As you have explained yourself, that would be rather subjective, not quite the average.

If “Tracy” were on your team, how would you handle her? Think of this as online management certification training

Did you actually read the entire article? She was moved to a different department where has been a valuable asset for 8 years.

Before reading the conclusion I voted to get to the bottom of the issue and give her another chance. So I guess my instincts were good. Everyone deserves a second chance, sometimes it just takes time to figure out what makes a person tick.

Macros have always been popular, first as part of the product, and now as an extension. In response to your feedback we have upgraded the Macros for Visual Studio 2013 extension to be compatible with Visual Studio 2015. You can download the upgraded extension from the Visual Studio Gallery. Macro all the things!

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?

I sure hope they have good test coverage.
Ah, read the article. Seems like they have a good working process. What surprises me is also how simple the process sounds.

Oh yes, care to elaborate?
Which part of the Linux Kernel do you feel fits your characterization?

Let's just pick named semaphores. The Linux implementation is absurd. How about the ACL security model? The poor file i/o support. The lack of unified handles. WaitForMultipleObjects? Then there's the "joy" of running multiple versions of gcc. How about shared library/dependency hell?
Then there's the dev tools. gcc/g++ is great, but GDB is a joke.
Linux fans are among the least critical of Linux. They resembled the three monkeys with hands over eyes, ears and mouth. There is nothing wrong. You don't need anything mentioned (until it's implemented and then suddenly everyone says how great the catch up feature is.)
How many Linux security problems are due to people being so frightened to make any strong criticism of it?

Opera has announced a new power-saving mode for the developer version of its web browser, with the company making the ambitious claim that it can increase a Windows laptop's battery life by up to 50 percent, compared to Google's Chrome. Now I might start thinking about possibly considering downloading it

I can tell from your comment that you don't quite understand the principal. It's one that MicroSloth worked out years ago:
You make the browser so annoying that the user shuts down the system and walks away in disgust. As this technology advances, batteries may never even need to be recharged.

I have better plans, I would use NoWeb browser and it helps me increase the battery timing by over 75%.
 The browser that takes 10 seconds in just starting, and has no sense of "not showing a title message over other applications" is going to increase my battery timing? Good sense of humor, by the way.

The same lawyer who successfully sued Gawker Media over Hulk Hogan’s sex tape has now sued the online publisher again, this time representing the Massachusetts man who claims that he invented e-mail in 1978 at the age of 14. Because that's how you prove you invented something

Everyone knows Charles Babbage[^] invented email in 1824. The first email he sent said, "Lady Ada, come here. I want to see you."
Babbage called his email system, Lotus Notes.
True story.

I thought the Egyptians invented Notes? Isn't that the reason for the hieroglyphics in the login screen?
