'user-friendly computer programming language'...
Aren't programming languages for the developer? Why should they be 'user-friendly'?

Developers never see themselves as users.
And they're right, in a way -- they complain a shipload more than users do!

One day there'll be a big "SKYNET WOS 'ERE" sign, but there'll be no-one around to write articles about it.

You really shouldn’t need a reason not to use your work device while on holiday, but just in case you do – McAfee says you’d be putting your company at risk by doing so. That's why I never use them when I'm not on holiday either

Sure I use them on holiday, as coasters for my lovely, cold beverage.

Oh, what utter bollocks.
The security risk has got sod all to do with holidays; it's public wi-fi that's the problem, and all too many people connect to any old hotspot -- do you really think that mcdonalds and your local cafe have your company's best interests at heart?
Or your best interests for that matter?
It won't be a problem after Huawei has finished converting the world to 5G, anyway, because wi-fi will be everywhere, a bloody damned sight faster than it is now, and (if they don't give in to US and UK pressure to allow backdoors into everything) a damned sight more secure and private.

The only question is whether the back doors will be American or Chinese.

The Chinese DGAF about that kind of cr@p. Seriously. If they want information, they don't waste billions of gig of server space and millions of hours trawling through it. It's not their way. They go precisely to where the information is, and primarily talk to people.
The google/US & UK government methodology of scraping every ounce of data about everyone and everything "just in case", is completely alien to them.
I've gotta admit that it doesn't make a sh1tload of sense to me, either, from the point of view of performing efficient activity.
The UK and US demanded a backdoor, but there isn't one, and Huawei doesn't want to build one in, because -- well it's f***ing obvious why a hardware manufacturer wouldn't want to build backdoors into their hardware -- whereas US hardware companies are quite willing to take a knee and do so; that's what all the bollocks is all about.

XAML Islands enable .NET and native Win32 applications to host UWP XAML controls. Because there are so many useful UWP XAML controls

Quote: Windows 10 version 1903 and above: Regardless you have a native Win32 app or a .NET app, this first version of XAML Islands only works on apps running in the Windows 10 version 1903 and above.

I thought MS killed off UWP.

No... they just had hidden it for a while so people won't remember it when they bring it back with a new icon

The risk in over-homonymization is that words begin to mean anything and everything until they mean nothing. That's how I hear it

Well, if it's Argyle SOCKS, the problem is you always lose one from each pair, and end up with a drawerful of non-matching socks.

The world is becoming increasingly anxious about the spread of fake videos and pictures, and Adobe — a name synonymous with edited imagery — says it shares those concerns. Does it just look to see if it was saved in PhotoShop?

For only $650/year, you can agree with all their concerns!

... Except when it gets it wrong.
It's not part of the solution; it's an extension of the problem.

According to the University of Arizona researchers who operate the HiRISE camera for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, shapes like this "are the result of a complex story of dunes, lava, and wind." So much for the Prime Directive
Not like they ever actually followed it consistently.

I assume CBS will be getting their lawyers to post a cease and desist notice on Mars very soon.

In the beginning of 2019, we polled almost 7,000 developers to identify the State of Developer Ecosystem. Alternately, look around you.
Loved that show.
