Whether you’ve been running PowerShell Core since our first alpha releases or you’ve been clinging to Windows PowerShell for backwards compatibility, 7.0 delivers a host of improvements to make your life better. Because cmd is so last century
Although it's still easier for my brain to use 'for' and a bunch of other DOS holdovers.

100,000 phishing attempts?
About a hundredth of one e-mail, then.
But I'll bet they analysed the cr@p out of the "Dear".

Beginning January 15, 2020, Microsoft will be delivering its new Chromium-based Edge browser automatically to Windows 10 users via Windows Update, unless its Edge Blocker Toolkit is applied. "Livin' on the edge. You can't help yourself at all"
I wonder if they also have a Windows Blocker Toolkit?

As long as the install does not make it the default browser, the default PDF reader and the default image viewer I don't give a rats, just another piece of bloat software I can happily ignore.

I talk to a lot of students and professional developers that often want to start a side project, but aren't sure what to build. What, were you going to spend your upcoming holidays with family and friends?

Personally... I am going to enjoy the Christmas break with my kids.
Hopefully you all can have good quality time with whoever / whatever is important for you.

Static members give us the ability to run code from an interface without an instance of that interface. I'm obviously wrong, but I thought interfaces were so that you weren't bound to an implementation?
Sorry, nothing funny/insightful there. I'm just irked at the design choice...
|
|
|
|
|
If you're wrong, so am I.
I don't understand why you'd want to use an interface for any of that. The author even shows that you can do exactly the same thing with a class at the end of the article.
I have to agree with his earlier post instead: Jeremy Bytes: Interfaces in C# 8 are a Bit of a Mess[^]

Probably Microsoft needs it for Android or iOS. Or at least this was the case with interface default implementations.
No more Mister Nice Guy... >: |

If the static methods on the interface were limited to calling other methods on the interface, and static data members limited to interfaces or simple primitives, then I might agree with this idea.
But yeah, it's borked, in my opinion.

Well thankfully, you can still implement interfaces the right way if you choose to...

The US government is considering forcing app developers to disclose any foreign involvement after a string of concerns about how users' data is being collected. "I know I can't help myself, you're all in the world to me"
I sure hope at least one of you will get that one... I think it's the egg nog talking.

Of course... they don't want any other land to get a piece of the cake from the data they stole collected first

can i use a general 2 point reference for GitHub and Stackoverflow, or do I need to list links to every answer used?
It might be a long list.

Exactly how are they going to do this? We don't need the government to get involved in our lives or jobs.

If "US laws permit mobile applications to collect massive amounts of personal information about their users", then cure the problem at its root, and stop apps collecting "massive amounts of personal information"; don't just stop apps collecting "massive amounts of personal information if it's not to be resold by US corporations"

Perhaps they should force developers to disclose any involvement with Google, Facebook, Amazon or Apple.

Some stars appear to temporarily die without a whimper or a bang — they just disappear from the night sky and then appear again later — and the scientists behind a newly published study believe this strange phenomenon could have one of two explanations: we’re either witnessing something brand new in astrophysics or seeing signs of alien activity. They've had their turn indicator on for the last 15 light years
and they're driving slowly in the passing lane.
Or you know, it could just be partially obscured by something?
