I made a very primitive web page about 15 years ago and I use it to hold my most frequently used bookmarks so I can easily transport them from machine to machine. It has worked without issue since that time on every browser I have tried it with. That is, with the exception of Edge. It does not display the page correctly. This page has no scripting or anything special. It has a couple of images, a background image, and some links and that's it - about as primitive as possible. Somehow, the latest and greatest browser from Redmond can't handle it. Oh well. I have alternatives.

This means that unless a website has an HTML5 content player, the Flash content won’t display. Users will have to enable it manually on a site-by-site basis. "Don't push me, 'cause I'm close to the edge. I'm trying not to lose my head"

Anyone on MS Edge would feel like that.

One reason I stopped using Chrome is that HTML5 was really slow on my system, used lots of memory and chewed up a lot of CPU. Has it improved any?
|

Well, you pretty much just described Chrome itself.
They have been getting better. Version 55[^] was their most recent cleanup. It's currently sitting on 194MB of RAM on my machine (9 open tabs), which I *think* is lower than I used to see it.
Unhelpfully yours...

Most developers think that the work they do at work belongs to their employer, but anything they work on at home or on their own time is theirs. This is wrong enough to be dangerous. "Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull."

Specially if it is somehow related to your work at the company and can be "included" in the patent or secrecy agreement of the company. Or you are using their resources (laptop knowledge center...) or...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I’m excited to announce that the 3rd edition of “Effective C#” is coming out this month. Just in time for a Christmas gift for that developer on your list. Who wouldn't want to be effective?

The 2nd edition was profoundly affective, so I read it a second time. No wonder they call it "Effective C#."

Employees have poor security practices and use completely unsecured private devices for work, putting their organizations at huge risk of cyber-attacks, a new report by WinMagic says. We should get rid of them all!

We frequently encounter organizations where DevOps and Continuous Integration are anathema to many within, are considered overhyped buzzwords from consultants and vendors or, most frequently, simply do not apply to their organization in meaningful way. We'll follow this up with "Overcoming DevOps adoption"

They had a fairly hefty legacy codebase and didn’t want to overtax the folks working on it. “We know our codebase has X lines of code, so how many developers comprise an ideally staffed team?” Two gills? A rod and a half? A (metric) mina?

Because, "Many developers are seeing the value of the new Windows 10 app packaging technology". Yeah.

Microsoft PowerShell is becoming a haven for malicious code, with a 95.4 per cent rise in malware instances, according to Symantec. If you lock them out of using BAT files, what do you expect them to do?

The Inquirer: MICROSOFT POWERSHELL is becoming a haven for malicious code, with a 95.4 per cent rise in malware instances, according to Symantec
Within the first sentence the title of this article is proven to be click-bait by recasting a trending rise into a total instance.
Further reading shows that the author likely doesn't know what Powershell is or what it does.
I'm a bit disappointed: what business did this drek have in my morning news?
Still nothing but love, Kent.
