Hey! They were big numbers, so I haven't finished counting, yet!
Why focus on lazy buggers, who couldn't take the pace, and jumped ship?

Tea drinking reduces the risk of cognitive impairment in older persons by 50 per cent and as much as 86 per cent for those who are genetically at risk of Alzheimer's, new research suggests. Because there is good news for non-coffee drinkers too

Unfortunately in my case I may be too far gone to be saved - I keep making cups of tea and then forgetting to drink them, only to find them on the kitchen counter several hours later cold.

Wow, recently Coffee, Tea and Pints have all been declared beneficial. At this rate, I fully expect to hear of the health benefits of smoking and my entire life style will be justified.

The Angular development team is announcing a major release to its mobile and desktop development framework. Because having a version 3 has never worked for others
|
|
|
|
|
Something entirely wrong here... Angular team stated they use semantic versioning... So changing the major version manes breaking changes...
So either:
1. Angular do not know what semantic versioning is and they use it because it is so fancy...
2. There are actual breaking changes (and will be in 5 and 6), but they not even know what they are...
3. They only create a platform to be able to deny support to 1 and 2 (and 4 and 5) in a faster way...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

So I'm officially out at this point. I'm not a fan of the way Angular2 doesn't provide vanilla JS support, or how it presupposes a tool-chain, and the confusion from the framework developers is just going to make everything worse moving forward.
I'm looking at React, but have the same issue with the tool-chain.
So I guess I stay with NG1 (NG Classic?)

Quick, someone tell Gabe Newell about this strategy.

All that remains for C++17 now is some ISO red tape and minor touch-up to get it officially published, which is expected to be just mechanical. Travel to Hawaii for a "standards meeting". Life is hard.

It's the software-world equivalent of a "sanitation engineer", who carries out trashcans full of smelly, disgusting code, and buries it in a landfill.
Let's see someone try to call themselves that in Canada, eh?

Don't know about elsewhere, but at our company, the QA Analyst is someone who can write the documentation and open a browser and click the right places and fill in values, and make sure the output is what's expected.
The QA Engineer is someone who scripts and automates that stuff using Selenium, and can also use script-based tools to do load and regression testing of REST services. The QAA doesn't even know what a REST service is, let alone be able to script a load test for one.

Gosh. I am in the 17.2 and 7.5. That's really depressing.

17.2 and 7.5 (and 28.9 (desktop) and 23.0 (mobile)) for me. Odd that they seemed to have lumped back end (server side) development into "Other".

In a severe rebuke of one of the biggest suppliers of HTTPS credentials, Google Chrome developers announced plans to drastically restrict transport layer security certificates sold by Symantec-owned issuers following the discovery they have allegedly mis-issued more than 30,000 certificates. I am the gatekeeper, are you the keymaster?
OK, not a direct quote, but I hope you get the idea I was going for.
