Design patterns can be our best ally when used correctly. However, when used in the wrong place, they can do more harm than good. There are more interesting things to obsess over
Like tabs vs. spaces.

I think that's also true for scissors, screwdrivers, toothbrushes, shaving foam and garlic.

While these two browsers won’t be directly blocked from using Team Services, they’ll be likely to run into serious issues when trying to use the service. Your browser must be this new to check in

Quote: While this shouldn’t be such a massive issue for most on account of the long time that IE11 and Microsoft Edge have been out there, it’s still a shame that people are being shoved out of their browser of choice.
You know what's even more of a shame? That anyone is still using IE9/10 at all.

You use what you can. Many places don't allow different browsers or updates.

Diagnosis confirmed.
I must develop with VS6. That is my reaction usually (mitigated when I try VS 2012 and 2015 on a side machine and find them so terrible and unusable that I thank for not having to use them. Possibly more than 2 GB of RAM would ease the usability but hey, those are the instruments the Company gives me...)

Recent Intel x86 processors implement a secret, powerful control mechanism that runs on a separate chip that no one is allowed to audit or examine. When these are eventually compromised, they'll expose all affected systems to nearly unkillable, undetectable rootkit attacks. Hardware recursion?

By the end of the migration its a fully universal app that should be able to run anywhere (ie on WP10 or your XBone).
For most apps I suspect the stopping point would be better integrating with the w10 start menu. (ie not looking like puke if a user tries pinning it as a tile.)

Another day, another zero-day vulnerability discovered in Flash - one that’s actively being exploited in the wild. The company hasn’t yet released a patch but it’s promising to do so this week. Just confirming that we're still living in the real world. They didn't switch us out to a simulation.
Unless the simulation is running in Flash?!
I'll be in the corner if anyone needs me.

In a lovely demonstration of light's quantum effects, physicists in the UK have just mixed a molecule with light at room temperature for the first time ever. So.... they left something on the window ledge?

They mixed it, so there must have been a bowl involved.
