New estimates suggest developers are losing interest in releasing new apps on the Mac App Store, with new releases per month down to below 300 titles in June and July. It's gone negative?

It seems more to me like a mature market, not one in which people are necessarily losing interest.
One of the illnesses (as I see it) of everything commercial related to computers is the assumption that everything must be growing at a rapid rate all the time. No, that can't and won't last. At some point, maturity will arrive and growth rates will slow down. A much gentler growth rate is more sustainable in the longer run (and this is true in all areas of industry and commerce).
Sure, there are beancounters and venture-funders always seeking the new rapid-growth area but they must always, ultimately, be disappointed in order for real, substantive, long term sustainable economic development to take place and stick.
Capitalism does not (or should not and cannot in the longer term) rely on exponential growth and 'disruption' all the time. Maturity and gradual development are what eventually pay the bill in the longer term.

My birthday is close to the 13th, and my laptop turns 5 this month, so this is a great excuse to replace it.

Juliana Barile, the former employee of a New York credit union, pleaded guilty to accessing the financial institution's computer systems without authorization and destroying over 21 gigabytes of data in revenge after being fired. I'm guessing she won't get a nice reference letter?

They can easily automate employee termination procedures to mitigate potential damage from vengeful employees. The people that are really at fault are the people that still work there.

For .NET 6, we have made FileStream much faster and more reliable, thanks to an almost entire re-write. For same cases, the async implementation is now a few times faster! But no one ever does any of that stuff
Wow. "A few times faster". That's some goodness there!

It's faster than "tad", but not as much as "lots".

from .net 1.1 to 6 .... sometime u need to just throw away the old code and start from scratch...legacy code turns useless...

In a world first, South Korean MPs passed a law Tuesday banning the two tech giants from forcing app developers to use their payment systems. 30% chance they fight it

 Much more accurate (I just picked 30% as that's their cut - I can't imagine they'd want to lose any of it).

Microsoft has announced the public preview launch of Visual Studio Code for the Web, a browser-based version of its free and cross-platform VS Code integrated development environment (IDE). If I hit backspace, does it delete a character, or go to the previous page?

If you hit tab will add an indent or will it change the focused control?

Seems they've removed it. The announcement link 404s, and the app itself comes back with an error that my Azure AD account doesn't exist in Microsoft's tenant.
I guess we can't expect Microsoft to know how to set up Microsoft's own technology.
