Big deal. Without knowing anything whatsoever about a person, I can predict their gender with 50% accuracy!
From the fact that they have a Twitter account, I can predict whether their IQ is above or below the 50th percentile with almost 100% accuracy!
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Age - don't they get that from the birth date field?
Gender - First, I'm really surprised the liberals allowed this to happen, given the three dozen genders are now available to choose from, and second, technologically, this is an impressive accomplishment given the number of semi-offically recognized genders there are available to pick from.

Developer-focused analyst firm RedMonk, known for publishing one of the leading indices that measure programming language popularity, has noted the growth of Microsoft's TypeScript, stating it's "exploding" in relation to other languages. "Blowed up good. Blowed up real good!"

Quote: Despite TypeScript's encroachment upon the bailiwick of parent JavaScript, Governor concluded "JavaScript is the fittest" language for a number of niches.

An article about a Microsoft technology "exploding" in popularity, from a Microsoft publication... No conflict of interest there...

I've never had a program actually explode. I have had a few that totally bombed, though most just quiot working.

How is this different from a program Asploading?

The update will probably go wrong... as many other already did.

In this post, we’ll take a tour through some of the many improvements, big and small, that have gone into the .NET Core runtime and core libraries in order to make your apps and services leaner and faster. "Hey, buddy, how can I get this car out of second gear?"

I didn't see anything about new icons, or the use of Typescript (it is "eploding", afterall) in conjunction with .Net Core...

They're still optimizing the go faster stripes on the new icons ahead of the big reveal.

Tech support scams have always been a problem, but they typically were located on small web hosting services throughout the world. Researchers have now observed these scams increasingly moving towards the Microsoft Azure cloud platform for ease of deployment and inexpensive web hosting. Yay for "The Cloud"

Finally, someone is calling out Microsoft and their support scams.

When you leave your old job on good terms, you want to ensure a smooth transition to make life easier for your replacement. This succession planning checklist can help you to hand over the reins. Bridges burned? Check!
"When you leave your old job on good terms". That does happen sometimes, right?

I document as I go. You should see the docs included in my MVC5 app project template. Over 30 HTML files, and half a dozen visio docs that describve what the code does, why it does it, and where to find the various components. I do admit to roundly trashing Entity Framework (that took two files). In many of the files, there are almost as many comments as there are lines of code.
Nobody will be able to complain (much) that I didn't document something. I've never been accused of not leaving enough transition documentation behind.

Other than EF, that sounds like a project I might want to inherit.
As opposed to one recent job I inherited, where I had to track down the personal email address of the dev to shake him down for even the passwords he used on the system. I'm assuming that wasn't a "leaving on good terms" example.

At my last job, I left docs for every one of the 200+ SSIS packages I wrote (including the the source file being imported, the parameters sent to the package, and the associated stored procs that executed transform duties, and even the names of the stake holders), and as much as I hated doing it, documented all of the ETL stuff in the 20+ QlickView "apps" I wrote. Docs included docx, vsdx, and xslx docs as well.
I documented as I went, so the two weeks prior to me leaving was simply cleaning up and making sure I had covered everything. I guess I hope that the universe will pay me back in the next job I get (it has yet to happen, though).
