Microsoft has made it possible for the Adobe Web Platform Team to contribute to Project Spartan. The team contributes in the areas of layout, typography, graphic design and motion, with significant commits to the Web platform. "I've got a bad feeling about this."

This from the company that went to the public and said "help us fix our sh*t code because we can't figure it out".

That's all fine, as long as they zero input on security.
Adobe are definitely one of the world leaders on layout, typography, and graphic design, so input their cannot really be bad.

According to Richard Stallman, godfather of the free software movement, Facebook is a “monstrous surveillance engine,” tech companies working for patent reform aren’t going nearly far enough, and parents must lobby their children’s schools to keep data private and provide free software alternatives.

Randy Hunt, aka "letsgetrandy" posted a "project" (in geek speak known as a "repo") earlier this week to software hosting site GitHub called "DICSS." A programmer making puns?! Stop the presses!

As I started my own journey into unit testing, I slowly began to realize that it was really easy to come up with reasons to NOT test my code as I was writing it, even once I understood what that was supposed to look like. Because then I'd have to write tests for my test code

I have reservations about the policies of app stores run by MS and Apple. I won't even join FB due to their goddamn awful practices relating to privacy, and trying at one stage to assume copyright over uploaded content. My chance of "friending" them is remote to put it mildly. I'd be more likely to teach myself malicious hacking and attempt to mess up their servers (that's not very likely, in case anyone from NSA checks CP forums).

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 been over seven years since the Prism project started, led by the patterns & practices team. It was originally known as the Composite Application Library. Last year, we celebrated our 5th official release of Prism. And by "grows up", they mean they're dumping it on the community

Seven years? Try thirty. 
"
In August 1985 the first draft of a high-level design was delivered, and work began on the detailed design. The PRISM specification was developed over a period of many months

Traditional technical interviews are terrible for everyone. Just hire the first person that applies
|
|
|
|
|
I am not going to give up hours/days of my time on a worthless project when I already know that interviews are decided in the first few seconds of meeting someone, face-to-face. Technical questions are a poor way to interview and I have refused to white board but I've also agreed and found it to be a poor interview technique but can also be fun.
The best and fairest way is to ask generalized questions to see if the interviewee would be a cultural fit in the team/business because they could be the smartest developer in the world but if they won't mesh with the team then you've just hired a whole heap of trouble. Oh, and actually follow up on the references. Duh.
