I'm know a guy who knows a guy who can get you an invite to the next, ahem, sampling.

(Devs / World population) * 100 = Percent of world population who are devs
(23,000,000 / 7,138,000,000) * 100 = 0.322% or 1 in every 322 people in the world
23M does seem a bit steep...

And consider, as Chris pointed out, that was "a sampling."
Well, considering that the population of India is 1.3 billion, yeah, I can see that it's a sampling of "devs".

This is a targeted update, addressing some key areas of customer feedback since the Visual Studio 2013 release. Latest and greatest? Meet more of the above

There's a Visual Studio 2013?

T'yeah, it's what we used to use before Visual Studio 2013 Update 1 came out! Keep up!
Well fads they come and fads they go.
And God I love that rock and roll!
Well the point was fast but it was too blunt to miss.
Life handed us a paycheck, we said, "We worked harder than this!"

But but but I just started using 2012 last year, it's got hardly a scratch.

Well, you need 2013 to develop Windows Store app for Windows 8.1 (me think)
Other than that VS2013 has better TypeScript support!
That's what is relevant to me and make it needed!

Irrelephant to me. At work we use 2012 for its improved SSIS tools (SSDT). I use 2010 at home (when I use VS at all).

For the first time "password" has been knocked off the number one slot of the list of worst passwords. This doesn’t mean people are getting more security minded, however, as it's been replaced by the equally obvious "123456". Special hint: 123457 is really secure!

OMG, 'sunshine' is #19. I think somebody hacked the CodeProject password database.

I wonder where they are getting these lists of passwords from to do this analysis?
Don't comment your code - it was hard to write, it should be hard to read!

From the fine article:
Quote: SplashData compiles the list from files containing stolen passwords posted online during the previous year.

 Maybe that'll teach me to not read the article thoroughly

 No worries. It's like that bug that you can't see, but someone across the room can point out in your code. Our brains skip stuff.

Don't be misled by tech industry figures deleting all their unread emails: at best it's a temporary solution to "email overload". The real answer is to change the way you process email. Triage, process, remove. Happiness.

You missed "Ignore". When it comes to email, ignorance is bliss...

Pleasurable, but they'll still be there. Waiting for you. Still unpleasant. Like the vapours left in the elevator after lunch.

Quote: Google has added a filtering system to Gmail that automatically sorts email under different tabs. As well as the Primary inbox, you can select Social, Promotions, Updates, and Forums. These should help people who can't be bothered to set up their own filters, though I have not found them accurate enough to be useful. The settings are under Settings and then Inbox.
The only one I'm currently using is promotions which had an initial ~90% alignment with my existing marketing label; after about 2 weeks of dragging messages that it put in the wrong spot around and clicking always-do-this I was able to delete 9(?) label rules that were previously being used to filter that clutter away for mass mark-read's when I'm not looking to buy any bits of tech gear. I haven't used any of the others because they don't line up well with my existing filter categories, and between them they have my inbox reasonably well controlled.
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?

We announce stuff all the time, but it's hard to keep up with what's important, what you need to know, and stuff you should start paying attention to because it's going to be a big deal really soon. So here's my quick summary of the important things that happened in 2013 and what I think it suggests we watch for in 2014. A few <%%>, a couple of <%@ %>, and more

The war for programming talent is full bore. Here's how to hire the best coders when competing with the big boys. Bonus #8: Able to win at musical chairs is not a good selection criterion

#9 - Bonus...
It's funny how Dan Tynan does not count the issue of payment as a important factor of hiring...
I saw a lot of places where asked for the stars from haven, but only willing to pay peanuts...
