For the past seven releases of Visual Studio (2002, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2013), the Visual C++ libraries have been versioned and each versioned set of libraries is independent of other versioned sets of libraries. "Even for us, this model of introducing new versions of the libraries can be painful at times."

C purists beware:
Quote: We have converted most of the CRT sources to compile as C++, enabling us to replace many ugly C idioms with simpler and more advanced C++ constructs. The publicly callable functions are still declared as C functions, of course (extern "C" in C++), so they can still be called from C. But internally we now take full advantage of the C++ language and its many useful features.

A developer yesterday claimed code within iOS 8 pointed to a split-screen mode, suggesting that earlier rumors of the iPad embracing the personal computer-like capability had some basis in fact.
"Just in case there was any doubt left ... iOS 8's SpringBoard has code to run two apps side-by-side. 1/4 size, 1/2 size, or 3/4 size," tweeted Steven Troughton-Smith, the founder and CEO of mobile app developer High Caffeine Content. This seems useful, if only the iPad screen was bigger...

The irony, while Win 8.1 has a calculator occupying the entire screen...ios is moving towards multitasking on the ipad.. .

Researchers have found that Windows 8 code contains security check code absent in Windows 7. This is not the same as not patching. "If it ain't broke..."

You can’t easily encrypt documents using the net’s biggest file sharing services, including those from Google, Microsoft, and Dropbox. And, for Nasr, this shouldn’t be the case. After all, encryption is offered by so many underground file-sharing sites, including Mega, the service from swashbuckling internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom.
The bigger they are, the harder they [fail to encrypt anything worth a damn.]

Yeah, the word you're looking for is "won't"
If they did that, they couldn't look around in them all.

One of the major features Dimensions CM 14 now provides is change and branch visualization. The visualization gives developers real-time visibility into the health and quality of their code. According to Owen, developers don’t get a visual display of all development activities across the development team in Git or Subversion unless they build it.
Good luck with that, Serena

Potshots:
Dimensions CM 14
So, do you think after 14 versions they finally got it right???
The visualization gives developers real-time visibility into the health and quality of their code.
When are we going to stop monitoring the health and quality of code, and start writing healthy and quality code to begin with?
And by the way, WTF is "healthy code"? Perhaps there a market for treating your code base with Neuro-Emotional Therapy[^].

Any software developer knows how easy it is to let a project devolve into spaghetti code, and APIs are no less prone to resulting in a tangled web. But it doesn’t need to be that way. In truth, it’s possible to build great web APIs that people will actually enjoy using, and that you’ll enjoy creating as well.
Deliver us from spaghetti code, O Wise One of APIs...

Two 14-year-old Canadians hacked a Bank of Montreal ATM after finding an operators manual online. The manual showed how to gain administrative control of the device, according to a media report published over the weekend. "Please insert your stolen card now"

Quote: Kids with operators manual Dang. For a moment I thought you were saying there is a manual for kids themselves. Wishful thinking.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

First line support manuals are written for kids!
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Not everyone should _be allowed_ to sing either, but it's happening all the time. See American Idol, The Voice, etc. Software Developer's especially should refrain from singing.

but I can sing. My voice doesn't sound like thunder, so I guess that's pretty much okay.

It's hard to find a girl who can't sing, so you are not really an exception.

You have meet a few girls yet... I have four of them at home and believe me - they can't sing...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)
