Continuing on that promise, and to celebrate our presence at OSCON 2014, we are delighted to announce support for another popular OSS technology - CMake. Sorry, I've got nothing funny to say about make tools. Is it even possible?

To Make or not to Make, that is the question. For the aspiring programming artist, the former is always the affirmative. Now with ever more options (and possibly a fork or two)...

$300 "Sharks Cove" board with Intel Atom CPU targeted at Windows developers. Not _that_ much smaller than micro ITX, but here you go

At $300 a pop I don't know many developers that will put out the dough for one of these compared to the Pi or BBB at < $50.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Yeah, I looked at that and saw little other than, "not very cheap SFF PC" (that you'd have to have a non-standard case for), but I figured I was missing something.

For a few centimeters and dollars more you'd have a full PC.

Bit overpriced...can we just get the board for $40 and put an AMD chip on it instead?

As I originally commented there (slightly reworded and expanded):
Looking at the menagerie of headers on that thing: Whatever marketing claims, it's clear that the real intent was to create something that could be used for early phase prototyping by anyone who wanted to make an x86 embedded system before spending money on a custom board design that had the minimal set of sensors/controllers/etc that they needed for their production system or that could be used for production runs small enough that a custom x86 embedded board would be more expensive than a kitchen sink model.
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?

The tour takes in patio views of the main campus, Andrews office, the Microsoft Build Lab’s and has the crew showing off some of the Windows NT 3.1, 4.0 and 2000 plaques and team photos. Loads of high-speed walking, but an interesting look inside one of the older buildings with history a'plenty

Defrag tools is generally a pretty good show for those doing trouble shooting.
The last few episodes was dealing with creating a debugger extension in C or C++ ,they still have more to go to complete the extension.

2015 might not be a big hiring year for IT as more companies focus resources on the cloud. But there is also some good news, including the latest on IT spending, according to a new report. Maybe dress up as a cloud for your next job interview?

Bug in open source analytics app may have compromised other services, too. See? Clouds make everything better.

Pivotal's Matt Stine, who was raised on Java, has become an advocate for the Google-built Go language. Well that's it - one developer switched. Java's over.

One of the new features introduced during the Build conference is a converged Windows Runtime on Windows Phone 8.1, opening the way to “universal Windows apps.” In this post I’d like to share my first experience with universal Windows apps, their structure and possible future.

Sorry, but there's nothing "new" to see here. The importance of responsive UI's was already stressed years ago.
It's noisy clickbait.

SDTimes has never published anything that wasn't clickbait drek. While their average quality might not be as abysmal as Infoworld; the latter publishes at least on article worth reading each week.

This is largely common sense already, but I still frequently run into people who don't know how dangerous this is or how to properly store user credentials. It should go without saying, but it's worth repeating

It's preaching to the choir. People who store passwords are unlikely to read about best development practices.
