Wow, he's really aged in the last few years.
He is working on a personal agent which will remember everything and help you go back and find things and help you pick what things to pay attention to.
Well, I guess he'll be putting it to good use. Maybe it'll be called "Little Alzhei Helper 1.0" ?

This is the first design meeting for the version of C# coming after C# 6. We shall colloquially refer to it as C# 7. The meeting focused on setting the stage for the design process and homing in on major themes and features. That is transparency in action
"Anyone can put a feature idea up as an issue on GitHub. We'll keep an eye on those, and use them as input to language design."

Amazon WorkMail falls under the Amazon Web Services umbrella, suggesting more of a back-end approach into the collaboration software space. Now have they run out of things to sell?

Ask any programmer and they’ll be able to tell you what time of the day (or night) they’re most productive. As tech employers grow more and more tolerant to alternative work routines, studies are showing that ‘night owl’ developers are often like nocturnal predators. "Good morning sunshine"

I suspect that it reflects the amount of employment and life history. Night-owling is for the kids.
As a student, I was most productive at night -- because I was in school or working during the day, and the evenings were for homework, including programming. After years of that, the habit can persist even though you may get a day job doing programming. But as you work more years you may find that you accomplish more during the day. And, if you're married with kids, the evenings may be totally "unproductive".
On the other hand, the work day may get interrupted by meetings and such.
I still use occasional evenings for personal/hobby projects, but not for work.

4 am to 8 am is my best time. I can work double then. Anything later is very unproductive due to meetings and thinking about needing to head home and take care of the family.
Of course, 4 - 8 am isn't sustainable for more than a few days at a time.

It feels good to be labelled a kid

Night time and schedules do not mix.

I suspect that research was done by early-risers.
Also, they didn't mention anything about productivity.
To paraphrase, they said "morning people happy and healthy while night people are psychopaths" or something like that.

Seems almost right, although I'd phrase it, "Morning people are psychopaths, night people are psychopaths." 
Mid-morning->early afternoon people unite!

They also admitted that the reason us night owls are biting their heads off is that the $)(#@!*$ early birds are dragging us out of bed before we can get enough sleep.
Given the choice I'd like to work 11-7 or noon-8.

All I can say is that JaxEnter have managed to take a piece of research and horribly generalise it to areas the study itself didn't study.
1. The study only dealt with young adults.
2. The study had f-all to do with programmers, or productivity.
Its the developer's blog equivalent of a Daily Mail headline.

With a useful build of OneGet making an appearance in the Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926+) I thought it was a good time to stop and catch y'all up on what the heck is goin' on. apt-get search Where'd-they-get-that-idea?

OneGet uses camelCase not snake-case.
They're completely different

The slow death of Adobe Flash has been hastened — YouTube, which used the platform as the standard way to play its videos, has dumped Flash in favor of HTML5 for its default web player. So my sole reason for installing Flash is now Kongregate

That's blindingly good news. I can finally uninstall Flash without my son sulking for ever.

I recently flipped the click to play switch on Flash again; but the number of sites that default to or only (I've got better things to do than poke around looking for a setting that probably requires me to create an account to store) offer flash video is high enough that after 1 day I'm already leaning towards toggling it back to automatic loading. 
Unless most of the random sites hosting video world follows Google's lead and defaults to serving desktop browsers HTML5, I don't think we're going to be able to escape it anytime soon unless Mozilla's html5 powered flash player[^] is a success. It's been around for a while without getting done enough to be useful; but in relation to the war on NSAPI plugins I recently saw them setting targets for later this year about being able to replace flash for all the major video players on the market.
