They seem to have left out the one comparing boys reading skills compared to boy pants length. Want your kid to read better? Buy longer pants.

I read "Total revenue revenge generated by arcades" and thought the technological singularity was upon us

The video arcade revenue vs. computer science degrees could actually have some basis in reality.

I would not go for the book, but a couple of these are real eye openers. They make you wonder how much nonsense is out there.

So I open VS2022 Preview, after really long update, (Haven't used it in a while) and am asked to take a survey to improve VS so I think what the heck.
All they want to know is how I like the new icons. Really?, that's the most important feature of VS2022?
The less you need, the more you have.

Maybe it is AI driven and they knew you hadn't used it much so all they could ask about were the icons.

That is all they are confident enough to change the code of. The rest is too hard to maintain, let alone modifying it.

Icons have always been the most important feature of any Microsoft application.

Well, that team had been busy for a while, but not so much nowadays...so they're looking for opportunities to justify their existence...

I am glad uSoft is not mySoft.

It actually only gives you the rest of the survey if you answer approvingly to the new icons.
They figure that if a person doesn't like the icons, that they don't have anything meaningful to say.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
|

I guess I have nothing meaningful to say then.

What you expect from company, where 99% of the personnel are indian dancers?? )) They have literally one working guy and he is.... GRAPHICS DESIGNER!
As a small proof of that: When I asked 'em to improve intellisense, they told me... "WRITE YOURSELF AND SHARE!". Can you imagine that?!? Me. Alien to the company guy. Write for free important, serious code. And they take it in a product. Hell, gimme all your salaries, loafers! THEN I'll consider what's better - to write code inside your ugly designed VS (I mean API) or write new IDE from scratch.

Other than now using 64-bit, isn't that all VS2022 preview has changed so far?
|
|
|
|
|
So... what did you think of the icons?
|
|
|
|
|
There is seriously people out there, to whom icons are a defining feature.
|
|
|
|
|
I quite dislike the new icons I even wrote a nasty note re/ them in the survey I find them difficult to discern which interrupts and slows my efforts
