Twitter is what it is. Where else is there for it to go?
Add the ribbon, maybe? The baby-blocks interface?
It's a small idea, and it should stay small, because people won't like it as much if it tries to be what it's not.

In August, Microsoft announced that it was going to change the patching model used by Windows 7 and 8.1—as well as Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, and 2012 R2—to something close to that of Windows 10. Microsoft's revenge?

And so Markie is changing his windows update model for weven and w8 to match his update model for winio.
I.e. completely blocked. You don't need the windows update service to get security updates.

This week marks my final week of working on Android. I’ve had my ups and downs with it, but I’m excited to retire from Google’s mobile platform. And the sea will grant each man new hope, as sleep brings dreams of home

And what will you do then?
Press F1 for help or google it.

I wrote my app on Android, as a WinForm app (C#) then as a UWA (Universal Windows App -- XAML / C#) and now I'm writing it in XCode ala Swift.
I've been a dev on Windows (C++, MFC, VB5.x, 6.x, C#) for over 20 years and the easiest one to get going was obviously the WinForm one and then after that the Android Java app. The tie for most annoying and difficult is UWA and iOS. Although probably the worst really is the iOS app. Ugh! XCode and Swift I'm just not sure about them.
The scene (UIViews) setup is terrible in XCode. I much prefer Android Studio for that.
Actually, the reasons he cites in his rant/article could basically be given for iOS dev also -- just change the names of things he rants about.
Dev Environments & Libraries
All dev environments and APIs are inherently flawed. Many are just more flawed than others.

Apple has been working on some nifty upgrades to its MacBook line, and not just underneath the hood. The biggest feature upgrade could actually be in the keyboard. A new version of Magic Keyboard?

Recently, I have been interviewed over the phone by a Google recruiter. As I qualified for the interview but failed to pass the test, this blog post lists the questions and the expected answers. Though according to one Director of Engineering at Google, they've never seen this test before.

When I was checking links, the blog didn't load. I'm going to leave this here in case it comes back. For now, I've removed it from the newsletter.

I was able to find it by searching and then google's link didn't work either. I read the cached version.
That recruiter is an idiot-bot.

What an amusing interview! With such recruiters, Google creates the proof that some "artificially intelligent" bots are far better suited for the job than any human being.

You mentioned "4 decades" ... you never had a chance. Seven years ago I tweaked my resume to only the most recent stuff (I'm an app developer), just to keep it a simple read. Sent it to Google; made it through a bunch of phone and interactive-screen interviews. They flew me to Mountain View. When they saw my gray hair, it was over.

If true that's just sad. I didn't get the job, but the Google recruiter I worked with earlier this year broke every negative stereotype about them I've seen snarked about on this site over the years.
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?

Many new cars today come with built-in navigation systems, but a lot of frustrated new car owners just use their phones for directions, according to a new survey. Maybe that's because my phone won't withhold directions while I'm in motion.
