Well who woulda thunk it? 
Never personally met or heard of anyone using it. I thought it was primarily used by US military.

It never will, it is what native code compiles to.

Since TypeScript generates plain JavaScript code you can use it with any browser. Additionally, TypeScript is an open source project. TypeScript offers many features of object oriented programming languages such as classes, interfaces, inheritance, overloading and modules, some of which are proposed features of ECMA Script 6. Overall TypeScript is a promising language that can certainly help you neatly write and organize your JavaScript code base making it more maintainable and extensible. Still can't find the Java in JavaScript, but they did find the types for TypeScript.

Github has become the corner stone for all things open source software. Developers love it, collaborate on it and are constantly building awesome projects through it. Apart from hosting our code, Github’s main attraction is using it as a collaborative tool... In the world of software projects, it is inevitable that we will find ourselves working in a team to deliver a project. For this tutorial on Github and team collaboration, we will be exploring some of the most common tools that we generally need when working with software teams. Handy tricks for working with Github and a few other popular collaboration tools.

Here's one of the fundamental rules of programming. You're at the end of your day, you've gotten a lot of stuff done, and you have one more thing to get right before the feature is complete, and you're searching for the answer, trying all kinds of ideas, thoroughly confused, not wanting to get up until it's done, just slogging away and not getting it. Do you slog away, or try again another day?

Any software maker will tell you the same thing; provide detailed steps and a test case if possible to make isolating your issue as easy as possible. If you simply type, “My site doesn’t render in IE9″, you’re making things more difficult. Take the time to really isolate the problem and provide detailed, concise information so that the IE team can properly determine if it’s a bug and even if there’s a workaround. Rey Bango explains how to do it.

For many of us developers, WebKit is a black box. We throw HTML, CSS, JS and a bunch of assets at it, and WebKit, somehow.. magically, gives us a webpage that looks and works well. But in fact, as my colleague Ilya Grigorik puts it... "WebKit isn’t a black box. It’s a white box. And not just that, but an open, white box." So let’s take a moment to understand some things. What's shared by all WebKit ports, and what you can tweak during compilation.

Over the year and some, since I've been publishing ebooks, various people have asked about my publishing tools. I've given a few responses via email, or links via Twitter, but never laid everything out in one place. In December of 2012 I published an update to one of my books, here I'll lay out the steps (and tools) involved in writing, editing, and distributing an update to my ebooks. Let's start with the writing. Gutenberg's press, circa 2013.

The consequences are being played out in the market right now where it would appear that the traditional PC, desktop or notebook is a market that has peaked and is now starting its slow decline. Like any evolutionary platform change, this will not be immediate or quick and will play out over at least a decade. During this period I predict that the mass of computing will move to systems that are deemed good enough for most people, but that drive expert users crazy. What does an increasingly tablet-centric PC market mean to Word, Powerpoint and Excel?

it means those who need to author excel spread sheet will continue to do so under traditional desktop using a mouse+keyboard!

A 30-second video of a newborn baby shows the infant silently snoozing in its crib, his breathing barely perceptible. But when the video is run through an algorithm that can amplify both movement and color, the baby’s face blinks crimson with each tiny heartbeat. The amplification process is called Eulerian Video Magnification, and is the brainchild of a team of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. They caught you on tape and you still got away with it? Whoa!

Friendster is a social network that was founded in 2002, a year before Myspace and two years before Facebook. Consequently, it is often thought of as the grand-daddy of social networks. At its peak, the network had well over 100 million users, many in south east Asia. In July 2009, following some technical problems and a redesign, the site experienced a catastrophic decline in traffic as users fled to other networks such as Facebook. Friendster, as social network, simply curled up and died. Asps... very dangerous. You go first.

Now that we can navigate a computer screen through gestures, could a three-dimensional interface that recognizes gestures be far behind? According to Jinha Lee, who created a 3D desktop when he interned at Microsoft’s Applied Sciences Group, the future could be closer than you think.
Image what we can use it for...

I've been a 100% remote worker at Microsoft for just about 5 years now. My last two jobs were both 7 year long gigs, so this isn't the longest I've worked somewhere, but clocking in at a half-decade, it's the longest I've worked remotely. Given that I haven't yet been fired, it's fair to say that I'm a pretty good remote worker. Some tips for making remote working work.

I wonder if having some sort of avatar to represent you in the office would help others feel like you are more a part of the team. There was recently some tech conference where one of the products being presented was essentially a camera/screen atop a pole with wheels. Looked a bit like the screens from the conference room in Demolition Man. The screens show the face of a remote worker (or whoever), and the remote worker can "drive" the screens around to chat with people.
And I just found an old video of something similar: VGo. Basically, video conferencing on wheels.
And an article of another one: iPad on wheels.

The iPad on wheels is brilliant.
We tried to make a small one with a smartphone and Google+ hangout, but making a little Segway from a Lego nxt controller proved to be tricky. It could stand up and correct himself a little if you gave it a little nudge, but eventually it falls down.
Then somebody pointed out that it would be easier to make one on 4 wheels and feeling stupid we abandoned the project. 
Video conferencing is better than e-mail and phoning, especially during standup meetings. But, being an i-pad on wheels or a permanent face on the wall takes it too far imo.
The Segway may be a fun little gimmick at the start, but in an everyday work situation, where people have to plug you in every single day, configure the new wifi settings, getting you unstuck, etc... you're annoying them slightly, in addition to being the weird kid who got special privileges. It seems a little tragic to me.
When working remote, I think It all comes down to the goodwill of the team and the remote worker to make the best out of the situation.

The one I saw had a charging dock you just back into (there is a reverse camera, IIRC).

These are many new improvements of Object Pascal programming language in Free Pascal compiler. I don’t know how much new are they, but at least they are new since Delphi 7 language. What's old is new again.
