Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

Google Drive may have a way for hackers to trick you into installing rogue code. Welp. I guess they'll cancel it now
And their super-ninja-hacker team didn't find and report it? Wonders!

A new report from Microsoft suggests that cloud-based technologies and Zero Trust architecture will become mainstays of businesses' cybersecurity investments going forward. I hope it's that the hackers are wearing a mask now?
I mean, they are hacking and all. They shouldn't be spreading it.

In the past two years, we have been working tirelessly to enable IntelliCode for more programming languages and, in the meantime, researching ways to improve the model precision and coverage to deliver an even more satisfying user experience. All this work to figure out that I'm going to pick the same method I always pick when I type 'Console.'

Well, I am glad they are working on it, because the slightest typing error in C# in VS 2019 can trigger the insertion of some complex, lengthy, object or method name, that is so irrelevant to the code context ... the nature of the project, the controls and libraries in use ... that it borders on ravings of an insane comedian.

To offer a seamless developer experience, we wanted to create a specialized programming language, called Motoko, that is designed to directly support the programming model of the Internet Computer, making it easier to efficiently build applications and take advantage of some of the more unusual features of this platform. Write Once, Run... somewhere?
What programming language should we use? Yes:
"The Motoko compiler, written in OCaml, uses a typed intermediate representation, a few transformation passes, and spits out Wasm byte code. The generated Wasm module includes a small runtime system, written in C and Rust, that mainly implements a simple garbage collector using the Wasm memory as its heap. "

ProgrammingModelOfInternetComputer defineModel() {
return defineModel();
}

Motoko is Japanese for element, but there doesn't seem to be much elemental about this language.

Quote: Persistence
Another important consideration for Motoko was allowing developers to utilize blockchain technology
And that's when I stopped reading.

Missing documentation and obsolete environments force participants in the Ten Years Reproducibility Challenge to get creative. What is this A: drive you speak of?
Not just scientists, but I think a lot of folk would be stuck if they had to re-install and run something from 10 years ago.

Imagine you’re working for a company who’s about to build a web application for expense reimbursements. Before they do, they task you with building a prototype to evaluate several things including if WebAssembly can be leveraged both on the client in JavaScript and on the server in C#. "How do they get the soft, flowing caramel inside the Caramilk bar?"
They have them everywhere, don't they?
Yeah, I know: invertase. Ain't chemistry grand?

On August 24, 1995, Microsoft held what's likely to go down in history as its biggest Windows launch in history with Windows 95. "If you start me up, I'll never stop"
