The highlight of .NET Core 3 is support for Windows desktop applications, specifically Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Framework (WPF), and UWP XAML. So, "works cross-platform", except for this feature?

Quote: For cases where the maximum isolation is required, you can deploy .NET Core with your application. We’re working on new build tools that will bundle your app and .NET Core together as in a single executable, as a new option.
So instead of being a core OS component that recieves security fixes automatically, you can bake a binary version into your application that will accumulate effective foreverday bugs because a large fraction of the userbase won't keep rebuilding with newer versions of it. I know I've heard that model recently, what could possibly go wrong.

The software giant has just announced that starting later this year, all consumer apps (except games) sold in the Microsoft Store will ship a whopping 95 percent of the revenue earned from app and in-app purchases to the developer. Works for me

Of course, 95% of 0 is still 0.

Sometimes a phone being held is just a phone being held.
This past Saturday, I was at a place with terrible reception. As I left, I kept my phone out and glanced at it periodically until the reception improved.
(I was going to write something sarcastic about the researchers wasting money, but looked them up instead. Both are ridiculously smart and have lists of impressive mathematical and physics papers. I concluded this was a trivial thing they did to relax.)

Because I don't have a holder and it's more comfortable in my hand than in my pocket.
I don't have a holder, because 1) it hurts when I bend over, 2) it looks ridiculous, 3) it finds ways of getting rammed into things, and 4) it breaks off.
So holding the phone or placing it on the table at the restaurant or on one's desk is what's left.
See? Not hard to figure out.

Due to a bug, passwords were written to an internal log before completing the hashing process. We found this error ourselves, removed the passwords, and are implementing plans to prevent this bug from happening again. You are encouraged to change your password again. If you have reused the password on other sites, change those too

Besides, shouldn't passwords be encrypted even before they are sent to the server? (whether using https or not)

V. wrote: Besides, shouldn't passwords be encrypted even before they are sent to the server? I'd go for "both". If only the client hashes, then that hashed piece becomes similar to a password; if I can steal it, I can use it as a password directly on the server, without needing the actual unhashed password.
The server should hash its data too, to prevent any (temp) workers from getting those tokens.

You think the client should encrypt the password before sending? The only way the client (a web browser, we're talking about twitter) could encrypt the data before sending is to use javascript and anything in js on the client can be reverse engineers (View->Source) and that includes your encryption algorithm and any passwords\secrets\keys you use to achieve the encryption. If a malicious person knows that information then your encryption is literally useless. That's what https is for, so you don't have to waste your time doing pointless things like client-side encryption on a website.
