Office has been available for Mac for well over two decades. There are so many more reasons for companies preferring Windows on the desktop than just Office.
Yes, indeed. But will that change also apply to the other projects that target .NET Core (now ".NET")? Will Entity Framework Core become Entity Framework and clash with the 'full-fat' Entity Framework? The blog post suggests this won't happen by referencing ASP.NET Core 3.

And where does this leave the legacy .NET Framework? It reads as a sub-project of '.NET' (previously .NET Core) but it very much isn't because it provides a set of older APIs. We seemingly have two meanings for .NET now, referring to .NET Core (which I guess only applies when suffixed with v5+) and the wider array of .NET projects, whatever they are.

It takes away choice of parents about their children's bodies. That's not quite the same.

That's way to much punishment for the kids who don't really have a choice in this, and I'm not sure how it's less authoritarian to basically completely exclude kids from society for a decision their parents made.

Nested ?: is hard to read due to the precedence. It's better to spend a few lines and break it up:

If that is too much:

return a < b
? -1
: a > b ? 1 : 0;

Other possibilities:

return a < b ? -1
: a > b ? 1
: 0;

return a < b ? -1
: a > b ? 1 : 0;
I guarantee you the "little bit of planning" you're doing in C++ is far greater than the equivalent planning in Go to avoid the global allocator in your goroutines (i.e., allocate on the stack, use object pools, etc). I'm sure you still won't get to the same performance ceiling that C++ allows, but it doesn't mean "Go is bad at concurrency".

For many other niches, finding an active subreddit is a good way to find reputable vendors in that space.

E-cig users are especially vulnerable to counterfeit lithium-ion cells. For one, we tend to draw way more current from them than most other consumer electronics devices. Two, the batteries are in our face or pocket all the time.
My wife and I did this as our first date when we first started dating; we're both Christian if you're wondering why someone would do this on a first date. Unexpectedly, the lady we were to visit literally lived her last hour before she passed away before our eyes. We listened and comforted her husband for the next hour or so. We also listened to the CNA make the difficult calls to her children, some of which were out of state. It was a somber and humbling experience. Our seniors need love just as much as we do.

That is unrealistic (I work for gov ATM). There is no such thing as incentive in gov, stuff is mandated by low. You don't want to use IE ? Your problem, you can explain it to the judge. That is how majority of gov services work (not only IE, multiple domains).

We had services from ALL major IT companies in the world that still need IE (or Firefox, or Chrome, exclusively) , so this is even not strictly in gov or IE domain only.

Some gov companies are lucky to have somebody that lives in 21st century that is on such position that can change some of it but that is merely a fluke.

Don't underestimate the ability of people to ignore evidence if it challenges their personal beliefs. I know way too many retired engineers who refuse to believe the science because a certain TV network has convinced them that it's a political hoax.

That attitude even trickles down to more local issues -https://www.mprnews.org/story/2018/02/20/3m-vs-minnesota-wat... here in MN for example. Many of the people I refer to above are 3M'ers and believe that the State is extorting 3M. A couple of them are very vocally opposed to anyone installing water filters because of this.

It's not exactly a new concept that parents' rights to make decisions for their kids isn't absolute (e.g. the law requires that you send your kids to school, and it is not considered abuse if the state enforces that), so there clearly is some potential room for this.

How well does this do on slopes?
How does it remove them? Won’t the weeds just grow back?

Tertill whacks weeds using a spinning string trimmer, which cuts the weed off near the ground. Because Tertill lives in your garden and goes looking for weeds every day, weeds are always small when the robot finds them. A whacked weed may sprout again, but sprouting takes energy stored in the seed or root. By coming back every day, Tertill never lets a weed develop the leaves it needs to replenish this energy, so eventually the weed gives up and dies.

I'm sorry, but I am utterly at a loss as to how to respond to this.

If someone said to you, "I don't understand why Albert Einstein is held in such high regard. He won a Nobel prize for his work on the photoelectric effect. I don't know what he did next (besides discover relativity at some point). Can you elaborate?" how would you respond?
Well I believe you can now, but I thought I saw a recent announcement that said it wouldn't be possible with the next version.

When re-reading the article, I think what they are implying is that they are ceasing support for .net full framework and just renaming .net core ".net". If it is the case it is kind of a big deal, there is ton of .net full code outthere, that no one has any appetite to convert. If it is not the case, are they going to rename .net full to something else?

This article does the opposite of solving any confusion.

