The mastermind behind some of the world's biggest and longest-running botnets has been jailed and his vast criminal infrastructure has been taken down, in part because of a careless operational security blunder that allowed authorities to identify his anonymous online persona. A mastermind, but still using ICQ?

The Securities and Exchange Commission has charged Canadian crypto company PlexCorp with violating securities laws by selling up to $15 million in an initial coin offering (ICO). A cryptocurrency scam? Say it ain't so!

Why do the world’s smartest and busiest people find one hour a day for deliberate learning (the 5-hour rule), while others make excuses about how busy they are? "Throw in undependable too"

I spend at least an hour a day on Code Project, and I definitely learn something every time!

WebAssembly now ships on by default in the four major browsers and the .NET community continues to push forward to provide .NET developers the ability to compile their to WebAssembly and run it in the browser. "It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all."

Why doesn't Microsoft just make a browser that supports .NET natively? And while they're at it, they could clean up the HTML/CSS mess as well.

Because that would imply they take care what users say and that they have common sense?

The last thing we need is more browser fragmentation. Web Assembly as a target makes a lot of sense, as it will run on all major browsers and platforms.

Exactly. We need to one browser that uses C# .NET framework form the scripting, and, ok, XAML (but preferably something better) for the layout. How hard can that be? I'm sure we can get that passed in the tax bill.

Media Extensions are Media Foundation components designed to extend the core Windows platform and enable Windows apps including Microsoft Edge to support an ever-increasing range of formats. As requested by "that guy" that uses OGG Vorbis
Of course, I suspect "that guy" only uses GNU/Linux, but here you go anyway.

If they have a less expensive tablet alternative to surface, especially if it uses HD resolution (instead of 3:2), it would be a great fit for the product I'm working on.

No fair stealing half of my joke by posting first.
My Dad probably never had one of those. I'm pretty sure my Mom did though.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

C++17 introduces a number of new language features, support for UTF-8 character literals, inline variables, fold expressions, and more. On the C++ standard library side is parallel versions of the STL algorithms, a file-system library derived from Boost, and other additions. Or as 99.9% of developers react, "So?"
