I see you are writing code. Would you like to upgrade your kernel to NT?

On the day we on Earth call Feb. 7, Mars will cross a point in its orbit known as solar longitude zero degrees. If you want to raise a glass to that pale red dot, go for it Happy belated 4718! (drink an Irn-Bru to celebrate the rusty planet)

With an orbit of 687 days... shouldn't be there a bit lower than here?
Now for real curiosity... is there a year 0 for other planets' chronology? If yes... starting on discover or are they adapted to our "0"

This from the company that was saying benchmarks don't mean anything and shouldn't be used anymore a year ago.

Channels give us a way to communicate between concurrent (async) operations in .NET. "There's fifty-seven channels and nothin' on"

Looks like it might do the interaction between the threads easier, but I wonder how will it impact performance.
Other readers with much more knowledge than me: that might be a cool benchmarks article

Did you post that simply so we could make pithy puns on holding seances to channel our inner .NET?

We’re excited to share that Microsoft is joining industry partners as founding members of the Rust Foundation, a new independent organization established to steward the Rust programming language and ecosystem and support Rust’s maintainers. I don't think it's a good sign if your foundation is rusting, is it?

And that MS joins Rust a bit later that Rust says goodbya to Mozilla... is it just coincidence?

I meant to ask this earlier: Has Mozilla stopped using Rust?

I don't know if stopped / will stop using it, but RUST is now independent of Mozilla and have created its own foundation / ONG or whatever thing is needed legally to stand alone.

Different laptops are designed to cater to the needs of different folks. Some laptops are tiny. Some are ruggedized. Some are chonky, so-called ‘desktop replacements.’ And some laptops, Dear Reader — some laptops look the benighted fusion of a late-90s Thinkpad and a Swiss Army knife. That should flatten any lap it's on top of

Some commercial Nespresso machines in Europe that incorporate a smart card payment system can be manipulated to add unlimited funds to purchase coffee, thanks to reliance on technology that's been known to be insecure for more than a decade. To be more accurate, it's 'free nespresso', not 'free coffee'. Sometimes hackers don't get the best results.
