The future of Microsoft’s smartphone business has been a topic of widespread and increasingly acrimonious discussion for some time now, and a major pain point for Windows and Microsoft enthusiasts. They'll just launch a new (incompatible) attempt later?

Hadi Hariri has made a few observations regarding the churn we’re seeing in the Microsoft open-source space (around .NET Core and ASP.NET Core, among other things). But I don’t think this is a permanent state of affairs; what I think is going on is that Microsoft is finding that managing an open-source project is more than just owning the GitHub repo and just reviewing pull requests. There's open, and then there's open

The founders of Stack Overflow and Trello, Fog Creek, have announced the open beta of HyperDev which is pitched as being the 'fastest' way to develop web applications. Did they recreate FrontPage?

You wish.
No, instead they have what looks like a lame editor for front-end HTML and Javascript, and a backend Javascript server code.
Heaven help me. I will NOT code a server in Javascript!
God only knows how you debug code in this environment.
This looks more like a playground for kids than for real apps. I can't even tell if they support a real database on the back end. Gads, it's like an SSH terminal window with some simple collaboration tools running a VM host.
None-the-less, I did sign up for the beta.

I was skeptical about javascript on the server side (node) before I tried it out. But in the end, a quite complex system was developed on it (millions lines of code, no kidding. OK, the data layer is in C# and most of them are machine generated). It works well so far (see my signature). As a functional thinking guy, I kind of like it now since it is actually very expressive.
I tried to develop a simple data relay server in ASP.NET and node with similar structure, the later feels a lot faster in response.

NASA's attempt at deploying the first inflatable habitat on the International Space Station failed yesterday because the habitat hit some higher-than-expected forces during its expansion, NASA officials said during a press briefing today. Friction: ruining physics since 1687

I don't suppose one of the astronauts could get out and just jump up and down on the thing.
[edit]Never mind, they got it inflated[^] [/edit]

I can think of lots of reasons to delay a video game, and zero reasons to threaten to kill someone because a video game was delayed. Everyone knows you should only make death threats over political opinions

What is WRONG with people?!??! Seriously? Death threats over a F****** VIDEO GAME RELEASE DELAY?!??!?! GET A F****** LIFE, MORONS! THE WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND YOU!
Gawd, I hate people sometimes.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

That's why I don't like people...
Luckily those people are only hardcore with their keyboards.
Contrary to popular belief they have never killed or physically injured anyone (it would require them to get out of their room, besides their mommies wouldn't let them).
Also, they never actually slept with your mother
Now you better have that CodeProject update ready and on time, or else...!

A death threat might be the next step in the Quick Answers forum, after "I need this code ASAP, write my code now!!" .

Death threat from Q to A or from A to Q (I'm guessing both)?

Oracle is dumber than a microwave safe ice cube tray. They are just trying to fear-monger.
Get over it Oracle, you bunch of crybabies.

I've long maintained that the key portions of GPL are indefensible in court, which is why the FSF has avoided going to court by settling.
A quote in the article is truly bizarre:
"Free stuff from Google does not mean free in the sense Richard Stallman ever intended it."
Which should also be modified to state:
"Free, as defined by Richard Stallman, doesn't mean what you think it means [it isn't free at all.]"
[Edit: Richard Stallman's definition of free is: What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine."

Wall Street Journal, May 27, "Facebook Wants to Help Sell Every Ad on the Web" [^]: "Quote: To date, Facebook has only showed ads across its Audience Network to Facebook users, targeted based on information the company has collected about its users’ tastes and behaviors. Now Facebook plans to collect information about all Internet users, through “like” buttons and other pieces of code present on Web pages across the Internet. It will then use the information it collects to target ads to non-Facebook users. "Surely ... not moi !
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008
