NASA has revealed that a whiff of methane has been detected twice in the last couple of years at the Martian surface by the Curiosity Rover. Bob must have eaten something that didn't agree

Must be from some Martian's septic tank...probably should call the vac truck.

You need a strong community, templates and tools to support your already-stellar API.
It's really a pain in the SaaS.

As Oracle presses forward with Project Jigsaw, it is notifying developers of potential changes to apps and IDEs that use the JDK. If you break it, you buy it

Something seems wrong with that article, I think it's the implication that Eclipse isn't broken today.
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?

Dang. *That* is the blurb I should have used. I was trying to come up with something similar to that, but my brain failed me.
Well done, sir.

If you want to take a Microsoft Certification, you need to visit an authorized test center and take it. Microsoft is now simplifying this process with online proctoring which allows you to take tests from your office or home. Also, the new Microsoft Labs Online let you order digital courseware and labs to lead in-house training. It wasn't easy enough to cheat before?

For the fame they had before it is better this way - at least one doesn't even have to waste time. Just Pay&Pick.

The GPL is still the world's most popular open-source license but it's declining in use, while permissive licenses are gaining more fans, and some developers are choosing to release code without any license at all. This news item licensed under the CPOL. Void where prohibited by law.

One of the fundamental truths of software development is that you have to write code, but one of the biggest fallacies is the idea that writing code is the primary function of your job. From now on, I'll only write 'if' statements, not the 'else' parts
|
|
|
|
|
Why not just use a switch statement instead?

In Visual Studio, press SW and TAB TAB, it will generate one for you!

But that's four key presses, while if is only two!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

if of 2 keys will show a compiler error!

So will SW + TAB + TAB ! You still need to enter the "(" and the ")".

Wrong!
You just need to add the variable name, on which you want to create a switch!

This is similar to Surgery. Going into Med school you think, "Hey, I'm going to do nifty surgeries on people. I'll take out this and put in that. It'll be pretty much like the work I've done on cadavers."
However, that is the wrong focus. Surgeons should really be thinking, "I wonder if I can do something different to get this patient healed?" ...wait for it....
Uh, no, I need to get paid. Better do the surgery.
Also, consider the person who wants to be an electrician. The dream is to design a system that supports huge buildings and then run the wire accordingly.
The truth is you are slogging your way through someone's filthy crawlspace and attics attempting not to electrocute yourself while fixing some problem.
Auto mechanic... well, you get the picture...
None of the jobs we do are really the jobs we do.

This extension provides smart, contextual help to solve every day dev problems like searching for projects, code samples and resolving code errors, all from within the Visual Studio IDE. OK, the contextual error search seems moderately useful
