I thought it was not dry cleaning your code. Followed by not putting legs on avatars.

It is a common thing to say that reflection is slow.You will find tons of posts saying this, and I generally tend to agree to them, although in most cases we generally don’t need to care that much – in fact, so many libraries and frameworks that we rely on daily depend on it! Something to reflect upon

I use reflection in pretty much every app I write.
It's pretty handy when you need to move data from a model to a viewmodel and back, especially considering that the model schema will often not match the viewmodel schema.

The 2D emoji in Windows 11 could be just temporary Just like none of you asked for
I guess the icons are all done, so time to update the emoji?
|

I had this vision of Microsoft releasing a patch solely of 3D emojis and suddenly patched computers burst into flames.

Combine this with the AI that can make talking faces, and pretty soon you'll have the next incarnation of Clippy! Then they will bring back Microsoft Bob! They will call it Windows 13 - the last version EVAR!!! The universe will have come full-circle! Yay!
ps - Control panel will still have a Windows 3.1 interface.

AV-TEST, the IT Security research institute based in Germany, released its December 2021 best anti-virus programs assessment report for Windows 10 home users. Yes, it's good enough

Well, they certainly have the funds to infiltrate hacker teams with double agents.

A team of computer scientists at TCS Research in India has recently created a new model that can produce highly realistic talking face animations that integrate audio recordings with a character's head motions. Then they came for those people on the network news channels and I did nothing as I was glad to see them gone

Does it do the Indian head nod?😂😂😂

It can even do realistic simulation of Rabbit talking! Amazing!

I'm deathly afraid of someone finding a pic of my ex wife and making it talk. I spent a lot of money so I don't have to see/hear her anymore.

The data-tracking "cookies" at the heart of concerns over online privacy were meant to shield people, rather than serve as cyber snoops, their inventor told AFP. "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft a-gley."
And by "gang aft a-gley", he of course meant "The street finds its own uses for things"

Microsoft says that its Update Connectivity data has highlighted how much internet connectivity time a computer needs so that a Windows Update can be successfully delivered to it. Mental note: only leave computer on for 7 hours at a time

The article doesn't mention the 'feature update pool' on the server-side that staggers the update distribution. In the old days after a feature update, as the sun would rise over New York and everyone turned on their computer the Windows update servers would be hammered as everyone got the update on-demand. This resulted in huge spikes of network traffic.
Now your device ID is added to a pool and it's completely possible to check for a feature update and get a response of "Nope! Nothing available" as the device id is not queued.
There could be an unintentional side-effect of missing updates because of the server-side update pool. Leaving the computer on gives a higher chance that when your device id is queued... you get the update.
I think Apple iOS and Google Android also do staged rollouts. It's done this way to go easy on the rural ISP and not overwhelm the smaller network infrastructure.

In the Developer Community site that Microsoft has set up for reporting problems and requesting features it can sometimes take years for developer asks to be addressed by the dev teams, so it's a pretty big deal when one gets advanced from Under Review to On Roadmap. Make the pain go away!

It’s hard to escape the hype of the metaverse even if you can’t experience much of it. Last year, both Microsoft and Meta (rebranded from Facebook), demoed their virtual worlds of the future. Because they don't know how to use them

‘Clean’ isn’t a measure of anything useful. Code can’t be clean simply because ‘clean’ doesn’t describe anything about code. But I washed it three times!

It requires dry cleaning.

Really? An iOS developer? With just a few years of experience?
What makes Steve think he has the street cred to offer up an opinion, or that his opinion might matter to people taht have been in the trenches longer?
