The tool, which allows developers to run Linux distributions directly in Windows, is available for download, modification, and contribution. "We want Windows to be a great dev box," said Pavan Davuluri, corporate VP at Micr...
So, the thing I've always known was a possibility has come to pass. #Microsoft has decided to eliminate about 6,000 roles across the company, and it turns out that mine is one of them.
I had hoped that I would be able to retire from Microsoft someday, but it's never been entirely up to me. So, it looks like for the first time in quite a while, I'm "Open to work".
Gaming pioneer John Carmack believes we're not nearly as dependent on cutting-edge silicon as most assume -- we just lack the economic incentive to prove it. Responding to a "CPU apocalypse" thought experiment on X, the id Software founder and former Oculus CTO suggested that software inefficiency, ...
