Yeah, now I can stop worrying about my VS 2017 constantly upgrading.

These dicks, it's a dang joke. Dear Chris, maybe time for an emoticon.
Here's the lie: "We want to keep you secure when using Visual Studio."
The problem is that everything Microsoft is wedded to the OS. If you're worried about support, you sure as hell shouldn't expect a MS update to help you.

Which part of the courts ruling are you concerned about?
Srinivasa Ramanujan was locked into poverty. There are many more examples. Forgiveness of student debts and education for everyone seems beneficial to me.
Some of our citizens are being being held back, let us open the doors for them.

You're welcome. I love it when other people are generous with my money.
So, for those that actually had a clue, worked their ass off and paid for college, do *they* get any money? I mean, hell, since we're handing it out...

Bailing out those who make bad decisions, from students through to-big-to-fail banks, perpetuates bad decision making. Student loans can't be discharged in bankruptcy, which should have been a big hint to those taking them. Without that special provision, there wouldn't have been nearly as many student loans propping up the university complex and its advocacy of wokeism and other idiocies. It has joined the military-industrial and medical complexes as a sink for taxpayer money.

To be fair, they're kids who are making their first decisions as adults and don't entirely know what they're doing. They're mostly doing as they're advised while trying to make sense of the adulthood they've suddenly been thrown into.
The whole institution of college/university administration and their finances (at least in the US) needs to be rebuilt, especially considering that most of the money doesn't go to professors, who are performing (or should be performing) the primary function of universities

I have no grounds for objection when one uses their own money to remedy other's bad choices. I strongly object when one does so using my money.
Make no mistake - I can and do give charity, but the recipients and the amounts given are my decision, using my money, not the Government's, using public monies.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Sorry, but if your degree isn't able to get you a job sufficient to pay it back, why should I have to pay for your mistake.
If we really want to do this right, the flip side is that any university/college with say, more than 10% of their students applying for relief should immediately become ineligible for Federal student loans and Pell grants as a waste of taxpayer dollar. Those with sufficient incomes should be denied - period!

I guess it will come as no surprise that the replies to this thread seem to be rapidly deteriorating into Soapbox territory. 
One for @chris-maunder and @sean-ewington to keep an eye on at least.

Internal developer platforms might be part of the solution by reducing repetitive and manual work and cognitive load. Then you can burn out on that
Yeah, "sponsored", but I mostly wanted to post it as I've been hearing "Platform Engineering" mentioned a lot lately.

... would this platform happen to have a thick vertical wooden post and be surrounded by a large pile of smaller sticks?

Windows PC maker HP appears to believe that "the perfect laptop" is one that runs macOS — at least according to an ad the company promoted on Reddit. That's the only laptop the marketing group had?

JetBrains recently released a preview version of their newest IDE, Fleet. Let’s take a look at it It's vi, but with dark mode?

Should I be concerned that nothing in that post interests me? Am I dinosaur because all I want is an IDE with an editor, debugger, syntax highlighting and intellisense? To paraphrase Pink Floyd, "I don't need no fancy stuff."

I looked at it earlier. I guess I'm a dinosaur.
At the start of spinning back up on Unix (I refuse to use the Linux word). Back in the day, I did development on HPUX, Ultrix, Solaris, SunOS, AIX and something else, I forget. Diving into the eco system now, I am astounded at the integration at the os level. <--- this comment related to being a dinosaur.

As a terminal app, isn't VI dark mode by default? 🤔
My take was that author was so focussed on showing tiny giflets of single features that I have no idea what the IDE as a whole looks like. Other than guessing that since they like it and said they disliked other IDEs collections of menus and toolbars that it probably looks closer to VScode than VS or Eclipse.

For some, working from home means working less overall "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy"

And for others working from home means overworking themselves and not writing / getting extra hours paid, not respecting the needed rest / meals...
No fvck sherlock.
I even know some guys where it wouldn't make a difference working from home, because to do less than they do is almost impossible.

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

I'm not seeing a commute bar in that chart, so are we working less or just not wasting an hour a day driving back and forth for the glory of Exon?
