The Google Nest Hub is the world's first commercial Fuchsia device. They want to corner the market on OSes by making all of them
Hey look - non-MSFT news!
As another website put it - "Google has released an OS you won't be able to spell" (or words to that effect)

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella teased this announcement during his Build keynote this morning, revealing he has been testing “the next generation of Windows” in recent months. Triple-pane with argon filling? (to go with the other green announcement)
Yes, kind of a repeat of the news item from yesterday. But a bit more official this time.

Microsoft is teaming up with GitHub, Accenture, and ThoughtWorks to launch the Green Software Foundation, a nonprofit that will work on establishing new standards to reduce the carbon emissions of software. I thought Apple retired the Carbon API years ago

I'd rather they tried to write reasonably efficient code. Instead, they piss away the performance gains given to us by hardware weenies just because the response time will still be OK with most users.

This is so elephantine stupid and pandering I don't even know where to begin. carbon-free software?

Indeed. But they can start with the fact that software is silicon-based!

One of my main customers will from time to time just start programs like this. After a few years, the trend fades, the people retire or culled, and we wait for the next cycle. What's odd is that there is no correlation to profitability, just the mission.
This is nothing but bad marketing. I would not want to be involved with this project.

It might actually be good marketing, because they will be seen as World Improvers. But World Improvement goes though fads, much like fashionware, so it ends the way you describe.

Microsoft's integration of the OpenAI GPT-3 technology into Power Apps is the first time GPT-3 will be available commercially in one of its own products. I hope no one goes after them for that language

What the ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ?
Software quality is going nuts using programming languages and they still think that using "natural" language will be better?
Besides... 'in plain English' is just a bad joke, isn't it? As there were just only one english...

Expletives can be (darned) effective, adding emphasis and meaning. Under the right circumstances, of course. "Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war."
F'ing a.

This is a major expansion of the Windows Subsystem for Linux, which already lets you run command line-based Linux apps, and it means you can now use GUI apps without having to set up a traditional virtual machine with a Linux distribution. Now you can run LibreOffice and get some work done
Yeah, I know it's available for Windows as well, but I couldn't think of any useful Linux GUI apps that weren't on Windows (I had already used Xeyes)
Have I mentioned just how easy my job is on Microsoft conference days?

Many features are in close-to-final form and others will come soon now that the foundational building blocks are in place for the release. Hot Reload: now you can code like VB3!
Another shocking release
|
|
|
|
|
We’ve added C++20 features, improved Git integration, improved profiling tools, and a host of features that accelerate productivity. Get it before the neighbours!
Well, that's a shock of a release. What with Build happening and all.
