My manager and I got off on a tangent in our most recent one-on-one on the subject of the durability of design mistakes in programming languages. It's good to create something that lasts, no?

What a dumb article. No matter what order you specify for precedence, there will be something to gripe about.
|
|
|
|

The relative precedence of those operators was fixed in mathematics and logic years earlier. It was a mistake, and regularly surprises new programmers.

This week saw a couple of improvements to Rubberduck, a project to upgrade the Visual Basic Editor (VBE) and "Bring the VBE into this century!" "You can't kill me, I'm already dead"
|

VBE? "Rubberduck"? A Newton's cradle made of lightbulbs?
They're a month early, publishing this.

You’ll find many articles online describing how to create very detailed design documents covering things like business requirements, data design, UI mockups, class diagrams… Most developers however will shy away from them. "Call me, call me in a sweet design"

File explorer search is now powered by Windows Search. Here is how the search experience has been improved in version 2004. Looking forward to new Indexing error messages
|

|

That's great for people who have SSDs, so have to turn the search indexer off.
And, now that I think about it, I don't recall ever seeing a tablet that has a disk drive advertised, so it's especially great that they're particularly targeting tablets with this great new innovation.
Once again, ms is right on the ball (if by "right on the ball" you mean "10 years behind the hardware").

Sorry, am i not reading this right, doesn't file explorer search not already do this?
Work computer still on 1909 -
type in search has a drop down of files without needing to press enter to make search
click on file in this drop down launches file in program.

Microsoft announced today that starting with Microsoft Edge 80.0.338.0 users will be able to have potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) automatically blocked from downloading. Like Chrome and Firefox?

If it will block cortana I would consider it.

Microsoft classifies a multitude of program categories as PUAs such as apps that would use your device to mine cryptocurrency, to display ads, promotions, or survey prompts, or that have poor industry reputation. Would that include WordPad, which purportedly will be pushing users to buy Word?

I guess that could happen when you start your numbering in the 20s with chaotic numbering intervals

Microsoft's roadmap for developing Windows applications is opposed by some programmers who want to see a cross-platform solution, rather than just being Windows-only. Too late to bring back Silverlight?

WinForms already is; small, efficient, tested by years of usage.
One of the successes Microsoft actually regrets

WinForms apps are generally fugly on high-DPI displays though.

This word I assume means "ugly" with emphasis.
Anyway, they are only ugly if you make them ugly as with all applications - especially those written for the various webby-style environments such as anything on apple or many websites that think that wasting space so that you have to have a huge HD screen just to see all the information is a good thing!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
