Unfortunately, true.

And he knows whereof he speaks draws. 
Verizon Communications was created on June 30, 2000 by Bell Atlantic Corp. and GTE Corp.
Adams did not become a cartoonist by mere happenstance: every morning while working at Pacific Bell he had set his alarm clock for 4 a.m.: he would get coffee and then spend the start of his day trying to create a new career for himself.

My initial reaction was "does anybody use this?" but looks like this is quite frustrating from people from older generation.

dotnet/csharpstandard provides a public space for the ongoing work to document the standard for the latest C# language versions. Watch with excitement as the Standardizing Committee standardizes the standard! (and maybe some paint drying while you're at it)

I suspect that much of the stuff added since C++11 is the work of a committee that attracts pedants who have time for nonsense. And that C#'s more extensive capabilities in various areas are the work of folks with a real-world focus. In which case C# may now start to suffer from the same evolution problems as C++. Fortunately, C# already seems to have added its useful things before the navel gazers could arrive, debate them to death, and push their nonsense. But judging from some recent posts, C# is starting to get cluttered, so maybe slowing it down will actually prove beneficial.

Spring is one of the two seasons of the year when Microsoft typically releases a new feature update for Windows 10, and that means we're due for another one soon. Spring has sprung, the grass has riz, I wonder why my computer went fizz

An unexpected 90 minute coffee break when a simple reboot turns into something way slower?
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?

Among the roles played by development managers is to serve as the middle man between the business and developers. "Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do, and they will surprise you with their ingenuity."
