For the first time since .NET 2.0, Windows Forms, a.k.a. WinForms, has received new features that are not High DPI-related. Just in time for them to deprecate it?
After all, Maui/WinUI/UWP/Blazor/Something else is going to solve all our problems, right?

When did WinForms get a version number, and when are they going to update WPF?

As of version 16.7, we measure up to 5X improvement in some incremental linking and debugging scenarios and up to a 1.5X speedup in full linking. So I can find my bugs faster?

Spend eight hours writing code and then celebrate that the compile finished early in your break, rather than later.
(Of course, you get back from your break and find that the compile failed after ten seconds due to an syntactically invalid comment in your code reminding you to not forget changing something.)

Russian hackers may have piggybacked on a tool developed by JetBrains, which is based in the Czech Republic, to access federal government and private sector systems in the United States. Well, it is integration software
Far be it from me to correct *THE NEW YORK TIMES*, but the Czech Republic isn't Russian. Yeah, the founders are from Russia, but that doesn't make the company Russian (IMO).

I think the New York Times views anyone to the east of Manhattan as Russian.
(I'm sure some companies I worked at are now breathing a sigh of relieve for having no project management.)

And to the west of Manhattan.

They need correcting if they are calling a company Russian that is based in Czech.

Something is garbled here. Your link says NY Times, but goes to a Financial Post article that correctly says Russian hackers broke into a Czech company...
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?

Yeah, sorry. I was debating using the two versions of the story and finally decided on the NY Times one, but I guess my clipboard disagreed. Here's the NY Times version (also just that Russian hackers used JetBrains software):

I'll update the link so that future clicks on it go to the right article.

the quote says :

it doesn't say JetBrains is Russian.

Agreed, but the headline does say, "Russian software company". That was what I was commenting on.

We’ve trained a neural network called DALL·E that creates images from text captions for a wide range of concepts expressible in natural language. And then they came for the artists and I did nothing because - look at that baby daikon!

Microsoft's Xamarin team detailed what's coming up for .NET MAUI, the evolution of Xamarin.Forms that will see the company take the open source, cross-platform framework for building native UIs for iOS and Android into the desktop arena -- but not to Linux. I'm so glad they're simplifying their UI models down to 15 choices
