Well, you certainly wouldn't want to trouble yourself to read the content that describes the graphic where it clearly states that the figures used are based on "organizations surveyed," and think about what that could mean.
I mean that would distract you from browsing random graphics, wouldn't it ?
Of course, you would not want to go to IDG, and see if you could find information about what the sample size was, how survey participants were selected, and other information like that which would enable something called "critical thinking:" another big distraction, there.

I know for a fact that there are businesses who have to keep all their data in house for regulatory reasons; meaning that even if every CIO/CTO/etc had drank cloud koolaid the percentage of businesses that are or expect to be in the cloud within 3 years must be less than 100%. The details of how the creator either misstated the data or how the surveyor collected a non-representative data set are irrelevant to proving that they're all wet.
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?

TagHelpers are a new feature of ASP.NET 5 (formerly and colloquially ASP.NET vNext) but it's taken me (and others) some time to fully digest them and what they mean. That would make this article a TagHelperHelper

Entitled “Artist with Anna and Elsa,” the tutorial introduces students to basic coding concepts like loops and conditionals, with appearances from the leading women in Disney’s blockbuster animated feature. Just in case you haven't heard 'that song' often enough yet

This feature can help you overcome any inertia in getting started writing unit tests. Is the test smart enough to write the code to make it pass?
|
|

It assumes your existing code is 100% right.
While rarely 100% true: Most of the code in a working application should be correct; and when working with a currently un/poorly tested codebase; "does this change I'm making affect anything else" is probably the most important question to answer. And this tool looks like it should answer that.
Since one of the .net applications I'm working on has a very old code base which mostly hasn't had test coverage added after the fact, this intigues me enough that I'm strongly tempted to setup a VM to see what this tool is able to produce.
The tool itself appears to be an outgrowth of Code Digger/Pex[^] which was a tool that would generate a complete set of test inputs for functions in portable class libraries that MS Research demoed a few years ago.

Very interesting, although I'm afraid it won't be quite that easy as the example shows. Happy to see it though - it will help show a lot about what should get covered, and just how to do so.

The software craftsmanship movement talks about practicing as a way to to develop programming skills to become software craftsmen. "The lyf so short, the craft so longe to lerne."

Er, isn't that called 'experience'?

I read this earlier, basically they've built an API so they don't have to put all of their code into their various apps. Groundbreaking /s

It was a phenomenally slow news day. I probably should have only posted one item today.

Today Google is launching a new tool for publishers that does away with Google-sourced ads, while not forcing users to pay before accessing content: Contributor. "They sit at the bar and put bread in my jar, and say, 'Man, what are you doin' here?'"

I will pay you not to spam me show me ads.

Yup. Blackmail is an ugly word. They prefer extortion.

IBM, Cisco and others are launching new apps under a freemium model. Will Millennials see these enterprise giants as go-to vendors in the future? "The first hit is always free"
But seriously, could we stop using "freemium", "long-tail", and every other silly bit of office-speak?
