People who make hardware will just make different hardware, and people who write code will just write it against different operating systems, so no.

I saw four high-paying contract jobs advertised about a year or so ago. They didn't look like vapour-ware from the descriptions. I gather that even without the hardware they've been able to use QC to improve classical algorithms for machine learning etc.

Microsoft prepares developers to adopt its modern WinUI user interface platform. Because XAML^H^H^H^HSilv^H^H^H^HUWP^H^H^H WinUI is the future!

Some cretiun sais: "WinUI is powered by a highly optimized C++ core that delivers blistering performance, long battery life
...
Battery life?
Since when has battery life been an issue when coding?
...
Oh, sorry.
Stupid me.
This old fossil hasn't yet moved on to the stage where he writes all his code on his mobile phone.
Don't worry; I'll wake up to The Way of the Future! one day.
But seriously: if optimising for battery life is one of the main criteria in the design of an IDE, there is something failing miserably in the brains of the people in charge of the project.

The history of defect tracking in the Windows team goes back to Windows 1.0, which used a text file. Back when men were men, and bugs were fixed
Sorry to go all burly and genderist on you there.

Raymond, who only has one name, like Rihanna, said: I think Windows 95 went through three RAID databases during its life
Wait a minute...
Developers for windows '95 were using 8-Bit systems?
Jeeze, that explains So Much!
Raymond, who only has one name, like Madonna, said: I liked to joke that we should just get rid of that middle tier. It’s always the one that’s causing problems.
As opposed to real life, where it's always the guys at the top and the guys at the bottom who cause all the problems, and us guys in the middle have to live with all their sh1t.
Raymond, who only has one name, like Cher, said: Product Studio kept things going until Windows 8
But only as a makework, because the team had absolutely nothing to do -- very few bugs were ever reported for windows 8, because almost no-one ever used the PoC (no, that's not "Proof of Concept").
Oops! Missed a bit.
Raymond, who only has one name, like Divine, said: Product Studio kept things going until Windows 8, at which point Windows switched to on-premise Team Foundation Services for work item tracking
Because using cloud services provided by an external entity is just stupid, isn't it?
Raymond, who only has one name, like Fido, said: Even Azure DevOps wasn’t big enough to contain all of the Windows work items.
That's because bugs are a cumulative thing.
The more of them you ignore and don't fix, the more of them you end up with.

It is our hope this newest release will also brighten your day. Visual Studio 2019 version 16.5 contains anticipated new features from XAML, .NET, C++ and Debugging. Find the new bugs before all your friends!
Or at least the old bugs they didn't fix because "as designed"

According to a new study, however, one widely used algorithmic approach for modeling these networks is fundamentally flawed, failing to capture important properties of real-world complex networks. So let's call the whole thing off

Fancy-schmancy buzzword-filled apps fail to deliver everything their marketing departments promise?
I don't believe it for a second.
The guy claims that low-dimensional embeddings are a big part of the problem, so the obvious solution is to embiggen them*.

We have said this many times, but we will reiterate again; .NET Core and then .NET 5 is the .NET you should build all your NEW applications with. Aaaaaaand it's already deprecated for .NET 6... Oh, sorry, 7. Scratch that...

A lot have been written about the dangers of “Undefined behavior” in C. No, it's not 'compile'

It didn't seem auto-translated to me. Just extremely poorly written. It's like he barely speaks caveman.

I was being charitable.
Mind you, it's inspired me to add "You write like google translate" to my clip library, for when I'm reviewing work that people believe should make them millionaires.
