Researchers now say price manipulation was the cause of at least half the rise the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies at the tail end of 2017. "Never put money down unless you're sure in advance you will win."

The BC was not bought with dollars, so we call it manipulation.

The young .NET Core, an open source, cross-platform alternative to .NET Framework, is increasingly becoming the runtime target choice for C# coders, according to new survey results published by JetBrains. Because it's the Year of (.NET on) Linux?

|
It was me guys, I just started using .NET Core.

Speed is "how fast you go," and velocity is "how far you go." In other words, velocity is the movement with a significant focus on the destination; speed is only the movement. That's what I keep telling my manager

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?

Computer scientists from the University of Bonn have developed software that can look a few minutes into the future. And I predict I will be eating lunch five minutes from now.
|
|
|
|
|
Apparently "look into" and "predict with good accuracy" mean exactly the same thing in German. Who knew?
|
|
|
|
|
Almost. "In die Zukunft schauen" is literally "look into the future". But there is no indication of the accuracy of the prediction.

Unimpressed. When I want to know the future, I just call someone in a more easterly time zone. They know stuff hours before I do. 5 minutes is nothing.

Eric S. Raymond discusses the need to "clean" legacy code, along with tips on how to help others maintain your code long after you're gone. "Good programmers know what to write. Great ones know what to rewrite (and reuse)."

So when you come back from a bicycle tour on a very rainy day and the finger print sensor can't read your fingers, you can still get into your home by using your phone. Smart.

Microsoft has given its infamous Office ribbon a much simpler, much less cluttered look as part of its interface redesign for Office.com and Office 365 applications. No sense making those functions visibly available
|
|

I guess I blame Microsoft for societies ills. They started the whole "everyone gets a ribbon" movement. That also reminds me, its time to pull out the smoker with some BBQ sauce and get my rib on.

Microsoft explains how it decides whether a vulnerability will be patched swiftly or left for a version update. Q1: Has it affected a VP or other manager at Microsoft?
Q2: Has anyone noticed it yet?

After Intel nabbed Raja Koduri last year from AMD, where he led Radeon development, it was only a matter of time until it entered the high-end GPU arena. And then in 2021, they'll gut it and put it on the main CPU again

And it will still run at a tenth the speed of everyone else.
