The model was trained on hundreds of memes in the “advice animal” style of text and image then tasked with producing its own captions. And then they came for the meme-writers, but I did not speak out -- as I only write blurbs, not memes

Microsoft officials said the Windows 10 April 2018 Update is rolling out to all compatible devices now, two-and-a-half months after its phased rollout began. It's always April somewhere?

Microsoft’s teams have been working over the last few years to bring Python developer tools to the Azure cloud and our most popular developer tools: Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio. "And now for something completely different"

Intel has announced that there's yet another CPU security bug in its Core-based microprocessors. I'd try to write something funny here, but I'm in my own lazy state
But it's already patched, apparently.

Nobody's fooled. We all know you have to say that in case Chris looks through.

The report claims Microsoft is in the process of developing its own systems for tracking what people place in their shopping carts, but doesn’t offer the details of how Microsoft’s technology operates, or how it may differ from others on the market. It looks like you're trying to buy bananas. Would you like help with that?

Oh dear... How often do some crappy minds re-invent the idea of programming for non-programmers? Another COBOL, MUMPS, ... and other crap to be later maintained by programmers who won't love that.

Yes, I remember 4GL's, CASE Tools, Executable UML and other failed attempts to go down these routes.
The best attempt so far is probably VB6, which made GUIs easy to create for the first time (but didn't exactly encourage good programming practice).

The BC was not bought with dollars, so we call it manipulation.

The young .NET Core, an open source, cross-platform alternative to .NET Framework, is increasingly becoming the runtime target choice for C# coders, according to new survey results published by JetBrains. Because it's the Year of (.NET on) Linux?

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

"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?

Apparently "look into" and "predict with good accuracy" mean exactly the same thing in German. Who knew?
