Prime numbers are endlessly fascinating to computing and math fans, and there's an infinite supply of them. A Microsoft contest succeeds in fleshing out the list of primes that aren't actually the largest. 7: there, send me my money!

I don't find prime numbers fascinating, but I really like working with Sieves to find more of them.

How high do you have to count before they give you one of the Surface RT tablets sitting in the warehouse?

Higher than 29, but I'll keep emailing them in. It can't be too high, they've got a few to spare.

In a breakthrough seven years in the making, an international team of scientists have reconstructed a synthetic and fully functional yeast chromosome. It's a remarkable advance that could eventually lead to custom-built organisms — humans included. "They all told me I was mad! Mad! But I'll show them! I'll show them all!"

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

The system is neither new, nor sketchy. It’s been in place for years, and it’s about as unsketchy as an anti-copyright infringement system can get. It allows Dropbox to block pre-selected files from being shared from person-to-person (thus keeping Dropbox from getting raided by the Feds), without their anti-infringement system having any idea what most of your files actually are. Not the place to store your hash

Consistent with our previously announced commitment to match Amazon on prices for commodity services, we are cutting prices on compute by up to 35% and storage by up to 65%. We recognize that economics are a primary driver for some customers adopting cloud, and stand by our commitment to match prices and be best-in-class on price performance. Microsoft joins in the race to 0

CodeMaid is a Visual Studio add-on that cleans up your code, allows you to rearrange it for better navigation, and, ultimately, makes you more productive. My code is clean enough to be healthy, and messy enough to be happy

Few would dispute that we always need to improve the way we build software as suggested in the Manifesto. However, I must admit that when I first read the first four beliefs that these great individuals wrote down, I had my doubts. Time for Agile's Bar Mitzvah. Mazeltov! (I'll get it a pen set)

Duktape is an embeddable Javascript engine, with a focus on portability and compact footprint. Go on: bolt a JavaScript engine to your C++ app. What's the worst that could happen?

I dunno, people may actually use it.
It's bad enough that JS is the standard in the browser!

QML?
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?
--Zachris Topelius
Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

QML ain't that bad, as long as you keep any business logic away from it. QML is GUI development, and it shall stick with the GUI.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Again, desktop developers aren't too welcome anymore...
|
|
|
|
|
C'mon it's not that they are not welcome. It's that there is limited time and there is so much to showcase regarding mobile and the cloud.
And the sign out front that says, "Desktop developers not welcome," well, just ignore that.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I know, it was meant more like an ironical annotation. The time is limited, of course, but the lack of sessions about desktop development is just too obvious. At least there is a panel discussion on the agenda (session 2-563) and I hope there'll be some folks asking the right questions and Microsoft finally starts plain talking how the desktop fits in their future plans, especially when it comes to Win32 an WPF which are kind of dead in the water for two years. It's well about time.
