All code gets tested eventually - the question is whether or not you feel comfortable allowing your customers to be the first testers.

I was sorely tempted to reply directly to him. His fulsome praise of the article was a major factor in my ralphing all over the place again.
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?

A UK survey suggests that daylight isn't all that -- at least in young people's enlightened minds. Neither is hot water. But they do love the idea of more followers on social media. Mind you, it was done in the UK, so they might not be aware of daylight

The good news: only 14% are total idiots without hope...

Hot water is a fairly recent thing in large parts of the UK too...

Is that what MS do not when they retire tools?

It was a problem that had baffled mathematicians for centuries -- until British professor Andrew Wiles set his mind to it. OK, get started on Fermat's Penultimate Theorem now.

He solved it a long time ago (in the 90's) , but only received his prize today.
Quite a long code review if you ask me!!1

Remember the desktop? It used to be a popular development target, before all the mobile-first, cloud-first and, most recently, Internet-of-Things hype. You mean we haven't all become Cloud/IoT/mobile developers?
Although they do include Web development as "desktop". So, yeah.
|
|
|
|
|
"However, this isn't your traditional Windows or Linux or Mac OS desktop. Rather, it's a platform to present a Web app. (Also, as VisionMobile points out, today that term really means "laptop.")"
Wow. Sounds like the authors last looked at technology in the '60s.

The first Windows 10 builds from the next-wave Redstone development branch are already in the hands of Windows Insiders on the Fast ring - but for some, it's been a slightly frustrating experience so far. What, they thought of new ways to auto-install Win10?

They have updated features made the system behave better and fixed some bugs. Wow... thanks for sharing. I was starting to think MS was pushing updates that degraded the product
The last two patch Tuesdays have finally seen whoever at MS thought that was a good idea pull its collective head out of its cloaca.

Obtaining a company's source code would make it radically easier to find security flaws and vulnerabilities for surveillance and intelligence-gathering operations. We could call it "open" source
