So, they kills 5% to 10% of the memory bugs and introduces 30% to 50% of other bugs...
Well done

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

From the article (link in parent):
The APIs are called ExAllocatePool2 and ExAllocatePool3. There are also separate tools available to support versions of Windows 10 prior to 2004.
"The intention here is to get driver developers a way to be more explicit about what they are doing in their program. There will never be any question of if a developer truly intended for an allocation to be uninitialized or zeroed since ^__I>(My highlighting)," explains Bialek.
No wonder there are problems if ExAllocatePool2 and ExAllocatePool3 are MS's idea of 'explicitly specified in the API name'. I challenge anyone to guess which is the uninitialized version and which is the zeroed version just from the names. If they want it to be explicit in the API name then the name should explicitly state what it does, e.g. something like ExAllocatePoolUninitialized and ExAllocatePoolZeroed.

"It is practically important to know how far their faeceses [sic] reach from the origin. Such information would save keepers from the crisis. It would also be helpful for a newcomer guidance for keepers to avoid such an incident."
I predict a niche market for an IoT early warning system.

You'd probably have to use MILSPEC parts; the -40 to 85 degrees Centigrade industrial operating temperature range won't quite do it in Antarctic winters...

Microsoft has issued a "Call for Action" to Java developers using its Visual Studio Code (VS Code) source-code editor to make sure their code runs on Java 11 or above, soon. "If we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?"

A binary in Windows 10 responsible for setting an image for the desktop and lock screen can help attackers download malware on a compromised system without raising the alarm. But no one would use it for bad purposes, right?

3 sentences in is one of the most garbage ever written. Quote: Maybe it’s the way the company’s CEO just stood there while a sitting president actively called for people of color to be murdered on his platform.

The President does say some stupid things, but nothing no where near as stupid as the author did.

"When the looting starts, the shooting starts" was pretty close to the wire to fair. Given it's historical context. I simply don't believe his excuse that, to paraphrase, it was "a phrase he had heard". He has form of quoting stuff like this and claiming ignorance - if it was just that, he wouldn't always err on the side of racism, he'd err the other way once or twice, unless he's just totally surrounded by racists.
Anyway, this sort of discussion doesn't belong in this forum.

Use a search engine to get the context.
As I said, this is not the proper forum for this discussion.

I know the context. What I was wondering was why in the world you thought it was a racist statement. Just asking you to backup your claim. That's all.

Today we announced the Porting Assistant for .NET, a new tool that helps customers analyze and port their .NET Framework applications to .NET Core running on Linux. People that liked this tool, also enjoyed these unrelated items

But porting .Net framework shouldn't be all that f*ckin hard, should it? Well, except for devs that still have to do WCF. They have no place to go.

Don't forget SSRS. If you want to view or export a report from Microsoft's own reporting tool in .NET Core, you have to pay a hefty subscription for a third-party library to do it.
The request to provide a .NET Core version of the free .NET Framework library has been "under review" since 2018, with no sign of progress.

Has anyone tried this to see if it's better than the one MS wrote?
Admittedly, better than the MS tool is a very low bar. Theoretically it is supposed to give porting hints, but when "Old.Namespace.Controller.ctor doesn't exist in .net core" has a solution fix of "no ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing idea" not "Change your using statement to New.Namespace" the MS one is pretty beyond useless.
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?
