I've primarily been a .NET Developer (a few stints using Java/Python) since I finished college when the original .NET first RTM'd (2001). I think today's Microsoft and the Microsoft of 20 years ago are very different. Make no mistake about it, they're still interested in making money first, but their strategy has changed (it had to.) I think that old reputation haunts them (and .NET) It's too bad, because it really is a great cross-platform framework (at least on the server side.) I will often try other languages/frameworks for my side projects and I always go back to .NET. Maybe it's because of familiarity or because I'm obviously more productive with it than Java/JS/TS/Go/Rust/Elixir/Python/etc.

> Any sensitive military aircraft would (should) not be transmitting this data, and so would not show up on these services.

In addition to jjwiseman's comment that Mode S tracking and TIS-B are still widely useful (something you can easily see for yourself in many parts of the world, including around the 305th Bomb Wing in Tampa (near my recent home of St. Pete), which are a joy and marvel to watch), I want to add one more comment:

I don't think it's reasonable to take as granted that any particular party (especially those which are taxpayer-funded ) "should" refrain from transmitting surveillance and telemetry data. Rather, I hope we develop a society in which anybody who is flying a large, fast, dangerous piece of metal through the sky is required to report, via such an open standard, these details for all to see.
Visual studio is a pretty nice development environment. However, when compiling c++ software it routinely takes much longer than compiling with make on Linux on the same hardware (dual boot). Close to 10x longer! This is with cross-platform cmake projects. Anyone else experience this?

>I grew up in Midwest USA and lived for an extended period of time in NYC. "Small talk" is almost non-existent in NYC where it is very normal to stop on the street in the Midwest and converse with complete strangers.

I grew up in NYC and have lived in a variety of places around the US.

To a certain extent, your observation about NYC is valid. But only to a point.

In NYC, if you're walking down the (very crowded) streets or on the subway, since there's so little personal space, it's considered rude to just stop and start talking to someone.

That said, if there's a reason to interact, most NYers are polite, pleasant, kind and helpful.

What's more, if you're in a situation that calls for it, you can have wonderful conversations with New Yorkers. I do it all the time. I just try not to invade the limited personal space of other people.

It's not that "small talk" doesn't exist in NYC, it's just that where and when such conversations happen differs from other places.

I've lived a a bunch of different places around the US, and there are significant differences as to the etiquette surrounding interactions with strangers.

It is a bit of culture shock though. I went to college in the midwest (Cleveland) and for the first month or so was quite taken aback by all the strangers who'd say hello as I walked by. I got used to it after a while.

I think it's more about introverts vs. extroverts.

As an extrovert, I'll pretty much talk to anyone, anytime. In fact, I pretty much never shut up.

OTOH, a goodly number of those who spend a lot of time online are introverted or just misanthropic.

As such, if you ask a lot of folks who are online, you're more likely to get responses like "Why would you want to talk to someone else?" because the folks who actually like interacting with other humans in person are doing that instead.

That's more anecdotal experience and reasoning to consider.

Edit: As tomjen3 pointed out[0], it's not just introverts and misanthropes who are uncomfortable talking to people IRL. Folks with social anxiety disorder and other issues are also in the mix too. Thanks for bringing that up, tomjen3!

It's not, storage is mostly a logistical and political problem. Logistical in the sense that the storage needs to be secure on timelines longer than a few generations. Political in the sense that no one wants it in their back yard.

Congratulations. I don't think investing a windfall is much different from investing in general. Some low-cost Vanguard ETFs are VT, VTI, and VTEB, for international stocks, U.S. stocks, and muni bonds. How to allocate among such funds depends on your risk tolerance and possibly your market views.

I wonder if they will update vscode for .net6, does anybody know?
Ya, I'd be curious to hear how orgs are thinking about it. It could be that the risk of a copyright judgment against the org is outweighed by the efficiency gains from Copilot. The risk involved has an element of discoverability – how the heck is the OSS developer whose small snippet of code gets sucked into a closed-source project going to learn of the infringement?

