It's hard to stay sane when tech people look at me as if I'm a ugly green monster (I am not green!) because I disable Windows Update in every imaginable way... knowing that I'm saner than most of them (most of the time).

There was also a small bug that when automatic updates and windows indexing service were both enabled then the system would use lots of resources.
Oh I forgot that was a feature not a bug.
I disable both.

Windows App Studio is all about making it as easy as possible to build apps for Windows. Northwinds: Windows 10 edition

A good wind, regardless of direction and enough smoke and the planet Uranus...well you get the idea.

Microsoft today announced developers can now sell their apps in volume to business and education users running Windows 10. Now everyone in the office can crush their candy!

65 percent of HR managers say open-source hiring will increase more than any other part of their business over the next six months. Open sores skills? Not so much.
|
|
|
|
|
What are open-source skills? How are they different from closed-source skills?

I'll translate the corporate speak for you:
"We are too cheap to pay for off the shelf software, or extra developers to code the functionality we need, so we steal borrow utilize as much open source software as we can in our internal systems. Therefore we only want to hire people who already know how to program against those specific software libraries."
Knowledge of data access in general and the pros and cons of ORM's and the situations where they should and shouldn't be used? Who cares! All we need is someone with awesome Hibernate skillz!!

Closed source work doesn't show up on your github resume.
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?

We are excited to announce the preview release of a new, advanced code optimizer for the Visual C++ compiler backend. It provides many improvements for both code size and performance, bringing the optimizer to a new standard of quality expected from a modern native compiler. Rumours that it converts all your C++ code to JavaScript are unfounded

It'd be interesting to see how it stacks up against LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
Probably well. My experience with LLVM as of late is that both gcc and VS 2015 do a better job in all respects (besides performance, clang has been failing on me in really odd ways with C++14 and C++17.)

Unconditional Love, Ignited, Fatal Desire, and Jacked Up are in one bot's library I guess there will be more "heaving", and "throbbing" in my Google results soon

and if one of them is Wuthering Heights then a bucket full of 'ejaculations'.

Well, many people believe Jane Austen novels to be "romance", so if it is "reading" JA it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single search engine in possession of a good database is in search of a good read. I'm half agony, half hope that it will choose good readings... In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My passion for half-quotes will not be repressed.

The .NET Framework Compatibility Diagnostics library is the second tool recently released to help developers gauge compatibility risk when migrating between .NET Framework versions. Remember when we had to worry about versions of DLLs, and the .NET Framework fixed all that?
Yeah. Good times.

Believe it or not, the “possession” of certain numbers could get you into some serious trouble with the law. And now they're coming for you (at least the n% of you in the States)

There is one prime number (an extremely long, unspeakable number)
The Voldemort of numbers.

And I guess the law possesses those numbers.
Does it make the law outlaw ?
Does it make you outlaw if you possess a copy of this law ?

Details are still being finalized, but on July 29th the Get Windows 10 app that facilitates the easy upgrade to Windows 10 will be disabled and eventually removed from PCs worldwide. The silver lining

At first I was going to type "Hallelujah" and ask others to do the same in the various languages available via the CP community.
Then I realized that MicroSloth will probably do something despicable to my system at the same time for not giving in.

Microsoft is reminding everyone today that the free promotion for Windows 10 upgrades is finishing soon. {sarcasm}That should convince people to upgrade {/sarcasm}
Just in case it wasn't obvious.
