The answer is meetings. MVB Anna Majowska focused on what can be done about how meetings impact productivity, and why everyone could use a break. Someone making decaf in the regular pot?

Paul Lewis from the Chrome Developer Relations team, thinks the developer benefits of JavaScript frameworks are outweighed by poor user experience. Here's a saw and a tree: go build yourself a house.

I agree, the horse crap that comes out +5MB worth of frameworks is bad for everyone. JavaScript and the DOM API are growing beyond these wretched frameworks so there is hope.

To state that the developer benefits of Javascript outweigh the user experience is simply silly. As anyone who has ever worked with Javascript will tell you, there are few benefits from working with arguably the most quirky and idiosyncratic scripting language on the planet.
A framework is merely an abstraction of the underlying technology from which it was borne. So a Javascript framework is merely an abstraction of some particular part of Javascript. It gives a consistent and uniform programming paradigm which leads to accelerated development, leading to quicker development of new features and bug fixes. This is good for both the developer and the end user.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

The latest data from the massive United States Digital Analytics program shows that Windows 10 usage has climbed sharply, with older versions, including Windows 7 and Windows XP, dropping steeply. The only other desktop platform showing signs of growth is Chrome OS. It's up infinity% since this time ten years ago!

It's disturbing that the US Government is interested in these numbers at all.
They must have a stake in it and that Satya cat is likely in cahoots with Obama and is likely spying on you for unholy purposes.
Careful.
Repent and revert.

There is a growing demand for Ethical Hackers – computer and networking experts who systematically probe networks, applications and other computer systems on behalf of employers for the purpose of finding security vulnerabilities that a malicious hacker could potentially exploit. "There is no right or wrong, just fun and boring."

I actually took a 1 week class on it a couple of years ago and it was pretty fun and informational. They gave us a whole bunch of tools that sniff the network and what not. Honestly speaking, it is pretty easy to cause trouble. Even got a tee-shirt and backpack out of it, but did not go through the cert process.

Unfortunately, many people on CP do not understand this. For example, we get questions from time to time in QA asking about how to hack. Certain folks immediately start flagging the person as abuser and even reporting them in Spam and Abuse. 
All developers can become better developers by learning how to hack.

Wasn't a nucleair plant hacked a bit ago, using a virus? We get questions on how to build those too.
Problem in helping is that if it is abused in the wild, you helped facilitate that crime. Could give all kinds of trouble, which is better avoided. Those who want to learn will still have enough educational material, as well as unprotected servers to test on.
Companies should invest in better security; now they are looking for a "honest thief" to help them identify the most vulnerable parts of the shack. If you are in the housing-building bussiness, you better build secure houses.

So, that's true with everything. If you help someone with a foreach loop they could use that to iterate through processes on a PC and shut them down. Just saying.
Also, you see people all the time telling people how to avoid SQL injections. By telling them how to avoid them you are also telling them how to use them. So, what if you tell someone in QA how to avoid sql injections and they get the idea to go test live sites for sql injection, find a vulnerable one and do some damage. Did you facilitate it? 
The chances that anyone is going to misuse what we teach in QA for evil is so slim that we should be always willing to help.

USB isn't perfect, but it replaced lots of ports we'll never have to see again. For those too young to remember SCSI (and all the others)

Microsoft is adding a new opt-in defense for enterprises to block adware, which is often sneakily wrapped into free downloads. It will work, until the CEO wants to update his Ask Toolbar

So.. it will remove that part from the Java-Installer?

Today, I’m pleased to be able to announce the immediate availability of Raspberry Pi Zero, made in Wales and priced at just $5.
A new export hit from Wales? I think so.
