In emails sent over the weekend, Google warned customers again that it would start deleting inactive accounts on December 1st, 2023. Why, are they running out of disc space?

Exactly, they send you a mail to warn that it will be deleted because it is inactive, mmm I will never see that warning because....

From a cyber security standpoint this is an excellent idea. Even the concept of sending the inactivation alert to the account is good because if you don't see the alert then obviously you're not using the account. What Google has to be careful of though is to not delete the millions of Android only accounts that exist only because you have to have a Google account to use an Android phone.

The Rust Foundation outlined many improvements to the security structure of the language and expressed its commitment to developing tools, features, and recommendations based on security research in its Security Initiative Report. It's like they never sleep
Someone, please write another song about rust!

When you write a .NET library, you may want to target multiple target framework monikers (TFM). Because some of our .NETs are not like the others

no irony intended here: if this article ... perhaps as good as it gets, for now ...is a jargon free ... explanation ... then, my sense of humble ignorance has just been reinforced ... and, that is a gift !
trying to grok this ... i see shadows flickering on the walls of a cave ... maybe the one that walking-around philosopher, Plato, dug into the infinite regress of metaphor in the mountain of idealism.
and, i hear that timeless refrain: "do you, Mr, Jones ?" [^].
the preceding remarks may well exhibit bill's current stupor

Oh yeah... not enough with companies slurping our data... now we are supposed to allow them control over our genetic?
