They're still in business?

Apple or Qualcomm? 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I still remember my first look at C# in the early 2000s. Microsoft had released the first major version of the language. I recall thinking that it was Java, except that Microsoft made it, called it something else, and put it into Visual Studio. They grow up so fast

Nice summary! I'm going to have to brush up on some of those features.

I thought I knew pretty much all the C# language features but I somehow completely missed using static. That's an awesome feature I'm going to put to use next time I have to deal with extension methods

Looks like that might be a reasonable case for it, ditto for importing enums baked into a class. I'm a bit nervous about the general case with arbitrary methods though; seems ripe to letting stupid messes in and trying to program C# like a procedural language instead of an OO one.

Developers typically start sketching components and dependencies on a whiteboard before coding, so Luna’s creators argue that it doesn’t make sense to then implement that logic only in text Because development on a whiteboard is totally like the real process
|
|
|
|

That’s why Luna features both visual and textual representations.
It's nice to see someone getting behind that idea, but they still don't have a cool acronym like V.A.P.O.R.

FAT disks are no longer supported—more surprisingly, nor is the new ReFS file system. It's a feature?
|

|

So does this mean I don't have to uninstall it every week?

I don't get the import of this for a OneDrive user. How does OneDrive's storage media matter to someone saving a file on a "black box" cloud filesystem?
Or, on second thought, is it a case of it not running the desktop client and sync on FAT systems?

I suspect it has to do with the fall creators update, where to fake remote files being present it needs to become a low level file system driver. As a file system rooted in the early 80's ExFAT presumably just doesn't have the needed features to do this. ReFS might have the same problem (it doesn't have all of what were edge case features in NTFS). Alternately for one or both it might just be a time to market issue; writing 3 low level file system muddles is 3x the work of writing 1.

Now, if only it would stop working on NTFS...

University of Washington researchers have invented a cellphone that requires no batteries—a major leap forward in moving beyond chargers, cords and dying phones. Instead, the phone harvests the few microwatts of power it requires from either ambient radio signals or light. Can I play Snake on it?

Shame we're nice n' analog all the time or we wouldn't need those pesky power hungry ADC/DAC chips.
Power from a dynamic mic though. - cool.

Even calling it a cell phone is a stretch IMO. Not just because of the manual TX/RX switch; but because they're using a custom signal encoding method on a base station designed for this purpose. The fact that they talked about integrating into wifi base stations in the future suggests that it's going to be very range limited vs cell signals. And being analog data it's going to be back to having all of the static/etc problems that plagued that medium. From the description they gave, I suspect it needs to have a channel in use 100% of the time vs packeting the data and sharing so forget scaling for large numbers of users.
None of which is to say it's not a cool demo; but it's not what the headline writers are trying to hype it as either.

Sometimes it feels like the line between work and video games is blurred. The story and graphics might not be comparable, but the gameplay mechanics feel like they are. For those that missed it back in the day (or that miss it now)
And if the latter, I grieve for you.
