I'm less bothered by a just-as-evil-as-it-always-was clippy than I am by the f***ing mindless "security researchers" who produced and released it.
The laws that allow "security researchers" to produce malware really need to be revisited.

Wall Street Journal contacts claim that the search firm is poised to launch a "dashboard-like" element in Chrome that would not only show more detail about tracking cookies, but give you options to limit them That's for non-Google cookies, right?

tl;dr:
google hardly uses tracking cookies any more, because they've got so much other tracking stuff buiit into everything else they're involved in, but most of its rivals still rely on them.

Microsoft today announced the private preview launch of Visual Studio Online, an online code editor the company is positioning as a companion to Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code. For those who complain that VS performs too fast

Don't say I didn't warn you, when the ms office devs moved over to VS.
VS as a service is only just around the corner -- wait until you hear the term "VS 365", then bite the bullet and start trying out other IDEs.

Microsoft is launching a new command line app for Windows, dubbed Windows Terminal. It’s designed to be the central location for access to environments like PowerShell, Cmd, and the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). All your commandlines are belong to them

So they're gonna mess up multiple apps in one go...

Will it have clippy built in?
I see you just entered "date".
Did you mean the bash date command, or the DOS one?

which clippy? The dumb one or the evil one?
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Introducing .NET 5 | .NET Blog[^]
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

"With .NET 5, your code and project files will look and feel the same no matter which type of app you’re building."
But don't we already have that?

Or does that mean EVERY app will look exactly the same regardless of underlying function? Glad I'm not QA.

I might be unnecessarily grumpy but I do wish that they've stick to their naming conventions.
So .NET Core is now .NET. But that risk confusion with .NET Framework, surely (which is still alive even if Microsoft seems to wish it wasn't).
But I have to admit that "CoreFX will be extended to support static compilation of .NET (ahead-of-time – AOT)" looks promising.

It always was.

.NET has been more than the .net Framework for a long time.

Yes, I agree, to both your comments.
But neither of them is contrary to what I said; they are orthogonal to what I said. Branding (and too-frequent rebrands) really do matter, really do annoy, and really do confuse.
I am hardly the first to observe that Microsoft branding is a mess and has been for some time, especially but not exclusively with everything .NET-related.
".NET" (it's a framework but it's not quite .NET Framework) versus ".NET Core" versus ".NET Standard" (except when it's not really standard) versus ".NET Framework"...

Compound documents are back. Microsoft's newest approach to making them happen is via its 'Fluid Framework,' coming to users and developers late this year. Because we can never get enough of OLE

Inside Microsoft’s surprise decision to work with Google on its Edge browser[^]
Mozilla, the company behind Firefox, didn’t welcome Microsoft’s move. It could mean that web developers will be less likely to code to web standards that would with any browser and more likely to just code for Chromium and Safari. It’s a real risk, and so Mozilla says it will continue to “fight for a truly open web.”
Caveat Emptor.

What they should do is fight for a STANDARD web.

Sadly, that camel already sailed. What kills me is that all that work back when to move us towards an XML based scheme was just tossed for HTML5. That made absolutely no sense to me. An XML based markup would have been so much better, both tighter and more extensible.
