Microsoft’s Windows Store is a mess. It’s full of apps that exist only to scam people and take their money. Why doesn’t Microsoft care that their flagship app store is such a cesspool? "The Windows Phone Store features more than 300,000 apps and games. Hundreds more are added every day."

I have to agree, things like "G0ogle Chrome" on Windows Phone, which has bug all to do with Google.
I didn't download it to see what it actually did, for some reason.

It might not be the end of the world, but the design of systemd and the attitudes of its developers have been counterproductive. A single process to start other processes? What a crazy idea.

For all the talk by its CEO about a new and different Microsoft, the company's revenue and profit engines remain untouched, with money-making software groups tied to hardware-intensive divisions that increasingly drag down the firm's overall margin.

Programmer Guido van Rossum, author of the Python programming language, published a proposal on the Python mailing list suggesting that Python should learn from languages such as Haskell and the experimental mypy Python variant’s syntax for function annotations.
Type annotations in Python? Oh my[py.]

I can only hope that this marks the beginning of the end of duck-type languages, which, after working with Ruby, should be called "duct-tape" languages, a la McGyver.

Microsoft has announced an end-of-life schedule for .NET 4.0 thru 4.5.1. After January 12 of 2016, all technical support, including security and non-security updates, will be discontinued.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

This is not good work by Microsoft. What about the old systems? Like Windows XP and the users that don't want to support .NET 4.5?
What about the developers who develop the applications for the old framework. This is not fair by Microsoft.

Considering that Microsoft doesn't support XP anymore, I don't think they really care about the users.
|
|
|
|

Considering how sad XP really was near the end and how long it took them to replace it adequately, one could make the argument that Microsoft has not really cared about its customers for quite a few years.

Ah, it would be more fair to prohibit them from dropping support?
It's their product, and their decision. In a similar way, you cannot force the market to produce Betamax-hardware, or spare parts for your walkman. Neither companies nor products have an eternal life.

They should have realised the risks before buying that Betamax.

Is it as good as D yet?  I don't see how they can continue to post-increment C without reaching D.
|
|

I think they should start pre-incrementing C so that people use it like a better language...
rather than having a better language and continuing to use it like C

This is just an interim release that mainly fixes features introducted in C++ 11. The next version should be the good one :- Concepts Lite should make it into the standard.

Oracle has taken its development of Java 9 up a gear. A preliminary set of Java Enhancement Proposals (JEPs) for the next major release 9 has appeared on OpenJDK. And this time, Oracle are talking real features. A "smart Java compiler"? Excuse me while I avoid the obvious snark
