They appear to've failed to address the single reason I've spent the last half yearish writing a touchscreen app in WPF instead of UWP. Our customer does not want to distribute it through the Windows store; and has reasonable business reasons for not wanting to do so.
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?

Microsoft does it all years too late. They should had done this move while Steve Ballmer was laughing about the iPhone.

Creative use of features such as goto, multiple inheritance, eval, and recursion may be just the right solution for experienced developers when used in the right situation. Think of the creative comments people will make about your code!

No I try to Forget them. Last comment I remember from a coworker (apprentice, but coworker) wrote in a piece of my code: "Shoot him"

Is it funny or sad when example code trying to justify goto is terrible?

yes

Recursion is a fundamental, if a developer doesn't know it he's either an untrained beginner or a complete moron. Multiple inheritance can be really useful in a narrow selection of cases (if x is both A and B it makes sense that it inherits from both).
Goto is quick and often much cleaner than the structured counterparts "break", "continue" and "switch", and don't usually require added control variables. It's also more error prone as it's really easy to jump over required functions.

In Packt’s “Skill Up: Developer Talk” report, software engineers, web developers and other industry leaders shared their thoughts on the ever-evolving tech landscape and how developers can stay relevant in 2017. Lisp. Always.

You should always use the newest, coolest, superest stuff, as soon as it comes out.
That way, no-one will have the skills to modify anything that's more than five years old.

Studying mice, scientists at Johns Hopkins have fortified evidence that a key purpose of sleep is to recalibrate the brain cells responsible for learning and memory so the animals can "solidify" lessons learned and use them when they awaken—in the case of nocturnal mice, the next evening. Which explains why you don't remember writing that code last night

You must've been to Lahore or Karachi, other cities do sleep, Lahoris consider it a sin and trust me, I love it when I am in Lahore. The best part about it is the food and foodies.

Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is being pushed across the universe by a large unseen force, according to new research. That Andromeda can be so pushy sometimes

Quote: "Now we find an emptiness in exactly the opposite direction, which provides a 'push' in the sense of a lack of pull,"
Um, no.
It's a 'pull' in the other direction, because that's where the force is coming from, so it's a 'pull' in the sense of a pull.
