Firmware, baby. Either you build it in Assembler or in C. C++ in firmware is used only on processors so powerful it's no longer what I'd call firmware to begin with.
48kB of Flash and 3 kB of RAM really mix badly with the larger C++ compiled binaries, especially when trying to cram every little bit of functionality that was originally on 128 kB of Flash and 6 kB of RAM.

I think the author is confused, or maybe it's me. The opposite of top-down programming is, IMHO, event-driven programming, not OOP. The majority of my work these days is automating manual processes, and I typically use console apps for this purpose. Those are inherently top-down, and I use objects all the time inside those apps. That includes not only custom classes that model our business components but objects built into the CLR or Nuget packages.

I suppose a manager saw "Free guy" and wanted to have something similar (without the rogue NPC of course)?

Just wait until there are AI agents for the C-level management people.
You will work at the office! You will not count commute time! You will put in extra hours when we say so! You will be terminated while you're at home! You will discover you are terminated because your VPN from home stopped working and so you can't even get your termination email!
Oh wait.

Not all open source is created equal. There are a number of open source imposters out there, and companies should know how to identify them to avoid getting locked in to restrictive licenses that are masquerading as “open.” They just have more eyes painted on

Microsoft is not shy about introducing controversial changes to its software, even if feedback forces it to reverse course further down the line. It will now screen your printing?
You really didn't need to print that single sided, did you?
This "feature" should last at least until the next build.

Key comment:
Quote: While this is unlikely to be too controversial a change, it is still one that will annoy a number of users. It is also something of a strange decision; not only does it change the role of a key that has served a very specific function for -- literally -- decades, it also pushes one of Microsoft's own tools at people.
I have the snipping tool in the quick launch and although I use it pretty often, I still use the PrtScr even more.

I'm just used to using Win + Shft + S now to take screenshots, I don't think I've used the print screen button in years

Didn't know about that one

We’re excited to preview three new features for C# 12: Primary constructors for non-record classes and structs, Using aliases for any type, Default values for lambda expression parameters Looking forward to the confusion that aliasing will cause.

GIT of the Preview: You can allow aliases to propagate outside a compilation unit by making them global

C# 12? What happened to 9-11? I think I'm using C# 8 with .NET 7, but since the build UI now tells me I can't select the language version, I might as well be using C# from an alternate universe. And isn't the language version somehow tied to the version of Visual Studio, and the update du jour? I guess wikipedia might help explain the mixing and matching of framework, compiler, and IDE that governs the language version.

.NET 8 Preview 3 is now available. It includes changes to build paths, workloads, Microsoft.Extensions, and containers. It also includes performance improvements in the JIT, for Arm64, and dynamic PGO. Y'all know the drill

You heard of partial classes, right?
The big undocumented new feature is partial words. Come back later and complete them.

I wonder if this is why I had to switch my main PC from defender to F-Secure because defender was pegging a core and I couldn't figure out how to stop it. Email says I bought the alternate AV in September '18 so the timing is about right.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
