I dispute[^] their findings via my extremely accurate and scientific survey.

Developers who want to collaborate more efficiently on coding projects have a new tool to work with, thanks to a partnership between Microsoft and Codenvy. You got your IDE in my version control

Researcher and analysts agree the technology could democratize data tracking. Why wait to get hacked, release it yourself?
I'm just not getting the point, I guess.

You defeat the hackers by pre-emptively exposing yourself publicly...the hackers have nothing left to hack

Microsoft is taking the next steps toward focusing its Most Valuable Professional influencer program on its non-consumer-focused products and services. Bad news for all those MineSweeper MVPs

Today, I’m happy to share that Microsoft is taking its relationship with the Eclipse community to the next level by joining the Eclipse Foundation as a Solutions Member. Joining the Eclipse Foundation enables us to collaborate more closely with the Eclipse community, deliver a great set of tools and services for all development teams, and continuously improve our cloud services, SDKs and tools. I wonder if they can convince them to throw it out and replace it with VS Code (or better yet Community)?

Eclipse fanatics are just as dedicated to their dogfood as we are to Visual Studio's steak and lobster. 
I'd be more interested in them going the other direction, and letting me open a java project with eclipse plugins in VS, and then use VS's code editor and debugger UI.
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?

That would be nice, yes.

Interesting point. Isn't JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA [^] meant to be some kind of Visual Studio for Java (including ReSharper, of course)?

From Juniper to Fortinet and Cisco, a lot of companies have been cited for having shipped products that contain hard-coded passcodes to market which poses security risks to the enterprise. How else am I supposed to connect to random wireless networks?

If you have in your possession a regular inkjet printer, a certain type of compatible ink, and fifteen minutes of spare time, then you could be well on your way to bypassing the biometric security on a smartphone. And here I thought they were 100% unbreakable
Like all the other security mechanisms before them

Just as secure as writing your pin on the wall next to the atm so you don't need to remember it. 
IMO At best they're suitable as a last step for cases where something else is able to provide 90% of a 2FA already. With either your home/work wifi or your smartwatch's bluetooth (if you're drinking that koolaid) as the primary "probably not stolen" indicator.

The short explanation is: the committee failed to achieve consensus that Concepts, as specified in the TS, has attained sufficient implementation and usage experience to be confident in the current design. Basically, the committee did not say “no” to concepts, it said “not yet.” Not coming soon to a compiler near you

Except that it probably will, the proposal wasn't mature enough to make the C++17 standard, with only a single implementation being a major factor, but:
Quote: I’m confident that Concepts, in some form, will be added to C++19/20. I expect all of gcc, Clang, and Visual C++ to be shipping implementations well before the next standard is complete, hopefully within the next year.
If you'll be able to use a beta standard in production code's another issue (and more about risk management than anything technical I suppose).

The only reliable, widely used way to ensure impeccable software quality is to write less software that does less stuff, and then spend eons honing that tiny lot. Obvious statement is obvious (but important to remember)

Human without mistake and Software without bug are near to impossible.

Windows now accounts for a mere 10% of the company’s revenue. You might not have seen this coming, but Microsoft did. Because (of course) it's The Year of Linux
I am nothing if not redundantly repetitive, right?

Well, if someone's hosting Linux VMs on Azure, that's good revenue for Microsoft!

There're lots of elephant droppings in that article;  starting back with the obfuscation that is the MS report itself. 
The breakdown used to write that dreck is:
http://zdnet2.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2016/02/25/9a7158b6-1da2-4fb6-a499-c3c5c845e249/resize/770xauto/409d179d9b08c8b84781f62d84fd42e5/msft-revenue-1601.jpg[^]
Which puts consumer Windows at 10% of MS's revenue. That's not all the money they're getting from Windows (not even close).
You've also got "Windows (VL) and patent licensing". The first half of that category is the copy of Windows on your work computer (unless you work for a small business).
There's also "Server products, cloud services"; which includes whatever Windows server licenses you're using at work, any MS server applications (sql server, exchange, etc), and the azure cloud. The revenue picture for the latter is totally elephanteds all the way down.  MS is throwing in "free" Azure credits into their standard Software Assurance packages now (even if the customer says they don't want it ) and using that to allocate some of the money from the SA agreement to Azure in the hope that at free the business will decide to try it for some experimental greenfield projects at which point it'll start growing on them. (Like a fungus. - Sarcasm courtesy of a former coworker re the Office 2007 ribbon.)
At the end of the day the actual amount of money they're getting from Windows is thoroughly obfuscated from everyone including most of MS; but is probably more like a quarter of the total; with office, all MS server products, all consumer products (gaming, surface, windows phone), being similar 15-25% guesstimated segments of the total.
