The really big improvement is adding support for .NET Standard 2.0. UWP developers now have access to ~ 20k more APIs. This release brings UWP to partity with the other .NET implementations that support .NET Standard 2.0. Now everyone can write apps no one wants

Swiss scientists have found that 43kg of gold worth about $1.8 million is passing through Switzerland’s wastewater each year. News? Or just a statement about the Swiss?

Today when people started waking up from their machines automatically updating during the night, however, they have been faced with a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) instead of the Windows 10 desktop, and unfortunately, no-one seems to know why the installations are failing, only that it relates to KB4041676, which is yesterday's update. Three big cheers for automatic updates!
This one affected me - ended up having to reset the machine. At least now I have a clean build again

Oh no.
I just made USB recovery drives for two of my home computers, last week.
Does a recovery drive allow you to save your computer from completely rebuilding it with this particular problem?
I want to go home and try my computer to see if it's okay.
EDIT
Also, sorry to hear about your machine, Kent.
EDIT 2
Found this posted on Microsoft's Forum :
My computer keeps restarting because windows update won't install - Microsoft Community[^]
Root cause defined as: Assuming my theory is right and you guys caught the delta patch problem -- Bottom line Microsoft accidentally pushed the Delta updates to the WSUS channel. If you happen to have caught both, this will bsod a machine.
To anyone reading this from the Neowin post link -- this is NOT as a result of the patch - it is a result of having TWO updates being pushed to the machine at the same time. The Delta patch should not have been placed on WSUS channel and was expired last night.

Yes, a recovery USB is an option to save you from the rebuild.
Still, Win10 must know it's a common scenario - it didn't take that long to rebuild the machine (less installed software). Maybe an hour or so to get a usable machine again.
Thanks for that root cause link. Hopefully it will save others.

Good to know. Less FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) until I get home. 
Glad the rebuild wasn't too bad for you.

It's a big step towards an actual, working quantum computer. Does it come with a dedicated graphics chip?

No, but it's Lego compatible.

and delivered it to Intel's research partner in the Netherlands, QuTech.
Must be a slow news day if the most interesting thing about that article was that a package got sent half way across the world. And no quantum computing involved!

From the Microsoft Graph to LinkedIn and beyond, Microsoft is betting on a graph database future Yeah, who needs structure?
|
|
|
|

Each node in the graph is an individual, with all his or her profile data.
Yet again Infoworld demonstrates its complete lack of knowledge of how a graph database anything works.
And if you need an explanation, no, each node is not an individual. Yes, some nodes are individuals, but other nodes are other things, profile data, posts, etc. That's why (assuming LinkedIn even uses a graph database, which isn't necessarily a NoSQL database either, more ignorance from Infoworld) its called a graph database, because nodes with different types of data are connected.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Java EE under Eclipse might not be called "Java." Oracle wants to restrict the use of the word in naming the platform, and also the use of "javax" for the standard package of extensions, because of branding intellectual property (IP) concerns. "By any other name would smell as sweet."
To your choice in definition of "sweet"

How many robots does it take to screw in a light bulb? The answer: just one, assuming you're talking about a new robotic gripper developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego. At last! It's been so dark in here!
|
|

|

All of those wires and cables are not going to work very well on a gripper (or end effector as we used to call them) that is supposed to rotate, or twist as it was described. They are going to have to make it work like a human hand where we release our grip, counter rotate, and then rotate some more.

Power cables always seem to be the nemesis preventing the robot takeover, aren't they?
