In the age of GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Google Gemini and all the rest, one of the most-used AI coding assistants is still the venerable IntelliCode feature of Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE, whose six-year-old tech now seems positively ancient. If it works, don't AI it

This threw my head off a bit. Intellisense vs Intellicode.
The latter is sort of the former after reworking it when they did AI it.
Had to go poking a little because I knew Intellisense has been kicking way longer than 6 years.

In a new PwC survey, 28% of respondents said they were likely to switch jobs within the next year—up from 19% in 2022. So, get out before the rush

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has published research looking into 172 key open-source projects and whether they are susceptible to memory flaws. But that's OK - they have plenty of eyes looking at them

1, didn't realise was a thing. Apparently been in places since 2022 on desktop
2, are they not already optimising the first section as if page 1 results, so I do not get how returning to pagination they can make improvements. Or are people actually sharing links with page2 or more as a thing to be worth the effort

Hopefully they'll fix this by then (of course, what they break doing that fix is yet to be discovered)

Microsoft no longer plans to include a new eventing framework in .NET 9.0 – expected late this year – following complaints that it could damage the third-party ecosystem OnFeatureDelayed();

Hmm tangentially related because it's at the tail end of the article...
.NET 9 is adding Tensor things. That's good, but I don't think people will undertake serious work with it running on CPUs. I think we can expect some kind of lighter-weight DirectX 'bridge' into the .NET framework? It's going to need some kind of relatively easy way to interface with a GPU.
Maybe they'll just tell you to go get DirectX but AFAIK the linuxsphere just goes OpenGL/Vulcan with DX being mostly an exclusive win platform thing.
