Can you. I thought he was criticising Bush there. You kids know nothing!
A good reason to use Iraq's WMD as an example is because it was many years ago, so long ago that nobody will come up with the tired tropes they do today to deflect from their favourite president. So today, you say "Trump did bad" others will jump up and reply "but Obama did badder", and vice-versa.
with WMD it is now "history" and thus a little past the tribal politics, we can use it to highlight the problem with fake news quite well as it not only stands up as a prime example, but is self-contained and not nearly as mixed up in current politicking.
"London Underground undertook a similar pilot in November and December 2015, which showed 30 percent more customers could use an escalator in the busiest parts of the day if they stood on both sides."
I doubt they have bought githubto save on the enterprise plans they were using.
That $7.5bn will be to integrate LinkedIn so they can get even more jobs and code data, link your accounts and then they can sell advertising to you (or recruitment agents) to hassle you constantly to get a new job.
I have no doubt github will continue to work as before, but I imagine it'll get tarnished round the edges with commercialised services.
the only good thing would be if VSTS get chucked in favour of a github-based connection instead!
Breitbart has my support because everything the run (which may be as biased as the MSM, only in the opposite direction) comes with links and references.
when they do make a mistake, no matter how slight, the opposition such as the Guardian jumps all over them. I recall they ran one about some trouble outside a cathedral. "OMG" shouted the Graun, "fake news!!!!". Turned out the cathedral was a church, so you can see how much they've tried to find fault.
There's also the Russian naval base there - Russia's only one on the Mediterranean coast, and I think that has a lot to do with Russia's involvement there, and possibly everyone else's involvement using any excuse to get their fingers in the pie.
Yup, I remember Ars Technica - when it stopped reporting gadgets and tech and started running lots of political articles.... I stopped reading it. I think many others did too, after a fair amount of complaining in the comments.
The trouble is, there were too many people shouting abuse at each other in the comments section that I support it made short-term financial sense for them, to do this. Gotta love that clickbait ad revenue!
I mean, its basically saying "you get a free speed upgrade if you subscribe to our other services", or you can just buy more speed anyway.
Maybe Comcast should do it the way everyone else does it - bundle your cable and TV service together and we'll give you 10% off the combined bill. Here, Comcast is not reducing the money, but increasing the perks.
and that#'s perhaps what the problem is - it stopped being a little company running a Q&A site and started to become a silicon valley activist SJW hobby for people with stupid job titles such as "executive vice president of culture and experience "
A lot of that is, I think, Indian devs turning up to game the points system - posting answers that are either exact duplicates of an answer previously given, or some direct cut and paste from a blog referenced by another answer.
I can only assume its to get more reputation for ego purposes.
It is a reasonably well coded platform - but if you read Chriss Brumme's old blog, you'll see all the warts that he wishes they'd done better. But I guess hindsight is an easy thing to apply, even to your own code. (Brumme was one of the guys who wrote.NET, his blogs are freaking awesome)
You might not noticed a perf hit from using strings, but that was never my attitude - I prefer the best system, in a "look after the pennies" approach. If it ever needs to scale up (which IMHO is more often than you think) then you're screwed because you assumed that "string keys would be fine, we'll never need to scale where they'd be noticeable"
My biggest issue is that there's no real benefit to string - I mean the Asp.net identity code that uses them by default stores guids in them anyway (ie why not just use a guid, at least its a 128 bit number) or use an int like everything else in the asp.net EF framework.
I'm quite old, been doing this for a while. I rem,ember when you would never ever use a string for comparisons if you had the option of an enum (or int) because computers back in the day were not as powerful and fast as they are today, so the perf hit would be noticeable very quickly. That means the perf hit is still there, but those super-fast CPUs (and RAM buses) are doing a lot of unnecessary work, just so you can use a string when an int would be quite acceptable even for the lazy programmer.
Incidentalyl, easier to maintain code means stored procs. turn your query code into black box APIs, much easier to maintain then than hard-coding queries into code.
sure, but most car thieves and fleeing criminals/terrorists won't choose a "classic" vehicle for their getaway. I think the authorities will let those edge cases go.
Or kids who can't hack the main stuff, suddenly discover the cool new, and then they can pretend they're "learning" it, and when the going gets tough (as it always does) they can declare the tech to be pants and move to another.
hence we had so many people on the bandwagon for functional programming, then dumped it for ruby on rails, then dumped that for Node.js, not sure what they're on at currently, probably back to asp.net.
I do understand it, and I know they are bloated and slow. the real main point of them is so everyone can pretend their DB access looks like their middle-tier programming language.
I use Dapper these days, though I still use EF as its easy (yup, I'm lazy too), Dapper gives the benefits of ORM ease-of-use plus speed of native SQL. And, when it comes to some complex queries, actually works, unlike EF Core (which is what took me to dapper in the first place an outer join EF query with multiple where clauses simply broke EF core)
That's not strictly true, you don't need to go down that low to be good at what you do, but you do still need to understand what it is doing, and why.
If you don't, you end up with stupidity like the ASP.NET programmers who built their identity system to use strings as primary DB keys, or the.NET programmers who created an array class and called it List (yes, Lists in.NET are arrays under the hood, with array-style performance).
this kind of nonsense makes it next to impossible to get things done properly, how many systems are built with entity framework gobbling up masses of CPU and DB time because the coders didn't want to use SQL when they could write C# code for everything (I'm still surprised they don't have a C# engine to create client side javascript!)
I think the problem has been the "crack it out quick" attitude to programming where everything is thrown away after a few years for the new cool tech. As a result, everybody ends up reinventing everything over and over and nobody gets good at it. Net result: programming becomes a low-skill job plugging blocks of code together from tutorials and examples, and its no wonder bosses now consider programmers to be low skill workers deserving of lower pay. All the best guys have gone and become architects instead.
oh, good attempt there mate. Fake news site - the one with links and quotes and references to all the people in Westminster, you claim is fake news. Trouble is you have to do an April Fools joke before midday or it doesn't count, sorry.
If you've been following the UK media (no, not the mainstream one, who tries to hide all this) then you'll start by thinking its true. By the middle you think "surely not", and by the end "it must be a fool".
Trouble is, you could take any of the recent revelations as fool jokes if they'd been announced today.
the rest of the cast doesn't matter - the only one who does is Peter Jones, the book itself. Unfortunately he died in 2000 but was taken over by William Franklin who sounds just like him.
When I play Startopia, it's always a fuzzy feeling because of the voice over, done by Franklin.
Unfortunately he died in 2006 so they've got Hawking to be the book, but he doesn't sound anything like rural Shropshire.

