These features were delayed after Apple Inc. concluded it needed its own major upgrade in the way the company develops and introduces new products. Instead of keeping engineers on a relentless annual schedule and cramming features into a single update, Apple will start focusing on the next two years of updates for its iPhone and iPad operating system, according to people familiar with the change.

Microsoft releases PowerShell Core 6.0 for Windows, macOS and Linux

Microsoft has released an updated version of PowerShell which adds support for macOS and Linux. PowerShell Core 6.0 uses .NET Core rather than the .NET framework, and this means it is able to break out of being a Windows-only tool.

Difference between PowerShell and PowerShell Core

However, there are currently no plans to introduce new functionality to Windows PowerShell. This means that the risk of regression will be very low for Windows PowerShell, so you can count on it as a stable platform for your existing workloads.

Last Week hit Close to Home for afixia-web

I’ve had so many so close to great workflows in windows and linux. But at the end of the day, a maxed out macbook pro can run 4 monitors, sign ios apps, compile android and mac apps, and run some of the most intuitive workflow processes i’ve ever seen (alfred worflows and homebrew alone????).

Love the struggle though, but too close to home.

IndyTechTrekkie is all in on Win10

Also, if you’re a QT fan, there are some awesome powershell scripts that make the static build far less painful to set up. I haven’t booted up my MacBook in a couple of months.

Google pulls YouTube from Amazon TV boxes amid bitter feud

Google has taken a swipe at Amazon by pulling its hugely popular YouTube service from Amazon’s Echo and Fire streaming devices.

This feels very weird to me… #Amazon doesn’t sell Chromecast etc, so #Google targets their devices / users to be blocked from Youtube? @ChrisLAS

But as a software developer, I am deeply ambivalent about an Apple dominated future. Apple isn’t shy about cultivating the experience around their new iOS products and the App Store.

Electron could be the Adobe Air we all hoped for. At least Microsoft, Github, Docker, and others think so. But is it all hype? We debate Electron’s potential, and review Visual Studio Code which is built on-top of Electron.

Has Agile become a failure? We discuss what can lead to a failed Agile development implementation, and some secrets to success.
