A single Project Loon balloon can cover an area the size of Rhode Island. For those not up on "US States as units of measurement", that's about 80km diameter
Besides, I've never forgiven Rhode Island for not being an island.

Would that balloon display the password to authenticate too?

Things have gone horribly wrong with the Department of Labor’s Oracle implementation. Don’t let the same things happen to you. "Welcome to my nightmare. I think you're gonna like it"

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?

Microsoft has a problem. It's a problem they're are working to resolve but it's problem they've had for a while. Product confusion. Because when you think 'reliable, easy communication', you think 'Skype'
As long as you're also thinking, "I need an app that changes its UI with each version"

Thank goodness they are rebranding that. They never do that (Hotmail, LiveMail, Live,Microsoft Drive, LiveDrive, Drive, something else not sure what it's named now).

Oh my, I'm sorry I missed that. I keep forgetting how much they rebrand some stuff. Their "Dropbox" is OneDrive, btw. Which was SkyDrive, and before that Groove. OneDrive for Business on the other hand was SharePoint Workspaces... and maybe it was Groove. One of them was. ugh.

NetMeeting, Windows Messenger, Windows Live Messenger...
...I actually used to use those for chat calls until they dumped us on Skype, which I used once and never again.
Skype rhymes with tripe...notice that?

How would you define good code? This article gives a pseudo-scientific answer to that question after asking a sample of 65 developers that same question. 'Works on my machine' not good enough?

I hope it isn't from the same scientists who did the study on refactoring...

Quote: The sample consists of 65 developers chosen by convenience (applying and having an interview for one of our positions).
So the survey isn't what developers think good code is. It is what developers think interviewers want to hear about good code.

What has TypeScript got going for it that won the Angular team over? Does anyone actually use Dart?

I tried it out, but gave up as soon as I observed different behaviour depending whether running in Dartium or compiled to JavaScript.
