Youth may be what HR wants, but nobody bangs out code like a longtime programming pro. "Old man, take a look at my life. I'm a lot like you"

Quote Infoworthless: Even if these are true -- there’s evidence they aren’t -- programming geezers have valuable wisdom you can’t absorb simply by watching a TED talk on YouTube or fast-forwarding through a MOOC
Fortunately, we have the clickbait press to teach us those lessons. 
I'm also wondering if they put the age cutoff in the wrong spot. I'm still closer to getting my BS than to 50 and can check at least 4 of the 5 boxes. I'm not sure if I could ID a swapthrashfest from indexing by drive noise; the behavior of the OS while the former is going on vs the latter is obvious enough that I never tried listening for a different pattern. 
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?

Look at the evidence. Microsoft seems certain to finally stop trying to push a Windows-based mobile OS on us and embrace the Android future. That's one way to get the #1 mobile OS

Actually I would be a bit surprised because:
1) There is no margin in hardware
2) There is no margin in OS
The only profit is the app store side of things - and if MS go to Android they either have to accede to Google app store or compete with...which would turn the only profitable part of the mobile phone ecosystem into a race to the bottom too.

There's some really sad things about that pic. Look how she's dressed. It must be freezing in that room. She's even got some sort of mitten to keep her hand warm. And she looks horribly bored -- what a way to treat a human being, pecking at a stupid screen for probably 12 hours a day. We all know it, but this is a pretty good example of the negative side-effects to tech.

By exploiting some peculiarities of the popular Web programming framework Ruby on Rails, researchers have developed a system that can quickly comb through tens of thousands of lines of application code to find security flaws. Peculiarities in Ruby on Rails. You're being a little redundant there.

Sounds to me like a static analysis tool (lint), such as have been existence since at least 1979 (when the Unix Lint tool was released).
Is that really the first Lint for Ruby?
Nothing to see here, move on.

Microsoft will stop operating the RoboVM service for turning Java-based applications into native mobile apps for iOS and Android. After April 30, 2017, developers’ subscriptions to the service will not work. They're still a little sensitive when it comes to Java apps

iTunes for Windows is still OK, but QuickTime is serious bug bait and Apple is no longer providing security updates. It's never too late to correct a mistake like that

That's probably the widest definition of 'relatively' I've heard in quite a while.

Skype for Web, Outlook.com, Office Online and OneDrive can do voice, video calling without plug-ins when used with Windows 10's Edge browser. The browser no one uses, now supports the chat no one likes. Winning!
Yes, those are both gross exaggerations. Sorry for the offence, Edge team.

The owner of a Web hosting company who claimed to have erased his entire business from the Internet with a single script command appears to have made the whole thing up. Bonus marks for those who declared shenanigans
But I am at a loss as to how this could be used for marketing: "Oh look, I advertised that I'm an idiot (and people took me seriously). Buy my services."
I suppose it's the old "There is no such thing as bad publicity"
