of evidence seem to suggest that the period of friendly cooperation that was in full bloom in 2015 could be over, and not just with Salesforce. "And the world looks just the same, and history ain't changed"

Most enterprises and government organizations fell vulnerable to insider threats and around half have experienced an insider attack in the last year, according to a new report. And the other 10% have no insiders?
Can't think of any other way they might be immune

It's 100% at my company  .

Fortran may be trending down on Google, but its foundational role in scientific applications ensure that it won't be retiring anytime soon. I believe the traditional gift is a jar of Ovaltine and a nice pair of slippers
Maybe a sweater.

Something soft, it doesn't have the byte it used to have.

Harumpf!
What are these "byte" things you young whippersnappers are talking about? In my day we had INTEGER, REAL, DOUBLE PRECISION, COMPLEX, and LOGICAL, and liked it!
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.

One of the more esoteric announcements to come out of SuperComputing 17, an annual conference on high-performance computing, is that one of the largest US scientific institutions is investing in Raspberry Pi-based clusters to aid in development work. The Los Alamos National Laboratory’s High Performance Computing Division now has access to 750-node Raspberry Pi clusters as part of the first step towards a development program to assist in programming much larger machines.
I wonder how well it compares to a giant IPaq cluster. Probably nicer packaging if nothing else.
I can't help but thing though that if the intent is to be a super computer development prototype platform they wouldn't've done better to made a 250Pi model, at ~1330W it could be run off a standard 15A US residential circuit. 750 cores seems like it should still be enough to catch any obvious scalability problems.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

I would think that the last thing Los Alamos is worried about is their power supply...

They run science apps written by researchers all over the US. A test box that can be plugged into a normal outlet in the leads office or project lab is much easier to get set up than something which needs a special outlet or rackspace space in a datacenter.
