The Windows team's migration to Git is almost complete. Big show of support for TFS, folks
Yes, I know you can "do git" through TFS, thanks for letting me know.

I wonder what is the reason behind that a company of the size of Microsoft would use a single rooted, monolithic repository for ALL of the codes of a system?
Even a shop as small as ours uses a forest of git repositories, one for each project, to manage our code files and then developed a forest view manager, which also has a fine grained, project level, access control means if needed, to process common git tasks. Such a manager would be a piece of cake for companies like Microsoft: a lot easier than a GVFS. And it also can provide multiple views into inter-related projects, depending on the use case. It works well for us. Of course one has to structure the projects to not nesting within other ones on the disk, other than that it would be OK for at least a small team. It would be even better if it can be integrated with Visual Studio.
Yeah, there is a TFS project, it's quite interesting. In fact we are initiating a Transaction Storage System TSS for 1-NET (trans-LAN, account scoped virtual network). It would not be as complex as git at the early stage, but as a storage system, I try to make it less monolithic so that it can handle larger file system domains which could be nested within others. It's a work in progress, given the large amount of works already at hand, it is progressing slowly at present ...

IFTTT said the Maker tier is designed to give developers access to more sophisticated tools. IF: give tools THEN: devs use tools?

Someone should tell IFTTT that "if" statements are evil.

By crafting malicious subtitle files for films and TV programmes, which are then downloaded by viewers, attackers can potentially take complete control of any device running the vulnerable platforms. I never did trust those new-fangled "talkies"

A trio of researchers with Columbia University has conducted a series of experiments regarding how much effort people are willing to exert in fact-checking news stories. Best to read this while in a large group

You're alone again, aren't you? Head down to the pub and read it again, it will make more sense.

Naturally, but you must have me confused with someone else.

Nah, just trying to suggest a place where you'll have more company, so you won't fact check the story.

That's a little hard to do when so many just lift the same story from others and pass it down the line and don't double check before publishing.

It always amuses me that people have that many time to waste (and by the way - this research not listed at Columbia University sites)...

That's because in groups, people don't shut up, as they so like to hear their own voice and opinions.
In practice, it should be easy to avoid falling prey to fake news—upon reading something that may not sound right, all a person has to do is type a few words and run a Google search.
Right. Which usually results in more fake news. Getting good results from a search engine is actually difficult, because more often then not, you're inundated with yet more opinion. Finding actual facts is hard work.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Are they fixing it for all supported versions, or only for the most recent standalone and cloud versions?
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?
