We all know that computer science is of the utmost importance to everybody in this day and age, but it never hurts to remind people every once in a while. Do you have The Right Stuff?

It's last call for the year-long free Windows 10 upgrade offer. As the clock counts down, Microsoft is pulling out all the stops with a full-screen notification. Here's what you'll see. Because that won't irritate anyone

I wonder, what will happen if I choose 'Do not notify me again'?!
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Once you're running W10, you'll never be nagged to upgrade again.
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?

With last weeks C++ committee meeting in Oulu, C++17 is feature complete and on its way to become an international standard. So many ++s, they may run out of incrementors!

After six months of polish, four betas, and two release candidates, Rails 5.0 is finally done! Rails is still around? I thought they all moved to Node?

The only rails I use are the ones in Minecraft[^].

Oracle's silence about Java EE has brought developer community distrust to a fever pitch. Fingers crossed?

Nah, we ain't that lucky...

Oracle's defenses in their cases tend to be rather loony. I'm surprised judges put up with it for so long and don't slap them down harder.

Over the last several years, I’ve had a chance to read a few Programming Resumes. Or, I should say, TRY to read a few resumes. But I put it on the pink paper and everything
Sorry, salmon paper.
Or maybe he meant I should remove the VB4 references?

Always that wrong cover sheet.

I don't disagree with his points, but they're general enough that he could've taken out the word 'programming' and they points would all still be true. Most resumes, programming or otherwise, are pretty terrible.
I'd be more willing than the author to overlook a series of short assignments, because there's a good amount of short term programming contract work available, and some developers want to pursue this route for a while. It helps if the applicant writes '(Contract)' after the shorter positions to indicate that the roles were short-term in nature, to avoid having any hiring managers concluding that the applicant has been repeatedly fired for being incompetent, grumpy, or both.

How do you reach that conclusion? Should we abandon "The Origin of Species" because its a bit outdated?
There are many great ideas in early computing, not all of which have flourished. I like the idea that they should be preserved in case they have utility not yet recognised.

Ah, that - in contrast - does make sense.

The semi-autonomous technology was enabled when a Tesla Model S crashed into a tractor trailer. I'm guessing there was more than one non-autonomous crash today
Yes, one is too many, but I think perspective is needed.
