Frankly I don't see what the big deal is. They are just joining a host of other companies like target, home depot, equifax etc... pioneering the next tech disruption. You've heard of the open source community right? Meet the new open data community. What you have is ours, and what we have is everyone elses. Quite frankly I'm surprised they took so long to hop on the bandwagon.

Two organizations founded to help and support developers of free and open-source software have locked horns in public, betraying a long-running quarrel rumbling mostly behind the scenes. "Excuse me. Are you the Judean People's Front?"

After the ensuing bruhaha, the organizations were relabeled and are now known as the open sores community.

Visual Studio is joining Visual Studio Code in offering support for the Language Server Protocol. As an extension author, you can now write Visual Studio extensions that leverage existing language servers to provide a rich editing experience for languages that initially had no native language support in Visual Studio. Not for me, but maybe for you

Well, us old timers enjoy making references to things that the n00b's have no idea what we're talking about.
Hmmm. Maybe that's why the youngin's are always wanting to throw away our work and rewrite it in Python or Ruby.

Box projects a 3D display, tracks your fingers as you interact with it. Because there aren't any other interactive 3D interfaces handy

The new interface takes regular searching out of Cortana's hands. Does that mean it will stop being able to find anything?
Not that Windows search can find anything when I really need it to.

[^]Quote: Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai will reveal plans to his fellow commissioners on Tuesday to fully dismantle the agency's Obama-era net neutrality regulations, people familiar with the plans said, in a major victory for the telecom industry in the long-running policy debate.
The commission will vote on the proposal in December, some seven months after it laid the groundwork for scuttling the rules that require internet service providers like Comcast or AT&T to treat web traffic equally. US Telco's and ISP's continue to funnel millions to their legislative-lap-dogs, as well as offer daily sacrifices of geeks to the gods "Block," and "Throttle."

I've been saying for years what we need to do is to convince Comcrap to be more eviler; let the start violating the crap out of net nuetrality by redirecting foxnews.com to msnbc.com or routing all traffic to it through a 300 baud acoustic coupler in Zambia and the idea that its just an evil democrat plot will evaporate and we'll have bipartisan support to fix it.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

One of the problems with the power grab by the FCC was that the laws originally gave the FTC jurisdiction (and were never really changed.)

The "net neutrality" faction is significantly more evil than its opponents. Its backers want a government agency to block, throttle, monitor, censor, and discriminate internet content in their favor, creating corrupt content monopolies.
Their "net neutrality" stance is an outright lie, and their recent political failure is a free win for ordinary Americans.
