Following the release of Linux kernel 4.16, Linus Torvalds has said that the next kernel will be version 5.0. Or maybe it won't, because version numbers are meaningless. Mission accomplished?

In this blog post, I’ll show how to port business logic from WPF and build a phone- and tablet-friendly mobile app for Android, iOS, and UWP. Existing C# code can often be re-used with minimal changes, and the user interfaces can be built using Xamarin.Forms XAML to run across platforms. You know, for all those Windows phones users
OK, it's cross-platform, but I needed to rub some salt in WP wounds

The owners of the 32nd refused to share their source? 
The 33rd is so broken it won't even start. 
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?

In this day and age, there are a seemingly infinite number of things that are pulling your attention to various places. With the invention of the computer and the internet, people are always trying to take your focus through texting, calling, social media, forums, and email. Is that what they're calling cubicles now?

The article rather assumes some degree of control over your workplace. If you're not working at home, there's nothing here that you can apply in the noisy, open-plan, anti-development environment that you probably find yourself working in.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

I managed to get moved to the lab, where the other half of my team (aka my colleague/senior) got moved some years ago.
It would be nice, except that the whole f************** office steps by at least two dozen times a day to waste my coworker time, improvising meetings in the lab while we have a conference room to be used by royal decree for such occurrences.
The average noise decreased but the intensity and frequence of concentration breaking noise increased. Someday I will end in the newspapers.

Xamarin (and before that, Mono) allowed .NET code to run on multiple platforms for years. These days, there’s a new push in cross-platform with .NET Core and .NET Standard. This post looks at the history of code sharing in .NET and where cross-platform .NET is going with Core and Standard. "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it."

One of my favorite science fiction novels is Roadmarks[^] by Roger Zelazny. It features two books as speaking characters: Leaves of Grass[^], a collection of poetry by Walt Whitman, and Les Fleurs du mal (Flowers of Evil)[^], a volume of French poetry by Charles Baudelaire. Both books are the physical embodiment of an artificial intelligence.

Researchers have successfully trained artificial intelligence to generate new clips of the prehistoric animated series based on nothing but random text descriptions of what’s happening in a scene. "Yabba dabba doo!"

Transporting yourself into a video game, body and all, just got easier. Artificial intelligence has been used to create 3D models of people’s bodies for virtual reality avatars, surveillance, visualizing fashion, or movies. I'm sure a certain film industry will never use this inappropriately
