WebAssembly now ships on by default in the four major browsers and the .NET community continues to push forward to provide .NET developers the ability to compile their to WebAssembly and run it in the browser. "It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all."

Why doesn't Microsoft just make a browser that supports .NET natively? And while they're at it, they could clean up the HTML/CSS mess as well.

Because that would imply they take care what users say and that they have common sense?

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?

The last thing we need is more browser fragmentation. Web Assembly as a target makes a lot of sense, as it will run on all major browsers and platforms.

Exactly. We need to one browser that uses C# .NET framework form the scripting, and, ok, XAML (but preferably something better) for the layout. How hard can that be? I'm sure we can get that passed in the tax bill.

Media Extensions are Media Foundation components designed to extend the core Windows platform and enable Windows apps including Microsoft Edge to support an ever-increasing range of formats. As requested by "that guy" that uses OGG Vorbis
Of course, I suspect "that guy" only uses GNU/Linux, but here you go anyway.

If they have a less expensive tablet alternative to surface, especially if it uses HD resolution (instead of 3:2), it would be a great fit for the product I'm working on.

No fair stealing half of my joke by posting first.
My Dad probably never had one of those. I'm pretty sure my Mom did though.
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?

C++17 introduces a number of new language features, support for UTF-8 character literals, inline variables, fold expressions, and more. On the C++ standard library side is parallel versions of the STL algorithms, a file-system library derived from Boost, and other additions. Or as 99.9% of developers react, "So?"

Quote: The final standard of C++17 (formerly known as "C++1z") is now official.
So I'm guessing the next one will be called C++1aa, because compiler developers will end up joining AA because they end up drinking too much trying to make it all work.

MSDN Magazine still exists?

Yesterday a coworker has a subscription (printed version) that he never reads and asked if I was interested in them. I said "sure!" Sigh. The ads were more interesting than the articles, but only for a few seconds. I miss the days of Byte magazine, when it was a 500 page tome filled with cool software tricks and cooler DIY hardware stuff. But times change, and for that I now look at the IoT online mags, where some of the hobbyist aura I so loved about this field when I was a kid is happily having a reincarnation. And they say you can't relive your childhood.

Yeah man... paper is out. Apparently this digital stuff is catching on.

BYTE was a great magazine, with the Circuit Cellar my favourite part. That part lives on in a magazine called Circuit Cellar Ink, although the original author Steve Ciarcia has since retired.
