When a Mommy hamster and a Daddy hamster love each other very much...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

Isn't that putting the cart before the horse.

When a Boy hamster and a Girl hamster get married.
Is that both bowdlerized and accurate enough?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

A team of scientists from Oxford University used a virtual prototype to demonstrate how the natural movement of bacteria could be harnessed to turn cylindrical rotors and provide a steady power source. Beware of very small Don Quixotes

Bacteria wind farms? Sounds like a guy i once knew at a previous company.
Every day, after a lunch of voluminous amounts of legumes his bacterial wind farm would start production!

You should have used him to power the company!

why not "hamster wheel farms"
perhaps it would be easier to control ?

It has been about two weeks since we shipped .NET Core / ASP.NET Core 1.0. The team has used the past two weeks to take a deep breath, and is now getting started on planning what is coming next. Now that the "small, lightweight" version is launched, time to start shoveling stuff into it.

(upvoted) "...start shoveling stuff into it..."

In a recent survey, Gartner found what early adopters already know: The cloud is changing IT careers in a big way. You know someone will kick you off their cloud sometime

Orleans is a framework that provides a straightforward approach to building distributed high-scale computing applications, without the need to learn and apply complex concurrency or other scaling patterns. It was created by Microsoft Research and designed for use in the cloud. Now you too can take a little trip along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.

This is actually a pretty amazing bit of technology - basically bringing event sourcing (CQRS) into the .NET framework (and in the process making my efforts over the last 3 years largely redundant ) - but the rainbow projecting unicorns write-up doesn't really help their cause.

Microsoft isn't going to make its self-imposed deadline of having Windows 10 installed on 1 billion devices by mid-2018, company officials have conceded. Shocked. I'm completely shocked.

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?

Stack Overflow alternatives
Code Project
CodeProject is a similar site to Stack Overflow with developer queries as well as a ‘quick answers’ section for questions that get asked on a regular basis. However Code Project differs in the fact that it also has an extensive range of articles as well as a discussion area. It is said that a lot of the content on CodeProject focuses on Windows programming.
The only reason this post[^] is newsworthy is because of the above quote.

Forgive me saying so but having been around for 30 years I have noticed inflation here on CP (quality of articles deteriorated with exceptions) and battle on SO for getting points. I used to contribute heavily to Experts Exchange in the past and learned a lot helping other people there. I do see a pyramid with a few experienced and knowledgeable individuals at the top and a bulk of wannabees under that. Once again, forgive me saying so.

I tried both, and while here I was able to give in SO I stuck because I have no the points to answer/opinion...
SO also has no articles - a big problem with me...
