The visible universe just shrunk by 320 million light-years in all directions, updating a famous calculation that physicists first made 13 years ago. It actually ends just past the moon

Microsoft looks to be building a Visual Studio-like tool suite for machine learning called Open Mind Studio. "Minds are like parachutes: they only function when open."

Overall, the Electronic Frontier foundation finds that the free Windows 10 Upgrade violated the two key areas of user choice and user privacy. I'm glad they're on the case: no one else has been saying anything about Win10

I'm especially happy about how rapid and timely their response was. 
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?

There's a lot of little tricks in Visual Studio that even the most seasoned developers sometimes miss. It might save you the time of going to UserVoice to request it
That map mode for the scrollbar looks like it might be fun and/or useful

Just tried that. Not bad.
Also, like the "Move lines of text with ALT+<UP> and ALT+<DOWN> keys. Quite cool.

Ditto. Never knew about those. Quick launch seems helpful too.

I use quick launch often. Really handy. The way find works now is different to say VS 2008 and 2010. Ctrl + I used to be really helpful in those days.
BTW, from the comments section:

Because no matter how much confident/aware/correct you are in what you are doing, it will tell you you are wrong. IMHO, resharper is evil.

Cheaper, easier, faster, safer -- sometimes bad habits are better than good enough. To some measure of "work"

There is no such thing. You get what you paid. Everyone can do decent code with allocated project time delivery. The shorter the time, the higher buggy code(app).

This is the only point which is truly bad and it's really bad. I recently worked on some code which was nothing but "quick and dirty" and it was a nightmare.

I got to use the "pick any two" yesterday. A requirements meeting where they are exploring edge cases and someone bitched about the time an expense it was taking. To my astonishment the PM had never heard of it!

FYFY. Just because experience means we've already done so many of the bad ideas that occur to kids who don't know any better doesn't mean we're immune to occasional attacks of stupid.

Over the past year, Microsoft has pitched a new and better environment for PC gaming that includes the use of Windows 10 as its catalyst. Odds are you will not pass go, you will not collect $200

Intel today introduced a new chip module it calls Joule, a tiny board for developers designed to bring powerful computer vision technology to cheap and easy-to-make prototypes. I see what you did there

Microsoft says a fix is in the works, offers temporary workaround that isn't very feasible. That's just the "thank you" for installing

The only issue I had was the coincidence of Firefox going "full HTML5", which is causing all sorts of grief with video.
