Google says Microsoft's confidential settlement with a group of European cloud providers is merely about using its financial muscle to make complaints about software licensing costs vanish. ...while ignoring our own anticompetitive policies

They should probably just be happy their own confidential agreements aren't being exposed.

CISA and the FBI urged software companies on Wednesday to review their products and eliminate path OS command injection vulnerabilities before shipping. Oh, now that they mention it, we'll fix them. We never thought to fix them before.

This is the result of lazy programmers being pushed by managers who aren't held accountable for security in their products. Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) never had this issue because their management was focused on ensuring their OSes wouldn't crash or be impacted by improper parameters passed into OS calls.

This release focuses on quality-of-life enhancements for all developers and workloads. For those that like to see their sausage partially finished
"When you use Visual Studio, you want to feel empowered and productive. " <-- I feel empowered just reading that.

I definitely want to be productive, and will if I truly am.
But "empowered"? What does that even mean in the context of programming in Visual Studio?

You simply describe the program you want, and AWS says it will write the code for you without the need for any professional developers. Why just replace a few developers, when you can replace the entire team?
I'm sure the demo works very well.

Kent Sharkey wrote: without the need for any professional developers
So instead of developers you just need someone who can take a vague list of "requirements" from management/users, and turn them into clear and precise instructions to tell the computer exactly what it needs to do.
You know: like what a developer does.

CodeMarkup for WinUI enables you to build user interfaces declaratively in C# code using fluent methods Why do all that design stuff, when you can just write more code?
edit: forgot the blurb

Looks cool!
And the fluent interface as potential.
But let me ask quick question from the top of my head without thinking much about it myself, about what is usually incompatible with C# syntax, i.e. markup extensions such as DataBinding and, err.. other Markup Extensions, like, mmm yes, StaticResource?!
|

|

Now, wrap a WYSIWYG UI around it, sell it to MSFT, and go brave a new frontier.
Oh, and if we can make it able to target wasm, that'd be great.
I'm not sure it ever really popped into mind that we ditched WYSIWYG explicitly because we wanted FE to be more esoteric to veneer/mirage it out of being opaquely like stacking children's blocks.

I prefer WinForms still. It is such a fast way to deploy new apps. Rather than worrying about how something looks, I just used the standard interface and get to writing the code which was the whole point of opening Visual Studio.

Ubiquitous RADIUS scheme uses homegrown authentication based on MD5. Yup, you heard right. A straight line to the center of security
I suppose it's a good sign this hasn't been used until now? (I hope)
|

RADIUS is a terrible, terrible protocol with even more terrible implementations. I sincerely hope this will kill it dead.

We’re thrilled to announce the release of OpenSilver 3.0, the free and open-source UI framework for building modern .NET web applications in C# and XAML! When in doubt, bolt an "AI" to it and call it a release
It works for Microsoft, after all...

Technical decision-makers facing the challenge of migrating legacy systems from old .NET Framework 4.x WinForm apps face a common thread: whether to continue with traditional WinForms or something modern and promising, like .NET MAUI. One potato, two potato, three potato, four. Don't take my WinForms, or there will be war.
|
|
|
|
|
History repeats itself. Any new GUI framework has been abandoned, is not complete or is a fustercluck with no viable documentation.
WinForms always had our back, we all learnt how to work with its "features" and it requires very little surrounding architecture. It's time we have its back as well!

Error-correcting a quantum computer can mean processing 100TB every second. You need someone to actually do the work

100TB per second?
That's A LOT of cat videos... or not.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Advances in artificial intelligence are making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between uniquely human behaviors and those that can be replicated by machines. I can barely tell when I'm conscious

When the number of scam calls I receive drops precipitously, I'll assume consciousness has been achieved.
