I must keep it in mind if I start using Linux. I had to look it up, and it looks good. Originally developed on an Amiga, no less! I had one and still remember it fondly.

Visual Studio will never run on Linux unless they port WPF over to Linux, which will never happen (at least, not from Microsoft).
Look at WINE. VS used to run in Wine, until they moved to WPF (2010), and then it went to hell in a handbasket. WPF uses DirectX, and that doesn't live on Linux.

Since Windows Forms was open sourced in late 2018, and ported to .NET Core, both the team and our external contributors have been busy fixing old bugs and adding new features. Because WPF is so 2006

It doesn't matter. writing a WinForms or WPF app with .Net core just causes the binary footprint to be bigger, and does not add any real benefit (because you can't run those apps on Linux).
I didn't bust my ass for the last 30 years learning how to nuance a GUI, only to be told I have to start writing command line apps again.

It's nice to see WinForms getting some feature love again, though.

The founding members of the Modern Computing Alliance--Google, Box, Citrix, Dell, Imprivata, Okta, RingCentral, Slack, VMWare and Zoom--are gunning for more integration, better handling of workloads and the new normal for work. I read this as 'Modem Computing Alliance' and was looking forward to getting 'ggggshchshshchsschBoingBoing' back into my life

For decades, one material has so dominated the production of computer chips and transistors that the tech capital of the world—Silicon Valley—bears its name. But silicon's reign may not last forever. Are we finally getting chocolate transistors?
Of course, then we'll have a global shortage as everyone eats their computing power

Eating it or putting it into their breasts - the effect is about the same.

Socher wants to fix consumer search and today he announced you.com, a new search engine to take on the mighty Google. In search of a search solution?
"You it", "I You'd it for you". Nope, doesn't have that ring
"In addition to trust, he wants it to be built on kindness and facts, three worthy but difficult goals to achieve". Awwwww, that's adorable, isn't it?

A bit too late, but still better than never.
I only hope they don't overkill it with burocracy and stupid decissions as in many other things...

Middle name?
That would still give the chance to cover it a bit...

Embrace and extend leaps to mind.
But quite cool tbh.
How soon until we see a Linux with Powershell as the default shell?

A survey of nearly 1,200 FOSS contributors found security to be low on developers' list of priorities. Why secure it when you can just start a new project?
At least that's how it seems the JS framework people think

No, but they seem particularly bad at it (see Node/Deno as one pretty extreme case, as well as Angular/Vue/React/Svelte/Next/Ember/probably forgetting a dozen here)

Quote: A report ... highlighted a "clear need" for developers to dedicate more time to the security of FOSS projects as businesses and economies become increasingly reliant on open-source software.
Hmmm. Maybe those 'businesses' should contribute to that effort (like the article said)...