No it isn't, that attitude is terrible for society. There is no game, and "Amazon" doesn't have a job, the people who work there do. Running a business with the sole purpose of getting bigger and making more money is as immoral as it is common.
What we should be able to write in Go, but can't because the compiler (wrongly) imposes formatting:

else if b && c { v = 10 }
else if b && !c { v = 100 }
else { v = d }
> Chrome leaks the extensions you use,

Sure... "leak", wink wink.
It's not 10 lines, it's 8. Your implementation would need the function declaration and the } at the end too.

Now consider this:

return a > b ? 1 : a < b ? -1 : 0;

Or:

return a == b ? 0 : a < b ? -1 : 1;

Or:

return b < a ? 1 : a == b ? 0 : -1;

Are all these equivalent?

Figuring that out is much more difficult than their 8-line counterpart, at least for me. My eyes have to keep jumping from left to right in order to do the checks, like they would do in a piece of uglyfied javascript.

That said, context is everything: if your one-liner was the single line in a function called `comp` with `a` and `b` as parameters, I would not comment on it in a code review.

However, if this line was part of a bigger function, and if instead of `a` and `b` we had `someLongVariableName` and `someOtherVariableName` I would not approve the pull request until this "oneliner" was changed into something else (possibly a call to the `comp` function).
This is seriously my biggest ask of the new Terminal - once the chaos of Build slows down a bit, it's next on my to-do list :)

.Net Framework isn’t going away. They said in another post it will be supported as long as Windows is supported but it will only be getting “highly compatible” maintenance updates.
Sort of OT, AvE did a BOLTR on an AoA sensor last week. (from a military cargo plane, I forget which. Said plane has 4 of them)

Legacy net framework Will stop with 4.8, as said some months ago

I have started using minimum prices on my queries to filter this out. List an item for $1-499, you're no longer in my results.

(I would really just like a way to filter out multiple-product listings entirely. The only valid use-case is like, multiple colors or something. 99% of the time they're used to game search results and the prices are almost never good enough to be worth manually sorting through 200 identical listings vs just filtering them out entirely. But at least minimum price queries filter out one way they are abused.)

Also, filter to US sellers only. Usually if you buy from China then the savings aren't that huge, you'll be waiting a month to get your item, and if the item ends up not working then it's impossible to return it. On some items you are going to be getting the same junk anyway, but from a bulk importer shipping from the US, but other items with definite name-brands it does cut out a lot of the junk listings.

> I spent over 10 years in various prisons. Never once during those ten years was anyone raped in any of them.

I doubt it.

> Prisoners joke about it, threaten it, but will not do it, for the one reason called DNA evidence. It would really suck to become a sex offender while you're in prison.

Plenty of people in prison are already sex offenders, or are never getting out in any case (so that being required to register as a ex offender when they do is moot), so while that may dissuade some, it's clearly not going to be a universally applicable deterrent.

Of course, even where it applies, that's more of a reason to assure that a rape isn't reported and investigated, which can be done by means other than not committing it, such as being sure that the victim is sufficiently afraid of violent retaliation if a report occurs.

> There is also another saying from prison - "If you don't say 'No', it ain't rape."

That may be a saying in prison (and one which serves to discouraging reporting of rapes), but it's not an accurate statement about the law.
> If someone is still eating eggs, dairy and fish they are not 95% of the way to being vegan.

95% is obviously not a real number, but it's not far off when you actually look at the environmental impact of different foods[0]

> And cost? What makes you think being vegan is more expensive than eating animal products?

I should specify that being vegan and remaining healthy is more expensive than eating animal products. You could probably survive on lentils and be ok... for a while. But your diet will not be balanced. To eat a balanced vegan diet, you will need to buy a lot of fresh foods in comparatively higher quantities, and the cost adds up. Semi-vegetarians and pesco-vegetarians seem to have the most balanced diets[1]

should the need arise to migrate off one or more of those proprietary platforms

Fair point given how things usually go in the private sector. In the public sector, especially DoD, the rules of the game are changed.

What happens if or when AWS or Amazon ceases to exist?

Well guess what, they can't. It's now a national security issue so the necessary services will continue to be provided by a KTLO crew or DoD would facilitate a transaction where another company could absorb the needed technology and be contracted to support it. DoD is the biggest company on earth. FY 2019 budget is $686B.

DoD has a pattern of keeping mission critical end-of-life systems running and supported.

I'm currently advising the US Navy on moving some COBOL systems to Java. Those systems have been lovingly supported by lifelong Navy civilian employees for 40-50 years. Those people are now in retirement age and so they're "replatforming" to Java.

