Microsoft is rebranding its unified-communications line-up from Lync to Skype for Business, and is readying the next releases of those products for the first half of 2015. Because nothing says 'business' like 'Skype me'
And of course they will also completely update the UI every six months to maintain tradition associated with that name.

I don't think "lynch me" was better

So they finally found the missing linc?
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?

It’s proven that Clang is a mature compiler For C and C++as GCC and Microsoft compilers, but what makes it special is the fact that it’s not just a compiler. It’s also an infrastructure to build tools. It makes such a catchy chorus, "Clang, clang, clang went the trolley"

If it's so flexible that it can be used with many languages, then why don't they call it "dolang"? That would be so fine.

Two ears and a tail for that one. Well done, sir.

Actually, it is LLVM that is multi-language, providing the underpinning of CLang. CLang is an implementation of C, C++ and Objective-C implemented using LLVM.
That is made pretty clear in the article, I thought.

Nvidia is releasing the software it created to prove that the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing was real. Yeah. A company that specializes in CG says it wasn't. That should convince the 'skeptics'.

Sorry, they detected my farts but haven't realized it yet.

Because a site called "Computer World" is where I go when I want to read trusted information about high energy physics.

Although, to be fair, I'm not sure you'd use a site called "Code Project" to aggregate announcements from such sites either.
(Unless, of course, you're referring to the blind watchmaker programmer herself).

GitHub Enterprise is now available in an Amazon-hosted version for companies moving more infrastructure to the cloud. "Any problem in computer science can be solved with another level of indirection."

Hyped technology, including the cloud, tends to be used where it does not belong. Naysayers help you avoid that mistake. "Here comes the sun, and I say it's all right"

The only Cloud I trusted turned out to be a failed experiment and invented the whole of his memories.
He was a decent chap that Mr Strife, but he betrayed my trust!

Live Q&A with CVP Brian Harry. Nov. 12 at 5:00 PM EST. Someone ask him if they'll upgrade Visual SourceSafe to The Cloud

I thought the cloud was the new VSS. At least it's the new GUI for VSS, right?

To be fair I'm using Visual Studio Online at the moment for a project and I think it's really feckin good. They do an insanely impressive job of combining source control, code reviews, task management etc, to the point where you can check in code against a task, and then have a code review of that task's code all in the one place. Really nice.
