This isn't really all that much.
It's just syntactic shorthand. The same IL code is generated, I'm sure.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

This is just syntactic sugar and doesn't really add very much. I actually prefer the more verbose version of instantiating an object as it's less ambiguous.

The Windows 10 KB4571756 security update released yesterday is reportedly breaking Microsoft's Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) compatibility layer. Well, it was a "Security" update.
Maybe it's just their test matrix getting away on them?
Maybe?
Please?
|
|
|
|

Or maybe the security update is really doing its job and exposing the crappy WSL2 by breaking it?
(but that would be to trust the windows update teams does know what they are doing... and the experiences have been pretty painful)

Vivaldi browser 3.3 has been released, and with it comes a new feature that allows you to pause everything you are doing in your open browser tabs to take a break, free from distractions. But... why?

I'm a Vivaldi user, and while the "take a break" feature might sound pointless or gimmicky I've already found it quite useful. I often have a podcast or video running in a background tab while I'm working, and I don't like to miss anything. I previously had to find the tab in question (I usually have numerous open) to pause the audio/video whenever I'd get interrupted with a meeting or something. With this feature I can just click a button (or I usually use the keyboard shortcut) to pause/resume very easily regardless of which tab I have open. It's not an earth-shattering, game-changing feature to be sure, but I've already used it several times and I like it.
To each their own, though

Fair enough. I hadn't thought of that scenario. Thank you.

True... I like it too.

Close your eyes, take your thumb and your indexfinger up to the bridge of your nose, locate your closed eyes with the tip of each, then gently apply pressure to your eyelids, squeezing the eyeballs to the rear of the head. Continue to increase the pressure until ... the gold matrix upon which the supreme galactic sanhedrin sends all of us his messages of conciousness.
Then stop.
Enough evidence of The neural network for me anyway.

Now that we have the second version of Windows Subsystem for Linux, as well as the shiny new Windows Package Manager called “winget”, did the tables turn? Let’s find out. When was it not?
OK, back in the Petzold era, maybe.
"I have started my development career with Windows back in middle school. I mostly did PHP back then" Oh. That explains many things.

Seriously, this guy acts as if his unique situation applies to all developers everywhere and that this package manager of his is key.
I mean, "I can also see that Chrome, DropBox, and Firefox are also in the winget repos. However, I cannot find IntelliJ, which is one of my favorite code editors." so use the friggin installer
As someone who develops for Windows systems, because believe it or not, but that's what my customers use, I call bullshit.
And millions of developers with me, I'm sure.
I'm just going to dismiss this as "Windows bad, says Unix command line elitist."

3-D printing technology poses a "grave and growing threat" to individual privacy because of the potential for products to reveal private information about individuals, experts have warned. When everyone knows you've printed a Baby Yoda figure, we've all lost

Quote: 3-D printing technology poses a "grave and growing threat" to individual privacy because of the potential for products to reveal private information about individuals, experts have warned.
People could use cameras, laptops or mobile phones to track and trace the origins of 3-D printed objects and how they have been used...
Serious: how is it a threat to privacy if someone can look up on the net the Huey copter you've printed and see where you got it from? The article reads more as if they are trying to scare people in order to lock down control of STL and other files via watermarking.
