I really appreciate your contributions, especially in Q/A. But I think declaring the article in question as spam is massively below your level.
Only my view.

Any article which promotes a YouTube channel for with the author receives a kick-back counts as spam, regardless of how long the user has been around or how many articles they've published.
That's why I reported the article, but not the user. He can then discuss the matter with Sean.
And I notice you replied to my message telling him not to promote his article in The Lounge, rather than Pete's reply pointing out the suspicious sponsored link in the article.

Cool accolades bro. But how does this come into play in relation with the article you're trying to promote?

Nothing. It's just a crass attempt to puff myself up and make myself seem smarter than I really am (or so some of my friends think). 
It's just me introducing myself. Probably a lot like this guy[^].
Ha ha ha...

A good place for that is your message signature.

I'm glad you're willing to put it that way. Some people take their titles way too seriously, and that irritates me to no end.

Got to the bit about Notepad++ and cackled because I'd been thinking up to there, "man, Notepad++ is really good at that..."

I've been working on a tool that combines the following three operations:
1) Rename folders in a root folder's tree (according to certain rules)
2) Rename files in a root folder's tree (according to certain rules)
3) Replace text in files throughout the root folder's tree (according to certain rules).
The tool allows me to basically have a "Find and Replace of Solution Explorer". Say I added a whole bunch of class libraries called Foo.MyLibrary.Bar.IsAwsome, Foo.MyLibrary.Bar.IsAwsome.Constants, Foo.MyLibrary.Bar.IsAwsome.Extensions, Foo.MyLibrary.Bar.IsAwsome.Factories, Foo.MyLibrary.Bar.IsAwsome.Interfaces, and now I say, I want to change the names of the projects, the names of the folders in which they live, and update the .sln file and all namespaces and corresponding using statements, etc. so the code still builds, replacing MyLibrary with Aardvark everywhere, this tool will do that for me.
However, I had this one solution that had, like, 980+ projects in it, and for operation #3 you really have to somehow go through each and every file in a folder tree and do a find and replace, and instead of having to shell over to Notepad++ to do that, I wanted to integrate a file search and replace operation of similar performance into my tool so it can just take care of it as swiftly, or almost as swiftly, as Notepad++.

Yeah... Resharper/VS has an "adjust namespaces" but that just didn't quite get it when it's hundreds of files getting changed.
Notepad++ did way better there for me but you do sort of want it in VS.
If you make it good enough maybe MSFT will come relieve you of the code and leave you a check.

I know I have used at least one commercial tool which has a low cost which seemed to have no problem with doing searches and replaces. And provided many options including regexes.
If someone needs to to this hundreds of times a day on a code base then something is wrong with the code base.
If they need to do it once a year then they should buy one of the tools and use it.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are some free ones also.

Welcome back, Brian! It's been a long time. 
Great article, too!

I like ye olde sed for this.
It lets you batch as many search and replace operations as desired in a single pass.
Read every character once and only once!

I see what you did there.
But then, doing so killed the cat.
(am I doing this right?)

" that are already possible (and often more efficiently) on traditional computers."
What that really means is that it is not even close to being economical to do anything with this.
And I don't see anything it the article that really suggests that is going to be changed by this.

I could not locate the quote you referenced. May I please request guidance. Thank You Kindly

Did you push the "Continue reading" button at the bottom of the article?

The quote to which you refer is re/ current QM technology and not of the new QM technology presented in article.
As for your stated pessimism there is the paragraph title id est "Million qubit chips now possible".

I once measured hole flow in a physics lab. It was hard to accept dealing with nothing, but spin? That's like the stuff that hits the rotary oscillator.

this is the most awesome thing ever. C'mon Star Trek and Babylon 5! Science fiction needs to turn into science fact! I have to get off this dumb planet sooo bad...
