I use quick launch often. Really handy. The way find works now is different to say VS 2008 and 2010. Ctrl + I used to be really helpful in those days.
BTW, from the comments section:
Quote: Well, after resharper i don`t care about what features vs has 
Because no matter how much confident/aware/correct you are in what you are doing, it will tell you you are wrong. IMHO, resharper is evil.

Cheaper, easier, faster, safer -- sometimes bad habits are better than good enough. To some measure of "work"

There is no such thing. You get what you paid. Everyone can do decent code with allocated project time delivery. The shorter the time, the higher buggy code(app).

This is the only point which is truly bad and it's really bad. I recently worked on some code which was nothing but "quick and dirty" and it was a nightmare.

I got to use the "pick any two" yesterday. A requirements meeting where they are exploring edge cases and someone bitched about the time an expense it was taking. To my astonishment the PM had never heard of it!

FYFY. Just because experience means we've already done so many of the bad ideas that occur to kids who don't know any better doesn't mean we're immune to occasional attacks of stupid.

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?

Over the past year, Microsoft has pitched a new and better environment for PC gaming that includes the use of Windows 10 as its catalyst. Odds are you will not pass go, you will not collect $200

Intel today introduced a new chip module it calls Joule, a tiny board for developers designed to bring powerful computer vision technology to cheap and easy-to-make prototypes. I see what you did there

Microsoft says a fix is in the works, offers temporary workaround that isn't very feasible. That's just the "thank you" for installing

The only issue I had was the coincidence of Firefox going "full HTML5", which is causing all sorts of grief with video.

The MS part of my update went completely fine. Razer OTOH won itself another Elephanting Sunshine of the Week award.
They're the only company who sells left handed ergonomic mice, so I don't have any real choice about using their products. The issue is that their default appearance is brightly lit and flashy in the tackiest sort of "gamer" way, and in order to save a penny on the BOM there's no onboard storage in the mice themselves so I need to run their crappy cloud based manglement software on every PC I use to turn the lights off after every boot/mouse plugin.  (If I was gaming on multiple PCs and creating complex per game button mappings/macros being able to store them in the cloud would be a useful value add. But I don't and I'm not so it isn't.)
The reason for their dishonor last night was that their software managed to inject installing an updated version of itself into the middle of what was billed as a walk away and let it churn and reboot itself repeatedly upgrade process and sat there requiring me to click an I Agree button before it started doing anything. And while it was probably coincidental timing (I've had more than a few similar problems from other OS/Video driver updates before) the point it injected itself into the process corresponded with the OS updater moving from my main monitor to one of my side ones without realizing that the side monitor was oriented in portrait not landscape mode just to make everything that much more annoying to read and interact with via mouse.

Quote: Microsoft claims the freezing issue is experienced only on computers with SSDs where apps are installed on a different drive than the one where Windows 10 is installed.
Like every PC in this room (14)! And MS really think we will move our software?! Especially those MS software that can not be moved?!
How lucky we are - we have no W10...

SpaceX appears to be betting big on carbon fiber composites, which could increase the capacity of its future rockets to get people and supplies into space—and eventually to the surface of Mars. I wonder how many you get for that kind of cash?
And can you use them to knit a sweater?

Researchers at OpenAI are developing algorithms capable of learning language by reading the Web and controlling robots through practice. In the future, all of it's conversations will be in the form of memes and image macros
An AI that has learned language (and presumably human interaction skills) using Reddit? Yeah, we're doomed.
