No, it's full VS (on Windows), deploy to Linux.
It AIN'T natural! Kill it with fire!

With the same debugger as windows version? Or is that too much to hope for?

"Specifically, we need openssh-server, g++, gdb and gdbserver."
So, no, we are stuck with the crap that is gdb.

Ah. Right. I had tried to think of a rationale and failed, but that makes perfect sense now. Thank you.

A new developer option available in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update just made background activity a whole lot easier. "Get back, back to where you once belonged"

A species of tropical fish has been shown to be able to distinguish between human faces. It is the first time fish have demonstrated this ability. Something to think about next time you have sushi

Oh! So that's why. 
The trout are all like, "Here comes Ron. His snacks are prickly. Don't bite it".

They can recognize more than only faces when it comes to their kin. Don't you remember:
"Look, Henry is being eaten!"

«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

As part of the ongoing transition to the module system, CORBA and other Java EE modules won't be included in the default classpath from Java 9 onwards. Now how is it going to revolutionize programming?

It used to be that if you needed to create a recording of a program on the PC, you had to get Expressions Encoder or some other capture program. But the feature is now built into Windows 10, assuming you're willing to do some pretending. Well, if this doesn't get you to upgrade to Windows 10...

The question is how good is it? Is sound synced correctly? What's the frame rate like? It's actually very hard to do video capture without dropping frames.

It was originally built for XBox game sharing, so I'm assuming it's got to be fairly good for software-only. Of course, I know what happens when I assume[^].

Microsoft GigJam is a new way to work with your documents and SaaS information. It allows you to quickly share only what you want from any source, on any device, safe and securely. Now everyone can jam their gig (but try not to bruise it)

A team of researchers thinks it may have solved an impending problem with silicon-based computer chips: replace the transistors with vacuum tubes. The sound, man. It's just so much richer with tubes...

Yeah, they're vacuum transistors, not vacuum tubes

That's the point -- the article Kent referenced wasn't talking about vacuum tubes either.

Once AI really hits it off and computers become as smart as us humans they'll be trading their silicon chips for potato chips. They support a FAT file system and enough salt for a gazillion passwords

In this article Patrick S. Li, the designer and implementer of L.B. Stanza, suggests that the greatest productivity gains are the result of having a wide spectrum of libraries. The purpose of a general-purpose programming language is to enable the creation of powerful and easy-to-use libraries. The more powerful the language, the easier the libraries are to use. #include "rest_of_program.h"
