There are two reasons that I don't use Code:
1) I've never really found a use for it.
2) I don't like the logo.
The more I think about it, the second is obviously more important than the first.

Choosing a code repository is an important decision. But how can a team make that choice? Subversion?

Yet another "article" written to fill space. Would have been more useful if it mentioned lesser-known services, like Microsoft, Unfuddle or even, gasp, SourceForge.
(I keep meaning to put some projects on Microsoft, but have so far found that simply archiving my personal projects periodically and keeping the latest/greatest on OneDrive is sufficient.)

As long as my code is on the public servers of a proprietary company where I have no control over it and it will all go if the company folds tomorrow or will be public if the company is hacked, I don't really care which of those repos I use.

That's why I use magnets to keep all of my backup floppies attached to the side of my metal filing cabinet.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

The irony of that is, I really don't give a rats arse what the repo is, it's the client-side tools / VS integration that matters.

Agents at the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have been unable to extract data from nearly 7,000 mobile devices they have tried to access, the agency's director has said. Or: Encryption works. News at 11.

A new policy limits data requests that prevent companies from telling customers. Sorry, slow news day
|

It's a shame this is being framed as slow filler news, because this is a pretty immense f'n deal. The DOJ has been swinging their stick with reckless abandon for too long, and this is a big win for consumers driven by industry leaders. Hopefully the momentum will continue and the ECPA will get updated ... oh wait, that requires Congress to do something useful. At least celebrate this one victory, then.

Paving the way for transforming the world's measurement system, an international task force has determined updated values for four fundamental constants of nature. Uh... {b}constant{/b}?
15 parts per billion change on the Planck constant? If I understood it, I'd be outraged!

The thin, rubbery sensor can be programmed to control everything from computers to TVs. Anything?
|
|
|
|
|
The iSoft sensor is made of a "piezoresistive" carbon-filled silicone rubber, which when touched changes electrical resistance to provide sensing data. Meanwhile, an algorithm allows the sensor to continuously interact with interfaces even while it's being stretched or deformed.
I predict an offshoot to an existing entertainment industry.

Developers already have access to a number of tools that let them see how real-world users experience their websites, but until now they weren't able to see how their website user experience compared to others. Add more orange?

Google wants to help developers make better websites
Greenfield the whole thing. Throw out HTML, CSS, Javascript, every MVM framework (yes, that means you, Angular), don't let corporations architect the new web and don't let open source people touch it.
I guess that pretty much leaves nobody.

Nearly all big tech companies have an artificial intelligence project,
and they are willing to pay experts millions of dollars to help get it done. How about for the even more scarce, "Natural Intelligence" talent?

A Dutch family has sold virtually all they own, including a business, their home, two cars and a motorbike and invested the takings in bitcoin just as the virtual currency is soaring to new heights. What's Dutch for, "Daddy needs a new pair of shoes"?

I just did something similar! I sold everything and bought 733048 lottery tickets. I expect to be a multi-millionaire by Wednesday night, but I'll probably parlay all of the winnings into next week's lottery and be even richer!

Tulips were in a bubble; demand was already saturated while supplies kept growing. In the case of BC, it is not yet even a mainstream thing - the demand may actually grow if it can be used in more places to pay for something.
Meaning it has quite some room to grow in the current conditions. With all the fiat-currencies devaluing over time, crypto-currencies don't have an inflation-target, and is hence a theoretical better store of value.
