There are many changes happening at MS. Since Nadella has been appointed CEO a huge PR operation is in progress. Whatever brings publicity to MS affairs is a good thing, e.g. a 5 yo passing a MS exam.
Languages are not equally accessible. The most popular languages , like PHP, allow many people - almost everybody - to program, whatever their background is, and whatever the outcome (performance, maintenance,...) of the application may be. Among this many people is diluted a rather low percentage made of some good developers who could easily adapt and program in something else, like R or Haskell (they don't do it because they don't need to).
In other words, hire R developers to make better PHP programs.
it's the cook that prepares the food. It's not the camera, it's the photographer that shoots the picture. It's not the racing car, it's the driver that wins the race. It's not the programming language, it's the programmer that creates the application.
Yes but a good cook will do better with a good knife, a good photog will be better with a good camera, and a good programmer will perform better with a well designed language.
This Russian move represents a serious deterioration of the world unity as we knew it, and is likely to affect most of us, directly or indirectly, and more or less severely. Yes I want to read here the various opinions on this crucial topic, moderated the/. way.
I would imagine that there they implemented RFC6532, which involves a lot more than changing a regular expression
So we get sometimes unreadable mails because the encoding of the content is unknown. Then some mails will be rejected because of an encoding problem in the address itself. At least in the first case the mail was received and we had enough time to fix the problem.
For most jobs, an initial scale is used to calculate earnings based on how much time you spent doing that work. The scale itself depends a lot on what you could get somewhere else for the same job. Main actors, like traders and many salesmen earn something more or less directly linked to the expected/realized profit. It happens that for such a show, the profit is huge. Hence the high salary.
2^33 x 2^17 = 2^50... And if winning the lottery is 1 / 2^24 then 1 / 2^49 is much closer to winning the lottery (only) twice in a row, not 2^25 times in a row!
I'm only using Windows to test web applications on older browsers. And it's Windows XP (in VirtualBox). I agree with you that newer does not always mean better. Windows 8 is an example. But I'm on a Mac (latest OS) and my feeling is that Apple is also ( since a couple of years ago ) on a slippery slope. Annoying bugs not fixed, lack of innovation...
Back to XP, the reason I'm glad it disappears - and that explains my parent post - is that I'm writing web applications, and supporting IE < 8 is and has always been a pain. At least from Windows 7, users smoothly upgrade to an earlier version.

It has always been in space, it is the rotational direction where the sun rises.
Don't think though. East is basically Right on the pictures, based on Rosetta (camera) direction.

It took me 3 attempts to pass that exam and now there are 5 year olds who can pass it?
Indeed. You need a mental age of 5 years to pass.
Enhance!
Now, go ahead and mod me down.
Looks like someone is in need of a spanking.
Nadella wants to put some distance between Ballmer and himself. Starting from 10 is a good start (and a new design, new features would also help ...)
Windows 12, Windows 20, Windows 10S, Windows 10.1 ?
Paypal is just trying to survive
just shed a tear...

One thing the Japanese never forget: toilet paper.

One for me too, thanks Annan.
Why would you want to keep a 7 year old application that had 2 downloads?
Because more than 50% of all apps have never been downloaded. This is one of the problems we are trying to solve here.
"Is it time to switch to all IPv6 yet?"
No.
Sure. When most people will have adopted IPv6, we'll have a lot more IPv4 available!
Fortunately JavaScript solved that. These days, programmers type == instead of ===! Progress!
Wow that '===!' must be a new PHP operator

Also, please see jbolden post above.
it's good news for Microsoft
Not only. At least we'll have less and less outdated browsers and insecure machines.
According to the number of posts, the "Museums" ain't reading /. much...
I used CodeWarrior at the time, for some time, and then switched to prc-tools. CW was pretty buggy.
