The "too slow" is a relative assert: someone states "too slow" when he/she wants to beat the concurrency, even paying a lot more after in terms of not-standardization.
There were tons of examples in the past where the ability to push a product than another leaded to a mediocre/obsolete product...I'd call it as "speculation", not good practice.
Pardon my words, but I'm working for a very small lab where the quality is very important and there's no rooms for speculation: either we perform a good product, or we'll die.
Thank you for your answer.

I agree with you about pushing-to-hard (speculations you called it?) but in the case of W3C it took 15 years to update HTML - I think it is still too slow...
In the case of Microsoft - I'm talking about HTML5 features that ARE recommended, but still not getting Microsoft's attention...

I totally agree.

And as a pointed out somewhere else a few days ago; about 2 years ago Google and Mozilla both realized that prefixed feature implementations were creating a cluster-elephant across the web and stopped doing so for new development. Instead anything new is hidden behind a setting flag that must be explicitly turned on by the user.
HTML5Test isn't loading right for me ATM; but IIRC it does call out the handful of cases where FF/Chome/Etc are still relying on prefixes for something they launched experimentally years ago and never standardized; but that's a small fraction of what IE is getting crushed on.

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?

It finally started loading correctly for me again. It took the highest scoring Edge build I saw in the search tab and compared[^] it with Chrome 39. Chrome is a net 99 points ahead. Of those a net 81 came from categories that weren't marked with prefixes; meaning Chrome has a fully standard compliant implementation but Edge doesn't. The full total is likely a bit worse, since in the categories where there were a few prefixes Chrome generally also lead on non-prefix items. But not knowing what the scoring breakout was I didn't count any of that toward the 81. I did the same with FF35: FF has a net edge of 47 points, net 32 for non-prefixed implementations. This comparison was more interesting because there were more cases where Edge either had more points, a different subset implemented, or in two cases had a standard compliant implementation for something FF only had as a prefix.

Do you feel more stressed at work? If your job is in IT then the answer is probably yes, according to a new survey from security and email specialist GFI Software. It's so bad, Bob has pulled all his hair out

Google now gets more search queries from mobile devices than it does from PCs. Of course, most of the searches were, "Where is my phone?"

This marks the first version that contains open source code from Microsoft’s CoreCLR project. It also defaults to C# 6, meaning that once again Mono has an RTM version of a new C# compiler before Microsoft. Now that they're ahead, will Microsoft start copying them?

We may finally have an answer to a question that's bugged us since Microsoft first announced Windows 10: What the heck happened to Windows 9? Someone get their coat
|
|
|
|
|
I thought we'd already answered that one last year?
Microsoft dev here, the internal rumours are that early testing revealed just how many third party products that had code of the form
if(version.StartsWith("Windows 9"))
{
} else {
and that this was the pragmatic solution to avoid that.

How fans of open source will greet Microsoft's move is a question mark. How to work that into the 'Microsoft is evil incarnate' story?

The usual way. By creating hundreds of forks and custom versions each screaming that it's better than the others.

Quote: Microsoft is using the OSI-approved MIT license for the .Net core components released to date, which is compatible with licenses that apply to key Mono components, Weinberg observed. It seems reasonable that a merged Mono/.Net project would take the best-in-class elements of both.
That, however, doesn't seem to be the case.
The Microsoft version of open source .Net Core is separate from Mono's, IDC Program Director Al Hilwa told LinuxInsider.
Microsoft apparently will go ahead with its own work.
Although the Mono community "appears to welcome the [open source] announcement by Microsoft," said Black Duck's Weinberg, "I don't imagine they will simply stop development or immediately move to coalesce their project with the new Microsoft release."
Even if they're apparently not doing so in the short term, over the long haul it would make sense for Mono to deprecate their own base class libraries and concentrate on stuff farther up the runtime stack that MS hasn't opensourced, and are unlikely to do so in the future.

I break out in hives around 32. I can't see how people can make it all the way to 40.

"nine to five" implies a 35 hour work week (assuming you are going to have a lunch break)

In this post, we are sharing a list of legacy IE technologies and features that are not part of Microsoft Edge. Spring cleaning: Browser edition

The iPhone could become a new tool in genetic studies. Then they can breed an army of customers (that are born with credit cards already in hand)

I believe they should start looking at making the iPhone vibrate at a frequency that would be in tune with the users spending habits. They could make the thing vibrate in such a way as to urge the buyer to buy their newest gadget.
The NSA could also use it to have criminals turn themselves in or have them congregate in a collection area.
Wouldn't that just be grand?

Microsoft’s new Edge browser is one of the most exciting features coming in Windows 10, representing a break with the past and the company’s determination to move forward. However, despite what many were expecting, Microsoft has no plans to open source Edge. "Some mysteries are better left unsolved."
|
|
|
|
|
Sure! You may reveal that way in no time that Edge is only a makeup for IE11!!!
