The lack of communication continues to mystify me. Chris Maunder made a post saying he's decided to move to new things on his personal profile where no one will see it unless we go looking. LinkedIn sleuthing showed a number of other people have left without saying anything here at all. While a bit paranoid, the only scenario I can think of that fits is outside investors staging a coup de etat. Chris wanting to move on after a few decades is completely understandable, but any normal transition I'd expect to have included both high visibility good bye and welcome to the new overlord messages.

I believe the answer to that question is: "Yes."

SO is very picky about what type of question it wants. Even though you're just looking for a general setting you'd need to give them a concrete example with a sample table and the incorrect code is generates. EF6 used some sort of templating system I've never seen anywhere else that you could probably edit to change the output of the generated code: Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate. I've never had to dig that deep into EF Core to know if how it works. Hopefully they use something less gross.

Thank you CodeProject. Time for a change. Pin Saturday, August 31, 2024 10:07am by Chris Maunder upvote downvoting not available React After 25 years at CodeProject I'm making a change. I've spent nearly a quarter of a century helping developers share knowledge, learn, and overcome the hugely rewarding challenges of software development. It's been amazing but my focus needs to shift closer to home with a focus on family, wellness and balance. While I'm certainly sad to be moving on, I'm proud of what David Cunningham, myself and the rest of the team achieved. Over the past few years my interests and personal goals have changed and evolved so it's time to embrace change, keep sharp and turn these interests into a new career. Coding always, but this time it's personal.

But if it wasn't for the newsletter shutting down, I'd've taken that to mean he was just handing over day to day control; not that he was semi-shutting the site down. Doing that without a highly visible fairwell seems really bizarre.

Unless I'm badly mis-remembering what I read on Joe's blog years ago that article seems a bit off based. I don't recall anything cloud specific in what he wrote about. It was about trying to rewrite large parts of the OS guts in .net. There were some (performance?) issues they never managed to get resolved in the project; although a number of changes they made in their custom fork of the .net runtime were eventually either ported into the framework or what became core.

I guess that'll be the end of the line for my 18 year old Core 1 Duo laptop. It shipped with Vista and I upgraded it to W7 and then W10 to serve as an emergency loaner for family members. It was ideal for this use because I didn't care if anything happened to it. I was planning to wleven it in a year and a half just because; but I guess that won't be happening now. :sigh: Actually I should see if it still turns on, it's probably been at least 2 years. :laugh:

How to set the Windows 11 taskbar vertical?[^] Short answer: You can't Customization is a bad idea if you think about it. People far smarter than me have discovered what is best and I just need to conform. :rolleyes:

In it's last doomed attempt to create a two screen fold like a book tablet contraption the MS devs created a new taskbar because the old one wouldn't work well for their application. So far nothing wrong here, except that when it was cancelled the :elephant:faced PM was unwilling to let his baby go and somehow convinced the rest of the Windows leadership team to ram his totally unfit for desktop use in it's current state contraption down everyone's throats even though there wasn't enough time to actually make it feature complete.

I think a bunch of the style quirks like #3 came from a time where the number of lines in the file made navigation arduous. I'm looking at you ed.

Not sure if it's true or just an internet legend, but I've read that the opening brace on the previous line style first gained popularity when the layout person at the publisher for what became a very influential book made the change to reduce the page count.

Companies encouraging staff to leave more positive reviews is a common way to increase the score. Glassdoor itself naturally encourages companies to have more employees add reviews in order to combat negative reviews.

A previous employer tried having HR/senior management/their sycophants blast a bunch of vacuous rainbow and unicorn reviews while the company was in the middle of a salary freeze and undergoing about a 30% reduction in headcount over a year or year and a half due to not being able to win new contracts faster than old ones ended. The net result was regular workers grew more contemptuous of senior management and the rate of bad reviews from people unhappy that they or their friends were unemployed due to management incompetence surged to counter the BS and tank overall scores again.

Good luck. What you're describing sounds like what I ran into while trying and failing to upgrade my Mom's laptop over my Christmas visit. I'd assumed her systems failure was due to lack of storage space (a pathetic 32GB eMMC onboard, I had to use 1 thumb drive to hold the W10 installer and a second to give it enough temporary storage space to try an upgrade); but if your relic is running into the same problem what I ran into was probably something else.

[Phoronix](https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-X86-S-64-bit-Only):

Among Intel's expressed benefits for a 64-bit mode-only architecture is removing ring 1 and 2, dropping 16-bit addressing support, eliminating ring 3 I/O port accesses and the string port I/O, simplified segmentation model, and removing some unused operating system bits. Under this proposal, those wanting to run legacy 32-bit operating systems would have to rely on virtualization. To further clarify, 32-bit x86 user-space software would continue to work on modern 64-bit operating systems with X86-S.

The biggest question I have at this point is how much die area and microcode space would this actually save.

Most of the time I just mentally note when I started for the day, how long I took for lunch and use that to figure out when I should stop. I normally only work on one project at a time, so everything goes to that one except for occasional exceptions (that I generally enter on the time sheet immediately to make sure I don't forget them). When working on two projects at once I try to split my time by days or before/after lunch to keep things simple. My current job's 15 minute intervals isn't quite as good as my last ones 30m ones at filtering out all the various small random items that come up into the rounds to zero category but it works most of the time.

.zip .piz (reverse the extension letters) .rar .7z password protected files ... Thanks for the flashbacks. 🤬 I so don't miss the BS games we played at my last job to sneak executables and installers for beta software builds past our going and clients incoming mail filters. Policy on both sides meant we couldn't use any 3rd party file sharing sites and cripplingly slow bureaucracy meant the external sharepoint that was how we were supposed to share files was effectively unusable due to extreme delays in getting anything posted to it and getting the intended recipients access to download it after the fact.
