The full version of Minecraft: Education Edition includes the much-anticipated Classroom Mode companion app, enabling educators to manage world settings, communicate with students, give items, and teleport students in the Minecraft world. Reading, writing, and redstone?

Redstone is Turing complete, and can be used to teach basic logic and programming.

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The idea of software craftsmanship, as expressed in the Manifesto for Software Craftsmanship, is (in part) to encourage software developers to strive for excellence in their work in order to create productive partnerships with customers and to add value steadily for those customers. "All headlines are click-bait"

Quote: He points out that in a craft such as, for instance, cathedral-building, the work is intrinsically beautiful in its own right. In contrast, using the same sort of stone as was used in the cathedral to build a bridge, the goal is to make the bridge sturdy and utilitarian, such that people don’t even notice it.
The way that bridges and Cathedrals are made (when made from stone) are almost exactly the same and in both cases it was thus so as to make the maximum amount of structure from the minimum amount of mass (because in masonry, weight is cost) which is exactly how you should do software too.
If elegance is an emergent property of that, then so much the better.

That’s according to NSS Labs which today announced the results of its latest Web Browser Security comparative test. Not even the hackers want to use Edge

Its the same story with Macs and security... hackers are not wasting their time since the market share is so small.

Yet it can't correctly display a very simple webpage that I have had for twenty years. Every other browser I have tried handles it just fine. Edge doesn't so I do not use it.

Not hard to avoid hackers when your product is not used by most.

Microsoft yesterday stopped providing Windows 7 Professional and Windows 8.1 licenses to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including its PC partners and systems builders. Save your copies, they might be worth something one day
Along with all those AoL CDs

They should revive 7. It's way better than that crapware the call 8 & 10.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

Ditto. However, I see it this way, though they might be breathing longer than us, they are not living longer than us...damnit!

But it can be a correlation by accident as also vegans life longer. Not while vegan is "so healthy", but because these people are more interested in living healthy (like not smoking but sports)

How do they even have enough data for that kind study????
Although I'm just judging by the headline--can't read the article while I'm at work

No mention of normalization vs age, so I'm going to assume they actually proved that younger people live longer. 
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?

They don't actually live longer. It just seems that way to them.

I'm impressed at the professionalism of the team conducting the survey, how they diligently collated data from the last five generations, to assess life expectancy.
And it's true. A hundred years ago, there was no facebook and people died younger.
Kowtow and thank facebook for this.

But crucially the article states
Quote: That doesn't mean Facebook is necessarily good for you, Fowler cautions. Correlation does not prove causation, so it's impossible to say whether being on Facebook makes you healthier, or whether healthy people are more likely to be on Facebook.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare
