Developer performance and how it impacts the industry is a big deal – so much so that Jacob Kaplan-Moss made an attempt to tackle it during his PyCon 2015 keynote. Calling himself a mediocre programmer, he confronts the programming talent myth. "But if hurtin' is a talent then I know that I've been blessed"

Has the shine worn off NoSQL? Hardly. The NoSQL document database MongoDB in particular continues a meteoric rise in popularity. And SQL is still the one that does all the homework

Xamarin has announced its acquisition of RoboVM, a momentous step for both companies which means C# and Java developers need only look to a single development solution for native deployment across each of the major platforms. Hey! You got angle brackets in my angle brackets!

Looks like the Microsoft/Xamarin marriage is on the rocks.

Why do you conclude that? RoboVM is for Java on Android & iOS.

It's possible that Xamarin is thinking the C# route is not the one forward (due to lack of partner support from Microsoft). This is just a hunch and not based on anything I've heard.

mehbe. Or they're just targeting another xplatform.

BlackBerry's been drip-feeding data about its first Android phone for the last few weeks, but it looks as if someone's spilled the rest of the beans a little bit early. An eagle-eyed member of the Crackberry forums found a page on the firm's website that shared the spec list and price for the US and Canadian version of the device. If accurate, then we know that the Priv is packing a fair bit of power beneath the hood, but has a listed price of $749. There's no indication if that figure is for the US or Canada -- but the page does reference the (GSM) handset not working on American CDMA networks like Verizon and Sprint. You'll also spot that the device is marked for release on November 16th, so we won't have long to find out if all of this is true or not.
Blackberry is like the energizer bunny, it won't die!

Today, we’re really excited to announce the 0xDBE 1.0 Preview, a nearly-finished version of our database IDE. Please give it a try and share your impressions to help us polish it before release to market. Shouldn't that be 0xDBA?

Depends on whether you want to say Admin or Environment. 
But, databases, bleagh

According to a trusted source, Microsoft will release the “Threshold 2” (TH2) release of Windows 10 in November as the Windows 10 Fall Update. And unlike the post-RTM Windows Insider builds we’ve been getting, the Fall Update will ship as a cumulative update, not as a full build. For those waiting for SP1

Quote: including an improved Media Creation Tool, new locales and other new features for Cortana, and various Edge improvements (but not add-ons, sorry)
I do not play with media...do not like when my computer talks to me too much...and a browser without extensions not really goes beyond limits...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

You can choose which browser to use! Chrome works great in Win10  You can also still run IE in Win10 as well.

Another proof that W10 is still in beta and edge in alpha 
Business want something stable, not experimental.

If you're a Linux or open source developer, Microsoft wants to work with you, and maybe even hire you. "Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!"

Since last year, when it unveiled Fabric, Twitter is giving away an embarrassment of riches to developers, from its free Crashlytics error-reporting and analytics suite; to Digits, a login service which now offers both phone and email options; to Mopub, a mobile-friendly advertising network which helps app developers make money.
