The vast majority of the interaction with the new windbg is using the same commands in the same tiling inner windows as before. The ribbon is usually hidden if you know the key commands to move around. It's only to help new and infrequ

The editor is a webapp that can run in any browser. It's what powers the new github codespace feature as well as most code editors in the azure portal.

Azure functions has that option, but at some point... Why not just use a "real" web server if you want it always online? The whole point of serverless was that you don't need a server always running in the background.

Azure has a product built specifically for this, so it must be at least vaguely common. The rationale given in docs is: "A common application pattern is to provision a single database for each customer. But different customers often ha

For what it's worth, C# is very usable on both Linux and macos. Anything outside of UI is pretty much fully cross platform at this point (there are even some cross platform ui attempts, but they're not anywhere near as mature as w

Azure Pipelines doesn't host arm yet, but you can run a self hosted pool on a Gravitron2 VM pretty easily.

Bits and bobs run on top of pure azure, and some infra is definitely shared, but anything cloudy that came up around the same time as or before azure (like Bing and o365) used and for the most part still uses their own data centers and depl

You can build arch-specific, single file binaries, but I believe the bulk of the executable is a zip file with the .net core runtime and all of your platform agnostic assemblies, so it's not exactly native like you're thinking of

This is not always the case though - in order to run some applescripts, you need accessibility permissions... But you grant that to terminal.app, not applescript or not even bash that invokes applescript

Microsoft definitely didn't forget that sysprep exists, there's a decent sized group in azure that cares just about windows image creation and associated technologies. I think most of sysprep is simply considered "done".

Do you consider test mocks to be a second implementation that warrants the interface?

This sounds vaguely similar to Managed Service Identities in azure as well. Apps can ask a well-known IP that maps to a local service on the VM host for an oauth token to any azure service, and then it gets back a token with an identity ti

Another major user of reference counting is COM and WinRT. A major feature of WinRT projections over just using the raw C APIs is that you get reference counting implemented for you using whatever your higher level language uses for object

Well to start, there's browser history sync through your Google account. I'm not aware what the privacy policy is on that data, but I'd imagine it allows Google to get aggregate views at least at the domain level, if not the

That's fair, but before computers, not much was available for free. Getting a newspaper would generally cost money, as would using the payphone to communicate, as would so many other things that are now freely available. So, while its
