Over the course of the last couple of days I've dug around in the various repositories of the dotnet organisation on GitHub, and what I'm seeing there is very exciting. And I'm not just talking about running on Linux. Write once, debug everywhere returns!
|
|
|
|
|
And not just the to be expected platform debugging. A whole slew of .NET Native specific requirements on top of that. Was excited about .NET Native. Read the requirements and limitations. Won't touch.

Regulators in the United Kingdom on Monday approved a request from scientists to use the emerging CRISPR gene editing tool to perform experiments on human embryos. I think I saw this movie - it doesn't end well
Yeah, yeah. No implanting. Nothing really to worry about they say. What about The Blob? Or that Trapper Keeper incident?

I'm pretty sure the Blob was from outer space. It landed on a meteorite.

Isolation (2005) - IMDb[^]
One of the worst movies EVER! About a genetically modified cow embryo killing people
How it got such a high score and even won prizes is beyond me
Maybe I'm confusing it with another movie about a genetically modified cow embryo killing people... Nah

In a new paper, physicists have proposed that the shortest physically meaningful length of time may actually be several orders of magnitude longer than the Planck time. "Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time"

For years now, the FBI has been warning legislators and CEOs about criminals "going dark" through encryption — and the responsibility of companies like Apple and Google to stop it from happening. I guess they need better IT people
|
|
|
|
|
Of course they aren't; they're smarter than that. The use of encryption draws attention to oneself. Just as wearing sunglasses and a trench coat and pulling a fedora down low will draw attention.

IE and Edge lose more users as defections to Chrome continue. You do have to run it at least once
|
|
|
|
|
I'll be honest, I have Chrome, FF, and Edge and still prefer FF. Sure Chrome does have some more addons, but I my FF version has everything I need and seems more robust and user friendly.
|
|
|
|
|
I still use FF because uses useless RAM than Chrome even if Chrome better in other way.
But will use Chrome for other uses the FF cant

Using no downloads, no special software, or no plugins, Andrea managed to get Windows 95 running in a web browser using emscriptem, a emulator that converts C++ code to JavaScript in real time. Citrix called, they want their business model back
|
|
|
|
|
Which is a proof, that web browsers can be hacked easily.

The Article said: It’s greatest improvement of it’s predecessor, Windows 3.1, was the graphical user interface, and plug and play technology. These features of Windows 95 are features we continue to see in Windows today.
No. The GUI wasn't the "greatest improvement of it's predecessor...".
Pre-emptive multitasking is what sold that OS. (Windows 3.11 and before were co-operative multitasking systems).
EDIT
Also, I googled the word "emscriptem" as the original article called it.
WRONGO! All references were emscripten.

Absolutely true. However if you have the talent, the education brings it out.

Six months after its release, Windows 10 has finally passed 10 percent market share. Which of course means this must be The Year of Linux!
|

All the figures shown are based on web-pages being hit. What about the many thousands (perhaps millions) of PCs that don't ever touch web-pages; those that are within the corporate and governmental environments and are update via local IT over internal networks? I suspect the Linux and Mac percentages would dwindle to insignificance and Windows 10 would, probably by definition since most updates are via the web at the moment, be less than 1%. Windows 95/98, XP, Vista are still alive and well in many places and Win7 is still the "greatest" unlike Win10 as this article tries to put it.
This is all true in my office environment where XP is used widely as a NAS and several earlier Windows' versions (but not ME) still are run occasionally (with no web activity) for various compatibility reasons.
Vista is still used as a browsing sandbox so some of the Vista web-hits come from that.
I came across a client using PS/2s running DOS 6.0 for some accounting software that still worked fine for them and drove their venerable HP MX80 and FX80 printers! It worked for them and they were only talking about changing because the PCs were breaking down and the installation disks were giving errors - and they were having trouble finding new ribbons for the printers!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
