With the latest Windows 11 update on Sept. 26 we released a host of developer features as the core component of the Windows OS with an intent to make every developer more productive on Windows. You're getting a CoPilot, and YOU'RE getting a CoPilot, and...

Google's default search deal with Apple is worth so much to the search giant that Google pays 36 percent of its search advertising revenue from Safari to keep its search engine set as the default in Apple's browser That's a better deal than me getting to keep 36% of the change I find in the cushions at work

Does that mean that IE (or whatever it is called nowadays) gets Google as a search engine?
I mean, I use bing solely to get to google.com? Who hasn't binged Google?

And 100% have implemented both AS and NS (Artificial Stupidity and Natural Stupidity).

Management will be going crazy over it; our company *NEEDS* it, TODAY!

And as management goes, they have no "klucking" clue what it means but they also want to share in the chat in the meetings on something related to AI, stating things like - "I told my team, that is how we will be gaining information from now on..., just do it!"

Did you give a kluck at that point?

Unlock New Heights in Developer Productivity: Optimized C++ Support, Enhanced Enterprise Capabilities, and Full .NET 8 Integration I ran out of Visual Studio jokes 0.6 versions ago
(OK, probably about 8.6 versions for decent jokes)

Does it support C# 2.0?
We releasing new versions, with random features, to have a new version that management can tout? Where is the man, shouting "developers, developers, developers"? Can you say more bluntly to devs that you don't care?

I would think it should, they're usually pretty good for backward compatibility. I'm sure that none of the templates would use it though.

Let me launch my VS2019 again, and see what I can develop in it.
Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Nichts. Niets.
Yup. Backward is right, just the compatible part ain't present

A new AI model from Google DeepMind is the world’s most accurate 10-day global weather forecasting system, according to the London-based lab. "Winds light to variable"
I'm sure someone can insert a weather forecaster joke here (so I shan't bother). Where I am, it's pretty accurate as they can see it coming for days.

I can be 100% accurate for London also; it will rain today. And tomorrow. And next month.
Because. London

Step by step, the Rust programming language is moving deeper into the Linux kernel. As opposed to rust in Linux (see elsewhere in newsletter)
|
|
|
|
|
That is the purpose of rust, it moves in deeper and deeper until there is,,, well only rust left. 
|
|
|
|

I’ve been diving into the Linux kernel scheduler recently. Eight cores ought to be enough for everyone?
|
|
|
|
|
I am planning on an upgrade, 8 cores should suffice for my notepad script right?
|
|
|
|
|
Since most software is targeting a single core, yes, 8 would be overkill?

Love the comment about Windows:
Quote: For the anecdote, historically on windows the period was around 16 milliseconds, it had a funny side effect where an application doing a sleep(1ms) would resume around 16 milliseconds later.
The Sleep(timeout) call in Windows only guarantees that the thread will sleep for that long. It doesn't guarantee that the thread will be awaken in timeout milliseconds.
