You can now undock the Pending Changes and Builds views and position them anywhere within the workbench window. Both views also now appear under Window > Show View, which makes it possible to add these views to another perspective.
Wow, I wish I had read this a long time ago, like in 2003 when it was written:
Pragmatic Programmers Andy Hunt and Dave Thomas talk with Bill Venners about a gardening metaphor for software development, the reasons coding is not mechanical,and the stratification of development jobs.
These license terms are an agreement between Microsoft Corporation (or based on where you live, one of its affiliates) and you. They apply to the software named above. The terms also apply to any Microsoft services or updates for the software, except to the extent those have different terms.
IF YOU COMPLY WITH THESE LICENSE TERMS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS BELOW.
INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.
Individual license. If you are an individual working on your own applications to sell or for any other purpose, you may use the software to develop and test those applications.
Organization licenses. If you are an organization, your users may use the software as follows:
Any number of your users may use the software to develop and test your applications released under Open Source Initiative (OSI) approved open source software licenses.
Any number of your users may use the software to develop and test extensions to Visual Studio.
Any number of your users may use the software to develop and test your applications as part of online or in person classroom training and education, or for performing academic research.
If none of the above apply, and you are also not an enterprise (defined below), then up to 5 of your individual users can use the software concurrently to develop and test your applications.
If you are an enterprise, your employees and contractors may not use the software to develop or test your applications, except for open source and education purposes as permitted above. An “enterprise” is any organization and its affiliates who collectively have either (a) more than 250 PCs or users or (b) more than one million US dollars (or the equivalent in other currencies) in annual revenues, and “affiliates” means those entities that control (via majority ownership), are controlled by, or are under common control with an organization.
Demo use. The uses permitted above include use of the software in demonstrating your applications.
The license continues, but the above are the most important aspect to verify if you can use Visual Studio 2015 under that license.

Anders explaining about being a pragmatist ever since he started working on the Turbo Pascal predecessor in 1981. It’s been a long way to TypeScript and beyond (:
Lot’s of interesting tidbits about the future of TypeScript and how it relates to other languages.
Copying skeleton files.
These files are for the users to personalise their cygwin experience.
They will never be overwritten nor automatically updated.
'./.bashrc' -> '/home/jeroenp//.bashrc'
'./.bash_profile' -> '/home/jeroenp//.bash_profile'
'./.inputrc' -> '/home/jeroenp//.inputrc'
'./.profile' -> '/home/jeroenp//.profile'

It will copy some default files to your profile so you can modify them.
Since Cygwin will run ~/.bash_profile on logon, and that in turn starts ~/.bashrc (see below), I’ve modified the latter to run ~/.bash_aliases and bring those a bit in sync with my regular Mac machine:
This file contains hidden or bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters. Learn more about bidirectional Unicode characters
alias lsmod='ls -al|awk '\''{k=0;s=0;for(i=0;i<=8;i++){;k+=((substr($1,i+2,1)~/[rwxst]/)*2^(8-i));};j=4;for(i=4;i<=10;i+=3){;s+=((substr($1,i,1)~/[stST]/)*j);j/=2;};if(k){;printf("%0o%0o ",s,k);};print;}'\'''
cURL has some idiosyncrasies, for instance Cygwin shows the progress meter by default, but Mac OS X does not. I wanted to disable the cURL progress meter and you heed -sS for that.
ls doesn’t show you octal file modes by default, but chown and umask use them, so I’ve got the lsmod alias through stack-overflow.
Then I found out he has a while bunch more videos. about various programming topics.
I’ve known Charlie for a long time: from his Borland days (and book writing at SAMS, which is now Informit) through the days at Microsoft (he left in 2010) and now he is teaching at Bellevu College.
