Quote: After the tasting, the radish and cookie groups, along with a control group who didn’t eat anything, were given a difficult puzzle: they were asked to trace a geometric figure without lifting their pen from paper, or crossing over any lines twice. Unbeknownst to them, the puzzles were unsolvable, and the researchers measured how long it would take the groups to give up. The radish group gave up more quickly than the chocolate group—potentially, the scientists argued, because they had already depleted mental energy in forgoing the temptation to eat cookies.
Apparently I'm overestimating the average intelligence of the participants or the researchers underestimated it. This result is the opposite of what I'd've expected; which is that the brain-fried people would start dragging the pen around failing to trace it, while those who were still alert would just quickly examine the graph see at least 3 nodes with odd numbers of lines and realize it was futile almost immediately.
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?

I would have failed the radish group test.

Immersive experiences, AI automation and new data platforms are among the innovations topping Gartner's 2022 Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies. It's Gartner, so you know it's 100% accurate +/- 120%, 22 times out of 20

I have heard about only a small handful of these 25, and for most of those I have heard of, they are so vague that I wouldn't be able to explain the concept to a twelve year old so that he would understand. Most of the 25 concepts are likely to die out without ever affecting me and my work at all.
Admittedly, my daily life is not very hype oriented. I find it more important to develop usable software than to subscribe to every new hype offered in the software development marketplace.

“A student can build an app without needing to learn new languages without needing to learn new skills,” said Near founder Illia Polosukhin. Letting all those astounding web developers loose on your blockchain? Priceless.

From their JavaScript SDK page:
Quote: JavaScript is the most popular programming language, used by nearly 14 million developers worldwide.
Near founder quoted to say:
Quote: There’s about 20 million JavaScript developers in the world.
Hmm, I'm supposed to trust their blockchain when they can't count?

It seems that when you quietly ask company leaders to tell the truth about how they're going digital, they beat their chests and weep. It's when cars (and other items) turn into robots, right?
Or is it just their hands doing that?

Weird... when they speak about it publicly and / or to their employees they don't spare any crappy bullsh1t buzzword bingo their assistants have found in the internet putting it all together in the speech.

This new model will make extensions easier to write and more reliable along with additional benefits such as being able to install these extensions without restarting the IDE. Is it just me, or do they change the extensibility model more often than they update icons?

With Arm64EC you can mix Arm and x64 code in the same process, allowing you to port existing x64 apps to Arm in an incremental way. You now have the right to code ARM64

Designs will be useful for incorporating emoji into apps, art projects, and more. You're getting icons, and you're getting icons!
Sure emoji!=icon, but they're pretty close.
And at last, people can do those unsmiling soldier emojis they've always wanted to do.

.NET Framework 4.8.1 includes native support for the Arm64 architecture (Windows 11+) and accessibility improvements as well as other improvements. We've got to go forward to save the past

Interesting. So now I can go back to writing C# for the rPI with .NET 4.8.1 instead of using the framework formerly known as "Core"? Umm, I don't think so, even if it were possible. The Windows world gets more confusing. I guess they did this though for people running Windows on Apple since Apple ditched Intel? Who knows, lol.
