Oh, don't worry: this just gives them another reason to publish all new! versions.

The charges against Object/Relational mapping (ORM) tools can be summarized in that they are complex, and provide only a leaky abstraction over a relational data store. Their complexity implies a grueling learning curve and often systems using an ORM perform badly - often due to naive interactions with the underlying database. But as you can tell, I want to push back a bit against this ORM hate - because I think a lot of it is unwarranted. If you outlaw ORM, only outlaws will use ORM

He may have had to use VB*, but I think he's smarter than to use an ORM.

So many recent exploits have used Java as their attack vector, you might conclude Java should be shown the exit. You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave.

The purpose of this post is to provide you with an update on the changes we’ve made since beta. I’ve also included a brief summary of the beta feedback that we’ve leveraged in making these updates. Oh look! Colour returns

None of which I use. Not sure about the "etc" part, but I probably don't use those either.
Maybe it's time to look at one of those open source IDE's.

(As commented on the blog, by moi):
I would hope that the SCREAMING menubar is CONFIGURABLE. And how about getting with the 21st century, which would mean exposing the icons in the toolbars, tree controls, etc., so we can have different icons packs and not have to continue PLAYING LIKE CHILDREN with YOUR concept of "energy."
Or is that too COMPLICATED for you BRAINIACS to do with WPF?

Uttering expletives when you hurt yourself is a sensible policy, according to scientists who have shown swearing can help reduce pain. Go ahead: you know you want to

Most people have no idea what the market rate or prevailing wage is for their profession and career level, much less where they fall on the pay scale. I guess asking a mirror is out of the question?

Friggin sweet. I think I'll give all of those a look see.
What's annoying, though, are the varying level of excuses you are given. Excuses you have to show are wrong and which they certainly know are wrong but are used to deter/confuse/placate employees into accepting lower salaries.

The next JavaScript specification is moving towards completion. TC39, the technical committee charged with creating ES.next (also known as ES Harmony, and sometimes ES 6) has already tentatively approved a number of proposals and there are a bunch more straw men awaiting approval. TC39 includes some of the finest minds in JavaScript (not least, Brendan Eich himself) but as Jeremy Ashkenas famously cautioned “JavaScript is too important to be left to the experts”. They need our help. Who will stand up to the experts?

Earlier this year, Professors and CSAIL Principal Investigators Piotr Indyk and Dina Katabi, along with CSAIL graduate students Haitham Hassanieh and Eric Price, announced that they had improved upon the Fourier transform, an algorithm for processing streams of data. Their new algorithm, called the sparse Fourier transform (SFT), has been named to MIT Technology Review’s 2012 list of the world’s 10 most important emerging technologies. SFT FTW!

Roger McNamee, the managing director and co-founder of venture capital firm Elevation Partners, has a theory about how Apple became the biggest U.S. technology growth story of all time, “The thing that made Apple successful was betting against the web.” Perhaps you'd be more comfortable at one of our lower stakes tables?

By using the Cloud Foundry open-source framework along with other open-source software, OpenCredo eliminated "heavy lifting" such as configuring virtual machines and adjusting the size of storage volumes, says CEO Russell Miles. The framework allowed developers to write code locally, share it with the client, and automate the integration, testing, and deployment of application components Methinks it looks like a weasel

Microsoft has spent significant time and resources to promote developer interest in C++. The company's "Going Native" program has emphasized C++ development but what continues to be missing from this initiative is support for modern C as defined by the C99 standard. While compiler support for C99 varies across the industry, Visual Studio stands out by providing limited to non-existent compliance. Y'all can't get there from here
