And also, many IDEs such as Visual Studio for .NET and C++ provide an automated code refactoring by outlining particular fragments of code by not changing the either structure of code or its behavior during execution.

It’s not clear how long Windows 10 fans will have to go without a new build, but the reason may make the life of an Insider easier in the long run. They'll get back to bugging you to upgrade shortly

They'll be taking a more gentle approach this time so as not to raise the ire from users as was prevalent in the first Windows 10 migrations.
This time, they'll just scotchtape the disk onto a brick and throw it through your front living room window. It should reduce damages significantly.

Right. They in Microsoft paused the Windows 10 previews to concentrate their work on the new radical accumulative update. As you might notice, there's no much sense to release so many of those beta previews. Instead, it's worth to expect a new radical update that will make Windows 10 much better.

They are investigating how to implement a software WiFi in your machine, so that they can update you even with disconnected LAN or hiding even more all the crappy settings so you can't disable then.

Now serious... I hope this time they manage to do some better and correct the direction, because right now they are going downwards without brakes.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Although artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and other emerging technologies may reshape the world as we know it, a new global study has revealed that the majority of CEOs now value technology over people when it comes to the future of their businesses. OK, we'll let them run the companies then
|
|
|
|
|
Obviously CEOs are not necessarily the brightest people around.
|
|
|
|
|
That is correct. They are not very bright.
After all, they pay you! And me! And all the folks in the IT business!

As a developer, choosing C# as a part of your technology stack is an excellent decision! It's the semi-colons

C# 7.0 support in VS2017? Oh yes. All the yes. Be right back looking around for more yes to throw at this. I love the direction C# is going in generally speaking. Definitely my favorite language out of a long list. For anyone interested, here are the proposed C# 7.0 changes[^].

I'm fine with C# four, thanks.

I'm honestly a huge fan of async in C# 5. C# 6 was basically just a collection of syntactic sugar that makes common patterns more readable so I can understand that but C# 7 aims to remove many common anti-patterns. Compound returns so you no longer need to abuse out or clutter code with Tuples. Ref locals and returns. These are huge in some circumstances.
You can't even implement your own version of some built-in functionality of C# without the concept of ref locals. As an example, compound assignment (+=, *=, etc) functionality hinges almost entirely on this concept.

When C# 5.0 was already out, I worked for a company still on C# 3.0 with only some groups moving (very slowly) to C# 4.0.
Last year, I wrote a utility in C# 6.0 and .NET 4.6.2, only to have to move it back to 5.0 due to a insufficient [corporate] .NET 4.6 installs.

Yeah, the release cycles of the .NET versions have been crazy.
The next version releases before they can get the announcement of the current version out as a press release.

If you're using VS2015, you can still use many of the C# 6 features even if you're targetting earlier versions.
String interpolation, nameof, exception filters, read-only auto properties, and expression-bodied members should work with any target version.
The enhancements to async / await will work with .NET 4.5, and should work with 4.0 if you add the Microsoft.Bcl.Async[^] NuGet package.
Probably the only thing that won't work automatically is the culture-specific formatting for string interpolation. But you can add a couple of classes[^] to your project to make that work as well.

DeepMind Lab and OpenAI's Universe give scientists a way to test their AI "agents." Bonus marks if you plug one into the other. There can be only one!

Jesse Worley threatened to sue Microsoft. He’s not the first to take on the Redmond company, but his move to take legal action had a purpose. When in doubt, sue.
$650. That might even cover the lunch tab for the lawyers working the case.

Microsoft has fielded a preview of another AI chatbot, Zo.ai, but so far is limiting the topics it is able to address. It worked out so well last time

In this “age of acceleration,” in which advances in technology and the globalization of business are transforming entire industries and society itself, it’s more critical than ever for everyone to be digitally literate, especially our kids. "We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives"
I don't think I've used that quote in a while. I hope.

Now the USB Killer has been mass produced—you can buy it online for about £50/$50. Now everyone can destroy just about every computer that has a USB port. Hooray.
