That's how I felt about it as well. I wonder who it was that noticed this "problem" in the first place? My guess is Mac devs, as they are the only ones I can think of with many spare USB-C cables lying around.
Plus, they'd be too broke to pay for the official cable.

Security researcher Jonathan Leitschuh has publicly disclosed a serious zero-day vulnerability for the Zoom video conferencing app on Macs. I'm sure the Mac folk don't mind sharing
A little surprised (and glad) it's not cross-platform.

OK, there is definitely a 'too early', but these look to be decent starting points for kids. And kids-adjacent.

(A friend once found that for one flight of his from the US to France, the various fees and taxes were more than 50% of the ticket.)

New hard-to-detect Astaroth campaigns spotted using fileless execution and living-off-the-land techniques. Because I like the term, "living-off-the-land technique"
But seriously, they'd have fewer problems like this if they'd *just show extensions by default*. {grumpyface}

Extensions just confuse the weak-minded.

The next major version release of the C# language (C# 8) comes with exciting new features. Let's look at two new features in C# 8, static local functions and the using declaration. Because 'using' wasn't used often enough already
But yeah, makes sense when compared to the using block.

|

PFFFFTT!!! The old ways are the best ways.

The static local functions could be useful, but I still prefer enclosing a using block variable in braces. I find this makes for eaier to understand code as it's obvious where the variable is being declared and what scope it has. It's scope is declared by the using block and is explicit. This way the scope is implicit so not as clear.

Understanding code isn't the point.

The scope for a using variable is the function or the enclosing block. Pretty simple and maybe enable more "C++ like" RAII

As a frequent contributor to open source projects (both within and beyond Red Hat), I find one of the most common time-wasters is dealing with code reviews of my submitted code that are negative or obstructive and yet essentially subjective or argumentative in nature. I can't imagine why this article is on the RedHat developer's site
