Have you ever wanted the ability to secure the local administrator accounts on your deployed Windows devices? Have you ever needed to recover a device and wished you could log in with a local administrator account? By popular demand: a feature I've never heard of or knew was needed
Can someone translate?

These days, top-down modular programming is pushed aside by object-oriented programming when it comes to teaching how to program. But there is a place for both methodologies to co-exist and top-down programming solves the ever-present problem of how to begin. "You got the top pulled down and the radio on, baby"

Quote: In fact, [using inheritance in object-oriented programming] is so fragile that many programmers think that inheritance is a mistake and should be avoided if possible.
Those people are not programmers...
edit: Quote: However, you can already see that the object approach imposes a completely different subdivision on the problem. Object-oriented design isn't top-down, even when it pretends to be. The decomposition provided by objects is a model of the real world, which is after all where the idea originated - i.e. in the Simula language and the practice of creating simulations.
Not a convincing argument, and I'm not certain I'd buy his thinking. Object-oriented programming is 'composing objects to do the job,' and I'd consider that 'composition.'

The only thing I see that useful is just to think of the architecture / structure of the project.
But once you star implementing... IMHO it sucks.
He already mentions a couple of problems as "by the way" things, but those are (for me at least) critical flaws in so many moments that I can't see where this should be better / easier / more efficient...

top-down, bottom-up, orthogonal, parallel, paradoxical, inversal, transversal -- it all doesn't matter because at some point you'll discover that whatever KoolAid approach you drank at the start has led you blindly into a corner where the paint is still wet. It's at that point that the real work of programming begins.

Had a saying way back, when I was working in C code,
"You can do anything you want, you just may not like the way you have to stand to do it."
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.

Firmware, baby. Either you build it in Assembler or in C. C++ in firmware is used only on processors so powerful it's no longer what I'd call firmware to begin with.
48kB of Flash and 3 kB of RAM really mix badly with the larger C++ compiled binaries, especially when trying to cram every little bit of functionality that was originally on 128 kB of Flash and 6 kB of RAM.

I think the author is confused, or maybe it's me. The opposite of top-down programming is, IMHO, event-driven programming, not OOP. The majority of my work these days is automating manual processes, and I typically use console apps for this purpose. Those are inherently top-down, and I use objects all the time inside those apps. That includes not only custom classes that model our business components but objects built into the CLR or Nuget packages.

I suppose a manager saw "Free guy" and wanted to have something similar (without the rogue NPC of course)?

Just wait until there are AI agents for the C-level management people.
You will work at the office! You will not count commute time! You will put in extra hours when we say so! You will be terminated while you're at home! You will discover you are terminated because your VPN from home stopped working and so you can't even get your termination email!
Oh wait.

Not all open source is created equal. There are a number of open source imposters out there, and companies should know how to identify them to avoid getting locked in to restrictive licenses that are masquerading as “open.” They just have more eyes painted on

Microsoft is not shy about introducing controversial changes to its software, even if feedback forces it to reverse course further down the line. It will now screen your printing?
You really didn't need to print that single sided, did you?
This "feature" should last at least until the next build.

Key comment:
Quote: While this is unlikely to be too controversial a change, it is still one that will annoy a number of users. It is also something of a strange decision; not only does it change the role of a key that has served a very specific function for -- literally -- decades, it also pushes one of Microsoft's own tools at people.
I have the snipping tool in the quick launch and although I use it pretty often, I still use the PrtScr even more.

I'm just used to using Win + Shft + S now to take screenshots, I don't think I've used the print screen button in years

Didn't know about that one 
Still more finger movements than only using "PrtScr"

We’re excited to preview three new features for C# 12: Primary constructors for non-record classes and structs, Using aliases for any type, Default values for lambda expression parameters Looking forward to the confusion that aliasing will cause.
