If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Which age is that? There's been a fairly constant drip of cover versions[^] (Wikipedia).

Small bread, half baked, what is difference? 
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?

GitLab is targeting the enterprise, but will its open source allure be enough to win developers away from GitHub? For the gits inside the firewall

yup - I worked in a very closed shop/secure environment - I had the issues of 'getting people to use a repository' and then 'convincing them it was secure' - this would have eliminated both of those concerns (although probably not when we were collaborating with an outsource Co)
still, 'different strokes....'

This marks a milestone in delivering new value for Office 365 subscribers with a focus on collaboration, apps that work for you, a perfect pairing with Windows 10, and security features businesses will love. "Meet the new boss..."
Incentivize the collaborative paradigm!
I've been using it for a while, and I've seen all of one feature that wasn't in the previous version.

I don't have that many fingers.

I'm betting the only one is the right-click menu. And the only options there are Show Ribbon | Hide Ribbon | Customize Ribbon.

Hopefully they'll fix the crashiness of Excel 2013...should have stayed with 2010.

Quote: Skype for Business is now available in the client apps, allowing you to IM, screen share, talk or video chat right in your docs. This same experience will be coming to Office Online later this fall. Skype for Business also has faster screen sharing and now adds the option to start a real-time co-authoring session from any conversation or meeting.
So did they just slap a Skype skin on Lync; or did they reinvent the wheel? If the latter, I hope the PHBs running it were smart enough to realize that a lot of thier current Lync customers won't accept a solution that's only available with a backend on MS owned servers instead of in house ones, and have planned accordingly.

Skype for Business is just Lync with new underoos. And of course a separate code base from Skype for non-business.
Really? Your help desk blocks sharing sites? Why don't they just block file shares (or even files) while they're at it? Sending from OneDrive is the only new feature I've seen in the new Oriface.

I suspect file share sites are blocked as a data loss prevention move; easier to blacklist the entire domain than just block upload pages/etc. Internal file share's aren't a source of that risk.
An external Share(d)Point(OfFailure) is our baseline for sending/receiving files to big to email. I suspect if there was a business need (read a client refusing to use our sharepoint and insisting on dropbox/etc) I could get an exception (just for my user account) without too much difficulty beyond the standard burrocratic overhead. Probably as narrowly defined as possible. eg only www.ShareSite.tld/users/thecustomer/ if possible.

The programmer is a species destined for extinction. if(true == bored) { declare EOW; getClicks();}

I can definitely see the end of the traditional programmer. With Entity Framework, we see that through a wizard that a complete domain layer based off of a database or vice versa can be created. Let’s say that Microsoft created a user interface where you could take a spreadsheet and each spreadsheet tab represented domain logic. Once uploaded, a wizard could then create the domain layer, database, and create web pages from that. In fact, they probably have something now in house, that we don’t know about.
I can see a time when business analysts, programmers, and project managers are fighting for the same jobs.
Just like we’ve already seen in industries like automobiles, textiles, or even farming, there will be a time when there are too many workers and those who survive will earn much less than their ancestors. My guess is that nursing will be the next major sector hit once the baby boomers have past. And the Computer Science degrees of the future will be more geared towards math and analytics than code and computer architecture.
