Deedle is a .NET library for interactive data analysis and exploration. Deedle works great with both C# and F#. It provides two main data structures: series for working with data and time series and frame for working with collections of series (think CSV files, data tables etc.) For your data deedling needs

With 4,000 new APIs, iOS 8 is the biggest launch for Apple developers in six years. Not counting Swift (Metal might have potential)

TypeScript, ASP.NET MVC Scaffold templates, Windows Composition Engine, VB6, and more. What more could you want. A little something for you to read in the ... library

Say what you want but I read somewhere that back in 2000 huge percentage of LOB apps (and developers) were using VB6. People start exploring other options and jumped to Java bandwagon when MS dropped VB6 support from their .NET family. Adding VB6 support back in, is a very nice touch... Only it's 15 years too late - eternity in IT years...

Every team has someone who at the bottom of its bell curve: an individual who has a hard time keeping up with other team members. By my observation, how your team members treat that person is a significant indicator of your organization’s health. Another reason why you should all be nice to me

If you eliminate the "fat tail developer" it just tightens the bell curve.

Agreed - you need to keep one goat around.

Wow, you mean that half of the team might be below average? (... for some definition of "average" and "half.")

You really should have tagged Chris here. Maybe you can post it in bugs and suggestions.

Most interesting feature: Finally being able to use your Mac like a speakerphone. It's 'better together' within these garden walls

Apple today announced a new programming language called Swift at WWDC today, which will replace Objective C as the language developers use for building iOS apps. Every one else had two languages, it was their turn

Cool stuff. Definitely step in the right direction (away from Objective-C). Just why in the world would anyone develop yet another language? What's wrong with Java, Javascript, C#, VB, Python, TypeScript, CoffeeScript or gazillion of other languages other that it's not something they did? The next step would be to copyright it and then sue anyone who would even think about porting it to another platform.

There's no end to the number of new languages being created!

It's not a technical decision; merely marketing.

The programming language Objective-C was originally developed in the early 1980s. (wikipedia)
Interesting. It's had a long life.
But we wondered what we could do without the baggage of C.” Amusing, after that post on how great C is.

Interesting: looks like an ML variant with C-like syntax: static type system with type inference, variables are const by default, options (I hope that means no nulls), closures.
Mandatory garbage collector, though . I still like Rust[^] better.

May was the seventh full month of availability for Microsoft’s latest operating system version: Windows 8.1 continues to grow slowly while Windows 8 remains largely flat, allowing the former to finally pass the latter in market share. At the same time, Windows 7 has managed to climb back over the 50 percent mark, while Windows XP still has more than 25 percent of the pie, despite support for the ancient OS finally ending in April. In related news: Vista still has almost twice as much market share as Linux
