Well the article violates the fundamental principles of Software Development. So the researchers selected a small-scale application (about 4,500 lines of C# code), unless it's a throw away type of software, it's a different matter.
In reality, the refactoring is something which happens in general and that's how we maintain software. How could one refactor the code without even having a knowledge on what they are doing. Are they kidding?

I don't think it's Kent's intention to only post dead serious news here

Whaaaaaaaa?
I thought everything I posted was life-changing, critical information?

Sure you don't want to refactor it?

Ah, that trick doesn't work. (I read that somewhere.)

As that entry was only a few links down, you could have put this discussion onto the relevant story rather than kicking off a whole new thread.

Yet another web site where leaving a comment would require authorising them to hoover my contacts.
I think I'll avoid that.

But 88 percent report of hiring managers report that it's "very difficult" or "somewhat difficult" to find qualified candidates. The only problem: they want the 'free as in beer' employees

That's "qualified" as in "a qualified statement".

In this blog post I’ll walk you through some tips you can use to improve the performance of your debug sessions and include instructions for how you can provide feedback that will help us improve the areas that matter most to you. Debugging? Funny word. What does it mean?

Nothing about conditional breakpoint performance. 
The last time I had to debug something in a hot loop I found that inserting a few lines of code like:
int foo;
if ()
foo = 1;
Was more than an order of magnitude faster than setting a conditional breakpoint.

Ugh — another week, another nasty widespread security bug to worry about. The twist this time: this one has apparently been around since the 90s. "Aaahh Freak out"

This new BitTorrent program makes network file sharing between devices easier than ever. As opposed to all the stuff you usually find on BitTorrent

I use BitTorrent to transfer stuff all of the time.
I blew a colleagues mind the other day when he needed to send me a 150MB PSD file, and was asking me whether it was better to use something like Mega or get some Windows Folder sharing action on the go (in the same office, neither of us had a USB key handy).
I pointed out that he could create a torrent of the file and send me the magnet link, and I could torrent it over the LAN. Doesn't matter if one of us restarts our computer etc (or the connection drops, we have a pretty choppy LAN at the best of times), it will just pick up where it left off.
Literally any time I need to transfer big files from anywhere to anywhere else, I just get BitTorrent on the go and let it work away.
Awesome technology, shame it has a reputation for being only used for copyright infringement!
