Seventeen years after Kylix, Embarcardero adds a complete Linux toolchain to Delphi That's the feature that will bring everyone back!

I never used Delphi professionally, but I pottered with it, and, at a time when VB was "the next big thing", it was a lot bigger and a lot better.

Microsoft announced it almost a year ago, but starting today Windows Phone 8.x handsets will no longer receive app updates from the Microsoft Store. "Something touched me deep inside, the day the music died" (or the books anyway)
People actually bought books from the Microsoft store?

People actually bought ebooks? (At least ones with DRM you can't break?)
Dead-tree-books never stop working.

Ah, so that's why the pages of some of your books are stuck together!

I thought the expression "This book is full of sh1t" was just figurative

It's no secret that data science is a good career path. The jobs are in demand, the salaries are compelling, and the work is interesting. So how does someone break in? "Stand back: I'm going to try science!"
Or, "I like big data and I cannot lie"
|
|
|
|
|
Any subject with the word "science" in its name is not a science.

Versioning is inherently hard, but the way that .NET infrastructure is set up makes it harder than it needs to be, I suspect. Don't bother versioning, just create a brand-new project each time

That's a very detailed article, but definitely worth a read 
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

A publicly accessible ElasticSearch cluster owned by Orvibo, a Chinese smart home solutions provider, leaked more than two billion user logs containing sensitive data of customers from countries all over the world. That's not a very smart home then, is it?

Still more than many of their customers / owners

Some smart people I know like to share how much they know, so I'd recon this smart home just trying to show off.

A narrative is growing that Ive’s exit from Apple started years ago Once you've seen one polished piece of aluminum, you've seen them all
Or aluminium, if you prefer. (really, it does make more sense)

I prefer.

Nope - I prefer to stay with the choice of the guy who first identified it. Not some name invented by a board of pseudo-intellects.

Give us this day our foamy head, and forgive us our spillage as we forgive those who spill against us. And lead us not to incarceration, but deliver us from hangovers. For thine is the beer, the bitter and the lager, for ever and ever. Barmen.

I want the word to be shorter - like "steel", "bronze", "gold", "silver", and "iron". Aluminum and magnesium are too freakin long. "Lum", and "Mag" are plenty long enough.

So why not just called them "Al" and "Mg"? Even shorter!
Hmm... Didn't Paul Simon write a song about the naming of Aluminium? "Call me Al"?

Sir Humphry (the guy who first identified it) made a bit of a mess of naming this new element, at first spelling it "Alumium" (this was in 1807) then changing it to "Aluminum", and finally settling on the correct and proper "Aluminium" in 1812.
