Anything Windows-specific cannot be ported to .Net Core because it's "cross-platform". WCF is the big deal for me. Beware of using anything in the windows namespace if you're writing for Linux.

Microsoft is going to retire the ability to access all the files on a given PC through OneDrive later this month. Don't you hate it when they remove features you've never heard of?

at least they have given a month.
Other companies just tell you: "We are closing XXX... ah, and by the way, we closed it yesterday"

Code running on sites can be exploited to steal or leak data via client-side attacks enabled by the programming language, says Tala Security. Fortunately, we can all just turn off JavaScript, and enjoy a full-featured internet

With C++20 we get two new keywords: consteval and constinit. consteval produces a function that is executed at compile-time and constinit guarantees that a variable is initialized at compile-time. "Constant craving has always been"

The performance increase appears to be fairly significant

Microbenches are shiney, but what I'm really interested in is how or if the changes in aggregate affect real world systems. While I realize that's going to vary considerably from one application to the next; I'd love to see performance stats for a few functioning applications (web and desktop) to see if any of this matters in real world scenarios.
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?

Exactly. E.g. while I can write code proving that arithmetic overflow protection is costly, it does not affect our applications at all, despite a lot of number-crunching. Still such simple things are disabled by default and may result in strange errors (which may get undetected by typical users).

IBM's Global Technology Services has posted a job ad calling for candidates with a “minimum 12+ years’ experience in Kubernetes administration and management”. But if you do have the experience, at least you'll be the only candidate

Dontcha just love HR?

By applying for the job, you show proof that
- you do not care about requirements
- you tell lies when you think it's OK to do so
- you cannot do math
- any combination
Anyway, that's proof that you are competent for a job at that company.
