Today at NodeSummit, we are delighted to share the first experimental implementation of ChakraCore interpreter and runtime on x64 Linux and OS X 10.9+, along with experimental Node.js with ChakraCore (Node-ChakraCore) on x64 Linux. Now they have another JS engine they can ignore, just like the Windows devs

This is pretty interesting, because there have been times in the past where V8 issues caused problems in Node, but they didn't get fixed quickly because the V8 team was understandably mostly concerned with bugs affecting V8 in Chrome.
So a fast JS runtime with at least semi-official Node support could see some popularity.
And FWIW, I've found TypeScript + Node to result in a decidedly less-than-horrible development experience.

JS++ is built with engineering principles: strong, solid foundations via a type system that can leverage the full JavaScript ecosystem while guaranteeing your types will be correct at both compile and runtime. - See more at: http://sdtimes.com/the-case-for-js-plus-plus/#sthash.zm0FJxCI.dpuf Yet another attempt to fix the unfixable

It looks pretty not bad, but I think TypeScript has stolen what little thunder JS++ might have had.
Now if only Anders would take a break from TypeScript and write a Turbo Pascal to JS compiler...
|
|
|
|

That remains to be seen. TypeScript's "type erasure" vs JS++'s "type guarantee" would be a big reason to use JS++ over TypeScript.

It's certainly possible that JS++ is technically superior. The technically superior solution doesn't always win in the marketplace, though.
I think if I'm looking for a strong type system in a compile-to-JS language, I'd be inclined to use something like Fable.

Fable looks interesting. Thanks for the link!

I don't have a problem with business owners publishing articles promoting their companies product per se; but when they do their affiliation needs to be disclosed at the start of longer articles not at the end.

Cortana, the personal digital assistant that replaced Windows 10’s search function and taps into Bing’s servers to answer your queries with contextual awareness, no longer has an off switch. Other than not installing it, that is

Apparently, you can disable it, though.
I don't know why people are making a stink about this. It's not like Google and Apple and the NSA (and Russia & China) are any different...

I wonder how this works vs in the current W10 release? In the latter I have it disabled as collateral damage from wanting start menu search to be local system only; Because Reasons(wtfm) flipping that switch also disables Cortana from the taskbar search (and everywhere else in the OS). As a result it's the most visible headline feature that I've never even tried.

Asking here because I'm hoping a knowledgeable Win32 developer will know the answer:
Would it be possible to use SetWindowsHookEx to intercept messages to and from the Cortana process and just swallow them so Cortana couldn't actually do anything?
I know this wouldn't be useful if it's still possible to disable Cortana. But sometimes I like to take on little projects that are useless but fun.

If Microsoft fixed it, I'm fine with that. Unfortunately, right now Cortana on the desktop is useless. (Google Voice on Android really isn't much better. Usually, if you ask either to take you to a configuration setting, they'll start a web search.)

Not all that useful on a phone, either. Pops up randomly, if there's a loud enough ambient sound.
And HAS to be turned on in order the Bluetooth-Text Message Reading to work.
Freaking stupid.

Virtualization, cloud data storage, micro-services, the "DevOps" approach to building and running applications, and a number of other factors have significantly changed how organizations store and manage their data. Who else is going to reject your stored proc request?

According to the organization, today about 90% of teams use Scrum, and more than 1 million people have taken the Scrum.org assessments. You know what would help them finish it? Scrum.
90% of teams use it? Have I missed them all?

Yes, they all stopped using agile when they realized it was only ever meant to be a joke...

Out of 6 teams I have worked with claiming to use Scrum only 1 did so . The others just used Scrumfall or some other Fr-agile methodology and lived in total denial . And it was always the same in every case , every case the business refused to step up as Product owner and basically bullied the devs . And this is speaking as someone who has worked as developer , Scrum Master and Dev manager .

While we can all agree agile is better than waterfall development, the iterative methodology has an awful lot of detractors from it's history of misuse. Because we've seen too many other "Silver Bullets"?
