Speed is "how fast you go," and velocity is "how far you go." In other words, velocity is the movement with a significant focus on the destination; speed is only the movement. That's what I keep telling my manager

Microsoft has issued a Windows 10 security update to prevent hackers from breaking into PCs using Cortana. I'm glad someone has found a use for it

"Cortana, PWN that computer."
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?

Computer scientists from the University of Bonn have developed software that can look a few minutes into the future. And I predict I will be eating lunch five minutes from now.
|

Apparently "look into" and "predict with good accuracy" mean exactly the same thing in German. Who knew?
|
|
|
|
|
Almost. "In die Zukunft schauen" is literally "look into the future". But there is no indication of the accuracy of the prediction.
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Unimpressed. When I want to know the future, I just call someone in a more easterly time zone. They know stuff hours before I do. 5 minutes is nothing.

Eric S. Raymond discusses the need to "clean" legacy code, along with tips on how to help others maintain your code long after you're gone. "Good programmers know what to write. Great ones know what to rewrite (and reuse)."

So when you come back from a bicycle tour on a very rainy day and the finger print sensor can't read your fingers, you can still get into your home by using your phone. Smart.

Microsoft has given its infamous Office ribbon a much simpler, much less cluttered look as part of its interface redesign for Office.com and Office 365 applications. No sense making those functions visibly available
|

I guess I blame Microsoft for societies ills. They started the whole "everyone gets a ribbon" movement. That also reminds me, its time to pull out the smoker with some BBQ sauce and get my rib on.

Microsoft explains how it decides whether a vulnerability will be patched swiftly or left for a version update. Q1: Has it affected a VP or other manager at Microsoft?
Q2: Has anyone noticed it yet?

After Intel nabbed Raja Koduri last year from AMD, where he led Radeon development, it was only a matter of time until it entered the high-end GPU arena. And then in 2021, they'll gut it and put it on the main CPU again

And it will still run at a tenth the speed of everyone else.

During the last Build conference, Microsoft has announced the next version of Visual Studio with C# 7.3 support. This is yet another minor language update with some quite interesting features. The main change was related to generics, starting from C# 7.3 there 3 more constraints: unmanaged, System.Enum and System.Delegate. Unmanaged generics. That sounds like it's sharp on both ends.

X-ray vision has long seemed like a far-fetched sci-fi fantasy, but over the last decade a team led by Professor Dina Katabi from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has continually gotten us closer to seeing through walls. Those funky glasses not needed

A lot of companies are trying to make it easier to use artificial intelligence, but few are making it as simple as Lobe. Because visual programming solutions are always complete and solve the problem perfectly!

Hackers could have snuck malware past several popular third-party Mac security tools thanks to a mistake in how the tools were implementing Apple digital certificate APIs. iTunes makes total sense now
