Chrome is departing WebKit as its rendering engine.... The new engine is called Blink. It’s open source and based WebKit.... If their consensus is that Chrome cannot be the best browser it can be with WebKit at its core, I fully trust and support that decision. After all, these folks know how to build browsers. If you think about it some more things start to make sense. The architecture of today’s web browser is dramatically different than it was back in 2001 (when WebKit was designed). Looked at another way, Google just threw out Reader, CalDAV... and its browser engine.

Did you go out of your way to find Google engineers to get their opinion. Why not get Steve Ballmer to pen a piece about how brilliant IE11 is going to be?

There are a couple of reasons why the bubble is sure to burst. The first is just that it’s a bubble, and any chart which looks like the one at the top of this post is bound to end in tears at some point. But there’s a deeper reason, too — which is that bitcoins are an uncomfortable combination of commodity and currency. The commodity value of bitcoins is rooted in their currency value, but the more of a commodity they become, the less useful they are as a currency. The perfect digital currency or the perfect virtual Ponzi scheme?

Get thee to a download URL!
Details at Soma's blog[^] (as someone was kind enough to write for him), download here[^].
Main focus seems to be Agile, Windows Store dev, but there's some other stuff in there like SignalR and Single Page Apps.

I'm sure they'll figure out a way of f***ing it up anyway. Perhaps they will make it a plugin for Silverlight or whatever piece of crap they develop next will be.

One tends to get a bit skeptical/cynical after the line-up of discontinued half-baked frameworks and what not of the past few years!

The goal of the framework is to stay out of the way as much as possible and provide a super-duper-happy-path to all interactions.
Nancy is designed to handle DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, POST, PUT and PATCH requests and provides a simple, elegant, Domain Specific Language (DSL) for returning a response with just a couple of keystrokes, leaving you with more time to focus on the important bits.. your code and your application.

Quote: Chromium uses a different multi-process architecture than other WebKit-based browsers, and supporting multiple architectures over the years has led to increasing complexity for both the WebKit and Chromium projects. This has slowed down the collective pace of innovation - so today, we are introducing Blink, a new open source rendering engine based on WebKit.
Another rendering engine to support.

So their making another browser engine that is based on another browser engine?

Welcome to our continuing series of Code Project interviews in which we talk to developers about their backgrounds, projects, interests and pet peeves. In this installment we talk to Hal Rottenberg, who claims to not actually be a programmer. We’ll see about that… Hal works at Splunk, where they spelunk machine data.

It doesn’t matter how many pages you’re loading securely or how many padlock icons or vendor certifications you drop on the site, one you start sending auth cookies around insecurely, you’re toast. It’s completely pointless to secure those banking details in transit but then let the auth cookie which can load the financial data back up float around in the clear. That is a very insufficient use of HTTPS indeed. Revisiting the quirks of HTTPS because you're probably doing it wrong.

 Idiots. Just idiots.
And I mean the 'developers' (I use that term very loosely here, a better term would be 'script kiddies') of that 'Top Cash Back' site.

Everyone has their own opinions about what Microsoft is doing with Open Source Software, whats working, whats not, that isn’t the point of this post. This is about what I would like to see, and why. What do you think Microsoft could do to improve its standing in the OSS world?

By now, you should begin to see the benefits of using something like Vagrant. I can now create a reproducible enviroment using nothing more than a text file included in the repository of my application. No more “works on my machine”, no more hair pulling.... If you are a Chef fan, Puppet die hard or a simple shell purist, you can provision services with Vagrant. Vagrant works with VirtualBox to simplify VM configuration and deployment.

You need to find a phrase in over 200 files worth of code. Manual searching is not a feasible option. If you are like me you know about grep, but it has always made you nervous. It is so powerful reading the man page was like a tech manual for an engine. Fortunately, getting the benefits of grep with little pain is easy, once you finally figure it out. All man pages should start out with basics like this.

Concurrency: avoid it if you can. If not, then remember that with great power comes great responsibility. These are pretty good lessons to learn. What would you add to this list?

Great one, thanks for sharing. Would like to share my perspective also:
1. Never directly eye technological advances while working. Always have your senses focused on the logic at hand first and then if the current technology does not fit in only then analyze the alternatives. Nobody gets paid for learning new technologies continuously.
2. Sometimes as a programmer you will be in a fix over a feature that you think can be there in the program but considering today's scenario the specifications clearly list that this feature can never be part of the work. In this case it is obvious that you don't have to write in code for this feature but your objective should be to write code in a way that in future this feature really does not become IMPOSSIBLE to code. I can bet on this one I've experienced this situation multiple times.
Hope my experiences that lead me to believe in these facts were not extraordinary
