The project, that was originally started by Nokia under the name DVLUP rewards program, aimed to reward developers with badges, XP, gift cards and other prizes for developing or incorporating new features in their apps. The what now?

Microsoft isn’t building its own connected car — but it is launching a new Azure-based cloud platform for car manufacturers that want to use the cloud to power their own connected-car services. Good news for all of you that drive on clouds

It happens to everyone that writes code all day long — the sudden feeling of "I'd rather do anything else than this right now" — even though writing software is one of your favorite activities in the world. "Burning out his fuse up here alone"
The William Shatner version, of course.

But doesn't that feeling eventually come to everyone who does the same thing all day long? It's not specific to software developers. 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Every job sucks, simply because it's a job.
Fortunately, we're in a line of work where the old excitement can be found again, from time to time.

I stopped paying attention to tech trends and reading hacker news.

On December 30, the White House quietly released its Near-Earth Object Preparedness Strategy, a 25-page document outlining the United States’ plans in the event that a giant asteroid is found to be on a collision course with Earth. Two words: Bruce. Willis.

A 25-page government document?
So that's:
- Five pages front matter (+ two "This page intentionally left blank" pages)
- Two pages of preamble (+ one "This page intentionally left blank" page)
- Two pages of introduction, twice, from different departments (+ one "This page intentionally left blank" page)
- One page of executive overview (+ one "This page intentionally left blank" page)
- Four outline pages (+ one "This page intentionally left blank" page)
- One page for the index
That leaves two pages for the content.
I'll bet it's a great read.

The two pages of actual content say "START SCREAMING" in 96 point font.

Well, if Chuck Norris has a day off, I guess Bruce will have to take over...

FTC: D-Link failed to take reasonable steps to secure its routers and Internet Protocol (IP) cameras, potentially compromising sensitive consumer information You mean admin/password isn't security?
I mean, they probably mentioned in their manual that changing passwords might be a good idea.

There are manuals for routers?!

What, are you saying that you don't love the Help system for HP servers?
Where I am, it works wonderfully -- I mean downloading live content from the Internet (there is no off-line option) is just perfect for air-gapped systems!
Thank Heaven that their management tools, pre-boot options, etc, are so intuitive.

Interpreters are out and native code is in for Google's Python to Go transcompiler, which is designed to replace CPython 2.7. Coming soon: a compiler that uses your Python code to create a custom chipset
There must be some way to get performance out of this!

Today, Razer unveiled what it refers to as "the world's first automated triple display laptop". I don't understand, but I think I want it
Of course, battery life will likely be measured in batteries per minute, not minutes per battery

Powered by a GTX-1080? Yeah, car batteries per minute would be accurate.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

There’s nothing quite like Psyche anywhere else in our solar system—a small asteroid belt object made entirely of iron-nickel metal. The mission name better have a few umlauts in it
Psyche? No, I think not. Ästëröïd Hüntsmän!
