As a developer you make repetitive changes to your code all the time. In many cases you don’t even realize that you are doing a repetitive task or that Visual Studio IntelliCode suggestions can help you. It looks like you're trying to edit some code, would you like us to repeat that change blindly throughout your codebase?

Although I can give you Intellisense is damned powerful and can be really useful, I still think it is a doulbe edged sword and many times can break things in very "funny" ways, specially if you blindly trust it as you say.

Microsoft is ramping up the forced rollout of Windows 10, version 20H2 to more devices approaching end of service (EOS), as part of a new rollout phase. In case you were wondering why your machine rebooted itself recently

Perseverance is running on none other than a PowerPC 750, a single-core, 233MHz processor with just 6 million transistors that’s most famous for powering the original “Bondi blue” iMac from 1998. Can I get it in Blueberry?
Although I guess for Mars it would be either the Tangerine or Strawberry ones.

Quote: To make the system even more durable, the PowerPC 750 chip in Perseverance is a little different than the one in the old iMacs. It’s technically a RAD750 chip, a special variant that’s hardened against radiation and costs upwards of $200,000.
Yeah, I'll take one! just put it on my tab.

If it works, then don't fix it.

Can you still buy them?
P.S. PowerPC 750 chips I mean, not Perseverance rovers.

All the universe is a neural network, and all the humans merely nodes "I always thought something was fundamentally wrong with the universe"

Presumably the result of the computation[^] will be either "What do you get when you multiply six by seven?", "How many Vogons does it take to change a lightbulb?", or "How many roads must a man walk down?".

And it knows itself that it's wrong, too.

Microsoft says that Windows Server 2022 will come with security improvements and will bring Secured-core to the Windows Server platform. Why new security features? Did something happen?

Does this mean I can control when it reboots?
Or, wonder of wonder, does it mean it can use all its cool new virtualisation features to do patches without the need for rebooting?
Nah... that would be too clever by half.

Please let this be coming to Win10 too. Data rot affecting timestamps all over my system due to multiple timezone changes is the absolute worst part of trying to debug timezone related problems in code.
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?
