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?

for cross-platform Native App Development with flexible Cloud services and broad IoT connectivity
Just look at the buzzwords. It's aimed squarely at attracting PHBs, who would then push it onto their minions to write cross-platform-native-cloud-flexible-IOT-app thing with Delphi.

Still overpriced though.

I cut my teeth on this language. Version 6. I actually think the language is very good, and was way ahead of its time 15-20 years ago. IMHO, Anders Hejlsberg is a genius with languages and it shows in C# today.

Breakthrough Starshot is one of the more exciting scientific ideas that has popped up in the past decade, with its promise to deliver hardware to the nearest star in time for many people currently alive to see it. How bad can it be? The Enterprise does it all the time.

It would be great if we achieve this relatively soon. I remember reading about possible planets in the habitable zone within 10-20 light years. Would be cool if we could have data from out neighbour solar systems within a few generations.
We will need a quantum entanglement communication device so that we don't have to wait 100years for a probe to make a one way trip and then another 100years for it to return.

Quantum entanglement does not and cannot transmit information. So yes, you're stuck waiting.

It will be powered with dilithium crystals I suppose. Or magic. Perhaps unicorn vomit.

If you are into creating sweet UI, then you’re definitely going to want to dig into the new Visual Layer with Windows.UI.Composition. I definitely need to add Gaussian blurs to my next database edit screen.

I'm pretty sure these are intended for Win10 consumer apps not LoB ones because we know those computers won't be upgraded from 7 for a few more years. Oh wait, you're not doing W10 exclusive consumer apps either...

ScaleArc has released the findings of a recent survey that the company says shows that consumer software is seen as more reliable than enterprise software. Even worse news: they considered Skype as reliable
|

Yeah. I also think of "entreprise software" as synonym for crapware.
I think there is a very good reason for that.
End user software come in multiple version. v1, v2, v3... each version getting better.
Enterprise software often come in one single version, kind of rushed, with changing requirement during development phase which screw up initial design and cost cutting exercise....

So they're replacing a declarative syntax with something that:
1) I couldn't find an example of what it looks like after perusing docs and examples
2) It appears that you need the protocol buffer compiler to generate the code that sends/receives the data?
Erm. Doesn't that seem a tad overcomplex?[^]

Protocol buffers are a binary serializer. If they're aiming at the web market now though, I think they need to update their web page[^] to say "why not just xmljson ". I looked at them a few years back to replace the .net binary serializer with something less version brittle; but it got pushed to a next major version that never happened.
