Microsoft's do-it-all IDE Visual Studio 2022 came out late last year. How good is it really?

Rider?

I've tried JetBrains Rider on Linux. Seems to work mostly quite well, on .NET-core projects. Not so much on the old Windows-only old framework projects.Community version is also available, although I've got a paid license. Worth trying and testing, it might work for you or then not.I'm not affiliated with the company, although I like them a lot. Because they've got their origins in Europe, former Czechoslovakia, nowadays Czech Republic, and the headquarters are in Prague.Someone could now guess that I'm an European and don't like much American companies over-dominance.

Zucks.

Frenchified?

Once again, very entertaining read. Yours, now fully Frenchified, including surname, "Jean Samson Fulbert Alix".

Boilermaker?

Wikipedia gives several different meanings for boilermaker. But the name Alistair is clearly of scottish origin, so I'd guess that's the correct meaning in this case. Also, it would be the best fit for a situation you described.

Helsinki Syndrome: Ubuntu utterly fails to boot on metro

Finnish Anonymous Coward

Haven't seen those lately. Although a year working remotely and not even having the courage to step into that metro might have something to to with it. A few years ago those kind of sights where quite common on every metro station. but that's another case. They were actually testing something related to the west extension of our practically single metro line. Not everything went smoothly, but it was only a few weeks. Since then, the only bork I've seen was at my nearest metro station, but everything was so messed up that it was totally impossible to even guess the operating system responsible for it from that garble on the screen.

Someone who actually does something and fixes things -> Head of Monkey Herd

A bit scary...

Decision time for AI: Sometimes accuracy is not your friend

Not willing to go to the actual mathematics behind, but starting with the first case.

First, let's suppose I'm a male wanting to buy a surprise birthday present dress to my spouse. What would be the consequences of tagging me wrongly?

Second, let's suppose I'm a male transvestite wanting to buy a not-so-surprise birthday present dress to myself and keep it very secret from my spouse. What would be the consequences of tagging me wrongly?

As a side note, I'm a male, not transvestite, not buying birthday presents to anyone (except occasionally to my mother), and single because of being too cynic/sarcastic/feeling fine alone/impossible to get along with/misanthrope/etc. possible causes.

Just a note

That thing in the picture looks quite a lot like the symbol for an old-fashioned transistor. Ok, base has been shifted from left to right, and there's no circle around the formation.

I'm somewhat disappointed not yet having seen a recipe for tartiflette in this series. Could the Special/Secret Operations Bureau think of considering of might adding it to their plate?

Re: Ota tuo, vihreä robotti Google!

Fascinating to find something written in finnish here. But, I have to slightly correct both the headline and the translation. It should be, in my opinion, "Ota turpaas, sä vihree Google-robotti" (that was approximately how it should be said in my local dialect) / "Take that, [you] green Google robot!". [you] is strongly implied in my native language, and quite often also written or said too. Although, it is also very often replaced with a four-letter or seven-letter word beginning with f.
