Google open sources its Cardboard VR platformNah! Open sourcing it is so that people start relying on it. Only when there's a critical mass of dependent projects based around it will they cancel the thing! As yet, there's not enough people using this to make it worth the effort to cancel.

Are fracking kidding me? JavaScript? Really?
Console yourself it isn't Java AWT. Fortunately that's "too old" for the managers to remember it. Else it would have been a definite toe in the door in that meeting.

No! Because Linux needs yet another skin over Chromium!

Man Catches Job Interviewee Cheating During Skype InterviewActually, I've a different take on this whole discussion about search engine impaired-ness. Such code challenge stuff during an interview is nearly always an indication of absolute clueless-ness of the interviewer. Though it tends to mean they've got some search engine skills and probably got those questions from exactly the same spot you're now finding in your search. I.e. it's a situation of: "This guy's coding much to close to the answer we found online. He must be cheating."

Microsoft gives up: beat by lone devAlso stuff such as the good old NCurses ... but for DotNet: [GitHub - MV10/dotnet-curses: Portable cross-platform .NET Standard wrapper for the Unix ncurses library](https://github.com/MV10/dotnet-curses)

Calling people ‘users’ is unethical and outdatedYeah, but now it needs to be R-rated! At least it's less anti-PC than my first idea: Despot -> Minion.

Calling people ‘users’ is unethical and outdatedIt's on a PC ... right? You gotta have them social correct PC's! None of your gradfather's PC's. They didn't know what they were doing wrong. You should always have only peer-to-peer without any governing control! All PC's must be equal, only some of tem needs to be more equal than others.

Command prompt idea...aye or nay?Definitely! And it's even more than just that double tab idea: [https://www.thegeekstuff.com/2013/12/bash-completion-complete/\](https://www.thegeekstuff.com/2013/12/bash-completion-complete/) Though I think tying onto the manpage as an NCurses "pop-up-window" may even be surpassing this. Unfortunately I don't know how to get that working. Would likely need to have some specialized terminal client. Haven't used this before, but from the feature set it seems to come close: [fish shell](https://fishshell.com/)

People around the world report increased civility online, new Microsoft research showsI've actually heard a "tinfoil-hat" idea about this: "It's a ploy by Microsoft to make their next Tay not go completely racist within seconds." Another alternative was that Tay was turned off a few years ago, and Zo is very strictly told "not to use those words"! So all they're measuring is their own chatbots causing less offensive language than before.

Documentation boggle of the dayMethinks they might have been physicists writing the documentation. They must've been struggling with the relativity / causality issues and trying to come to grips with the implications. I.e. in their mind effect may in fact precede cause. Thus the command may follow the result, which may all have happened weeks before the request!
