Microsoft has begun rolling out a new Windows Developer Program for IoT. Through this program we are introducing a new Windows Developer for IoT Portal, with documentation and examples to support the developer kits we are starting to ship in small batches. These developer kits include a Galileo board and preview Windows image that supports the standard Arduino Wiring API set and a subset of Win32 API. This Windows image does not yet support Galileo boards outside of our program. What did we have on the Internet before things?

Provides a new Create GUID command in the Tools menu with a new WPF surface, and featuring code tailored for C# and VB.NET developers to define Guid fields. Also provides editor inline code completions for adding GUIDs, guid fields and guid attributes for C# and VB.NET! Another malicious tool depleting the world of precious Guids!

The first release of LibreSSL portable has been released. LibreSSL can be found in the LibreSSL directory of your favorite OpenBSD mirror.
http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL has it, and other mirrors will soon.
libressl-2.0.0.tar.gz has been tested to build on various versions of Linux, Solaris, Mac OSX, and FreeBSD.
This is intended as an initial release to allow the community to start using and providing feedback. We will be adding support for other platforms as time and resources permit.
It's not the first port out; but may be the first that's safe to use. Most (all?) of the 3rd party attempts ended up with security problems from replacing BSD OS/library functions with replacements that didn't have the same built in security constraints. (ex Zeroize functions that weren't marked to prevent the compiler from optimizing them away, and functions that were vulnerable to timing attacks instead of being constant time.)
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?

Where's the map?
It's broke.
What?! What happened to it?
Well, I rolled it up and set it in my back pocket. You know, just like I've always done with the old-fashioned maps.
Yes, and...?
Then I sat down.

The release of the second CTP for Visual Studio “14” includes several notable features, which while not earthshaking should provide some usability enhancements in various parts of the editor. For those who'd rather read about it, than risk their hard drive to it

In defense of Kent, the first referenced the announcement itself, the second was someone else's writeup of the CTP2. That seems reasonable to me.

In defense of neither of Kent's posts, both InfoQ and SDTimes so called "articles" were nothing but drivel. One reduced it to PHBspeak; the second changed a few words around in the Visual Studio Blog post[^] making it less clear and with a copied content level so high that it would bend the needle on my plagerism-meter if I was foolish enough to try measuring it. In both cases the site in question lived down to the wretched clickbait farm standards I've come to expect from them.

That's true, neither of those organs are known for their quality of reporting.
I'm beginning to wonder if Kent et al. should drop them from their "news sources" feeds altogether.

touch support in a code editor? not sure I'd want to reach up from the keyboard to the screen.

Keyboard? No. Modern programs are expected to run in smart-phone-mode. That is, an all-touch interface. And while you create such programs, you ought to feel like the future user of such programs.

When Microsoft and Google are in the headlines, it is usually related to one of the companies tossing a bit of mud at the other in an attempt to make one look superior. Not today, though, as the two juggernauts are putting down their swords to work together to bring more open source projects to Azure. "Peace for our time."
