Right, but if he did and hadn't heard back I would have expected him to note that he asked. It's a significant thing to not note.

This isn't secret news, but when you interview at MS there is always a secret / hidden interviewer. This is publicly known information from Cracking the Coding interview. This person is called the as appropriate and you only mee

Am Microsoft. Mountains were moved to make it scale, but that has been achieved. Semmle can scale with work - it just takes a lot of effort and code.

I'd be curious as to why you think that. Are you able to provide more detail on that claim? I have extensive experience with Semmle and my experience drastically differs from you. With certain languages and a strong and diverse rules

Correct, this is a net new release. Right now it's a little rough with lots of pieces missing, but once it's all out there it should have benefit. An example would be if any performance enhancements can be ported to other C++ imp

For MS, an edge case is something that probably has under 100k users unless someone on the dev / feature team decides to champion that item. So no - some of your examples are very much edge cases, preference, or lack of understanding h

No, they just don't use it for your specific scenario. Disclaimer: Work at MS. We use Excel plenty, we just tend to do things differently than many other businesses as things that shouldn't be done in Excel we don't do in Ex

They don't need 20 years of anything; they simply needed a change in leadership, which they got. Satya is drastically changing the culture and with it the business. I get there are people out there that will always have an ax to grind

Microsoft employees are not like Googlers. There was a protest letter that was passed around and I think it got more ex-MSFT than actual employees to sign it. I suspect a few people from both companies will complain but it won't be en

Not necessarily. Instagram knows that people password spray its service regularly and that many popular accounts are often targeted for takeover by scammers. This is a common problem for them and happens regularly They also know what thos

You should include the fact that you work at Google (cause you do, and your response is not completely honest without that disclaimer). The parent's concern was that this is Google focused, and your response doesn't seem to dispro

Regardless of what happens, thank you for trying to make the web a better place.

This article has: - No technical details - Is not timely (issue is resolved) - Reads like a poorly written hit piece - Could be summarized by a tweet: 2FA outage in Azure impacts cloud hosted services. Issue is now resolved.

Issuing an apology will do squat. The people that oppose Microsoft aren't asking for one, they're asking for changes to other things so the apology is moot. Microsoft is far from perfect, but they're possibly the only one of

I mean I could provide statistical data and show trends etc, but that's a lot of effort. I am presuming that people here will have kept up on major breaches to realize that point. That might be a really bad assumption but I know ther

I think that's kind of the entire idea. Microsoft is expecting people to use the IP in the patents to write code for Linux now without fear of being sued. When they donated the IP to OIN, for all intensive purposes the patents were li

I've seen several similar threads to this one on Twitter. "Blah happened at Facebook and it is potentially a company ending event." This causes me to almost immediately discredit them, as while serious, this is no where near

Developing UWP apps is challenging though, it's not a straightforward experience and as a result many people hate it. I don't know if you've ever had to debug a UWP app but compared to almost anything else it's painful.

AWS has had these same issues when it has had region outages. Simply google AWS outage and see the results. Thankfully an entire datacenter outage is rare and Azure is taking steps to mitigate that risk.

Eventually all divisions roll up to the same executive team. The level at which Windows and the people responsible for this decision meet is far above where the decision is or was made. Mobile and XBOX aren't subsidiary companies. Mo

More importantly, the charge only happens after Windows 7 has reached end of life. They did the same thing with XP, and any enterprise software company does this for end of life software. If you want support on an EOL product, it's no

The linked trial testimony says otherwise. The engineer states he found bugs, and theoretically it might be possible he was unable to reproduce. Further, he evaluated the software against his own coding standard which was a variant of ano

Microsoft is well aware that things can be spoofed, and has a very talented threat intelligence organization that would not make this claim without substantial proof. This includes things like encryption keys and other non-public identifier

I disagree with your statement. I would say that given current events and the coverage of them you are seeing Russia more that other entities. This happens for a variety of reasons, some technical, some political. The technical ones are w

This sounds eerily similar to "Extend, Embrace, Extinguish". Only in Google's case, they capture the market fully and then kill it rather than leave it running the captive portal.
