The 24/7 on-call nature of work for many IT professionals is leading to a shift in priorities in favor of a more sustainable work-life balance, a change accentuated by the demands of the next generation of IT pros. It's all about where you draw the line

Windows 11 24H2 has been available to Windows Insiders for several months, and Build 26100 is believed to be a potential RTM (release to manufacturer/OEM) candidate, but the preview is currently buggy, and you should avoid installing it on your main gig Just another weekday ending in a 'y'

If you check the official C# language versioning page you might think that there is a very strong relationship between the target framework and the C# language version. Beyond your daily requirement for syntactic sugar

A New York Times report details the ways big players in AI have tried to expand their data access. So now it thinks the Titanic was an inside job, that cell phones cause toenail fungus, and ivermectin cures grey hair

Plan would represent a first for what has been a completely ad-funded search engine. So you're both the payer and the product

There is another acronym for 'AI' that is not kid-sister safe. Google CEOs are welcome to take that route, especially after having f***ed search results so badly over the past couple years that they are almost utterly unusable now. Glad my main project was completed when Google search seriously kicked ass.

The goal of C++ Insights is to make things visible that normally and intentionally happen behind the scenes. It's about the magic the compiler does for us to make things work. Pay no attention to the optimization behind the curtain!

I couldn't wait for the day a staple feature of any C/C++ compiler became something new and shiny.
(I did find some optimization related issues inspecting compiler's output on a couple of embedded platforms).

Microsoft is now using a Windows driver to prevent users from changing the configured Windows 10 and Windows 11 default browser through software or by manually modifying the Registry. Who would want to change it, after all?
* changing it not using the "official" GUI. I can't really feel bad for losing the ability to change via the Registry, but I won't turn down an opportunity to poke the bear(s)
I'm also waiting for the news when someone inevitably finds a flaw in the driver that lets them take over Windows

I think it's another one of their, "driver watches the registry key and undoes any manual changes"

Windows will soon be a Rube Goldberg OS of interlocking drivers!

And a scheduled task to check that the driver hasn't been disabled...
The more they try to block "malware" (such as non-Microsoft browsers) from changing the default browser, they more they start to emulate malware themselves.

What an outrage, and a naked attempt to FORCE people to use edge and bing even against their wishes.

We often do that... no customer records are created unless they are created by this customer.create().
On top of that we're making this one private and you'll actually have to use the builder pattern if you want a customer object that isn't fully loaded directly from a backing store.
It's 100% reasonable to have a "single point of contact" as a matter of systems design whether that system is even software.
I get the consternation, agitation, exasperation, and irritation of some of their anticompetitive stuff.
Regrettably, those cause collateral damage to what should be totally sane practice on the part of MSFT. Like the whole right not knowing what the left is doing stuff sometimes simply because it was once dictated they shouldn't as a matter of fairness. So fairness dictated we get unbelievable shortcomings in systems interfaces because some genius authoritarian dictated those teams couldn't legally collaborate?

I thought it was somewhere in Wales.

Now you made me look as it seemed too likely.
