Cloud backup outfit finds that older HDDs fail more – who knew? Don't let your hard drives get old!
"This increase as a drive model ages follows the bathtub curve, whereby a typical drive can be expected to exhibit a rash of early failures, followed by a period when there are relatively few, followed by an uptick once more as all the drives approach the end of their lives and wear out." <-- curious. A "break-in period"?

The tool takes over the Visual Studio "File > New Project" setup process upon hitting the Create button, after which MAUI App Accelerator steps in with a wizard that lets developers point and click for options concerning .NET version (7 or 6), coding style (MVVM Toolkit, Code Behind, C# Markup), navigation style (Flyout, Tabs, Empty Shell, None), Pages/Views (multiple options) and other features such as MAUI Community Toolkit, AppCenter and several others. For those that miss the days of yore, when wizards roamed the land

We’re launching a pilot subscription plan for ChatGPT, a conversational AI that can chat with you, answer follow-up questions, and challenge incorrect assumptions. It will still take over the world, but now it will also charge you $20/month while doing it

In the last few years I have become very worried about the fate of C# "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded"
This one won't be appearing in the mailing, as it's on Medium and a lot of people have trouble accessing that site (or disagree with its limitations on reading). However, I didn't want it to not have a chance to be discussed. If you're not able to access it on Medium, try the ripped version[^].
So, why didn't I just post it to the daily newsletter using the ripped version? I dunno. It just didn't feel right.

"C# is dying" as fast as COBOL is dying, IMHO. In other words, it will still be around at least 50 years from now - assuming we still are.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

(Not clicking that.)
Just yesterday I was conversing with a VB.net practitioner (he seemed normal otherwise :shrug: ).
And I again recalled that the demise of C# in favor of VB.net has been mentioned at least as long ago as 2003.
I do still long for the language which is to follow C#, and the framework it uses.
Not holding my breath.
D continues to be the language I would learn if I had a reason to.

tl;dr: Cause of death according to the author is "feature creep".

Which I can understand. I use C# 3.
Many bad decisions have been made. We need a new language which learns from the mistakes.

So his real complaints are that he feels compelled to use the latest and greatest syntactic sugar and isn't getting paid as much to write the same sloppy code as before.

I didn't click the link, but while I do agree all languages evolve and/or get replaced (just look at the history of them) and so C# will be included in that eventually too... C/C++ is still around. COBOL is still around. ASM is still around. Sure, it's special use cases and perhaps not the cool new thing, but the world doesn't switch overnight. Even though it will switch eventually.
As a side note, all languages as we know them today are dying. The next wave of tech will thin the lines of desktop and web development even more. Languages will have to handle issues not originally thought of when the desktop and web were considered widely different. We're trying to make OSes subscription based and like a service for instance. Even JavaScript will meet its fate eventually as WASM gets more and more advanced, able to handle DOM manipulations better, etc.
Point is, if you can't embrace change, you're in the wrong industry. AI will change things a lot too. The coders of the future may literally just talk high level to the computer and the computer code itself in the actual language. We already have a rudimentary version of that with ChatGPT.

The rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated.
C#
But seriously speaking - C# is a great language and with every new feature set it becomes better and better.
What was hurting it before - was the fact that it was tied to windows. But there is no longer such restriction.

This article pretty clearly lays out that this wasn't a "great resignation", but rather a "great job shift". People left jobs they didn't feel met their worldview or needs and went to work where they felt they had a better fit.
Having done this very thing in January 2015 I fully understand. It was the best job change I've ever made and I will probably retire from my current job.

As much of an impact as ChatGPT has had since its launch in November, a prominent computer engineer believes we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg. But nothing can stop Bing!

uhm what.
maybe its the clickbait wording, but Google/Alphabet seem primed to use a chatgpt clone for search.
as for money, my understanding its advertisement, on almost every website that it makes most of its revenue. Sure search results page, but I don't know the split.
Google could use I dont know, chrome address bar, and mix with recent news. because the thing that the internet needs, is continued crawling of the internet, updated pages. all data that google gathers, has some set of algorithms, and could mix with an AI model, which I think they announced last year they already working on.
maybe because its a tweet, and done quickly 🤷

A few days ago, speech AI startup ElevenLabs launched a beta version of its platform that gives users the power to create entirely new synthetic voices for text-to-speech audio or to clone somebody's voice. Well, it only took the internet a few days to start using the latter for vile purposes. I think I first heard George Washington complaining about this

Pfff, I have it since 2006, it's called "wife". And I'm pretty sure many people had the same technology way before me.
