Pretty par for the course these days isn't it? Anything with a 4-part switch statement is getting called AI it seems.

Modern hardware often exposes a number of specialized non-vector instructions that can dramatically improve performance. In this blog post, I’m exploring how we’ve addressed this limitation in .NET Core 3.0. For those who miss #pragma

Brave presents new RTB evidence, and has uncovered a mechanism by which Google appears to be circumventing its purported GDPR privacy protections. Evilish? Evilesque? Evilicious?

Good on Brave!
I use their browser[^] on my phones, where you have far less control over what's going on. It works a treat.

This article aims to provide a high-level overview of expression trees, their use in modeling code operations and runtime code compilation, and how to create and transform them. I think that I shall never see an expression as lovely as a tree
Or something like that.
Oh, and a bunch of other stuff in this month's MSDN magazine (soon to be gone.  ) on F#, quantum computing, even python and VB!

Great article!
... If you start from the standpoint of someone who uses expression trees (and similar) all the time, and you want to Unlearn how to use them!
I mean, Jeeze! Could they be any more obscure or multi-biguous?
And right from the get-go, too:Quote: An expression in Visual Basic and C# is a piece of code that returns a value when evaluated, for example:
42
"abcd"
True
n
In what universe are those "examples of pieces of code that return values when evaluated"?
If you haven't read the article, just imagine how confusing that kind of misrepresentation would be when explaining stuff that you don't know inside-out (so it isn't obvious to you what they really meant), and, well, just forget the idea of reading it.

The article was opaque as the code an architecture astronaut wrote years ago trying to use them that neither I nor my coworkers could make heads or tails of.
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?

The bug is causing CPU usage to spike for some users, and it's related to SearchUI.exe. On the bright side, the extra fan blowing might help keep you cool

they must be sucking more of your data or doing crypto mining with your CPU
%SystemRoot%\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\SearchUI.exe
kill it and rename it

If it sparks up that you need TrustedInstaller rights to rename it, just use Unlocker to do the job.

After a tease in March, the USB Implementation Forum has declared that it has completed the USB 4 standard, implementing the USB-C connector, plus 40Gbps speed and other features of Thunderbolt 3. But the good news is that we'll (eventually) be forced to upgrade all our cables (and whatever they're connected to)

A survey suggests says that in our society of immediacy, our patience runs out within seconds. This is how many seconds. Article too long. I didn't read it, but maybe you can read the headline (and comment)

Speaking as someone who has an inkling about UX: the conclusions repeated in the article are bollocks.
People don't mind waiting -- really they don't.
What people don't like is being ignored.
Click a link:
0. Nothing happens
1. Nothing happens
2. Nothing happens
3. Nothing happens
3. Nothing happens
Result: Angry and impatient customers.
Click a link:
0. "OK! Working on it!"
1. Nothing happens
2. "Sorry; the Internet is a bit slow, today"
3. Nothing happens
4. "We're still trying -- thanks for being so patient!"
Result: Happy customers.
It's bad enough that too much money is spent on ridiculously unnecessary research; now we have to put up with research from people who don't have a clue what they're researching?

The language, Static TypeScript (STS) is used in all seven MakeCode editors, and its ability to meet the demands of programs requiring higher levels of performance is on full display in the latest addition to the platform, MakeCode Arcade. To some level of "rocket-fast" that I am unfamiliar with

Ah, yes.
That wonderful "help kids learn to code" tool from ms.
... Which operates entirely on the ms cloud, with all data stored on ms servers and subject to ms copyright, so that if any one of the million kids who sign up has a brilliant or innovative idea, it automatically belongs to ms, and the kid gets shafted.
That's the ms of today: The best way to treat brilliant people is to steal credit for their work and kick them to the sidelines.

The good news is that they already found funny nick names around the IA.
It will be clouded, relaying on networked WOPR hardware.
The IA name will be SkyNet because it is in the clouds.
They chosen MS for software, because of its strong record of fail safe products.
Just hope they will teach it the difference between winter massive grid breakdown and real attack or someone trying to pull the plug.
