The RoboBee project was first unveiled in 2013, when the bots were only capable of takeoff and flying. Since then, they’ve been modified to stick to surfaces and swim underwater, and now their creators say they’re able to dive in and out of water — a big achievement for a tiny robot bee. Still missing frickin' lasers
Apparently Black Mirror is a documentary. Or Charlie Brooker is just prescient. (A warning for future British PMs)

The company on Wednesday introduced a connected door-lock and security-camera system to let package carriers, guests and eventually dog walkers in and out of customers’ houses, all controlled via an app. Now all you have to do is teach the dog to accept random strangers entering the house - what could go wrong?

Have a friend whose mother is elderly. Mother has two, very intelligent, very protective German Shepard dogs. The backyard is FENCED. There are signs everywhere - DOGS - BEWARE.
Apparently an illiterate (joking) utility worker ignored the signs, opened the gate, walked in to do something, and got his ass chewed on as he was leaving at a high rate of speed. Mother was still cited.
What could go wrong indeed....

The utility worker was obviously very literate, and possibly a computer programmer.
He read the signs, realised he wasn't a dog, and therefore concluded that he didn't need to beware.

Thanks for all the passionate feedback. It has been very helpful, painful, and entertaining all at the same time. We're changing the orange icon to blue for Stable and keeping green for Insiders. That many people care that much about an icon?
So many words in response to so many people about such a minor issue. But, I guess that's the world we live in now.

There are two reasons that I don't use Code:
1) I've never really found a use for it.
2) I don't like the logo.
The more I think about it, the second is obviously more important than the first.

Choosing a code repository is an important decision. But how can a team make that choice? Subversion?

Yet another "article" written to fill space. Would have been more useful if it mentioned lesser-known services, like Microsoft, Unfuddle or even, gasp, SourceForge.
(I keep meaning to put some projects on Microsoft, but have so far found that simply archiving my personal projects periodically and keeping the latest/greatest on OneDrive is sufficient.)

As long as my code is on the public servers of a proprietary company where I have no control over it and it will all go if the company folds tomorrow or will be public if the company is hacked, I don't really care which of those repos I use.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

The irony of that is, I really don't give a rats arse what the repo is, it's the client-side tools / VS integration that matters.
