Answering to a question during Reddit AmA, Microsoft founder Bill Gates revealed the project he has been working at Microsoft for the past few years. BOB 2.0?
Actually, it almost sounds like it.

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Donate them to Arkahm? Or maybe open a restaurant for zombies?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Wow, he's really aged in the last few years.
He is working on a personal agent which will remember everything and help you go back and find things and help you pick what things to pay attention to.
Well, I guess he'll be putting it to good use. Maybe it'll be called "Little Alzhei Helper 1.0" ?

This is the first design meeting for the version of C# coming after C# 6. We shall colloquially refer to it as C# 7. The meeting focused on setting the stage for the design process and homing in on major themes and features. That is transparency in action
"Anyone can put a feature idea up as an issue on GitHub. We'll keep an eye on those, and use them as input to language design."

How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

Amazon WorkMail falls under the Amazon Web Services umbrella, suggesting more of a back-end approach into the collaboration software space. Now have they run out of things to sell?

Ask any programmer and they’ll be able to tell you what time of the day (or night) they’re most productive. As tech employers grow more and more tolerant to alternative work routines, studies are showing that ‘night owl’ developers are often like nocturnal predators. "Good morning sunshine"

I suspect that it reflects the amount of employment and life history. Night-owling is for the kids.
As a student, I was most productive at night -- because I was in school or working during the day, and the evenings were for homework, including programming. After years of that, the habit can persist even though you may get a day job doing programming. But as you work more years you may find that you accomplish more during the day. And, if you're married with kids, the evenings may be totally "unproductive".
On the other hand, the work day may get interrupted by meetings and such.
I still use occasional evenings for personal/hobby projects, but not for work.

4 am to 8 am is my best time. I can work double then. Anything later is very unproductive due to meetings and thinking about needing to head home and take care of the family.
Of course, 4 - 8 am isn't sustainable for more than a few days at a time.

I suspect that research was done by early-risers.
Also, they didn't mention anything about productivity.
To paraphrase, they said "morning people happy and healthy while night people are psychopaths" or something like that.

They also admitted that the reason us night owls are biting their heads off is that the $)(#@!*$ early birds are dragging us out of bed before we can get enough sleep.
Given the choice I'd like to work 11-7 or noon-8.
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?

All I can say is that JaxEnter have managed to take a piece of research and horribly generalise it to areas the study itself didn't study.
1. The study only dealt with young adults.
2. The study had f-all to do with programmers, or productivity.
Its the developer's blog equivalent of a Daily Mail headline.

With a useful build of OneGet making an appearance in the Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926+) I thought it was a good time to stop and catch y'all up on what the heck is goin' on. apt-get search Where'd-they-get-that-idea?

OneGet uses camelCase not snake-case.
They're completely different

The slow death of Adobe Flash has been hastened — YouTube, which used the platform as the standard way to play its videos, has dumped Flash in favor of HTML5 for its default web player. So my sole reason for installing Flash is now Kongregate
