As much as I despise young people (purely from a green-eyed perspective, of course), it should be pointed out that the report refers to junior staff and does not mention age at any point.
This is seriously poor reporting from Beta - I would expect better of them.
Slogans aren't solutions.

With all these smart devices, IoT, hotspots, etc., I think it's time we create an underground mesh network that isn't controlled by evil powers. Until, that is, it is controlled by evil powers.

Microsoft is enabling Windows users who buy Windows 10 Enterprise as a subscription service from its cloud partners to upgrade from Windows 7 or 8.1 for free. Do we have to make them beg before we install it?

Hunh?
So it's free if they pay a subscription?
Talk about creative accounting.

If you've ever dealt with Microsoft (or Oracle's or anyone's) "enterprise" plans, you know it's more complicated than that. Though "nightmare" needs to be worked in that statement somehow.

The creator of C++ sees concepts in generic programming as key to more efficient, reliable code Coming soon: a generic program to replace all others
|
|
|
|
|
Can't wait for concepts to be fully fleshed out. My first time writing templates I was baffled that I was unable to tell the compiler that T must be a subclass of SomeClass.
|
|

Quote: Stroustrup recalls what he had had in mind: “I wanted three properties for templates: full generality/expressiveness, zero overhead compared to hand coding [and] well-specified interfaces.”
But no one could figure out how to get all three, so C++ ended up with Turing completeness and better-than-hand-coding performance but lousy interfaces -- basically compile-time duck typing, in which a function accepts any type that has the properties that the implementation happens to use, instead of checking types in interfaces. This situation can result in complicated code.
The article could be a bit clearer in places. Are Concepts achieving all 3 properties, or is it giving an alternative to templates similar to C#/Java generics: less powerful but much easier to use? The article implies the former; but never states it explicitly.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Concepts will be used in conjunction with templates. Think of them as Generic Constraints for templates. Here's an example of a concept usage:
template <class T, class U>
concept bool Derived = std::is_base_of<U, T>::value {
}

No surprise there...
Telerik's packages became large and complicated and slow over years... And I didn't talked about their code...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

as a result of reduced future growth expectations
So they're laying of 20% because of "expectations" of basically something that is a complete vapor-value, namely share value.
And yet:
Yogesh Gupta, CEO at Progress, said: "I am pleased with our earnings per share and adjusted free cash flow performance during the quarter despite revenue falling short of our goals. Initiatives undertaken during the quarter to manage our expenses allowed us to reach this outcome. I am excited by the opportunities we have in front of us, and look forward to what we can accomplish in 2017 and beyond."
Yeah, except for 450 people.
Funny, where I live, Yogesh is a gastroenterologist. Puns omitted.

I thought Telerik was the super-star, well-run, profitable component vendor in an industry full of declining failures struggling to stay alive. If they're losing, then who's winning?

Hmmm... is this the same Progress that used to offer a 4GL database back in the day?
