We see JavaScript as a language closely integrated with the DOM, and as a relatively lightweight server-side language, but you can flip this around and think of it as en entirely embedded language: after all, it’s embedded within web pages – it’s bridged to native data structures and functionalities that are required by the runtime. Now you have two problems

AdDuplex has spotted what it believes could be a pair of new Surface tablets accessing its Windows ad network. The advertising network says it "regularly" sees devices named "Microsoft Corporation Surface 2" and "Microsoft Corporation Surface with Windows 8.1 Pro" viewing its ads. The former device is thought to be running Windows RT, just like the current-generation Surface for Windows RT, but it looks like Microsoft might be ready to drop the "RT" name from the device. That should definitely help prevent the confusion /sarcasm

After running Go for two years in production at Iron.io, I wanted to share our experience/feelings about it. We were one of the first companies to use Go (golang) in production and we didn't know what to expect in the long run, but so far, so great. Collect $200 as you pass

Web Components promise to open up a new realm of development by letting web developers write custom, reusable HTML tags. Think of them as JavaScript plugins without the need for additional code initialization or boilerplate markup/styling. Something must be broken: they work in IE

The Mac could become a victim of Apple's own success, according to one analyst, who points to the company's superior design aesthetic, along with the popularity of the iPhone and iPad, as reasons for stagnation in Mac sales growth. Only so many people want those shiny, shiny boxes

We’ve hit an important milestone for Windows and for Microsoft—just 10 months after delivering on a bold, generational change in computing with Windows 8, our team is proud to share that we have started releasing Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1 to our hardware partners. You still have to wait until Oct 18 to get it though

The recent trend in software development has been to produce less documentation and writing material. Many developers have interpreted the Agile Manifesto preference of “working software over comprehensive documentation” as the authorization to stop producing any document during a project. This has been translated in sentences like “the code is the documentation” or “the requirements are in the application”. "The code is the documentation"? Yeah, not so much.

Nonsense. The Agile Manifesto doesn't imply cutting corners. It speaks to (completely) implementing just what is necessary - i.e. several small meals instead of one eventual pig-out. But you should still use a fork and knife and observe table manners.

Right. I think that's the original author's message. People have tried to read too much into the Agile Manifesto's suggestion, or rather have taken the suggestion too far.

Yes, but...
Code is never out of date.
Always question documentation.

On the other hand,
- Reading code you see what the code does.
- Reading documentation you see what the code was supposed to do.

First of all, this isn't recent. It started when software development came under the purview of hobbyists, and frankly, there it has remained ever since. Prior to the home computer "revolution", code was the last thing that was written. Specs, testing, etc., were all written before hand, and documentation was maintained during the process. I've worked on enough of these well-funded projects to have experienced the difference. Take for example the code that was written for the moon landing missions or the space shuttle. Every line commented, tested, etc.
Agile is merely a knee-jerk reaction to a bad situation, brought on not just by degree'd garage shack programmers but also by companies that cut costs by forcing ridiculous development schedules, little up front design time, and very little testing / documentation support. I've worked for a billion dollar aerospace firm, and the short-sighted management refused to let the engineers spend the necessary time to meet and flesh out the design of the wirelist generation software up front, something that would have saved the company millions every year and greatly reduced wiring errors.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?
