But lovers of cr@ppy UIs can rejoice that the godawful UI designed and introduced for uwp will not be going away.

Pattern matching was introduced in C# 7.0 and changed the way we look at identifying the patterns and traits of our types. The changes in C# 8.0 make this even more intuitive and improve both flexibility and readability. "Methinks it is like a weasel"

This looks like a really useful language feature

This looks like a feature that is completely not needed and is just there to justify the jobs of people to make new features.
There is nothing inherently wrong with this feature, it's just that it doesn't bring any new functionality to the language, just syntactic sugar basically.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Well, it doesn't bring new functionality but it makes some things easier to write and lets you express something that wasn't possbile before but felt it should have been there from day one. Like, for example, I always wondered why I cannot use the switch statement for type matching. Now I can, and it's a good thing.
And there is some new functionality, like default interface implementations. The thing is: Introducing new features will likely require a change to the underlying runtime itself, and I like that C# was pretty conservative about that in the past until today. But, agreed, some of the syntactic sugar is already overloading the language, but at least you are not forced to use it. C++ is a really ugly language, now that C# is almost 20 years old and still readable and quite clean speaks for their designers.

They're trying to make c# typeless, like other bastard languages, such as VB, and javascript...
I don't like it at all.

I've got mixed feelings about this. Both the strong-typed and typeless concepts have their pros and cons. It's more frustrating that you cannot combine the best of both worlds into a single approach.

I "love" articles which assert that the new version/language "reads better" when it's blindingly obvious that it doesn't.

Yeah, we know: it's hardly ever a code smell when you try to find out the concrete type of a variable instead of working with its generic type information (interface, base class).

Facial recognition technology works even when only half a face is visible, researchers from the University of Bradford have found. Unfortunately for them, most people have 4/4 faces

I seriously doubt their claims. We don't hit 100 percent recognition with full face, how the hell can they do it with half?
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe they are using super-high def photos, ie, 5000x2500 px, or something, of only the half face? And matching it to only the five profiles they set up, one of which is that face? Don't know - didn't read. But with enough creativity, anything is possible. (That 'creativity' may include 'lying.')

Creativity and lying are synonyms for marketeering.

In this article, I’ll be looking at a Remote Code Execution vulnerability I found in Dell SupportAssist, software meant to “proactively check the health of your system’s hardware and software” and which is “preinstalled on most of all new Dell devices”.
...
The key bypass to this mitigation was in this sentence: “if the URL starts with http://, it will be replaced by https://”. See, the thing was, if the URL string did not start with http://, even if there was http:// somewhere else in the string, it wouldn’t replace it. Getting a URL to work was tricky, but I eventually came up with “ http://downloads.dell.com/abcdefg” (the space is intentional). When you ran the string through the starts with check, it would return false, because the string starts with “ “, thus leaving the “http://” alone.
So close, yet so far...

My 6-month-old Dell laptop doesn't have that problem... Because it doesn't run Windows, and therefore doesn't run any of the bloat/crapware that the various laptop manufacturers foist off on the user.

Gosh, YouTube was really bad looking in 2009. On the other hand, now that its design is not so ugly anymore, it's overload with JavaScript-fanciness.

Yes, it was a killing but it was euthanasia. Actually, I think they put it out of our misery.

Yes, this is good because it was one of google's first major misinformation campaigns against anyone who didn't want to use google products -- chrome, in this instance.
Since then, they've used similar misinformation campaigns for numerous things, like internet privacy, their absolute right to publish other people's material without paying royalties, etc.
It's nice to see that such a small company, that had such a small start as a provider of information on the Internet, managed to turn things around and become such a great giant at stealing personal information and producing misinformation.

For the last several months, we've been talking about an internal project ongoing at Microsoft, codenamed "Windows Lite" which is a new version of Windows powered by Windows Core OS and built from the ground up as a modern platform for new devices. Because Windows 10 was, "The Last Version of Windows"?
I'm not entirely sure that the acronym 'FFU' is their best choice.
