kaspersky alwasy seemed to me to be good av... but in these days of free av, why would anyone want to keep it?

The bit about MS updating too quickly is a bit of a waaa.

|
|

Kasperky Anti-Virus is just a horrid spyware itself.

No specifics in that complaint; but in the past when they did go into details it was always MS replacing paid AV that was out of subscription by an extended period.
While you can made a strong argument that fully updated versions of Kaspersky, Norton, Avast, etc. are better than a fully updated version of Windows Defender (or WTF they're calling it this week). You can also make a strong argument for the reverse. OTOH anyone trying to claim a version of the former that hasn't been updated in months is better than the current version of Defender is either a paid shill or an moron. Without the latest definitions an AV tool is as elephanting useless as an exterior screen door on a submarine.

There will be a period of disruption but the product will be a renaissance in .NET. We have a lot to look forward to. Does this mean we have to wear those frilly collars when coding?

Hmmm... "decoupling of .NET from Windows" and "UWP" in the same sentence. A carefully wrote blog no doubt...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I can’t understate how big of a departure this is from things like Lightswitch and RAD / drag-n-drop programming, .NET’s mainstay of yesteryear.
Yes, because the command line is so much more superior as a way of developing large scale applications. 
The days of .NET meetups merely being poorly executed Windows Azure and MVC infomercials are numbered.
Gads, that blog reads like a infomercial.

Things are so much better now: I can't understand why I get this silly sense of frustration going through endless cycles of clean-rebuild-build to get VS2017 to compile relatively simple code prototyping forays.
And, how ridiculous of me to feel irritated as accessing VS2017 help via F1 takes me to a generic web-page for VS2015 that has no relevance to the .NET object selected in the code file.
But, there are some benefits (fringe) in being old, and on the sidelines: I often end up laughing at the juxtaposition of these incredible software development tools, now in the hands of "mere mortals," and their weird dysfunctions 
p.s. serves me right for over-riding my wait-until-later-in-the-game to upgrade any hard/soft-ware principles. I was noodling along fine with VS 2015.
cheers from the fringe, Bill

From Silicon Valley startups to the U.S. Department of Defense, scientists and engineers are hard at work on a brain-computer interface that could turn us into programmable, debuggable machines You first

No, you go.
I um... gotta do something.

Poor doctors.....
Patient A: "Doctor, I have a skin rash and when I checked my skin it's giving me an error message."
Doctor: "And.....the error message is?"
Patient A: "Methylprednisolone ointment missing, please purchase some from your local chemist and apply to the affected area"
Doctor: "And....have you tried that?"
Patient A: "Can you explain in more detail?"
Patient B: "Doctor, it hurts to swallow and when I checked my throat it's giving me an error message."
Doctor: *sigh*

So there's still a glimmer of hope for politicians.

As we had not enough with corrupted politicians... now you want to add hacked politicians to the equation?

Hell, they're already hacked. What I want is debugged politicians, those that do the right thing more often than not.

debugged != error free (sadly learned on the bad way)

While that's certainly true, I'll take debugged things over non-debugged things any day.

For the first time since 2003, Microsoft is considering a point release for C#. Currently marked as C# 7.1, the next version of the language is expected to include Async Main, Default Expressions, Infer Tuple Names, and Pattern-matching with Generics. They're still updating that old thing?
|
|
|
|
|
That default think looks ugly, and I'm not seeing any good problem for it to solve.
OTOH it's been a year or two since the last time MS changed direction and decided to let C# and VB.net be their own things, so I suppose we're due for a wave of converge all the things no matter how bad an idea any particular convergence is.

The algorithms predicted patient mortality 69 percent of the time. If you let an AI "examine" your organs, I think you'll be dying soonish
Also, I think I saw this movie
|
|
|
|
|
Now AI want's to fondle us hu.... We'll that came sooner than I thought. 
|
|
|
|
|
When you factor in the selection bias (people who pay for a CT scan probably already suspect their health) and demographics (people do tend to die of other things) I think you get a less impressive result though.

98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.
