Visual Studio is introducing the Rollback feature – the ability to return to your previously installed version of Visual Studio. You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you rollback to the version you need.
Yeah, I had posted it before, but this was the "official" announcement of the feature, so I figured I'd Leslie it. (see also: I'm lazy)

I tend to think it's my responsibility to keep my manager informed. What concerns me much more is what my manager knows and doesn't tell us. Been screwed over in that direction countless times in my career.

As a CIO, I fully understand the frustration of staff not knowing what's going on. I've also learned that sometimes you have to hold back information and I absolutely hate having to hold back information.

I would be fine with you saying "Sorry, there are things I can not explain right now, but trust me, I am trying to do the best"
It is not the "not knowing" what bothers me... it is the "you don't trust me" what pisses me off.

Why would someone ever post a project on github if they didn't want it to be accessible to everyone always baffles me.
Creating a private GIT repository isn't that hard for someone who claims to be a computer professional, e.g a programmer.

GitHub is experimenting with a new way to let programmers create code with their voice inside Copilot. Because 'copy and paste' is too danged difficult.

I'm lucky I don't use it otherwise I'd be banned for life due to the loud swearing, blasphemy and threats of physical harm to every component of the chain, from the hardware to the OS, the compiler, the Internet connection and the website.

CISPE says Microsoft has shown no progress addressing anti-competitive practices. Have they tried turning it off and back on again?
|

CISPE should be called Crybaby Internet Service Providers of Europe. Basically, Europe's regulatory structure is so harsh that very little innovation comes out of Europe, which always puts European companies at a disadvantage to the US and China.

Everuthing that's not explicitly allowed it's implicitly forbidden. Such is Europe way, and my country was like that since the very beginning.

Yep. It drives people nuts that not only is the US the opposite (everything not explicitly forbidden is allowed), this concept is embedded in our Constitution in Amendment 10 - if it's not expressly granted the Federal Government, it's reserved to the States and People.
|
|
|
|
|
And it has learned well after nearly 250 years how to get around that amendment through regulatory agencies and other means, aided by the occasionally compliant Supreme Court.

Today, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta will be firing more than 11,000 employees, which is about 13% of its total strength. I guess now it's more, "About-faceBook"?
Sorry for the employees and their families, but my heart wouldn't break if the company went bye-bye.

One thing that I was actually impressed with was (in an article I read yesterday somewhere) that people are getting 16 weeks paid + 2 weeks for each year they worked there, and 6 months of continued health care coverage. Not sure how that works for non-US employees, but if true, that at least struck me as an honorable way of letting people go.

In contrast, Musk's mass firing complies with the US WARN act (60 days) and California's equivalent (90 days) by providing a 90 day vacation with full pay and benefits to all the laid off employees while at the same time preventing them from sabotaging Twitter's systems. The lockout is to prevent violations of both US and California computer crime Laws.
I wonder if Zuckerburg considered sabotage of FB's systems when allowing these employees continued access to FB's systems.

He did. The article said all their accounts were restricted to only email access before they let the unfortunate employees know about it.
