Today, we are happy to deliver the first preview of .NET 6 and share what you can expect from the new release. "So it begins" (again)

Dapr is an open source, portable, event-driven runtime that makes it easy for developers to build resilient, microservice, stateless and stateful applications that run on the cloud and edge. Buzzwords! Fresh, hot buzzwords here!

Buzzwords seriously let down by the fact that it's a "v1" release, and not some sort of pre-release-alpha-don't-use-this-yet-please-never-to-be-completed version.

Great docs. Absolutely no clue what it is or how to use it or what problem it solves but it sounds awesome.

Microsoft is taking a new tack in the Edge browser for displaying notification requests from websites. There are ones I want to see?

Quote: Microsoft is calling on site developers to provide permission requests after users have engaged with the site, which should improve the acceptance rate and allow the site to show the full prompt. And that, there, is the joke of the day. (Being advertisers submitting to such a thing.)

In rare circumstances maybe. >99.9% of the time no.
My employer used to use Gmail (for business) as our mail provider, and I was only using the web version; desktop alerts for that were useful. Slack alerts were useful until a few of my coworkers got too chatty and I had to turn them off as overly disruptive. Notifications from RandomCrappySite.com OTOH can right off.
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?

Kent - please do us a favor and stop citing articles from InfoWorld. I had to close popups/overs half a dozen times trying to read the article, after which I finally gave up.
The only way to stop people from using such abhorrent tactics is to deny them traffic.

He might be unaware of them. I didn't have any popups on that page. Maybe it is due to using a hosts file. Or Vivaldi is really good at clobbering popups. I don't know.

Just an article for me. Firefox with add-ons Adblock Plus, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, and DuckDuckGo Privacy Esssentials.

Fair enough - I didn't get the popups, but I've been increasingly unhappy with them lately. Their content quality has really nose-dived lately (and other reasons). On the ignore pile (unless it's really-really good).

They’re bogged down in endless unit testing and legacy code support. They feel like a worker on an assembly line. Brownfields, and I love them; often have the combined knowledge of multiple people over years. That's code that been maintained and fixed, and got nuggets you never find in a greenfield.
And getting paid to learn from it? Awesome deal
We are working an assembly line; code is mass produced, and a lot of improvements are "mechanical". Nothing wrong with that; I remember the y2k bug, with a lot of "search this and replace with this" instructions. It's honest work, and companies need it. We can't be all hero-programmers; and where's muck, there's brass.
..also, no popups; running just a custom host-file. Though, would be nice if I could turn that host file off for CodeProject, as it is blocking your income.

Most vulnerabilities exploited in the wild are years old and some could be remedied easily with a readily available patch. We will patch no bug...until it's time

A global survey of 950 developers published today finds more than a third (38%) of developers spend up to a quarter of their time fixing software bugs, with slightly more than a quarter (26%) spending up to half their time fixing bugs. There's more to development?
|
|
|
|
|
So do they also spend between 25% and 50% of their time writing bugs? If they skipped that portion, they could eliminate the fixing bugs portion, too!

I genuinely think that this is a very wise move on their part.
It seemed to me that O365 and the like were set to drive LO and OO into irrelevance.
