«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

Microsoft today announced that Security update information will be published as bulletins and on the Security Updates Guide until January 2017. But after the January 2017 Update Tuesday release, they will publish update information only on the Security Updates Guide. Except for the ones Google reports first

Facebook might muscle-in on LinkedIn’s recruiting business with ways for business Pages to promote job listings. As a bonus, you get to see the recruiter's pet photos
I'm actually surprised it took them this long

LinkedIn already seems to have parked some tanks on FaceBook's "annoying meme to harvest likes" lawn.

According to 80 percent of web developers, desktop applications are absolutely essential, and 93 percent say web technologies are critical to their strategy for desktop and mobile. In related news: duh.

"The government fundamentally disagrees with the European Commission's analysis and the decision left no choice but to take an appeal to the European Courts and this will be submitted tomorrow" A government that doesn't want tax money? I think they might need to install a heater "down there"

ECMAScript insiders say the new features present complicated problems but are optimistic about their inclusion in future versions of JavaScript Types? Oh, that's just crazy talk.

One of the overall concepts behind WPF was to make its development similar to web development and in that regard it has been quite successful.
I definitely got a chuckle out of that one. Yup. Very similar to web development. Complicated, quirky, hideous syntax...

And don't forget: design over content/functionality. With some beautiful animations, no one will ask about function...

Recently I've had the "pleasure" of working with several Java apps. Of them, only CLion works well. The rest are slow as mud, unstable and all around awful. So, no thanks.

Microsoft is working on a new to-do style app that is currently called Project Cheshire. Because they needed something to compete with the to-do list they bought?

A browser extension which was found to be harvesting users' browsing histories and selling them to third parties has had its availability pulled from a number of web browsers' add-on repositories. "And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?"

“People will have time to do other things, more complex things, more interesting things,” he told CNBC. “Certainly more leisure time. And then we gotta figure how we integrate with a world and future with a vast AI.” Including CEO?
I think he needs to stop reading Iain M. Banks. Or at least treating those books as forecasts.
