A critical feature of modern workloads is the ability to distribute data across many nodes for faster access, management, and analysis, which is also known as a "divide and conquer" strategy. Because there's more than one open source DB out there

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

As you may have read on the Windows Experience blog, Joe Belfiore announced today that Microsoft Edge is coming to iOS and Android, bringing the best browsing experience on Windows 10 to more pockets around the world. Hurrah, my current browser compatibility woes were getting a little stale

Just look on the bright side; Edge doesn't support Conditional Comments.

Does that mean it ignores them instead of evaluating them, or that it skips the evaluation part and loads all 3 style sheets?
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?

Think about the way this keeps the economy going.
Now companies need at least 1 or 2 more devs to support the new browser.
Very nice of Microsoft.
And no worries, AI can't handle the browser problem, cuz they ain't no logic to it!

You’ve probably heard the conventional wisdom that teams should be aligned around a common goal. But while it’s important to have a shared business objective, the idea that everyone needs to have the same goal is selling your engineering team short. Wrong!

VulnScan is able to automatically deduce the root cause of the most common types of memory corruption issues. Not that any of you need it, but you might have to deal with someone else's code

We need a version that'll run on a Politician, analyzing their campaign promises to their in-office actions. However, such may well indeed be too complex yet even for today's supercomputers.
The best way to improve Windows is run it on a Mac.

When cyber spies known as NetTraveler were busy snooping on hundreds of government and military victims in 40 countries a few years ago, little did they know that another hacking group was probably watching them. "Good artists copy, great artists steal."

Microsoft will quit its loss-making Surface hardware business by 2019, according to execs from PC manufacturers and a channel watcher. If you read one SWAG today, make it this one

Make enough guesses predictions and one will be right. (At which point, you only talk about it and not all the wrong guesses you made.)
(Snark aside, Microsoft is very good at hardware peripherals, but not so great at systems hardware. But then again, few are. I use a Surface daily--it's what our customers use for my software--and I've not been impressed. Then again, I barely tolerate my smart phone, so I may not be the best reviewer of tablets.)

Researchers from the University of Bristol have discovered that super-powerful quantum computers, which scientists and engineers across the world are racing to build, need to be even more powerful than previously thought before they can beat today's ordinary PCs. Is it in the box with the cat?
