One of Microsoft's growing stable of collaboration apps, 'Project Osaka,' seems to be going away before it got past the private preview stage. I think we have a new record for application lifetime

IBM insisted that we had to have a lock on the door, and we only had this closet that had a lock on it, so we had to do all our development in there, and it was always over 100 degrees, but we wrote late at night a little application to show what the BASIC built into the IBM PC could do. Imagine how good it would have been if he stayed up until 5am

But then he would have forgotten what he'd done.

I must say that I like business insider's new way of making their visitors happy.
For me, they disable the page, and pop up a huge message saying:Quote: Business Insider is er ook in Nederland.
Wij brengen elke dag wat je wil weten over ondernemen, tech, carrière en personal finance.
Like ons op Facebook en mis niks!
And the little X button in the corner doesn't close it or re-enable the page.
They're too busy playing with their fb account to check their javascript, no doubt.
Either that or they know my IP address, and they don't want me going near their comments section.

With the understanding that few professional developers will ever re-create their apps for the UWP platform, Microsoft is trying a different tack. Again. Do they have cookies?
|
|

Microsoft's asset is the wealth of applications available on Windows. I suggest MS to ditch the UWP API and Desktop bridge totally and allow normal (.NET or native) applications to run in UWP and the only requirement is to tweak the app's UI to have UWP feel/look.

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

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
