The software developer is expected to push companies to switch to Office 365 by tightening access to that software's online services. Paying for something once and using it forever is so last century, isn't it?

No, but if I wanted to - I could.
The subscription model is a worrisome trend. Some companies that maintain legacy code rely on the licences for software being "perpetual licences". What happens to legacy code when your toolchain is available only under a subscription model, and stops working X years after a newer version is released?
For that matter, a couple of years ago I used my version of Word for Windows 6.0 (Hebrew Edition) to convert some legacy files for my father from a now-defunct format to Word format. What would have happened if Word 6.0 didn't work because it had been superseded by a "newer and better" version which didn't include these converters?

Just like you can use an old sock to save money. My point is that those solutions are so horribly dated and insecure that it may not be a very good idea to begin with.

I also gave a couple of use cases where I would want to use legacy tools. Sometimes you simply have no choice.

I've been running my Exchange servers since the early 1990's (even before it was called Exchange).
I will continue to do so PRECISELY to keep my data off of their cloud servers.
I've met people who trust the "cloud" with their private data. I've also met people who eat their own snot.
Software as a service === NOPE.

Do aerodynamics matter in space?

As an answer to your question, kinda.
While there is nowhere near an atmosphere and drag to worry about, one would want a small cross-section relative to direction of travel to reduce the impact of space/dust and debris. Trailing edges really wouldn't matter though for that.
Would probably want to utilize a rounded/spherical surface anyways, once we start working with electro-magnetic shielding

I turned off ad-blocker for that page and it still thought in was on - so I edited the CSS to make the message invisible.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

RyuJIT is the code name for the .NET just-in-time compiler, one of the foundational components of the .NET runtime. In contrast, the Roslyn C# compiler compiles C# code to IL byte code. The RyuJIT compiler compiles IL byte code to machine code for multiple processors. Just in time

https://www.googlewatchblog.de/2018/06/umfangreiche-kooperation-unity-google/[^]
It's a german blog sorry, but basically this article says:
Google and Unity entered a cooperation for multiplayer gaming. Unity itself will relocate everything to the google cloud and the google cloud will be the default provider for connecting gamers, with its scaling infrastructure.
Game servers, everything will be available via the google systems without the need "of every developer to become a cloud expert".
I think this might helps lots of smaller indie studios to scale their games better.
Blizzard, EA, Steam, they all have their infrastructure - but the smaller studio might benefit a lot from this.

agreed.
VS has integration with Unity currently for VS2017, and I use this. However, according to this article, the alliance with Unity and Google, may be interesting with Microsoft also in the picture.

I always had a belief that Unity Technologies is much closer to Microsoft than Google. May be it's just because they have C# as one of their scripting language and yes! They also integrate well with Visual Studio. Or I'm not sure if there's some other background reasons for my belief.
Now seeing them tie up with Google Cloud & not Azure, feels like a break up with MS.

I think it is because there are hundred thousands Android Apps done with Unity (or, to be more precise: "platform-independant-apps" that also run on android) and with a market share of 80+% of android when it comes to mobiles, it is way more likely that you will have a device at hand, that is more closely tightened to the google cloud than to the ms cloud.
I have rarely seen azure apps outside of the business world but I saw tons of apps running on the google cloud, private and business as well.
Also I do not see a break up here, as google currently shows in it's code check-ins to ChromeOS that, right after the linux apps, chromeOS MIGHT BE able to run windows apps in a VM in the future.
I think, there's currently some really hot stuff going on behind the scenes and I can't wait to see that all come to life!

If the EU wishes to commit suicide, I won't stand in its way.
If these ideas are actually placed into law, one or more of the following will happen:
- Lawyer's bonanza, as everyone gets sued for breach of copyright
- Rather than check for copyrighted material, file sharing sites restrict their offerings in Europe
- Rather than license every link, sites like Google refuse to work in Europe. The Internet is suddenly much less useful.
- ...
