Microsoft answered Congress' questions on security. Now the White House needs to act

Re: Thoughts.

Wait, for open source, responsibility lies with the implementer, for closed source, the programmer?

That makes no sense. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Crypto craziness craps out – and about time too

Re: It still needs to be banned

No.

I see posts like this and it makes me want to eat 3 quarter pounders in the old Styrofoam containers while driving around in an F-150, and then once I'm done, I'll toss the containers out the window.

Microsoft's grand unified theory of .NET advances a little

Believe MS has fixed the DPI issues in the later releases; might have to use core.

Although I agree with you, WPF is much better - was ahead of its time, IMO.

Neither get a ton of press, but they're both in new .net releases and get updates.

Meanwhile, winforms and WPF keep trudging along.

If they just simply made those cross platform (as much as possible), it would be received much better.

Serious surfer? How to browse like a pro on Firefox

Re: And this is so relevant to browser development.

Also, judging by the link, he's throwing shade without providing proof about the rewriting of links. Given that Firefox competes with Brave and their history, take it with a grain of salt.

My problem with Brave (Android) is that a recent update hosed .png files - they appear blocky half the time.

Re: RE: nutbars with guns

> And what I saw was cesspools next door to walled gardens with armed guards, block after intermingled block, and enough police with body armor to make anyone shudder.

Go ask anyone who actually lives in those cities if they wished the police weren't there.

I just got back from downtown Baltimore - there were police at several locations and it was obvious that it was by request of the businesses.

Also, huge difference between cities and other towns in cost of living and type of life.

Re: We made a mistake in executing on our decision [because we thought we could get away with it]

All of this.

Other than cross platform capabilities, I haven't seen anything in which Core is better than Framework.

And the real reason they pushed that is to boost Azure usage.
