For company now owned by Microsoft, funny that they don't mention C#.

Well, .NET basically translates to C# these days. The only people still coding in VB are the PMs on the product team I think.

I left a company in Dec last year that was still coding in COBOL and VB. Some VB.net, some even VB6. Even though I was on a team coding in C#, yeah, the PM of the PM's were stuck in the dark ages.

 yeah. Some PMs really should be acronymed BMs. “If it ain’t broke, keep updating until you can’t.” I’ve watched (and worked for) too many companies sink into doom because of that mentality.
I don’t mean you need to jump on everything week’s JavaScript fad, but at least stay with something maintainable and supported.

I doubt it. I have their Note 8, and use their SideSync program to mirror the phone on the computer, and it works great! (You can see notifications, open programs, type through the computer onto the phone, transfer files... - almost anything you want except talk through the computer to the phone, although you can dial from the computer.) The changes they presented appear to mostly be Samsung turning the code over to MS (which could seriously screw it up), but if they keep the existing base intact, it will be usable and worthy.
Who am I kidding. It's MS. They will screw it up somehow.

It's one of the reasons I stopped buying Samsung mobile devices, they are full of bloatware and you can get cheaper devices that are as good as Samsung's upper end products.

If they made such a tool for editing twitter "contributions", guess how much use it would get from a certain-coloured person who lives in a certain-coloured house.

In a new pair of papers, researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have come up with a new approach to streamline the process: a new system and design tool for automating knitted garments. I'm assuming it was written in Perl?

Let me guess, they use yarn to manage the dependencies? Probably uses a command line interface for any updates which is all the rage these days. No doubt they call that cli-MIT change.

They can take care of the "perl one", I'll handle the "stroke one", as many times as I can for all the babes they're going to put out of work.
I'm beginning to be in favour of AI-generated code.
If the people who write the code that puts other people out of work felt their pain, they might actually switch their brains to the "I'm not a self-absorbed, uncaring @rsehole!" mode.
If the only way to make them feel that pain is AI-generated code, then I'll stop working on generating useful AIs, and focus on hurting w@nkers who don't give a toss about the repercussions of the code they write.

I’m seeing thousands of return null statements in recent code reviews. Yes, I know you’ll find my fingerprints on some of that code, but as my mom used to say: "live and learn". Never say never again!
Between shocks and nulls, I guess that's the theme for today. As a bonus crossover event - "Never say never again" was a remake of "Thunderball". (close enough to lightning?)
These are the things that keep us alive some days.

Oh, so null != cubed russet potatoes, julienned baby carrots, and diced red onions.
OK, got it.
Thanks, Pal.

The guy’s an idiot. You do what’s appropriate for the situation. If a null return value is warranted, then by the hounds of hell, return a f*ckin null.

I seem to write a lot of methods that return an IEnumerable<T> where I use 'yield return' ... what else would I use when there are no T's to return ? default(T) is going to fail, or give me an instance.
