PayPal has decided to withdraw from the Libra Association, the 28-member nonprofit organization formed in June 2019 to oversee the cryptocurrency’s creation and eventual consumer rollout. I guess they're Capricorns after all?

C# is (mostly) a strongly typed programming language. It's type system supports generics, inference, and method overloading. Combining these features, any C# compiler can easily be knocked out. You break it, you buy it

Bah. I remember learning to touch type on a manual typewriter. About 60 wpm with very few errors. Now that it's so easy to correct things, lots of errors! But I'd like to see a bozo who doesn't even need opposable thumbs come close on a smartphone.
