I don't see anything justifying outrage over this. If you don't want to use it, don't use it.
As long as it functions well enough to download Chrome or Firefox, it's OK.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Today, Firefox updated itself without giving me the option to keep the old version. I was shocked!

Research from digital transformation firm BoxBoat suggests that around one in four people spent time learning coding languages during the lockdown. It's a pandemic of programmers!

"Learnt the basics"
As someone who doing development for over 20 years, I don't feel threatened. A few months of tutorials doesn't impress me a bit, nor a byte.
Even better; the code they write is storing passwords in plain text. I will ask a ransom to fix it.

One in four?! Maybe a ton of folks took "Learn to code!" to heart.
But I call sheer and utter bollocks. Who did they survey, entry-level programmers?

A historic flood in QA...
I think 'learnt' is a bit large, if you really mean the 25%...

The Visual C++ team is happy to announce that C11 and C17 are becoming supported language versions in the MSVC compiler toolset starting with version 16.8 Preview 3! Maybe the standard team should have said they were required icons instead?
|
|
|
|
|
But are they supporting all of the C Standard Library?
Standard headers such as <thread.h> and <atomic.h> are essential for high-performance programs these days.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Here’s a counter-intuitive fact: Chances are all those features you’ve been adding to your design are hurting your user experience. Best not to put in any features to be safe

Yes, we hear it all the time: Photoshop is too powerful! But we never hear any complaints about their subscription model. /s

While there is some truth in what the author wrote, he forgets that what 10 features I need are not the same 10 features the person next to me needs.

Confusing experience with UI design; and clearly did not read the Ux guidelines.
It’s not only the external user experience that suffers from the rot incurred by the slow addition of features.A bullshit story if I ever read one. As if progress induces rot. If the latter is your story, then stop the VB6 development, or rot away as you deserve.

DeepMind's researchers are letting AlphaZero play with different rules to find out how to improve the game. Replace all the pawns with horsies!
I don't care what the rules call them, they're horsies!

Not being consequent and changing the rules too often...
I hope they don't fail and the machine ends learning that rules don't matter.

It is a near-final release of .NET 5.0, and the first of two RCs before the official release in November. It's go-live! It's GO-LIVE! {insert lightning and thunder here}
