 yup. I'm definitely the weak sauce here. Best to keep me where I can't do any damage. Other than bad jokes.

Together with the availability of Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 RC, we’re also announcing a new way of acquiring the C++ tools: as a standalone installer that only lays down the tools required to build C++ projects without installing the Visual Studio IDE. A compiler without an IDE. That's just magic, how would that work?
(Yes, that was an attempt at sarcasm)

Should install with .net just like CSC and VBC do.

Mehbe they should call it "Mt. Sinai".

New research suggests there is more to having a successful DevOps implementation than you might be aware of, or are adequately addressing. So, do you have a definition of DevOps?

I'm an Ops/Infra guy, and a freelance consultant.
More and more I find managers at my customers that 'want DevOps' because they think it's the ultimate tool. It will fix the islands-problem and all teams magically will communicate with each other, since that's what DevOps involves.
Please note that these are the words from a manager I've met about two weeks ago.
So indeed, what is DevOps?
Or if it's some abstract thing like ITIL, the question should be: How have you implemented, or how would you want to, implement DevOps within your organization.
I also wonder where the story originated that DevOps is the ultimate tool to solve the islands-problem. More and more of the managers I meet say some variation of this to me, and I'm having a hard time to get them to understand this is not the case. DevOps is a goal, not a tool?

We're not quite full fledged DevOps, but many a day I get mad at the business unit for their nit-picky requests and my response is to login into the prod servers through Explorer, build VS, publish VS, and then click the prod RoboCopy scripts. Easy Peasy DevOps!

In the quest for smaller, longer-lasting, more powerful batteries, scientists have tried many alternative approaches to battery chemistry. One may have just produced the breakthrough we’re waiting for. You might get a charge out of this

Trust me, it's better to let off some tension before getting a charge for battery.

Last year, over 209,000 cybersecurity jobs went unfilled, yet job postings for information security professionals have increased 74% over the past five years, according to Peninsula Press. This might be the most in-demand job in IT. Why, is there some computer security issues I don't know about?

Awesome. Maybe I'll set up an account there to be used as my spam-trap address, then never open it for a few years. Come back to it to find out it's been having conversations with spam bots and is preparing to launch Skynet.

What, exactly, is the point of a machine answering your emails for you? Will it inform you of what was sent and what it replied? Or will the conversation carry on without you? If you're not involved it will be safer to send the email to /dev/null, otherwise you're going to get some strange looks / angry phone calls / embarrassing situations arise.

I thought that was called a bidet, only they went a step farther and instead of just wiping the bulk of the cack off actually wash you down to get it all. 
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?
