I just want to know WTE MS was thinking when it decided to cut costs by laying off its entire FUD generation department?
At this point I think it has to rank as the worst mistake the company has ever made, above keeping Apple from going bankrupt in the 90s, Windows ME, or disbanding the IE development team after Netscape collapsed and declaring the web feature complete. 
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?

In version 9.5, PostgreSQL gets an UPSERT feature for the first time. Because looking first is for cowards?

UPSERT reminds me of non-initialized, non-typed variables.. if it already exists, then change it to the value I give you, otherwise, just create it now... and we'll figure out the rest later.

Scientists have long used X-ray or gamma ray telescopes to figure out where black holes may lie—but a new study suggests that we could accomplish the same thing with nothing more than a standard, optical 8-inch telescope. "...matter of fact it's all dark"

Really squeezing it now!
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Oooohhhh... that's right; he has a tool to sell. Now I get it.

On the other hand, it's "fun" to discover long after the fact that your automated process has an error.

I have written about handling exceptions some time ago, and about the levels of exception safety last week. What I have not touched yet are exception specifications. I will catch up on those with this post. Because crashApp() was already taken?

With Windows 10, the company has made clear its vision for an unified operating system that can adapt to the growing number of form factors in today’s technology world, lying at the core of which is universal apps. Just think of the size of the market (of people forced to upgrade)!

Will they put my beloved Office 2003 in the app store ?
It is still working as good as it used to, and I don't have to adapt to the f***ing ribbon.

I am actually considering developing UWP apps. Windows 10 isn't bad, it was just released too early.

Even though demand for new smartphones is waning, it seems consumers are happy with their existing devices and are using them more than ever. When you've already got a supercomputer in your pocket, do you need one 1% faster/lighter/sexier?
