The survey obviously did not include Brisingr or Sander !

I'm assuming you've dragged my good name into this (though mis-spelled) -- and I'm not sure why.
I listen to instru-MENTAL jazz. No words here so no fear of me breaking out into song.
I only like to hear professional singers sing (and actually few of them). I do not sing out loud nor do I support any other amateurs to do so.

Sorry, Radevus, I was referring to your evil-twin, Raddeveus
However, I can say, given your stated excellent musical tastes, that you were not included in the so-called study either.
I've removed your name from the post.
cheers, Bill

I got an interesting email today. The author said "I have a problem consuming a .net core class library in a winforms project and can't seem to find a solution." I'm just going out on a limb here, but the .NET branding/naming can be horrid at times
Where 'times' means somewhere between 'far too often' and 'almost always'. Your mileage may vary.
((And I think it's been that way since a 'Softie decided that Exchange was a '.NET server' back in 2000.))

A mathematical problem more than 300 years old gets a formal proof with the help of computer formal verification. Which leads us to my postulation, "Great? I guess?"

As one, doing MCSE once in every two years - it doesn't worth the paper (aluminium strip) it is printed on...
You can take an intense two week and learn, and pass the test - but it proves nothing, especially not experience and knowledge...

I didn't realize MS had brought back the famed Must Consult Someone Else certificate. I'd assumed that set of letters was permanently dead due to the overwhelming amount of sarcasm directed at it.
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?

Well, they resurrected the Must Consult Someone Dead certificate...

For over two decades now, software testing tool vendors have been tempting enterprises with the promise of test automation. How are you going to automate customers finding bugs?
|

All those points are valid, but miss the main one... Test automation can test only those use-cases you had think of, but end users have more creative ways you ever imagine...

This is why mathematics-based technology like TLA+ is going to be big in the future once it matures I believe. Once it does unit testing will only be necessary to ensure the implementation in code adheres to the logical specification.

Technically speaking, Office in the Windows Store is in "preview" -- a Microsoft support article states that "while Office itself is not in preview, Office is using new install and update processes that are in preview." Now people can finally install it!
