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?

App Maker is G Suite’s low-code application development environment that makes it easy for teams to build custom apps to speed up workflows and make processes better. Give it a try, so they have a reason to cancel it

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).

Researchers now say price manipulation was the cause of at least half the rise the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies at the tail end of 2017. "Never put money down unless you're sure in advance you will win."

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?

It was me guys, I just started using .NET Core.

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

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.

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?
