We’ve been taking a good, hard look at the compiler performance we had with 1.0. We knew we could leverage the experience from building the original compiler over the last two years. This lead to experimenting with a new, lighter-weight compiler core. The early results with this new compiler core were so positive that we’re now focused on growing this core into the new TypeScript compiler and language service.

But when you're attempting to build a castle on top of javascript it will always sink no matter how many flaming ruins have already descended into the swamp.
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?

We've heard this a few times from various sources. One operating system to rule them all. One operating system for phones, tablets, computers, and Xbox. It looks like the framework for that operating system is being referred to as Windows OneCore. A job listing has surfaced, giving us a peek at what OneCore might be about. Just don't call it Silverlight

Microsoft has announced a unified technology event set to take place in May of next year. The event covers all of Microsoft's products, including Windows and Office. Microsoft seems to have combined its annual TechEd conference with the Microsoft Management Summit, SharePoint Conference, Lync Conference, Exchange Conference, and Project Conference to provide a unified event for enterprises. Wasn't that what TechEd was?

Microsoft is not confused in any way about the confusing message it is sending to all of the confused people in the world who are not confused.

Internet of Things is the current hip phrase of technology evangelists, geeks and all kinds of clairvoyants. If, according to tech blogs and websites, 2013 was the year of big data, then 2014 certainly is the year of Internet of Things. Calling them things is bad for their self esteem

Dunno if I want the internet in everything but it would be cool if the microwave would connect to the net and get the latest time from the atomic clock after the power goes out...same with the stove and the coffee maker, not to mention the alarm clocks...that feature would be worth a few bucks more.
|
|
|
|

I do not know why microwave and coffee maker have to know what time it is (I have none of them), but can suggest you a solar powered alarm clock[^] (there are hundreds of them). No problem of power failure...

It's for timed startup...you can set your microwave to start cooking your dinner before you get home.
Coffee maker, you can set it to brew your coffee before you get up.
|
|
|
|
|
That's explains why I have none of them...
Cooking - do by myself (wife if I'm ill)
Coffee - not in my cup...

Why should you set when to start cooking when you can use internet to make it cook from a distance. Or even set the ingredients and just select a recipe from internet for it to make.
This way you wont need to marry ... ever

And you trust a machine that will cook you something a bit more than edible? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISXqC-YPnpc[^]

Yes why not?
When I think about how much we trust in the machines who knows what will come after 10 or maybe 20 years.
For example we trust the machines to build the cars, to wash the clothes and so on. No matter how we look at it we depend on them more and more after each year. Today is google glasses tomorrow, who knows teleports(I hope so) ? Why not a stove to prepare the meals all by herself?

MDD as described here is a fundamentally iterative process that begins with a high-level view of your system’s overall health and then drills down into relevant subsections as you follow the data. Because it's been almost two whole weeks without a new paradigm

Are any of these a silver bullet yet? I'm sick of having software projects eaten by werewolves.. we need a silver bullet (covered in garlic, just to be sure).
All business software is actually created using DDD. Sometimes this stands for Deadline Driven Development, sometimes for Defect Driven Development and sometimes Dumb*ss Driven Development. I could write an article as to why this is* but some Dumb*ss has set a Deadline for me to fix a Defect 
(*Short version - we tolerate idiots in the hope that they will go away. It works but the marble jar of idiots is with replacement)
