Out of curiosity, what are the features of HomeKit that give you confidence in its security? I ask so I can have another data point in my mind. It's definitely our goal to have a large ecosystem, of both hardware and software.

Azure Sphere dev here. Like any early project, we had to make many strategic choices on where to invest limited development time in. There are an endless number of features and platforms we'd love to support, but Visual Studio is an ob

They have. The problem is that efficient silicon layout is NP-complete and automated tools can't do better than humans today. At best they can assist and detect certain classes of errors. I'm sure Intel has invested more than $100

Out of genuine curiosity, what real business problems do chatbots solve? The only ones I encounter are "customer support" bots, but I'm wondering if there are other uses that businesses and customers find value in.

VSTS hosts git repos as well. I don't know of anyone that still uses TFS, but I'm sure they exist. I've been using VSTS daily for the last year and a half, and while it has it's quirks I think it's a powerful and pr

You might be overestimating the coordination between different teams at Microsoft :) It's a big company. I doubt there is any overlap between the people involved in the Excel IAMAs and Nat's

Microsoft already has VSTS which has source hosting, CI, issue tracking, kanban, release management and more. I suspect acquiring GitHub was more about the developer mind-share than the technology.

Why are you assuming that the recursive solution is less clear?

That's too harsh. It depends on the operation and the probability of success. If the operation is non-critical and succeeds 99.99% of the time, it makes perfect sense to show the user an "optimistic" result. This is the same

I think there are plenty of teams of this caliber out there. They're just working on less impactful or more stubborn projects. If Bell Labs hadn't existed, I believe it wouldn't have been long before most of the breakthroughs
