As a technology research analyst, I try to keep up pace with the changing world of technology. It seems like every single day, there is a new programming language, framework, or tool emerging out of nowhere. Why should it?

For one thing, what other languages, besides C++, are you going to use to write toy languages?
|
|
|
|
|
You could probably write it in C?
|
|
|
|
|
is someone going to stop by and convert these millions of lines of C in our repo into %%LANGUAGE_OF_THE_DAY%% for us?
no?
C it is.

Machines will take over more than half of the world’s current workplace functions by 2025, according to a new report by the World Economic Forum. That’s up from 29 percent of functions today. Just wait until AI take over writing articles about how AI will take over

As microplastics permeate remote places and species around the globe, people are no exception. So... we need to eat bigger plastics? Or is this saying we need to chew more?
This health advice is so confusing.
|
|
|
|
|
The advice is actually simple: remove the plastic foil from your food before you eat it. (Or for chefs: remove the plastic foil before you cook/fry/bake it.)

Working overtime, or crunch, as it’s more commonly called, has been part of the gaming industry for years. 'Crunch time' shouldn't be 'all the time'
Of course, if you *really* want to, feel free. I'll be having a cocktail on the deck in the meantime.
Yes, it was only three weeks in this case, but I have had managers call for "crunch time" at the *beginning* of a project in the past.

Microsoft appears to have let another significant bug through in the supposedly stable rollout of its October 2018 update to Windows 10. /sigh
|
|
|
|
|
Article says: The good news for non-insiders is that the update doesn't appear to be enforcing itself on anyone, so if you do get offered it, you can (and probably should) ignore it until whatever mess Microsoft is making is finally sorted.
My Win10 Lappie doesn't let you choose "what" to update, only when to do the reboot. Am I missing something?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Today, the maker of another open source database, MongoDB, plans to introduce a license of its own to deal with the issue cited by Redis: cloud service providers that sell hosted versions of open-source programs – such as Redis and MongoDB database servers – without offering anything in return. It no longer wants to be pawn in game of life
|
|
|
|
|
What a bunch of tools: "How dare you use our free product for free!"
We should set up a table outside of MongoDB headquarters with "free cookies". But, every time someone takes a free cookie, we slap it out of their hands and call them freeloading bastards.

MonogDB has 355 contributors at this point (of which 1/10th is actually MongoDB employee)...
As a lot of open source projects it became mature and prime-time ready by those contributions, not because of the one started it...
In the case of MongoDB the idea wasn't that original at all...
Look around you - you have endless solutions for the very same problem... One goes up and the second vanishes... The reason has a lot of factors, like quality and cost... In case the cost goes up people will put their effort in the next project in line...
Writing code is not simple, but only a small part of an application life-cycle...

Perennially popular programming language Python may be a fan favorite, but can you make a living as a Python developer? I got two minutes for my last "hockey stick moment"
|
|
|
|
|
Waiting for the headline "Python has choke hold on top language spot." or "Python squeezing out the competition". Does it "scale" well? I suppose thats enough bad snake jokes for today. Don't want to ruin my rep...tile.

Even though the worm-inspired network only consists of 12 neurons, it can be trained to steer a rover robot to a given spot. What does this say about those of us who cannot park a car?
|
|
|
|
|
A few billion other neurons micro-managing those dozen neurons trying to do the actual work seems to be not-so-good an idea.

The possibility of life on Mars has been a tantalizing possibility for years, and recent discoveries have only increased excitement about whether we'll find life on the red planet. Now, a new study in Nature Geoscience posits that it's possible that Mars may have enough oxygen to harbor life under its surface. I remember this from that documentary with Arnold
|
|
|
|
|
If funded studies are happy with 'possible' results, send me money! I've got a lot of investigations I'll get to documenting upon receipt!

How silly, we know there's water on Mars because of the biographies of John Carter by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
