Best known for its use in Go and Swift, C# proposal #1398 seeks to add defer statements. If you are not familiar with the concept, it can be summarized as a finally block appearing at the beginning of some code instead of the end. I could leave this feature for later

Just because they implement a new feature doesn't mean you have to use it. I wish they'd quit putzing around with the language and make Visual Studio more reliable. Furthermore, Visual Studio could really use a freshening up of its icons..

static void Main() {
Console.WriteLine("Hello");
defer {
Console.WriteLine("Foo");
}
defer {
Console.WriteLine("Bar");
}
defer {
Console.WriteLine("Baz");
}
Console.WriteLine("World");
}
Gives:
Hello
World
Baz
Bar
Foo
(Obviously)
I can only say:
Wow! Just wow!
No, hang on, I meant:
Why!? Just why!?

Are all these digital connections opening new networking doors and personal growth, or are they mentally restricting users into self-indulgent, walled communities?

You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."

As many other things... the problem is not the use, but the abuse. And there is a bunch of people abusing it A LOT.

Isn't it remarkable that the benefits of not using fb are clearly observed, defined, and expressed, but the only benefit given for using it is:
The authors wrote in their conclusions: Our results leave little doubt that Facebook produces large benefits for its users. A majority of people in our sample value four weeks of access at $100 or more, and these valuations could imply annual consumer surplus gains in the hundreds of billions of dollars in the US alone. The 60 minutes our participants spend on Facebook each day is itself suggestive of the substantial value it provides. So, if I've got this right, the only benefit of using fb is an imaginary amount of money, which, if you live in a world of unicorns and flying pigs, you can pretend pretend is real money, and further imagine what effect it would have on the world if it were real money, not imaginary money in a world that doesn't exist.
Which essentially proves that, to use fb, you have to be out of your bleeding mind.
Case closed. Next!

Pioneered by Tesla, over-the-air-software updates allow automakers to make changes to cars without owners having to go to a dealership. Just wait until we get a car running on Windows

Is it just me, or is it bleeding obvious that such a machine should:
0. Reject update requests if the vehicle is in use?
1. Allow users to get out of the car after having made an update request (since you presumably can make such requests from the interior controls)?
Sorry, but if the guys working on them are making mistakes that are at that level of moronic, you won't catch me alive near one of those cars.
But you'd possibly find me there dead, because of some "minor design flaw" that makes them decide to run into groups of people at high speed.

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?

We’ve all seen the action movie trope where our hero needs to defeat a ridiculously complicated doomsday device, and the plucky engineer has to explain how to reverse the polarity or engage the spatio-temporal hyperlink. The hero inevitably responds, “In English, please?” "What we've got here is... failure to communicate"
I'm sensing a theme forming today.

OK, gotcha.
I wish you'd said that in the first place -- and then not bothered to subject us to the rest of that awful waffle.

Coding is not done to "have a conversation", it is a formulated answer to a problem, that has been reduced to steps, and is achieved by issuing commands to a central processing unit.
So, it will remain a list of commands, in whatever form.

Well yes, if it were simply a case of "Hey computer! Tell me our monthly turnover in a format that won't ring too many alarm bells at the tax office" even accountants would be able to code.

How would we talk if we forgot about code? We’d go back to being programmers, software developers, and computer scientists. If we got rid of 'code', everything would be so much better
Or something like that.

Quote: In a clever linguistic flourish we detach a familiar end product (“our apps”) from an arcane production process (“their code”), showering unnecessary mystery on what ought to be a rather mundane project.
Sooo.. we're not mentioning tires, clutch, exhaust pipes, steering wheels et al anymore? That's good, so the shop can't elevate themselves above me anymore! Just call it small truck, and do make it work.
There are specific words within domains of work, to make it easier for people savyy in that domain to exchange information - I'm as much needed to know where a radial shaft seal fits as much as a user of my app is supposed to know what dependency injection or CI/CD is. They pay to get an app, and they will get an app - The way there is the expert's responsiblity.

Collection #2-5 contains 2.2 billion unique usernames and passwords, and was apparently leaked, as previously announced. That's roughly 850GB of data and more than 25 billion records. Of course, one billion of them are 'qwerty' and '123456'
