For applications distributed outside of the Windows Store, having an update mechanism is crucial. For roughly a decade ClickOnce was the standard approach used for .NET applications, but many still find it hard to customize and troubleshoot. It also seems ClickOnce is "done"

Yes , I agree to this. Click once is not simple and flexible enough to use for all kinds of app. There should be a standard way to enable auto-update for any .net app.

Open-source mailing lists and IRC conversations are as prone to flame wars as anywhere on the Internet, but now systemd co-creator Lennart Poettering is calling out Linus Torvalds in a more public forum for helping to create attacks on him. "Open Source is love"

And from my reading and understanding of the issues involved, Lennart deserves the public pummeling he's been getting. He's a pompous ass of the 9th degree.

GT Advanced Technologies, which has a supply relationship with Apple after an agreement struck late last year, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company will continue to operate as normal despite the filing, which is designed to protect its assets and operating budget from debt while it restructures and re-finances its obligations.
Would we care if they didn't have anything to do with Apple?

And hopefully they'll write better English.
BTW: Humans Need Not Apply[^]
A bit hyper, but a good watch.
I predict that the word "organic" will take on new meaning. Drone-free farming. Papers graded by professors, not machines (and certainly not interns!) "Made by humans." The government will enforce product labeling "made by real human hands" and "made by a robot."
And while the roads will become safer with drone cars, no machine can ever replace the NYC taxi experience. Nor would I want one to, even the bad experiences. So that probably means that taxis will still have a "taxi-driver" but as a passenger, and you pay extra for the Taxi Driver Wisdom[^].

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?