Other stuff within copyright makes infringement of a small Copilot snippet less likely too, and the recent Google v. Oracle decision reinforced the fact that copyright is an awkward fit within copyright and may sometimes get less protection than things like fictional books. Fair use also comes in here, too; remember something as "egregious" as Google copying 37 Java packages worth of package / class / method declarations into Android was held a fair use. Declaring code is sort of special because it's more like an interface, but the Court really reinforced the notion that it likes cool new technology stuff that opens new markets, makes new products, etc., and a fair use finding for small snippets of code is in line with that as adapting copyright doctrine in the face of tech changes like AI / ML.

1) You are making an hypothetical based on orders. Which amount to nothing.

2) Searching google for "shock grenades on a girl israel" will show you first a Jewish Ultra-Orthodox girl getting hit around a corona protest last year:

If you actually look into local chinese politics you see a lot of stupidity, nonsense and power games there too. A combination of factors makes this less apparent to the typical chinese or american observer although, in different ways.

Why is this bad? If foreigners don't move to Portugal then they contribute zero in taxes and to the economy. If the Portuguese government convinces people to move to Portugal with tax benefits, they will pay taxes and spend their income in the local economy.

Resident evil 8 runs better when it is stripped off its denuvo protection. As confirmed by Digital foundry's video.

https://youtu.be/UXZGCwAJpbM

https://www.pcgamer.com/resident-evil-village-drm-denuvo-stu...

You will now see a huge influx of video games being stripped of denuvo because it literally shits itself in 12th gen Intel chips and games become unplayable with denuvo.

> And generally, it only serves to protect the first few months of sales, it is not uncommon to strip out DRM after that.

Nope, disagree. The only time they strip Denuvo out is when the game is cracked by warez scenes or if the cost of paying denuvo gets bigger than the people actually paying for it.

Some video games which are out for well over an year but just got denuvo removed in the last 2-3 months out of the blue. It is because of denuvos incompatibility with win11.

1.Shadow of Tomb Raider (3 years)

2.Rise of tomb raider (6 years )

3.Injustice 2 (4years)

4.Jedi fallen order (2years )

5.Nier replicant.

> AAA games rely on advertising for that and run close to market saturation so pirate copies are more of an opportunity cost.

Trust me when I say people who pirate are usually the ones who never ever buy video games. Pirates can never be considered an opportunity cost. Not trying to glorify pirates, but people waited patiently for over an year to play RDR2 till it got cracked, so that they don't have to pay outta their pockets.

Why AI won’t replace developers
I don't have any skin in the game here, just an observers perspective.

That suggests a cool little project to build a module that fakes the output of an accelerometer without being obviously fake.
It is a chore to open your mouth. A person shouldn't be subject to being prepared to engage in a 100 different conversations for the crime of walking outside their house. It also doesn't help that the vast majority of interactions are negative (pan handling, cat calling, sales pitches, political affiliations, religious evangelism, scams, asking for favors / free stuff, bullying, snooping, etc.)
I think there's something a little more complicated than that going on. I remember even when I was a college student who rode public transit in Saratoga Springs (small city in up state New York), it was normal to start a conversation with random people on the bus, or with the bus driver. Sometimes I would initiate it, often others would.

That just doesn't happen in New York. Maybe that's due to space constraints, but it's not like I'm blocking the flow of traffic more or less when I talk to someone on a bus.

I like New York a lot, but this sort of small talk with strangers is absolutely something I miss.
There is no GAC.

> .NET Core and .NET 5 and later versions eliminate the concept of the global assembly cache (GAC)
That wasn't my experience, pre-raspberry-pi.

There were projects, sure - but they rarely sold in large volumes. That meant not many paid developers. And if you had a problem you'd be lucky if someone online had even experienced the same problem, let alone found a fix for it.

Every chip vendor seemed to have their own kernel fork with their own patches, and didn't much care to get them upstreamed. And of course, their kernel would be ancient - they're selling it for things like automotive infotainment systems which don't give a shit about security.

