The goal of the win32metadata project is to provide a complete description of the Win32 API surface in metadata so that it can be projected to any language in an automated way, improving correctness and minimizing maintenance overhead. Areway eythay inallyfay addingway Igpay Atinlay upportsay?

I wonder if there's any cross pollination between this project and what Unity is doing with C# as a scripting language for games? A lot of what's needed to make something run on a low end microcontroller would seem to overlap with what Unity needs to do to keep frame rates smooth even if your embedded project doesn't have real time constraints. A lot of what Unity's doing is coding convention related; avoiding allocating/destroying temporary variables both directly and indirectly (ie all the stuff Linq does behind the scenes) to avoid triggering GCs that would blow the 16ms window between frames at 60FPS.

RHEL is now free for dev teams, and it's even free in production for up to 16 systems. A freely-downloadable Linux? Wow.

So they're still extending the ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) you! Pay Me! finger to larger businesses, and setting a trap for smaller ones that will (unless they go out of business) almost certainly end with an you! Pay Me! situation. That's so much better than before.

To be fair, there is an escape route for businesses that outgrow the arbitrary 16 server free thing (and for entities for whom it could never be adequate such as HPC users). Even with the loss of CentOS, no one is really stuck with Red Hat even if one wants/needs to remain compatible with it.
I do know that if Red Hat shares were publicly available (are they?), I would not now be buying.
In theory, it's the cloud offering that is where their real value lies (which is why IBM bought them) and yet stuff like the CentOS debacle causes me to discount what significant value they might otherwise have.
On the other hand, they could pull off a blinder of a strategic move and make RHEL entirely free at all scales (thus winning back HPC users and potentially everyone) and then charge optionally for support. It is, afterall, per-server support that they notionally sell anyway. In other words, they could copy Oracle's business model with OL, which bizarrely Oracle have not marketed as heavily as I would have done in Oracle's position.

Yes, some will pull the eject handles and move to something else; or will gamble on not getting caught as they stand up servers 17+. Others will have management who have more important priorities than server OS migration and will end up giving in to the You! Pay me! demands. Dead Rat is clearly betting on enough folding that way to make up for those who'll be bailing in advance instead of puttering along with dozens/hundreds of free servers before getting big enough to think a support contract was a good idea.

From Fortran to arXiv.org, these advances in programming and platforms sent biology, climate science and physics into warp speed. List is missing '42'
Yeah, kind of an awkward (to my eyes) use of "codes", but that's their Nature

Just the opposite, they want you to upgrade, so they can be the only ones again (at least for a while)

Microsoft has invested in Cruise, the General Motors driverless car unit, in a $2 billion funding round that gives the autonomous driving company a $30 billion valuation. So that's what Clippy is doing these days
It was either that or, "It looks like you want to drive to the market. Do you want help with that?" Consider yourself lucky.
Or unlucky if you're seeing this.
I suppose I could have also added that buys a lot of icons.
