From years of watching master programmers, I have observed certain common patterns in their workflows. 21 days or bust!
Apologies for sending people to "that" site.

Like all observed behavior, some of it is probably true, some probably isn't. I have no idea if I'm a "maester programmer" but I do know that I get the job done as quickly and efficiently as I can given whatever the current context might be.
The problem with all of these approaches is that they fit some scenarios some of the time. To me, adaptability is the one of the most important attribute of any programmer, master or not.

In at least this one case, we don't update our expectations after making mistakes. Thus explaining every forum discussion EVER
But I'm still not convinced.

That explains why I'm not in Vegas making millions playing Texas Hold'em.

We’re happy to provide an update on the VC++ for Linux extension which has a new release today. Just typing that heading made my brain melt

Isn't that just that visual studio code thing?

No, it's full VS (on Windows), deploy to Linux.
It AIN'T natural! Kill it with fire!

With the same debugger as windows version? Or is that too much to hope for?

"Specifically, we need openssh-server, g++, gdb and gdbserver."
So, no, we are stuck with the crap that is gdb.

Ah. Right. I had tried to think of a rationale and failed, but that makes perfect sense now. Thank you.

A new developer option available in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update just made background activity a whole lot easier. "Get back, back to where you once belonged"

A species of tropical fish has been shown to be able to distinguish between human faces. It is the first time fish have demonstrated this ability. Something to think about next time you have sushi

Oh! So that's why. 
The trout are all like, "Here comes Ron. His snacks are prickly. Don't bite it".

They can recognize more than only faces when it comes to their kin. Don't you remember:
"Look, Henry is being eaten!"

«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Beat me by 4 hours. Sorry, next time I'll remember to uncheck the "post in insider forum".

As part of the ongoing transition to the module system, CORBA and other Java EE modules won't be included in the default classpath from Java 9 onwards. Now how is it going to revolutionize programming?

It used to be that if you needed to create a recording of a program on the PC, you had to get Expressions Encoder or some other capture program. But the feature is now built into Windows 10, assuming you're willing to do some pretending. Well, if this doesn't get you to upgrade to Windows 10...

The question is how good is it? Is sound synced correctly? What's the frame rate like? It's actually very hard to do video capture without dropping frames.

It was originally built for XBox game sharing, so I'm assuming it's got to be fairly good for software-only. Of course, I know what happens when I assume[^].
