You know the face: the frowning, skeptical expression you assume unconsciously upon hearing something you disagree with. It’s not just you, nor is it just a tic of the culture in which you operate.

Today we’re making a new extension available that enables C++ development in Visual Studio for Linux. With this extension you can author C++ code for Linux servers, desktops and devices. "I'm going off the rails on a crazy train"

I'm certainly intrigued. Mostly by the idea of being able to debug code from an IDE instead of with GDP on the command line.

According to the American Civil Liberties Union, the US government has cited the All Writs Act in 63 cases since 2008 to compel Apple or Google to assist in accessing data stored on an iPhone or Android device. Just as they did in 1789 for yePhone

Mistaken, ye are.
The yePhone, manufactured by HearYe-HearYe Systems, Inc., didn't come out until late 1792.

Ever since Microsoft launched its Xbox One console, the company promised it would allow any developer to develop apps for it — but until now, you needed access to the Xbox One dev kit before you could. But dear, it's for work!

There were not a lot of Windows Phones at BUILD 2016, not in the presentation or in the hands of Microsoft staff or attendees. 'Ouch', says the Windows Phone team (and that one Lumia user)
|

One of the more exciting things announced during Microsoft’s Build 2016 was just how easy it can be for developers to move their desktop Windows (Win32) apps over to the Universal Windows Platform. I wonder what would happen if you run the XP source code through it?

And that's the point at which they lost me.
Until we get the ability to deploy UWP apps to our customer's computers as easily as we can deploy proper applications - and without paying Microsoft for the privilege of doing it - UWP is a non-starter.

Yup. Microsoft is turning itself into a big plastic Apple.

Unlike in Win 8, you can freely sideload apps in win 10.

It's a step in the right direction, but it's still not as simple as the "copy files to a UNC path and run the exe" method of deploying regular applications.

It still looks less painful than writing an installshield.

Why would anyone in their right mind want to do that?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I see your point, but consider also we've few choices to avoid that.
First off, although many users wish to stick to Win-less-than-10, the pressure is everyday greater. As developer, I found many troubles (still have) on supporting older OSes than newer ones.
Secondly, it seems they adding new features (yet interesting) on the newest platforms, and that's reasonable. If you may afford to ship your apps/services without those news, then...yes, avoid any further upgrade.

JavaScript's standard library could eventually grow to reduce reliance on third-party packages -- but it'll happen slowly, says Eich. Everyone just downloads jQuery anyway

If the standard library were just part of the browser environment no "downloading" would be required except when the browser needs to update. It would just be another reason to update.
