Not even touching it. I'll wait until .NET 20 is ready - won't be long now.

Admins will now get three additional years of Extended Security Updates (ESUs) for Windows Server 2012. If it ain't broke, don't upgrade it?

It takes them this long to figure out how to upload all the secure passwords and keys using their security on every update...

Wait, you put a device, that records all in your home, and somehow the device is at fault? Anyone, who is even slightly a criminal, will tell you that putting an eavesdropping device in your lair is a bad idea.
As for my sloshed speech, good luck there  I can't even make Siri tell me what weather it currently is.

Those 4 lines of "code" made me queasy when I used the mouse wheel. They were shifting right and left.

You can click on them as well. I agree that just looks weird.

At first, I thought this read; Moanaspace. Now, there's an idea!

This one for C# core 9? Does I need VS2024 to use it?
Monospace did not require improvement. 80 columns, 42 rows, that is your screen. The only improvement is a green screen.

You almost had me there, but “everyone” knows that an Amber monitor is better than the green ones.

Technically, green is better. Also less hurtful on the eyes. Amber burns the old tubes more easily.
There once was reasoning, instead of marketing. That is why one machine preferred a blue background with white text for its CLI. That's a Command Line Interface, describing exactly what it was, instead of using a copyrighted name to obscure it.
Of course, VHS won, not Betamax. Marketing

I turn sceptical when I see something pretending to be 'everything for everyone', and yet under a single name.
Sans and serif are different worlds that will never merge! And if you call it sans, then make it sans, throughout! If you present three different variants, make sure that there is a real difference when you present them to the public.
"Monospaced fonts are generally incompatible with one another. Each one uses different metrics, making it impossible to mix different fonts" - that sounds like a suicide statement.

In Venice, Italy, and surroundings, "mona" is a dialect word commonly used for "vag*na". Hence "Monaspace" sounds a nice place for bored guys. 
Aside that, warm welcome for another useful font!

"Should develop"?
Because a non-dev knows more about programming than I do.
Yah, you should develop some skills, that's what the article is about. Written by someone who mastered none.

A class action filed in a US federal court in San Jose, California, states that Intel was informed about the Downfall vulnerability in 2018, but the company didn't fix the issue in its processors and the flaw was independently rediscovered in 2023. Oh, you meant *that* flaw

can slow CPU performance by as much as 50% for certain "ordinary computing tasks,"
Let's be honest here, ordinary code is not full of gather instructions. How often have you even seen _mm256_i32gather_epi32, let alone chosen deliberately to write it yourself? And yes, some compilers (not MSVC) may generate gathers even if you didn't write them, under some circumstances, not very often (and this was a mistake to ever do).
Gather was always, and still is, slow on AMD CPUs. For much more than 99% of the buyers, that is not a consideration. Even as a programmer you probably never noticed.

An error as small as a single flipped memory bit is all it takes to expose a private key. Nothing to PANIC! PANIC! TIME TO PANIC!
"The vulnerability occurs when there are errors during the signature generation that takes place when a client and server are establishing a connection. It affects only keys using the RSA cryptographic algorithm, which the researchers found in roughly a third of the SSH signatures they examined. That translates to roughly 1 billion signatures out of the 3.2 billion signatures examined. Of the roughly 1 billion RSA signatures, about one in a million exposed the private key of the host." <- You don't want to be that one in a million kinda guy