Want to attach, say, a battery-backed RTC to your SBC? I hope you know the difference between a dtc and a dtbi. And even if someone else has been nice enough to get the same part working on their SBC, just because a TI processor needs the line 'dmas = < 0x21 0x1c 0x00 0x21 0x1d 0x00 >;' doesn't mean you can copy that to a Freescale processor and expect it to work.

More than once I brought SBCs that came with a connector for a MIPI camera - but no camera available, and no software either. You want a camera? Plug in a USB webcam.

And let's be honest: If you want features like wifi and hardware h264 support you're going to be dealing with wonky binary firmware anyway.
Nitpicking, but Japan and South Korea rose by being, deliberately and thoughtfully, protectionist, not isolationist. China's doing the same thing now.

It seems to be the definition of general superintelligence that they are putting forth here. That superintelligence is a turing machine that "knows everything" - e.g. it knows every possible program that can be run (e.g. including simulators for physical phenomena), and the state of the world, with infinite RAM for computation, etc.

Not the parent, but if I were to spitball an idea, it's that the vast majority of the population of a university is young, and does not have much world experience of their own, or enough peers with such experience in the world. Even if the people leading an idea are actually informed and experienced, the people following them may not be and are only emotionally charged on the idea. And since it's only emotionally charged, they have no way to discuss the idea except with emotions.
I've been doing this stuff for > 30 years. I've never ever had a discussion where this was said:

I was born in Brazil but I am currently in process to try to get a Portuguese citizenship (my ancestors are portuguese and raised me to be portuguese, I was only born in Brazil).

I am considering moving to portugal even, but I must say I was shocked when I saw that income taxes for me would be 45%? And I was thinking I pay too much in Brazil at 27.5%...

Are portuguese services really, really good at least? (in Brazil the services are not very good, we pay taxes + private education, private healthcare, private security, and the government expects private sector to build railways, etc... hell, some places people have private army too, with some parts of the country you being safe only if you bribe the army itself or hire mercenaries...)
For every company that introduces a positive change into their hiring process that is 'obviously better' for both employers and employees, there are 9 (or more?) companies that will thoughtlessly add it to their already endless interview process.

It's also super inconvenient to need to take an entire day for a job interview when I'm probably talking to several other companies and still have a full-time job. It can be worth it for the right offer, but it usually isn't.

This is also common on the IT/Ops side of the house. E.g. Trying to explain that VLANs, LLDP and 802.1x are not Cisco specific. Often there are just flat misunderstandings of how to identify 'technical' experience.

You're 100% right - though I don't think it's easy to risk it in Portugal, neither it's praised.

I think our worst problem is that the majority seems to be ok giving the appearance that they're ok in life. I can't blame them, like some said: we have good weather and good food... low cost flights allows us to travel and post on social media showing we're going places... so in reality it seems like everything is ok.

Yet it's not.

Agostinho da Silva might say we're fulfilling our destiny of being "vadios" and artists, since he claims that's a way of living very rooted in our culture, waiting for machines to come do the work for ourselves. If that time will ever come, will be pros.

No, I’m demanding they support their allegations before killing people. Giving the state unfettered access to kill and jail god knows who based on unsupported allegations of terrorism is very dangerous territory, and any right thinking person should be wary of handing out that kind of power.

Saying this is about making me “feel better” is pushing the limits of good faith discussion, don’t do that.

You're probably thinking of the "First Click Free" program, which was intended mainly for news sites, and required those sites to present users with the full content of an article if they arrived on it by clicking on a Google result.

For an internal tool that reformats our code base, I've used that to pack the `dotnet format` (although technically, not allowed case, since it's a tool, and need to be run from an "sdk" environment). It works for what we use it (whitespace formatting, but not for msbuild/analysis - which is clearly understood).

One thing though, is that native .dlls are still outside (DetoursServices.dll for example in BuildXL). But still pretty impressive what it can done. That, and the new embedded .pdb (for .NET only, e.g. not native).

I wish "publish" was used more by the place I work for (most of the folks would simply Release (F5) and store what's there in p4). I've only recently discovered about "publish" and that is after haven't worked with .NET for so long...
