Whilst writing a previous blog post I stumbled across the .NET Interpreter, tucked away in the source code. So you can replace all that pesky JavaScript code?

Microsoft today announced that it’s shutting down CodePlex, its service for hosting repositories of open source software. The service launched in 2006, and now it will be going away on December 15. Code-what now?
Launched in 2006, and I think this might be the first time I've heard it used in a sentence.

Hey, Leslie! I thought you were dead![^]
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Yeah, I updated the news item to point to the one below, but forgot to delete this.
I is ashamed.

For enterprise developers, adopting Swift over Objective-C as a primary language is not an easy decision to make. I really should make a red shirt joke here, but I'm just too lazy

Well, they seem to have a graceful exit strategy. As it is, probably 90% of the links that lead me to CodePlex end up having a "we've moved to GitHub" message anyways.
No big loss, one less repo to have to deal with, which is a good thing, I think.
CodePlex.com will start serving a read-only lightweight archive that will allow you to browse through all published projects – their source code, downloads, documentation, license, and issues
documentation? Every time I've clicked on the "documentation" link for a project on CodePlex it's empty. The possible notable exception was NewtonsoftJson, when it was still on CodePlex.

Documentation (like this[^]) is one of the things that the migration tool doesn't do well as you have to correct all the linked page names to add the .md suffix

OMG. That's the second CodePlex project I've ever seen with documentation.

Oh no, have to migrate my projects from Codeplex to GitHub.
One thing I don't like about GitHub is there is no download counters. The energy I devoted to my projects depends on number of downloads.

There is a way to get the count with the API, actually.

Actually, I moved MY code to my own Gitlab server running on site.
No need to trust some third party or cloud provider with your information.
Gitlab CE rocks. I have one at work and one at home. 3 years now and zero problems.

Quote: Those features that made it into the shipping code, including game streaming, e-reading, Game Mode, Beam streaming, Game Mode, and dozens more, collectively... ... Make a huge difference to my lifestyle.
In fact, Game Mode is so good, they included it twice.

A YouTube collection of grainy video clips highlights the progress Gravity founder Richard Browning has made toward his outlandish dream over the past year. Each seems more terrifying than the last, with multiple jet engines attached to his limbs in various configurations, as he hovers a few feet from the ground. Paging Mr. Darwin
Oh wait, have I used that lately?

Any similarities between this and my jet-pack are purely coincidental.

Often, advice about application performance comes at you with the staccato of rapid fire tips. “37 Ways to Shave Nanoseconds off of Your Overnight ETL Process.” I exaggerate for comedic effect with that title, perhaps. But the point remains. Authors serve up advice for optimization with many tips that matter only inside of tight loops. And it’s hard to keep all of those in your head. Write it in C++?

Describing why the Web is horrible is like describing why it’s horrible to drown in an ocean composed of pufferfish that are pregnant with tiny Freddy Kruegers—each detail is horrendous in isolation, but the aggregate sum is delightfully arranged into a hate flower that blooms all year.
This article describes what goes through my head any time I see someone praising the latest clientside buzzword compliant bit of new and alleged shininess as beautiful or elegant.
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?
