Yes, they will run, as will most VB6 apps from 1998. But if you have developed a .NET Framework app that you want to see living into the future a decade or more from today, you need to know that maintaining it is going to be increasingly pa

Since MS decided to deprecate .NET Framework, making .NET 5+ the recommended basis for C# desktop development going forward. Yes you will still be able to run your old apps for many decades still, but you can never move to a newer version o

Coincidentally, Win32 is also the only stable API on Windows. WinForms and WPF are still half-broken on .NET 5+, WinRT is out, basically any other desktop development framework since the Win32 era that is older than a couple of years is dep

No problem, I should have been more specific when I wrote my initial comment but I was too lazy to pull up the exact reference until you challenged me (I somewhat randomly saw this paper a few days ago, initially).

The threat most developers should be concerned about is what happens once a major solar flare (like the Carrington event in 1859) shows up. That is destined to happen at some point, and not unlikely within the next few decades. Hard to pred

I taught myself coding Win32 API in C as a young teenager, nothing magic about it. And Notepad is a very basic app.

I was an early adopter of Teams and generally feel like MS gets too much criticism for e.g. Windows. I really wanted to like Teams. But having used it daily for two years, the only thing I'm impressed with is how badly they managed to

Let's start with making hardcore SM-style porn inaccessible to kids and teens.

by codebolt 4y ago
A lot can change over a decades time. I hope and believe that porn will eventually be a lot more restricted than it is today, as the societal downsides become more and more apparent.

by codebolt 4y ago
And they should be doing much more. Age verification should require a credit card. The idea that hardcore porn should be freely accessible to anyone (including children) on an anonymous basis needs to be put to rest.

It's a stretch to say that nobody pays for C#. A commercial Visual Studio license sure isn't free, and depending on what you're making you're at a big disadvantage without one.

FTX is in deep with Tether. I expect they'll pull some tricks out of their collective hats to avoid a complete collapse.

As a northern European, I can confirm. The nearest train station is a 10 minute bike ride from my house. From there the rest of my commute is a breeze. If I was to drive I'd be stuck in traffic much longer. And it's nice to get so

Yes, those practices absolutely shouldn't apply for self driving cars. Good luck regression testing how a system change impacts the AI handling of every edge case of traffic.
