Quote: While this shouldn’t be such a massive issue for most on account of the long time that IE11 and Microsoft Edge have been out there, it’s still a shame that people are being shoved out of their browser of choice.
You know what's even more of a shame? That anyone is still using IE9/10 at all.

You use what you can. Many places don't allow different browsers or updates.

Diagnosis confirmed.
I must develop with VS6. That is my reaction usually (mitigated when I try VS 2012 and 2015 on a side machine and find them so terrible and unusable that I thank for not having to use them. Possibly more than 2 GB of RAM would ease the usability but hey, those are the instruments the Company gives me...)

Recent Intel x86 processors implement a secret, powerful control mechanism that runs on a separate chip that no one is allowed to audit or examine. When these are eventually compromised, they'll expose all affected systems to nearly unkillable, undetectable rootkit attacks. Hardware recursion?

We are excited to announce that since then we’ve released a new version of the desktop app converter, adding support for great new features and fixing several issues to provide a more stable environment. Because management might ask for this sooner or later

By the end of the migration its a fully universal app that should be able to run anywhere (ie on WP10 or your XBone).
For most apps I suspect the stopping point would be better integrating with the w10 start menu. (ie not looking like puke if a user tries pinning it as a tile.)

Another day, another zero-day vulnerability discovered in Flash - one that’s actively being exploited in the wild. The company hasn’t yet released a patch but it’s promising to do so this week. Just confirming that we're still living in the real world. They didn't switch us out to a simulation.
Unless the simulation is running in Flash?!
I'll be in the corner if anyone needs me.

In a lovely demonstration of light's quantum effects, physicists in the UK have just mixed a molecule with light at room temperature for the first time ever. So.... they left something on the window ledge?

They mixed it, so there must have been a bowl involved.

The US broadband industry has lost its lawsuit attempting to overturn the Federal Communications Commission's net neutrality rules and the related reclassification of Internet service providers as common carriers. I'm sure that will settle things from now on

If it’s not already, Scala deserves a place at or near the top of your to-learn list — something I saw definitive evidence of last fall when I was coming off a post-doc position and considering leaving academia for the tech industry. You mean they're remaking that Eddie Murphy film?

I read What is Scala[^] and I wondered...
What's the point? What can it do that C# can't? Why should I use it when my C# (or my Java since it seems to want to compete with Java) is perfectly fine?
It does't look like a develper language (from the web site) so who is the target audience of Scala?
Overall... Meh...

My sentiments exactly.
I love OOP as it is in C++, C#, Java. These kids and their darned new languages.
Then I think, wait do I sound like those devs when I was starting out who would say things like,
"What do you need OOP for anyways? C is perfectly fine without it. I've got functions. These kids and their new languages."
And when those C guys were learning languages the older devs would say to them:
"What do you need all that high-level stuff for anyways? Assembler is just fine : mov ax, 4. These kids are so weak these days."
And before that, the older devs would say,
"These darn kids and their Assembler. All you need is 01010001 00110101"
It makes you wonder about it all.
