Unless yesterday's announcement, I approve of all of these changes.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

'Asgardia' plans to launch a data storage satellite beyond the reach of Earthly laws—an ambitious and problematic goal. You call that off-site backup? This is off-site backup.
Send your data to infinity... and beyond!

Gosh you'd think data was radioactive.

By providing copy of leak, Intercept likely accelerated ID of contractor. And here I always thought those dots meant my printer needed cleaning

I wonder if she has a brother named Race? Her parents should have given her the middle name Show so her name would be Reality Show Winner.

Right now she's a loser.

I can see the next generation of posters that'll be going up in offices that deal with classified material now. The Fed's been joking about how to win several decades of room and board at their expense for the last decade. (Probably longer; but I can't speak to before I worked for a contractor that did that sort of stuff.) This idiot will make it even easier than the ease with which they busted her. "Did you leak it?" "Yes." *Slaps handcuffs on*

That's what happens if you handle original documents and some moron don't protect his/her sources...
From the technical aspect I find it interesting, a fingerprint in hardware...
From the ethical aspect I find it pity... now the potential future whistleblower will think it twice before doing anything.

Kaspersky claims Microsoft has been removing its software when users upgrade to Windows 10, and enabling its own Windows Defender solution. We all know Microsoft is known as a company that always treats competitors fairly and equally
I think I bent my sarcasm joint with that one.
|
|
|
|
|
kaspersky alwasy seemed to me to be good av... but in these days of free av, why would anyone want to keep it?
|
|
|
|
|
The bit about MS updating too quickly is a bit of a waaa.
|
|
|
|
|
Kasperky Anti-Virus is just a horrid spyware itself.
|

No specifics in that complaint; but in the past when they did go into details it was always MS replacing paid AV that was out of subscription by an extended period.
While you can made a strong argument that fully updated versions of Kaspersky, Norton, Avast, etc. are better than a fully updated version of Windows Defender (or WTF they're calling it this week). You can also make a strong argument for the reverse. OTOH anyone trying to claim a version of the former that hasn't been updated in months is better than the current version of Defender is either a paid shill or an moron. Without the latest definitions an AV tool is as elephanting useless as an exterior screen door on a submarine.

There will be a period of disruption but the product will be a renaissance in .NET. We have a lot to look forward to. Does this mean we have to wear those frilly collars when coding?

Hmmm... "decoupling of .NET from Windows" and "UWP" in the same sentence. A carefully wrote blog no doubt...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I can’t understate how big of a departure this is from things like Lightswitch and RAD / drag-n-drop programming, .NET’s mainstay of yesteryear.
Yes, because the command line is so much more superior as a way of developing large scale applications. 
The days of .NET meetups merely being poorly executed Windows Azure and MVC infomercials are numbered.
Gads, that blog reads like a infomercial.

Things are so much better now: I can't understand why I get this silly sense of frustration going through endless cycles of clean-rebuild-build to get VS2017 to compile relatively simple code prototyping forays.
And, how ridiculous of me to feel irritated as accessing VS2017 help via F1 takes me to a generic web-page for VS2015 that has no relevance to the .NET object selected in the code file.
But, there are some benefits (fringe) in being old, and on the sidelines: I often end up laughing at the juxtaposition of these incredible software development tools, now in the hands of "mere mortals," and their weird dysfunctions 
p.s. serves me right for over-riding my wait-until-later-in-the-game to upgrade any hard/soft-ware principles. I was noodling along fine with VS 2015.
cheers from the fringe, Bill

Poor doctors.....
Patient A: "Doctor, I have a skin rash and when I checked my skin it's giving me an error message."
Doctor: "And.....the error message is?"
Patient A: "Methylprednisolone ointment missing, please purchase some from your local chemist and apply to the affected area"
Doctor: "And....have you tried that?"
Patient A: "Can you explain in more detail?"
Patient B: "Doctor, it hurts to swallow and when I checked my throat it's giving me an error message."
Doctor: *sigh*
