I'm sure they'll figure out a way of f***ing it up anyway. Perhaps they will make it a plugin for Silverlight or whatever piece of crap they develop next will be.

One tends to get a bit skeptical/cynical after the line-up of discontinued half-baked frameworks and what not of the past few years!

The goal of the framework is to stay out of the way as much as possible and provide a super-duper-happy-path to all interactions.
Nancy is designed to handle DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, POST, PUT and PATCH requests and provides a simple, elegant, Domain Specific Language (DSL) for returning a response with just a couple of keystrokes, leaving you with more time to focus on the important bits.. your code and your application.

http://blog.chromium.org/2013/04/blink-rendering-engine-for-chromium.html[^]
Quote: Chromium uses a different multi-process architecture than other WebKit-based browsers, and supporting multiple architectures over the years has led to increasing complexity for both the WebKit and Chromium projects. This has slowed down the collective pace of innovation - so today, we are introducing Blink, a new open source rendering engine based on WebKit.
Another rendering engine to support.

So their making another browser engine that is based on another browser engine?

Welcome to our continuing series of Code Project interviews in which we talk to developers about their backgrounds, projects, interests and pet peeves. In this installment we talk to Hal Rottenberg, who claims to not actually be a programmer. We’ll see about that… Hal works at Splunk, where they spelunk machine data.

It doesn’t matter how many pages you’re loading securely or how many padlock icons or vendor certifications you drop on the site, one you start sending auth cookies around insecurely, you’re toast. It’s completely pointless to secure those banking details in transit but then let the auth cookie which can load the financial data back up float around in the clear. That is a very insufficient use of HTTPS indeed. Revisiting the quirks of HTTPS because you're probably doing it wrong.

Idiots. Just idiots.
And I mean the 'developers' (I use that term very loosely here, a better term would be 'script kiddies') of that 'Top Cash Back' site.

Everyone has their own opinions about what Microsoft is doing with Open Source Software, whats working, whats not, that isn’t the point of this post. This is about what I would like to see, and why. What do you think Microsoft could do to improve its standing in the OSS world?

By now, you should begin to see the benefits of using something like Vagrant. I can now create a reproducible enviroment using nothing more than a text file included in the repository of my application. No more “works on my machine”, no more hair pulling.... If you are a Chef fan, Puppet die hard or a simple shell purist, you can provision services with Vagrant. Vagrant works with VirtualBox to simplify VM configuration and deployment.

You need to find a phrase in over 200 files worth of code. Manual searching is not a feasible option. If you are like me you know about grep, but it has always made you nervous. It is so powerful reading the man page was like a tech manual for an engine. Fortunately, getting the benefits of grep with little pain is easy, once you finally figure it out. All man pages should start out with basics like this.

Concurrency: avoid it if you can. If not, then remember that with great power comes great responsibility. These are pretty good lessons to learn. What would you add to this list?

Great one, thanks for sharing. Would like to share my perspective also:
1. Never directly eye technological advances while working. Always have your senses focused on the logic at hand first and then if the current technology does not fit in only then analyze the alternatives. Nobody gets paid for learning new technologies continuously.
2. Sometimes as a programmer you will be in a fix over a feature that you think can be there in the program but considering today's scenario the specifications clearly list that this feature can never be part of the work. In this case it is obvious that you don't have to write in code for this feature but your objective should be to write code in a way that in future this feature really does not become IMPOSSIBLE to code. I can bet on this one I've experienced this situation multiple times.
Hope my experiences that lead me to believe in these facts were not extraordinary

In the common retelling of Apple's history, it was Steve Jobs' and Steve Wozniak's second computer, the Apple II, that launched their fledgling company toward stratospheric growth and financial success. The machine's triumph as a single platform for business software, games, artistic tools -- and more -- set the stage for the later debut of the first Mac, and later OS X and iDevices. What many forget -- or may not even know -- is that when the Apple II was introduced at the inaugural West Coast Computer Faire in April, 1977, it suffered from what, in retrospect, was a glaring shortcoming: It had no disk drive. The inside bits on Paul Laughton's Apple II disk operating system.

The arrival of widespread public Wi-Fi access across London Underground has been broadly welcomed by the general public, particularly those with smartphones and tablets who want to maintain internet access inside stations in order to continue to use their devices.... However, the use of any open, public Wi-Fi connection poses substantial risks to data and device security. The advent of Bluetooth a few years ago saw the growth of Bluejacking, where open Bluetooth connections on handsets were hijacked or bombarded with unwanted messages. Widespread use of Wi-Fi-enabled devices in a small enclosed area such as a Tube platform risks the devices and their related data traffic being targeted by opportunist hackers. Mind the gap... in your networking security.

The fastest growing industry in the US right now, even during this time of slow economic growth, is probably the patent troll protection racket industry. Lawsuits surrounding software patents have more than tripled since 1999.... What does this sound like? Yes, it’s a textbook case of a protection racket. It is organized crime, plain and simple. It is an abuse of the legal system, an abuse of the patent system, and a moral affront. Civilized people don’t pay up. They band together, and fight, and eliminate the problem.

Everybody knows a computer is a machine made of metal and plastic, with microchip cores turning streams of electrons into digital reality. A century from now, though, computers could look quite different. They might be made from neurons and chemical baths, from bacterial colonies and pure light, unrecognizable to our old-fashioned 21st century eyes. Far-fetched? A little bit. But a computer is just a tool for manipulating information. That's not a task wedded to some particular material form. After all, the first computers were people, and many people alive today knew a time when fingernail-sized transistors, each representing a single bit of information, were a great improvement on unreliable vacuum tubes. That slime in the back of your refrigerator may be calculating Pi.

iPad is three years old now, and many tech blogs are writing stories to reflect what has changed. More than 100 million of them have been sold, alongside other popular tablets like the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7. But originally the reception was quite sceptical. Many made the argument that the tablet was "just a big iPod Touch or iPhone"... The funny thing about this argument is that — while the skepticism was misplaced — the core point was true: The iPad is just a big iPhone. Or to put it the other way, the iPhone is just a pocket-sized iPad. The big news here is that the telephony part of a smartphone is not going to matter for much longer.
