Shouldn't they start by doing it themselves and stop breaking things and opening security holes just for the sick of unasked icons?

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?

Microsoft Corp. has been a major beneficiary of the work-from-home boom spurred by the Covid-19 pandemic. But Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella is realizing the pitfalls of being away from the office for so long. He's onto my secret!
Especially today. Sorry for those that read the news during the day - I was out of the office all day and couldn't submit.

Quote: "Thirty minutes into your first video meeting in the morning... you are fatigued."
Why the video caveat? Five minutes into any meeting in the morning is tiring. (On the other hand, without meetings what is middle management supposed to actually do?)

Just as you suspected, Big Tech is dominated by monopolies, a House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee found. Nothing gets past those guys

Quote: Amazon released a lengthy statement in which it argued that being a big company doesn’t necessarily make it an anticompetitive one...

Artificial intelligence seems to be making enormous advances. "The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human... sweat, bad breath, everything"

It's almost like these scientists have never been to the movies.
Whenever Man tries to create life/intelligence it always ends badly.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I just think the opposite, I think many do have been to the movies.
It is just that they are so arrogant to think they will make it better, at the end, "it was only a film / science fiction".

They also tend to look a lot like Arnold (muscle-wise).
I would think they'd be easy to spot. 
The difficult we do right away...

C++ Core Check is Microsoft’s static analysis tool that enforces the rules from the C++ Core Guidelines, which is maintained by the C++ Foundation. The code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than... oh, wait.

It'll be interesting to revisit this to see whether it has become useful.

We’ve launched a new Game Development with .NET section on our site. It’s designed for current .NET developers to explore all the choices available to them when developing games. Just minor pauses in treasure collection for garbage collection

It's about time they give .NET some game development love again!

The crux appears to be whether APIs--but not their implementation, which was done independently--can be copyrighted. An interesting debate.
