Microsoft's superset of JavaScript, TypeScript, is now integrated into the latest Visual Studio 2013 update. Good news, if you're the script type

Can't see why?
So programmer of modern days can't handle development without strongly typed environment, aided with intellisense and real-time syntax checking?
Poor us...

Analysts were uncertain today whether the recent stretch of "go-low" moves by Microsoft means that the company has tweaked its strategy to emphasize services at the expense of devices. "Crazy Eddie, his prices are IN-SA-A-A-A-A-ANE!"

Microsoft released Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 CTP 2, along with the near-final version of its superset JavaScript programming language, TypeScript 1.0 RC.
Google wants to replace JavaScript, Microsoft just wants to control it.

|
How is creating a programming language that does everything JavaScript does and "more" NOT trying to replace JavaScript?
|
|
|
|
|
Because the TypeScript compiler emits JavaScript.
It's just a type-safe wrapper around the language to make it easier to write quality code in JavaScript.

TypeScript is different from the other JavaScript targeting languages in that you can just use it as a "compile time" helper for regular JavaScript since JavaScript is just a subset. In that sense you can "use" TypeScript without having to write TypeScript.

Mozilla on how its Servo engine will throw away the 20th-century baggage that holds back current browsers and harness the power of modern multi-core smartphones and tablets.
They've already lost the desktop battle to Chrome, but Servo gives Firefox a shot at winning the mobile war.

When it comes to optimizing database queries, a new study suggests that most programmers could use a refresher course You mean, "SELECT * FROM tablename" isn't optimized?
|
|
|
|

It's disturbing how many positions I've worked where database performance was, at best, an afterthought.
Truth be told, I imagine I'd fail such a test as well.
Hmm... Back to Joe Celko I think.

Unfortunately, in the accompanying article they defined a pass as 4 out of 5.
Sorry.

I believe your signature amply covers that...

Yes, you've got 8 more attempts!

Sure it is; it uses a lot less network bandwidth than listing all the colunm names. And it's future proof as well, less maintenance, win-win.

Well, I'd think you'd want to tack a WHERE clause on there, or TOP, or something else to reduce the possible number of rows coming back.

Could someone give an extended explanation for the 5th question? In particular, why can't the DB optimize it by first doing WHERE a = @a over the entire table to get a subset of 100 records and then doing WHERE b = @b over just those hundred? Since the brute force/non-indexed where clause is only being done over ~100 records it shouldn't require a significant amount of time to do.
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?

Got 5 for 5, but in my last position, I was forced into the DBA role for 2 years when the DBA announced on Monday that Wednesday was his last day.
I could either learn and save myself a lot of grief, or suffer, and I don't like that kind of suffering.

A "scary" software flaw that has put users of iPhones, iPads and Mac computers at risk of being hacked has dealt a blow to the reputation of Apple, the world’s most valuable brand, say security researchers. More news from that category, "Duh!"

What QuickTime, iTunes and Bonjour couldn't do to that reputation cannot be done.
