Even though it can make your wife happy, Blender is better, because Margaritas! (Well, that's not really a Margarita, but the point still stands. I'd rather do scale 3d work in it than something that uses a command prompt like OpenSCAD does! But OpenSCAD does seem to be a neat achievement by command line standards, so thanks for pointing it out!)

Lambdas will be getting a small upgrade in C# 9 with two new features. Neither will change the way code is written, but they do clarify the developer’s intent. I would have gone with 'lambda delta'

Windows 10X takes aim at Chrome OS as Microsoft plans to ship without legacy app support. Good thing no one uses any desktop apps anymore

Next up, Zune support! (As in, getting 10X to run on Zunes!) 
Either way, I'll never use it.

As long as they do this as a independant branch... and don't mess with the Desktop OS to add something needed for this... I am happy.

The Google Home app team explains why all Android developers should write their apps in Kotlin. Strange how they developed an aversion to Java
I wonder what may have caused that?

I believe you're thinking of whOracle.
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?

Except Kotlin is basically Java with bells and whistles.
Kotlin is complied to Java compatible bytecode.
Having worked on Kotlin for the past year or so I have really come to appreciate the .NET framework and Visual Studio.

Had to look him up. He's from Middlesbrough? Sounds just like a former fellow Texan to me. Even says freeway instead of motorway. 
And survived pancreatic cancer?! He's truly been on the Road to Hell and back. Lemminkäinen, this one.
This isn't usually the kind of thing I listen to, but I enjoyed it.

And there's nothing you can do
It's all just bits of paper flying away from you.
He knows a ton about central banking, that's for sure.

Deep learning‘s reached the end of its rope. At least according to a group of MIT researchers who recently conducted an audit of more than 1,000 pre-print papers on arXiv. I think I may have heard that before

A few hours after minimally setting it up and tethered to his phone for internet - during which he hadn't figured out that a Chromebook wasn't just MS doing something new and funky with Windows - he got an alert that it had sucked down half his dataplan for the month doing out of the box patching. It got turned off, and after I couldn't google a way to make it treat his phone as a metered connection ended up dumped in a corner at home never again turned on. Next up he bought some garbage windows tablet with a self collapsing stand and a magneticly attached keyboard whose connection was too low quality to maintain reliable connection over the pogo pins it used. On top of that I got treated to a number of rants about how it had "Windows Five" and he couldn't install anything. At least that bit of fail I could un-![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif)
when I visited and could figure out what he was actually going on about by creating an MS account for myemail+dadslaptop@host.tld to opt out of S mode. With 10X apparently going to support arm on the cheap end, there won't be any way to convert it back to a real computer and I don't have to test it to know that streaming desktop applications won't be compatable with metered connection bandwidth limits.