There really is no corollary in the private sector. The default for government systems has been the people who built it stick around and maintain it until they retire. For DoD the biggest risk isn't old technologies and changes in the private sector, it's brain drain when people retire.

You might ask yourself, what 20-something wants to work for the US Navy, as a civilian, and work on a Java implementation (ported from COBOL) for the rest of their career? Well, I'd like to introduce you to them. These guys could work anywhere but they like the Navy. They like that their work matters, it's important, and it's stable. The pay is below market but it isn't terrible. Keep in mind DoD isn't all in DC, many offices are in inexpensive places to live.

Frankly I'd love to work on systems with the meaningful impact that theirs have (non-combat in this case). Read about 18F and what it was like for the people who joined and how they stuck with it anyway.
No. The legacy stuff will be ported to be compatible with .Net Core but will still be Windows only.
The post is a vision-setting announcement about where .NET is headed. The finer details like you've described will be worked out in the following 1.5 years.
It would be more accurate if you replaced "greedy capitalists" with "humanity". I have been all over the world and materialism that is so denounced as a US/capitalist vice is actually prevalent EVERYWHERE. The desire to improve ones life and acquire material is universal to all people regardless of the ruling structure of their country. It is my opinion that what we need to focus on is a reduction of consumerism that prioritizes short term gratification; the "greedy capitalist" can't make money if no one is buying.
There's no conspiracy: operating your own hardware in a datacenter requires expertise, start-up costs, and additional time. That power, control and (later) cost-savings doesn't come without a few drawbacks.

Short-term budgets and time windows to meet deliverables shrank along with the costs. That's why so many are on the cloud.
I assumed C, and both values are of type int so they match.
I'm thinking that's their problem (and Microsoft's opportunity). As long as public websites don't see traffic in IE11 mode, it doesn't affect other web developers. Hopefully.
The first two sentences of the article sum up the announcement and eliminates most of the confusion:

Today, we’re announcing that the next release after .NET Core 3.0 will be .NET 5. This will be the next big release in the .NET family.

There will be just one .NET going forward, and you will be able to use it to target Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, tvOS, watchOS and WebAssembly and more.

I think Microsoft has been guilty of what you say in the past but this announcement and their product offering going forward could not be more clear.
What are they supposed to do? Run their company into the ground to be a sacrificial lamb in our capitalist society? Humanity is still a competition. Worrying about nature will get you bulldozed.

The drag and drop designer part of VS is not even what I think is cool about WPF. To me it's the architecture and the whole API. It's easy to make clean enterprise size applications with good separation of concerns (I've been a developer in the C#/WPF field for around 5 years). For other platforms - and Windows as well - the closest I know is Qt, including the drag and drop part btw. ;)
IMHO brands like Belkin are past the sweet spot, heading into the territory where the brand itself is too long-term trusted, so they can start skimping on quality for what you're paying. Take apart a consumer APC power strip for a good WTF. (And sure, I get that stamped metal strips still meet UL. But UL is like the bare minimum)

I feel bad pumping specific brands, but I've become an Anker fan for chargers. I was a fan of Aukey, but that's since faded from having one physically break (obviously then taking it apart), and their lackluster USB C implementation that feels too close to rebadged Chineseum. Monoprice is still good for cables, but has unfortunately gone down the high-overhead free-shipping path.
Nope! The new Terminal supports tabs, all by itself :)
I think there were so may more reasons. But what I see is all internal apps moving to be web based. 5 more years and Office is really going to be the last thing tying up corporates to Windows.
So, not about fines but about paying parents to vaccinate - Here's some information about cash incentives paid to patients for various different schemes: https://www.dc.nihr.ac.uk/highlights/patient-incentives.htm

> Parental financial incentives have often been cited as a possible approach to encourage uptake of vaccinations. In fact, evidence appears to be limited, according to an NIHR systematic review, and not sufficient to show effectiveness. The review did find limited evidence that incentives might not work as well as quasi-mandatory schemes, such as preventing children from starting school until vaccinations are complete.

This thing is cheaper and doesn't talk.
You guys should seriously consider the mental load all of this rebranding is having on your community. You have too many brands, too many names, and too many seemingly overlapping ideas.

I want to see .Net Standard die, not because of the technological merits of it or problems, but because you guys have created such a confusing mess and .Net Standard is perhaps one of the worst examples.

.Net Standard seemingly exists to consolidate compatibility between Core/Framework/whatever, but with you consolidating them under the "Framework" branding anyway there's no reason it should exist except to confuse further.

Either something is or isn't .Net 5 compatible. The end.
