The quest for storage devices that pack more information into a smaller space has reached a new limit, with memory that writes information atom-by-atom. Can they read it back?
Now they just have to figure out how to miniaturize a scanning-tunneling microscope.

Quote: of those who interviewed over Skype dress professionally on the top and
casual on the bottom during their interviews – with 3% admitting they go pant-less altogether.
Quote: Microsoft worked with career expert and inspiration power-house Maxie McCoy to put together tips for how to design a show-stopping resume and how to have an unforgettable Skype interview.
Be a 3%er and stand up at the end of the interview without turning the camera off?

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?

Quote: Python 2 will no longer be supported as of 2020, and Python 3 is the established successor.
Is there any actual community support for this yet? Last I heard pythonistas were clinging to their 2.x language version harder than a govt burrocrat was to Windoze XP.

The lurch from employer-centric computing education to one driven by programming means the middle ground of tech skills – between basic computer proficiency and advanced code creation – has thinned out. "Why not both?"

The way I see it, I believe the guy doesn't like programming at all. Plus, he seems to be a fan of SQL Server 2016 that comes with R engines for data analysis and data presentation. Overkill.

he lacked the analytics skills to understand the connections his data could prove. Oh dear, that guy does not understand data analysis at all: he will find interesting coincidences in the data, but a "proof of connections" cannot be given by statistics.

Redmond is not only killing your 15GB camera roll back-up bonus, it's also slashing 10GB off your account, bringing it down to 5GB. Maybe we should send them some old hard drives to help with storage?

Can I send them old memories of me and my friends? They are going to have them anyways.
But then I see that I am a Microsoft MVP and I can find a way around these using a few of the benefits that I get. How about that, bro?

They got enough data from that project and now they need the room for another one that they will kill/slash in the future.

They are going to use it to store all the build files as they finally go about fixing the bugs they have been sweeping under the rug in Visual Studio and their other products
