If there's a good prize, everyone is going to game the system to get that. So... create as many as you can? (Mission Accomplished!)

A dev who believes that he doesn't create bugs is the same as a person who believes that he's a great driver.
As in, they only see crashes in their rear-view mirrors.

Chrome is deprecating the blocking capabilities of the webRequest API in Manifest V3, not the entire webRequest API (though blocking will still be available to enterprise deployments). Google is essentially saying that Chrome will still have the capability to block unwanted content, but this will be restricted to only paid, enterprise users of Chrome.
For the rest of us, Google hasn’t budged on their changes to content blockers, meaning that ad blockers will need to switch to a less effective, rules-based system, called “declarativeNetRequest.”

I don't think they will succeed in it. People who want to block unwanted ads will find other ways to do so, like PiHole etc. Or finally see the value in alternative browsers like Firefox again, and that a monopoly in this area can never be healthy to the web.

Pihole for the win.  I'm running two of those appliances.

Blocking potential malicious content should be done at the OS-level, and is one of the primary reasons why I am thankful that Google doesn't own MS or anything GPL'ed.

Video by engineers: [^].

'Our algorithm is robust to challenging scene conditions: local motion, occlusion, or scene changes. It runs at 100 milliseconds per 12-megapixel RAW input burst frame on mass-produced mobile phones.'

there are also similar algorithms for deblurring images.

Physicists have confirmed predictions of Stephen Hawking’s namesake theory of black holes using a black hole they constructed in their lab, according to a new paper. Wait a second. Back up. Laboratory black holes? Can I have one?

I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, but they are referring to a sonic black hole, which is basically a drain hole where the water is flowing into it faster than the speed of sound. Sound cannot escape from this, but light can.
:waves hand : This is not the black hole you are looking for.

Last summer, I poked a hole in the sand on the beach, and water fell into it.
This categorically proves that everything said about black holes is true.

Performance has been a big focus area for Visual Studio 2019 Because sometimes I have to post comedy items
But I guess they have room pre-prepared for improvement?
And true, it's not Eclipse.

When I use Visual Studio, I literally never thought "gee, I wish this started faster." It was more swearing at the various bugs that they haven't bothered fixing in the nine years since VS 2010.

Startup time isn't bad (except for the ms account login crap - takes 3-10 seconds depending on the quality of your internet connection), When you create a custom template, it takes about 10 seconds to get to update the template cache the first time you create a new project after creating the template (even if it's installed on a SSD).

My VS 2017 up and ready (no project loaded) in 2 seconds including login to team account...
So I can't see what room left for start-time improvements - it is maybe time to solve real problems (memory hungry, hangs, closes without a hint)...

Good for you. My VS2017 takes about a minute to start. The only heavy add-on is VisualAssistX but on other VS version it does not weight that much.

In the paper, "Project Almanac: A Time-Traveling Solid State Drive," University of Illinois students Chance Coats and others look at how they can use the commodity storage devices already in a computer, to save the files without having to pay the ransom. You just have to accelerate the hard drive to 88 mph
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, but is the cost of a power supply that can handle 1.21 jigawatts worth it? The ransom might be cheaper.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, and it is so hard to overcome. Just think of ways to really delete your files on disk...
