As long as the meltdown continues through at least September or October so I can get my new RTX 2080 (assuming the rumor mill is right about the upcoming branding) GPU at nothing worse than the normal new card demand spike markup I'll be happy. Beyond that I don't really give an :elepant: . The crypto-anarcho-libertarianism BTC started with interested me a bit, but it's reality has become more centralized than the global fiat money supply, operating the network via proof of pollution is turning into an environmental catastrophe that only benefits the coal industry, while the civil war over block size has limited the transaction rate to something far too low/too expensive to ever be anything beyond various forms of circle ing.

One of the biggest complaints about Microsoft Windows development is the lack of investment in Winforms and WPF; most of the new features exposed by Windows 10 are built soley for UWP. "Islands in the stream, that is what we are"

Yay! Airspace issues are back because we all liked them so much ten years ago.
Support for Windows 7 might be one reason why developers still use WinForms/WPF today, but the article is missing the fact that the UWP framework is inferior to what WPF offers. Well, I guess that's just the fate of remakes: The new movie can hardly compare to the original.

Quote: To address this, two new controls are being created: WinForms XAML Host and WPF XAML Host, which allow you to embed a UI written for UWP inside your existing WinForms/WPF application. Welcome to the Island of Dr. Moreau: [^]
«... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible? For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12

As much of a horror as that sounds like, assuming a certain customer I was working on a UWP app for does come up with funds for another round of work. The current app is all UWP, with the intent of being locked down in Kiosk Mode. The latter's been a real PITA to work with in terms of deploying new versions locally for testing (login as admin, disable KM on the user account, login as the user, run the installer, log out as the user, login as admin, turn KM back on); and it's run on top of the login screen sandboxing model has me concerned that the non windows store update approach might not work (would be launching a second headless UWP app to run the installer, never tested in KM before the stopwork), and the question of if KM would be compatible with some sort of remote access tool is a storm cloud on the horizon.

I have a feeling Microsoft would stop pushing UWP in a few years' times after widespread adoption is not received. A better solution is to let UWP application run outside Microsoft Store and on Windows 7 and above. I dun wanna be stuck with a UWP app which I cannot sell after Microsoft Store is closed down.

What are they doing? I mean with windows 10 and the new build with fixes over fixes ....when will it end? its like the Adobe Flash ...intentional security issues even after people don't even use it ! They already lost to android and apple in UI and if they throw UWP into apathy well..might as well go back to VB6 and asp.net 2.0 Muhaaaa !!!!
