We’re particularly excited to launch a preview of profile-guided optimization (PGO), which enables the compiler to perform application- and workload-specific optimizations based on run-time profile information. Go-go-gadget point-update!

I just don't understand.
Why were they exploding the things? I really wouldn't want that to happen if I were in it in space. Shouldn't they be making sure it WOULDN'T explode?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

This was a NASA required stress test. NASA requires all man-rated space systems to withstand pressures far higher (something like 8 to 10 times higher) than the anticipated maximum stress.

With Android you can already avoid Google... if you can manage it and / or you trust the alternative stores.

Only Apple has this issue, since with Android you can either install APKs directly or give permissions to apps to install APKs, like F-Droid.
Also, if we're talking about malware, both Google and Apple themselves already spy on everything we do.

Cloud backup outfit finds that older HDDs fail more – who knew? Don't let your hard drives get old!
"This increase as a drive model ages follows the bathtub curve, whereby a typical drive can be expected to exhibit a rash of early failures, followed by a period when there are relatively few, followed by an uptick once more as all the drives approach the end of their lives and wear out." <-- curious. A "break-in period"?

I still have an USB1.0 (is there a 0.x?) 64 GB HDD from early 2000s. And it works... slow as hell, but it works.

The tool takes over the Visual Studio "File > New Project" setup process upon hitting the Create button, after which MAUI App Accelerator steps in with a wizard that lets developers point and click for options concerning .NET version (7 or 6), coding style (MVVM Toolkit, Code Behind, C# Markup), navigation style (Flyout, Tabs, Empty Shell, None), Pages/Views (multiple options) and other features such as MAUI Community Toolkit, AppCenter and several others. For those that miss the days of yore, when wizards roamed the land

In the last few years I have become very worried about the fate of C# "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded"
This one won't be appearing in the mailing, as it's on Medium and a lot of people have trouble accessing that site (or disagree with its limitations on reading). However, I didn't want it to not have a chance to be discussed. If you're not able to access it on Medium, try the ripped version[^].
So, why didn't I just post it to the daily newsletter using the ripped version? I dunno. It just didn't feel right.

"C# is dying" as fast as COBOL is dying, IMHO. In other words, it will still be around at least 50 years from now - assuming we still are.

(Not clicking that.)
Just yesterday I was conversing with a VB.net practitioner (he seemed normal otherwise :shrug: ).
And I again recalled that the demise of C# in favor of VB.net has been mentioned at least as long ago as 2003.
I do still long for the language which is to follow C#, and the framework it uses.
Not holding my breath.
D continues to be the language I would learn if I had a reason to.

Which I can understand. I use C# 3.
Many bad decisions have been made. We need a new language which learns from the mistakes.

So his real complaints are that he feels compelled to use the latest and greatest syntactic sugar and isn't getting paid as much to write the same sloppy code as before.
