Microsoft has released Windows 10 build 9860 today and if you haven't downloaded it yet, here is how you can do so. Along with the new release, Microsoft is introducing a new cadence option for how quickly you will receive new builds. Daily Windows build updates? That could be ... interesting

Yep, they're crowdsourcing their dogfooding. Why run a big test environment and pay for it when there are enough people out there who are willing to do it for free?

Everybody knows that by far the coolest part of Back to the Future: Part II is the scene where Marty McFly escapes his arch-nemesis by zooming through the air on his rad Mattel hoverboard. And every year since then, we've said to ourselves, “Well, where are our hoverboards? We were promised hoverboards!” More or less (but mostly less)

Different one. That previous one was a hoax (if I remember correctly).
This one is hardly a hoverboard, but they're making it look like that for the attention. It's more like a small, relatively efficient maglev. As I understand it they are more going for industrial uses, but the hoverboard gets the attention.

Each compiler could report after the build many warnings. These warnings won’t keep your code from compiling except if you decide to treat them as errors. Don’t hesitate to take a look as these warnings instead of ignoring them. Indeed compiler warnings are often indicators of future bugs that you would see only at runtime. Belt and suspenders FTW

Bookmarked. Not something I need at the moment; but in a few months I've got an MSVC++ salvage attempt project (pre VS2002 format solution, customer is currently running it on NT4) scheduled. Assuming it doesn't quickly turn out to be a lost cause (win16 code, 3rd party binary only libraries) I expect to have a huge amount of crap to flush before getting it not just to work but to comply with current IA requirements.
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?

The dearth of software development talent isn’t an issue restricted to U.S. businesses. Finding programmers, especially to fill positions in the growing field of health IT, is a global challenge, said speakers Tuesday during a panel discussion on developing a health IT workforce. Sounds like a good business to be in then

I was in on that in 2010, but fortunately something better came along.
The problem is that the lack of talent has been filled with non-talent.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

On the afternoon of Thursday, Oct. 23, 2014, the Moon will pass in front of the Sun. Make noise, or we will be doomed to darkness!
For those of us lucky enough to be in the right area (and not be overcast)

Every now and then we all come across some code whose behaviour is unexpected. The Java language contains plenty of peculiarities, and even experienced developers can be caught by surprise. Just because you CAN write horrid code in a language, doesn't mean you SHOULD.

That's not what they said in my Job Security 101 class...

I mean, not that I follow what I learned in that class.

You know, just adding additional functions which depended on the previous function instead of creating an override.
|
|
|
|
|
Which, at some point, adding additional function calls, you then have to revoke a function a few functions back.
|
|
|
|
|
But you probably already knew that.
So, just disregard the message a few messages back. Which, of course, means this message and a few before it can be ignored.

None of these are actually surprising or really worth mentioning at all.

Google today announced that it has acquired Firebase, a backend service that helps developers build realtime apps for iOS, Android and the web that can store and sync data instantly.
Google is on fire. Get it? Get it?

Hope they don't get burnt.

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

ou need a solid foundation built on three drivers in order to deliver good software, and each one must be measured and judged from an end-user perspective.
Don't code an app that makes the end user want to smash their device against a wall. Advice to live by.
