While demoscene stuff is seriously impressive most are using a shit load of DirectX to do what they do in such a small size. They are not bare metal demos.

"The development environment coders will use is based on Windows 7 and fully integrated with Visual Studio 2010 and 2012, allowing developers to debug PS4 code just like PC code. T…

There is a massive difference between just bundling your additional software with your operating system and integrating (for no technical reason) your software with the operating s…

Unless I read it wrong the article says 10,000 servers going live this summer with the plan being to replace all 80,000 servers in total. edit: just noticed they sneak "and eBay" i…

Is that 80,000 physical or virtual servers though? That ratio could easily be 10:1 if it is the VM count which is more what I would be expecting.

Hell even for Windows development I still use Linux with a Windows VM for Visual Studio. Windows 8 runs really smooth in VMware Workstation even on my 4 year old Core 2 Duo

For just a general surf the internet machine sure Linux has a lot of power that just isn't needed (and a lot of the time a lot of hassle to get it working right) and Windows does a…

Honestly I don't have an issue with Firefox/Chrome for the rapid version number increases. A browser is the most updated (or should be) bit of software on your computer. Honestly I…

Unless I am doing very heavy weight development work all of my dev envs are in VMware Worktstation virtual machines. So flexible to work with and I can archive off the whole devenv…

I don't really see that as a plus. Qt would have been my choice but oh well.

Today is 2013-03-14 which is good enough for me :P

I wish Google would buy Digia and make it the default framework for Android 5.

This is just an advert for C++ Builder XE3. There is nothing in this article that a C++ programmer does not already know.

F# is a very interesting language and one of the best things to come from Microsoft in a long time. It could be a very very good thing for MS in the next decade if they invest in i…

Agreed, by definition, you are right. However the whole "Linux is free therefore it can't be good" attitude that did exist circa 10 years ago is pretty much dead these days except …

Yes you get pretty much everything (current) with an ultimate license that is only for development (with a minor exception for Office) not production. So while you can fire up a Wi…

For me there was not one identicle fit to cover C# however a mixture of Java, Scheme, C++(11) and Python covers pretty much everything. Some will argue having to know more language…

Yes. IBM, Red Hat, etc. Also there are tens of thousands of users running distros such as Debian on system much bigger than Windows Server can allow. While saying "first party supp…

Pretty much this in my experience. C# (and .NET in general) is pretty nice to work in but it is expensive from pretty much every angle. From Visual Studio (which runs over $10k for…

While not as clean or powerful as Soulver, OpalCalc looks quite interesting http://www.skytopia.com/software/opalcalc/

Yeah Word does have a few nice new things but I wouldn't say they are worth the price of the upgrade. The advanced embedded stuff scares me a little. I can see people adding huge v…

Excel and PowerPoint have seen some nice new features added however Word is mostly the same. The new UI is different but mostly just cosmetic over 2010. Although the ribbon has mor…

Sublime was never very good with large files in my experience. UltraEdit has always been the best for that (if you are a Windows user, I don't know if the Mac and Linux versions pe…

Thank you for all your time and hard work Alan. I hope we see you back some time in the future. Enjoy your extra family time :)

I have the same issues regarding load speed on large files. I am a long time UltraEdit user and it is the fastest editor on Windows for working with large files that I have found. …
