I worked for a company working on the same type of technology for the military (training). You wouldn't believe the number of "investors" from a certain industry, willing to shell over cash for the technology.

One of our key focus areas for Visual Studio 2022 is to build a personal, flexible IDE that you can make your own. Why, yes. It is a slow news day. Why do you ask?

Prioritised over fixing bugs, no doubt.

No, these are community themes made by weirdos outside of MS who were playing around with a theme editor.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Easier than working on their own bugs?
1. Fuss with your color scheme
2. Publish with a fancy name (gotta have 'Dark' in there somewhere)
3. Profit?

Conventional industry wisdom often says the management track is the only long-term growth path available to engineers. Not everyone wants to be a manager

They forgot the "give me more money and stop bugging me until I retire" track.

I like this one. Better yet, I managed to get on it!

Apple is rolling out iPadOS 15, watchOS 8 and tvOS 15 too. In case you're wondering why marketing is quiet today

Companies have long been hungry for open-source savvy employees, now they're starving. In related news - companies with source code would like to hire developers
|

What do you mean open-source developers aren't free?

|
|
|
Free, as in puppies

Only because you are paranoid, it doesn't mean you are not being followed.

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?

If you're that paranoid, create new virtual machines (from some sort of template, so the each have differing MAC, TCP/IP etc. addresses), use each once e.g. to log on to Facebook etc., and then destroy it with a secure wipe.
You may get the governmental alphabet soup after you (FBI, CIA, NSA, GCHQ, Mossad, ...), but I doubt that Google et al. Will be able to track you...

In the Netherlands, and probably the whole EU, there are regulations that limit an employer's right to spy on their employees.
It's not illegal, but employees must be notified and it must comply with the GDPR.
An employee has a right to privacy, even on work-issued devices.
If my former employers did anything described in this article, I'd have a pretty strong lawsuit I think.

True; but the article goes on. You could loose your work device if you get terminated or the company collapses. Or you may accidentally mail a work-contact some personal stuff.
..but here, this audience, will know about cloud services to store stuff, run VM's, and will be the type to already own one or two personal PC's, and some of those are more "server" than laptop. Not the kind that needs to use their work-lappie for personal stuff to save a few bucks.

Never much of an issue with new laptops though.

And I have no privacy, ooh ooh.
Great music aside, my response is "well, duh". I reserve any rights to watch pr0n, play games, install malware, visit shady sites, access the deep web and whatever I fancy with my personal computer. If a company ever forces me to use it for work, they know the risks. If they want to lock my computer, then they shall pay for it upfront and monthly for maintenance. Otherwise said PC will have a whole damn lot of blocking hardware / software issues, ifyouknowwhatimean.

There seems to be a lot of confusion around the implementation of C++20 coroutines, which I think is due to the draft technical specification for C++20 stating that coroutines are a work in progress so we can’t expect full compiler and library support at this point in time. Yield to the partially completed feature!
