Sweet. You can write an application with a random mix of Objective c and c++/CX code. That's going to be fun to maintain!

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today released Privacy Badger 1.0, a browser extension that blocks some of the sneakiest trackers that try to spy on your Web browsing habits. "Out in the woods, up to no good I wanna make friends with the badger"
Yes, I know, "Badger badger badger, mushroom, mushroom", repeat. Not going there. Wait, didn't I just? Gah. Happy today.

Those of us in the UK will know that naming a project after badger's may draw unwarranted culling associations.

Great article! Helps to put things into perspective. Further, it's great seeing what options are succeeding.

The growing interest in container technology has been mirrored by a jump in job openings for IT professionals with Docker expertise. Docker? Yeah... I'm all over that. Sure. 10 years experience. Yup.

I used to wear Dockers, but I have since switched to a brand that offers elasticized waistbands.
|
|
|
|

The kind with the crinkly section on the sides that makes it obvious, or the style that hides it by having the elastic adjust how wide the pocket openings are?
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?

My great grand dad used to be a docker in Liverpool. I though dock workers were on the decline.
|
|
|
|
|
I have the vernacular (and social skills) of a docker - does that count?
|
|
|
|
|
As long as you don't have the venereal diseases of a docker you're fine.

At long last, Microsoft has released Team Foundation Server 2015. This version of Microsoft’s ALM collaboration platform packs a breadth of new features and capabilities, from a build system overhaul, the new Team Project Rename feature and Continuous Delivery capabilities in the Azure build pipeline, to Git and extensibility improvements, and revamped agile project management.
About damn time.

So says Jennifer Granick, Director of Civil Liberties at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society, who gave the keynote address at the (somewhat infamous) Black Hat security conference today. "The end of our elaborate plans. The end of everything that stands"

The end...I'll never look into your eyes, again.
Thanks for reminding me of this song - I'm going to go listen to it now

For the past four years, London startup OpenSignal, which tracks networks and sensors, has released an annual report on fragmentation in the Android ecosystem. I think I'm going to ignore that, "Test on all devices" requirement

There haven’t been many updates for Windows 10 since Microsoft launched its new operating system last week, but today the software giant is rolling out a cumulative update designed to "enhance the functionality of Windows 10 through new features and improvements". Have we gone from "Patch Tuesday" to "Patch Every Tuesday"?
|
|

|

Ah, I saw this update. But I ignored it, another piece of junk.

What's the patch, Windows 11?

No, noooo! They skip versions now. 8 -> 10 -> ? ... take a guess what comes next.
I'm only afraid they're skipping the good versions.
If you're having a bad day, stare at your feet and smile.

They are skipping the good versions...it's just Vista and Millennium from now on...just the ticks of the 'tick-tock' cycle...the tocks being the versions they finally get right
