My Tesla would certainly fit into my smart city while I admire the sunset from my cyberterrasse tended by robogardeners which excusitely cut the leaves of bioengineered salad growing in my sustainable conapt microgarden, with the IoT fridge loudly wifiing out for more lettuce!
Microsoft search revenue rose by 18%.
How much in real terms?
Also, Granny will be off the Internet once the Upgrade to Win10 has knackered the network interface for good (as happend in this here VAIO which is not in the list of system approved for Win10 but definitely in the list of system that pester you to upgrade to Win10 ... INTO THE TRASH IT GOES)

Avoid anything like that, and if given half the occasion, burn it with fire!
This is why I barf when IEEE design up another advertisement for
★ ★ ★ Rockstars of [some IT stuff] ★ ★ ★.
(Next up: "Rockstars of Counterinsurgency", "Ninjas of Extraordinary Rendition", "Mavericks of Legalized Illegal Surveillance", "Gurus of Quantitative Easing" etc.)

Someone at reddit writes regarding Why your F# evangelism isn't working and this raises an interesting point:
... Another example of this was Microsoft's .Net platform and C# when it first appeared. MS was pushing .Net like no tomorrow and convinced the pragmatists that .Net was the way forward on the Windows platform instead of Java, and of course Mono worked out very well for them because they could point to it as an independent cross-platform implementation.
The problem is MS is not doing the same thing today: they're not pushing F# as the way forward in programming .Net like Apple is Swift. They're afraid to cannibalise the C# business despite the pain points like concurrency and high ceremony/boilerplate. When Microsoft speaks, the pragmatist herd listens.
Today, F#'s biggest competitor is not Haskell or OCaml or whatever, but rather C#.
Oh, Miggy. Now I understand.
Miggy says:
And we found that there was a real thirst with developers to use a high level language which is better than Java and Objective-C. We saw our market grow from zero to hundreds of thousands of developers. I think C# is definitely growing. It is nice how much investment is still going into C# the language.
The only mental image that comes up is a dog endlessy chasing its own tail on which the text "a better bracketty language" can be seen. That dog is seriously retarded and unapologetic about its avoiding ideas that are actually an improvement.
If he had said F# the language, yeah. But C#???
Jimbo's Qt article is pretty informative.
Man, these stories from the times of the Unix war, rise of Linux and Internet Bubble Crazy make me nostalgic.
What stories will we tell when the currently crazy-as-mofo-papermoney-economy-moreover-laden-with-a-few-wars-we-can't-afford crashes into a smoldering heap of compost?
So Google can reap the benefit of GPL without any of its adverse implications on Google's IP, because most of Google code never leaves Google machines.
Yeah, but who gives a fuck? THIS IS WHAT THE GPL IS ABOUT (at least in v2 version)
People should take some time to read and understand the licenses they talk about...
NO U!
IoT is not even a thing, even conceptually it is not developed yet. Hacking something up at home does not an IoT make, it's still just a mini PC with Ethernet, a Gaston Lagaffe innovation. How the hell are you guys arguing about whether RasPi or Arduino is best for it?
Did I mention that it isn't even certain whether anyone of the "consumer demographic" will even shell out for IoT stuff, whatever it is when it will be something?
Well, yes.
It sounds to me like we could implement a Graph Retrieval Language (like Gremlin) on top of relational databases.
Now, we need some good stats on Neo4x + GRL vs. RDBMS + GRL. Numbers, I want to see numbers!
Interesting point is, how do you handle the transactions (what are the transactions?) in graph database?
In the grand scheme of things though, Andromeda Galaxy is barely affected...
(Sadly, this incontinent gun event has already received more attention than a marriage party gate crashed by an incontinent Hellfire missile. It's all a matter of perspective. What a world. I hope Shalmaneser is recording all of this.)
Frankly, Good Samartians should volunteer in droves to do a JFK on the whole motherfucking lot of themgive them an Uber ride to the Fletcher Memorial Home. This includes "Hitler Detector" and part-time SMTP server admin Killary Klingon.
Putting Kh'arly anywhere near a seat of power is just asking for trouble. A failed business clown that pretends to be able to talk other leaders down as if they were boardroom acolytes? She will probably manage to get into a nuke exchange with certain other nations within a month.
If that's the price, that's the price.
Correct. The buyer sets the price. Not the seller.
(Also, in this case the beef seems to be with the fact that Google is not causing more people to buy images from Getty. Well, that's not going to change by a lawsuit or by making people go to the webiste that displays said image originally from Getty.)
