The charmingly outdated media player Winamp is being reinvented as a platform-agnostic audio mobile app that brings together all your music, podcasts, and streaming services to a single location. Keep your llamas indoors for safety!

They've been saying that for years, but so far nothing has happened...
I've been using version 5.666 (the version of the beast!) ever since Winamp closed their doors.
Looking really forward to version 5.667 though 
Also, have an upvote for mentioning Winamp

I use 5.666 too and have yet to find a reason for a newer version.

Me neither, but at least it'd mean they're back in business

We are also waiting on the imminent release of the next version of Animal Crossing[^], hopefully on the Nintendo Switch.

Same here. Plays my music just fine. Streaming is nice sort of - I like Spotify when I'm in the car...

outdated? All right then. I will happily stick with old stuff since the "modern" alternatives are so horrendous. The music player on iOS is horrific. I would love to have WinAmp for iOS if it at least has a resemblance to its former self.

Mixnode allows you to think of all the web pages, images, videos, PDF files, and other resources on the web as rows in a database table; a giant database table with trillions of rows that you can query using the standard Structured Query Language (SQL). So, rather than running web crawlers/scrapers you can write simple queries in a familiar language to retrieve all sorts of interesting information from this table of live data.
Closed beta, so no idea how it works, but figured at least some people here would be interested in taking a look.
That said because we all know the importance of a snarky tagline for insider stories...
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
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?

Official details about Microsoft's supposed work on making Windows 10 'modern' and more modular in nature have been scant, but a flurry of documents and insider reports over the last year have given us some idea about where the company plans to take its OS, and how those plans might relate to the fabled Andromeda. Or maybe Windows Core is like .NET Core: designed to run on Linux?

The last paragraph:Quote: This would include devices running Core OS, which may lead one to wonder what specific benefits the Windows.Core platform might provide to developers in order to tempt them away from the universality of Windows.Universal.
I am led to wonder why the article does not attempt a hypothetical answer to this question.
The article does mention the long rumored Andromeda double-screen device: I've always wanted a PDA in that form-factor.

Among the 30 million users impacted, 14 million had their names, contact details and sensitive information such as their gender, relationship status and recent location check-ins exposed. The hackers might end up out of work if Facebook keeps just releasing the data like this.

Really? You sex is now "sensitive information"? And are these people aware that marriage and divorce records are public?
Also curious if the alarmists ever heard of a big book with most everyone's phone number and address in it.

Gender in itself is a "potential identifier" due to the large percentage with that trait. Similar to this would be "age".
However; when combined with other potential identifiers these can narrow results down: How many 45 year old male secretaries named Mike does Company A employee?

I would say that those are more examples of personal information than sensitive information. Sensitive information would include medical data, criminal history and political affiliations. Sensitive information is a subset of personal information. My email address and postal address are personal but not sensitive. Sensitive information, if revealed, can lead to discrimination and / or prejudice.

Agile development often runs aground in large-scale software environments and with digital, every software environment is growing in scale.Still, Agile may be doable. But I thought it solved all problems, *and* made coffee for the team?

Now, the drive to digital
What's with this word "digital?" Have I been living in an analog world and this is some newfangled thing? I guess I should turn my search engine knob to Google and twiddle the dials to search for this "digital" thing so I can learn about it on my vacuum tube analog monitor.

I am not worried about liars, I do think they are not that difficult to spot.
I am worried about people that really think their "lie / alternative reality" is the truth. These are the really dangerous ones.

Okay, so sniffing status for mating/bonding/dominance goes back 400 million years, and programmers are mammals ... even if fully geeked ... and, perhaps, vomeronasally challenged ... that still does not explain Agile: [^]
But, scrum ?
