Broken code is easily detectable. Here is the malicious idea that's only picked up if you check for the character set: two variables named the same except for a non printing character. Passes tests, works, just a hidden trip line left behind.
Here's a fun character set I encountered last year: full width characters. http://www.linkstrasse.de/en/ï½ï½ï½OEï½OEï½--ï½ï½ï½"ï½ï¼ï½fï½ï½Zï½-ï½...ï½'ï½"ï½...ï½'. These differences would be almost invisible as well
Flash drives me crazy. Financial sites like to use it for graphs and charts and I can't install it on my Samsung tablet. Yes I know there are tricks with alternate browsers etc but I bought a damn tablet to be easy. Most of these sites have apps, but almost inevitably they are less full featured than the website.
Not sure why that's related. There's just a security setting to allow our disallow installing apks. You need to load the amazon prime video app that route, since they have shitty app store and don't want to be on Google's. Or install their app store as an apk, and then download prime video from there. My old HTC had amazon store preinstalled but none of my other phones did
We get this crap all the time. Seriously got one from two weeks ago telling us GET requests are insecure and we should rewrite our site to remove them. No thanks guys.

There are 1 billion people in china who cannot access google at all.
I honestly didn't realize the situation there was so bad until we had a Chinese customer and they couldn't use our forgot password page because the captcha wouldn't even render.
This is US centric thinking. In china you can't get to Google play store, so you get software from your phone manufacturer. It's like every vendor runs their own store already. That's a billion person market where Android vs tizen is irrelevant.

Conglomerates were a huge American company strategy decades ago. The expected cross brand synergy almost never developed and investors soured on them, and most fell apart.
And I wouldn't mind if kindle unlimited were flooded with bad books if I could rely on the public to review the bad books as bad. But the market is flooded with bad books rated 5 star by bad readers.
It affects the jit compiler, so could affect things like code with generics. I have no idea if that's the kind of code in a graphics driver, but I'd hope everything there would be designed to avoid jit compilation.
Why not? I run a 'datacenter on a vm' type of vm. SQL server, MySQL, postgresql, rabbitMQ, Couchbase, IIS, visual studio, elasticSearch/kibana, and tomcat and eclipse for the java app another team maintains. Runs fine with 6.5 gb of ram
Only 4.5.2 and one flavor of 3.x (and of course 4.6) will be supported come January. Makes me wish nuget had an option to only pull packages for supported frameworks, I think that's all on the package maintainer today

So it was baked into SQL Server since the beginning

Microsoft at one point came out with 'web pages'. The name instantly doomed it. You couldn't search for it at all

Why is everyone surprised about this? Microsoft was successfully sued for their jvm ages ago.

Beautiful story, made my morning

Http2 support in IIS is only available on windows 10
Edge is ie with all the crusty code needed for old version compatibility/quirks mode removed, or it started off as that at least

Yes, as long as you're just playing with this in dev. I'm assuming you're not going to deploy to prod on a week old framework

Jan 2016 will kill IE7 and IE8.
Apparently Microsoft is not doing a good job of getting the message out.
After Jan. 12, 2016, Microsoft will support IE9 only on Windows Vista, IE10 only on Windows Server 2012, and IE11 on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
IE7 and IE8 will drop off support completely, no matter what OS they run on.
Good motivator to migrate :)
Only 4.5.2 and one flavor of 3.x (and of course 4.6) will be supported come January. Makes me wish nuget had an option to only pull packages for supported frameworks, I think that's all on the package maintainer today
Vs 2010 becomes unsupported soon, as does .net 4.5.1. Only 4.5.2 (in the 4.x family) and vs 2012/2013 will be supported starting in January
I moved to the Seattle area to get away from diversity in part.
