I thought XAML was dead. I guess it's used for cross-platform development??? If it's not dead, it should be! Where's the garlic and wooden stake?

At $349 it's a cheap computer and a not-very-expensive keyboard Can't type - busy watching keyboard

This is obviously marketed to gamer kids whose parent give them a credit card rather than adult supervision. Utterly ridiculous.

Exactly. That would be seriously distracting!

We’ve heard feedback from developers asking for a markdown editor in Visual Studio. With the recent preview of Visual Studio 17.5, we’ve brought markdown editing to the IDE! _**Finally**_
|
|

|

yeah, but which flavor of markdown is supported? I drives me nuts how everyone implements different ways of doing things like nested lists, what type of code is this code block, etc. Thus, I detest markdown. Syntax like double-space at the end of a line to insert a line break? Give me a break! Why we even have this "standard" is beyond me when there's decent HTML editors out there and at least HTML is more of a standard than markdown.

With Cadl, you can write a 500-line OpenAPI definition in 50 lines of code. It’s a logical way for architects and developers to construct and constrain APIs. It's an API API

At the same time, tools like Github Copilot and Facebook InCoder make developers believe their code is sound And another study finds I'm shocked. SHOCKED!
Well, not that shocked.

An analysis for all the procrastinators out there. "You need a holiday, take a holiday"

Easy:
if the engineers are taken vacations, productivity --> really low
If not... it will depends a lot on, are they working alone? Is production running? Is there any boss around? Do the engineer really like what he does? How likely is it, that you get caught if you dream a bit during the day?

My company has a use it or lose it policy on PTO (Paid Time Off). So everyone uses it all up in December. My last day is Thursday this week, but there are other members of my team that were done for the year 2 weeks ago.
If they allowed carry over, there would be more of us working right now.
Yes, I did use a bunch during the year, next year I will be using more. We're headed to Scotland and Ireland for 2 weeks. The wife wants to see castles. So any CPians, stay off the roads during the month of June, we'll be driving in a mirror universe. Fair warning.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

The next breakthrough to take the AI world by storm might be 3D model generators. That's nice, but what does it do?

In its State of Software Security, Veracode learned that most applications are either composed almost entirely of third-party code or almost entirely of code created in-house. "Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak somewhere in the town"
Sorry, I was blanking, and panicked. That's all my brain could come up with. Can anyone lend me a cup of AI today?
"While development teams can benefit from using code that’s been contributed to by a community of developers, they don’t always consider that those contributions might contain vulnerabilities — despite the fact that applications built with open-source code contain an average of seven vulnerabilities."
