Let me launch my VS2019 again, and see what I can develop in it.
Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Nichts. Niets.
Yup. Backward is right, just the compatible part ain't present

A new AI model from Google DeepMind is the world’s most accurate 10-day global weather forecasting system, according to the London-based lab. "Winds light to variable"
I'm sure someone can insert a weather forecaster joke here (so I shan't bother). Where I am, it's pretty accurate as they can see it coming for days.

I can be 100% accurate for London also; it will rain today. And tomorrow. And next month.
Because. London

Step by step, the Rust programming language is moving deeper into the Linux kernel. As opposed to rust in Linux (see elsewhere in newsletter)
|
|
|
|
|
That is the purpose of rust, it moves in deeper and deeper until there is,,, well only rust left.

I’ve been diving into the Linux kernel scheduler recently. Eight cores ought to be enough for everyone?
|
|
|
|
|
I am planning on an upgrade, 8 cores should suffice for my notepad script right?
|
|
|
|
|
Since most software is targeting a single core, yes, 8 would be overkill?

Love the comment about Windows:
Quote: For the anecdote, historically on windows the period was around 16 milliseconds, it had a funny side effect where an application doing a sleep(1ms) would resume around 16 milliseconds later.
The Sleep(timeout) call in Windows only guarantees that the thread will sleep for that long. It doesn't guarantee that the thread will be awaken in timeout milliseconds.

Microsoft notes that the new Forms Windows 11 app has the same features that are available on the Forms website. Rate the idea of this app on a scale of e to pi/2

.NET 8 delivers thousands of performance, stability, and security improvements, as well as platform and tooling enhancements that help increase developer productivity and speed of innovation. "If you skate, you would be great, if you could make a figure eight"

Promised to be only seen by you and the community of 1 gazillion, very secure it is.

Not even touching it. I'll wait until .NET 20 is ready - won't be long now.

Admins will now get three additional years of Extended Security Updates (ESUs) for Windows Server 2012. If it ain't broke, don't upgrade it?

It takes them this long to figure out how to upload all the secure passwords and keys using their security on every update...

Wait, you put a device, that records all in your home, and somehow the device is at fault? Anyone, who is even slightly a criminal, will tell you that putting an eavesdropping device in your lair is a bad idea.
As for my sloshed speech, good luck there  I can't even make Siri tell me what weather it currently is.

Those 4 lines of "code" made me queasy when I used the mouse wheel. They were shifting right and left.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

You can click on them as well. I agree that just looks weird.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
