Half of the world's estimated online population now check in to the social networking giant Facebook at least once a month. "Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right"
Sorry, that news item made me think of straight razors

That is quite surprising! I thought I'm in the very minority of those who don't use facebook. But 50% of online population is quite a lot

With the release of Windows 10 we also shipped Visual Studio Tools for Windows 10. As you will have heard Universal Windows apps written in .NET (either C# or VB) will be compiled to native machine code before being deployed to customer devices using .NET Native. Whatever happened to JIT?

Wait what, only because Windows 10 wasn't getting a buck, means no one should? Well played Microsoft, well played!

With security at the heart of Microsoft's latest operating system, and the general concern about online safety, it makes sense to put Microsoft Edge under the microscope to see how it fares against the competition. "The more things change, the more they stay the same"

It even run on the same engine. It would have been a lot better to just remove that piece of junk from Windows, and provide us with an option to select Chrome, Firefox, Opera or other browser while installation process.

They could also just have said: No Flash support on windows 10.
Then finally Flash would die

Edge is still controlled by Internet Explorer, and recently Microsoft released an update for Flash in Internet Explorer 11. You may also be interested in this[^].

Absolutely, when you read the text of the article it turns out they've now get better security than Firefox, and drawn to parity with Chrome, which is actually a big improvement.

Holy FUD batman. 
If there is anything in that steaming pile of fail that's meaningful, it'd be the use of windows.data.pdf.dll (which I know nothing about), instead of a native browser option like pdf.js which is the default PDF viewer in FF.

GitHub this week raised $250 million from prominent Silicon Valley venture firms, the company said. The infusion raised its valuation to about $2 billion, according to sources familiar with the matter, and brought the San Francisco company’s total funding to $350 million.
"Straight cash, homie," said Chris Wanstrath this morning.

“Exercises in Programming Style” by Cristina Videira Lopes is the best programming book to come along in many years. Casting back over many decades, the only book I can compare it to in terms of actionable value is Steve McConnell’s “Code Complete,” and in terms of approachability and sheer fun, it reminds me of Ted Nelson’s classic “Computer Lib/Dream Machines.”
Kickin' it old school, paper-style.

I like Charles Petzold's "Code".  Very, how you say, "actionable".

Modern is a Standard C++ language projection for the Windows Runtime. The Modern compiler produces a header-only library designed to provide Standard C++ developers with first-class access to the Windows API. "What kind of fool do you think I am? To think I know nothing of the modern world"

Gawd, to people still really do that? I mean, even if you're coding in C++, I would assume that by now you've either developed your own (hopefully sane) wrappers or are using some third party package.
Modern? Riiiight. I'm not going back to last century programming. (ooh, that sounds so old, haha)

Actually, this is a wrapper that uses C++ 11 (and upwards) techniques, so is much better than a lot of the older libraries. Further, it is aimed at developing Store apps rather than Win32 apps.
(Which makes it a total waste of time, unless by some miracle the Store takes off in a big way).
