This .NET Data Provider for SQL Server provides general connectivity to the database and supports all the latest SQL Server features for applications targeting .NET Framework, .NET Core, and .NET Standard.

Hey, it's not like one of my apps used the wrong SqlConnectionStringBuilder, which generated a connection string with the wrong version of the ApplicationIntent property for the SqlConnection I was using or anything. 
System[^] only supports ApplicationIntent; Microsoft[^] supports Application Intent or ApplicationIntent; the Microsoft connection string builder uses Application Intent.
No idea why they had to change it though.

Facebook is asking for the AI community’s help in bringing down NetHack — one of the most notoriously difficult titles in gaming history — and maybe help computers learn to simulate instances faster using fewer resources. With Facebook, it is too much to ask for permadeath?

Bingo.
The number of idiots I know who have installed Messenger, and thus, given my phone number to Farcebook is truly horrifying.

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?

You mean, just handle HTTP requests directly without all the overhead of pipelines, services, controllers, and all that other kruft? Like wow man, blast from the past! And probably nobody younger than 40 know how to do that.

To be honest... I prefer impersonal over incompetent jerks.
and I am not complaining, my current situation is way better than it was some time ago

Microsoft may have mistakenly leaked that the upcoming next generation of Windows 10 will move away from its current naming scheme and switch to a macOS scheme using geographic locations or development names. Because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows?
It couldn't just be that people are reading too much into errant metadata on a web page, could it?

After copying Chrome basing Edge in Chromium, they could have copied inspired themselves in google's naming scheme... at least it would have been sweeter.

Cross-protocol attacks could potentially steal login cookies or execute malicious code. This hack could have been an email?

Hmmmm,
Maybe this is a good time to let you know that the paragraph below is referring to sites like codeproject that utilizes free TLS services.
The scenario isn't as farfetched as some people might think. New research, in fact, found that roughly 14.4 million webservers use a domain name that's compatible with the cryptographic credential of either an email or FTP server belonging to the same organization. It's a simple and easy to understand concept:
Step 1.) Observe that codeproject is transparently using https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/[^]
Step 2.) Observe that the site certificate 'Subject Alternative Names' field contains *.freetls.fastly.net and *.global.ssl.fastly.net
Step 3.) Setup your free TLS account over at Fastly[^]. e.g. your.name.for.example.global.ssl.fastly.net
Step 4.) Observe that because the TLS negotiation checks for the match '*.global.ssl.fastly.net' that you can substitute site resources from your.name.for.example.global.ssl.fastly.net without a certificate warning.
The next steps might require an existing vertical position on the target (or destination) networks. A successful attack would result in running any javascript of your choice inside the target browser.