Here's my take on it:
1. Outsourced Indian consultancy hired.
2. Turns out they're useless
3. Gets stopped after damage is done.
Exactly the same thing happened to businesses all across the world seeking ever cheaper work.

quite so - the article is written badly.
I mean, its basically saying "you get a free speed upgrade if you subscribe to our other services", or you can just buy more speed anyway.
Maybe Comcast should do it the way everyone else does it - bundle your cable and TV service together and we'll give you 10% off the combined bill. Here, Comcast is not reducing the money, but increasing the perks.
out here in the real world a list can mean: an array, or a linked list, or an immutable representation of some data.
Its pathetic. That's why we have "academic jargon", so one term means the same thing all the time. We have enough chaos without introducing more.
And the users themselves are pretty much against this:

you mean you don't isolate your DB in its own layer via stored procedures and access them like parameterised APIs?
Yeah, who'd want hard-coded queries written in terms of entities when you can simply call a strongly typed API.
It is a reasonably well coded platform - but if you read Chriss Brumme's old blog, you'll see all the warts that he wishes they'd done better. But I guess hindsight is an easy thing to apply, even to your own code. (Brumme was one of the guys who wrote .NET, his blogs are freaking awesome)

because an array is not a list.
I'm a computer scientist BTW, these terms mean different things.
sure, but most car thieves and fleeing criminals/terrorists won't choose a "classic" vehicle for their getaway. I think the authorities will let those edge cases go.
amen to that.
Or kids who can't hack the main stuff, suddenly discover the cool new, and then they can pretend they're "learning" it, and when the going gets tough (as it always does) they can declare the tech to be pants and move to another.
