Visual Studio gives C++ developers a productivity boost, plus better debugging for Blazor WebAssembly offline apps. Still no help with the belly-button variety

Of course, this means that until you've completed writing line 253, lines 18-64, 93-98, 115-139, 176-183, and 221-230 will be full of squiggly lines.

Paradoxically, the more you save on a flash drive, the lighter it gets. In case you're getting bored with all the isolation, now you can test this

{*sigh*} Where did this idiot study?
You don't "add" electrons, you just move all the unattached and free-spirited ones to one side of the dance floor.
Net weight change: zero.
However, you could possibly say that the stick becomes heavier when you plug it in (but don't take that as being a fact, because I don't know exactly what current flows there are in a USB stick).

You could also argue that the more it is plugged into the machines, the less it weighs as the contacts wear down.
On the other hand... It could weight more as it is charged due to dust being attracted to it.

I think that their hard work in the creation of new bugs has something to do too.

I'm just so incredibly sick of hearing about troubles with windows 10, now that I no longer have to suffer it myself, and it saddens me that so many people are losing time and wasting effort because of all their incompetent decisions and changes.
winio is yet another example where "IT'S FOR YOUR SECURITY!" has been incessantly screamed at people, to make them bend the knee to irrelevant behaviour of tyrannical idiots.
Security? I'm typing this in a VM with weven loaded. Let's see satya's sh*theads beat that, for security.

It is 1994 and I am a second-year CS student at my first internship at Microsoft on the Visual Basic compiler team, reading the source code for InStr for the first time. When an irresistible enthusiasm meets an immovable block of code

Not too long ago I worked somewhere that used static variables for global values instead of constants. I began telling the senior dev there why it is better to use constants, starting "When you use constants the compiler....", he then interrupted me quite irate and said "What do I care what the compiler is doing? Why should the compiler affect how I code?"
Ohhhhkayyyyyy.....

Yup, it's next to the one saying "Nearest intelligent life: second galaxy to the right, and straight on till morning"

Microsoft is still intending to bring its unified Microsoft Search technology to Windows 10, but not until the end of this calendar year. They're still trying to find it
I thought they had a unified search?

At last count, they had three unified searches -- but if cursor shadows are on and there's green in your desktop wallpaper, two of them don't work.
The way they do it, unified is just "unidentified", without teeth.

After making the announcement that Microsoft was planning to retire several of their very popular certifications on June 30 of this year, Microsoft has confirmed that the planned retirement of their Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD), Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE) and Microsoft Certified Solutions Associated (MCSA) certifications were being put on hold. Oh good, I'm still certifiable (for a while)

It's no problem, anyway. when they're "retired", you can just go to a different section.
I think it's Section Eight.

"A new study" shows this?
More like "every single study ever carried out on the subject".
But of course all the studies reach the same conclusions. Writing a few scripts to connect the dots that lead to the keyhole in your bedroom door doesn't take a huge team of highly-trained rocket surgeons.

NASA’s Voyager 2 probe flew through a blob of charged gas called a plasmoid decades ago, and scientists only just now realized it. Pardon me
You may say I'm juvenile (and that I'm mispronouncing the planet's name), but I'm not the only one.

But Venus is #2, so yours would be a #7 dream.
Anyway, never mind all that astronomological stuff, we need to focus on getting things right on Earth: start knocking down walls and building bridges until we can all have a happy Christmas because war is over.

Farnsworth: I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
Fry: Oh. What's it called now?
Farnsworth: Urectum.
