I mostly agree so long as the comments 1) make sense and succintly say why the code is written NOT the what -- I can read the what --- no "declare variables" type comments, and 2) are succintly and appropriately updated when the code is inevitably morphed.
Useless or wrong comments are worse than no comments.

The rules you need to build a nuclear powered submarine than you need to build a tree house. It is important to establish which one you are doing early on and to follow the appropriate rule set.
Also - no, comments are not evil. Bad comments are evil but a comment that explains intent is not evil. For example if I make a class not inheritable, wouldn't you like a comment as to why I did that so that if you are looking at taking away that restriction you know what needs to be done so my original intent is kept.

Q: "What rules do I live by?"
A: Overlay ads that appear when reading an article (or any other style that elephants me off by getting in the way of what I'm trying to do) trigger an adblock rampage to strip your site to a bare content container. Header... gone. Footer... gone. Sidebar... gone. Share buttons... gone. Any hope of my reading a second article while on your site... gone along with the div s that might have hosted a link to them.
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?

That phrase should not be used in conjunction with the phrase "Federal Government." Besides being an oxymoron, it's an insult to the people.

The news item was about them open sourcing the code, so that they're not ruining it.

Heh. But you have to love this:
...he explained that the agency would be able to tightly control who could access GeoQ, vetting the outside developers and reviewing the code they contribute before allowing it into the application.
Makes sense, of course, but it sounds a lot like the gov't trying to get work done for free. Don't they already tax us enough to pay for developers???

The best practices for enterprise security are well known. So why are so few companies implementing them? People, people, people, people, people, and people?
Or: users, users, etc.

You are repeating yourself. You keep saying the same thing, over and over. Is there an echo?

A leaked build of the upcoming Office 2016 for Windows release has revealed that Microsoft is updating the desktop client to include a new "colorful" theme that’s identical to the latest Mac, iOS, and Android apps. "And that has made all the difference."

Or maybe, I believe, Android apps were designed on the base of Windows 10's theme. Android always defines the actual theme, after Microsoft releases a new product. Microsoft is always better than other companies developing software... In the way of design, and efficiency. Now if someone hates them for not being a free product, then yes they're worst.
