But what if you wanted to support data in memory that wasn’t in an array, but instead came from native code, for example, or lived on the stack and you only had a pointer and a length?
I'd use C++/CLI. Bridging the gap between native and managed code is what it was designed to do. The details in the article about Span<T> internally using a special JIT intrinsic is interesting though. I'm more interested in those details than the classes themselves. Not to say they don't have their uses of course.

It's been a good year for bitcoin investors but a terrible one for those who hoped that the cryptocurrency would become the de facto tender for the internet. How much bitcoins for leg of lamb?

BC's tend to rise in value, and thus, people won't spend them - they're being hoarded.
That's what one would have expected from gold in the recent years; after all, if all money is debased, precious metals rise. That slight difference may be due to the fact that there's no government involved in setting the price for BC

Shout about bitcoin as you like. I see that I took nearly 6% over (last) night. Ok maybe a lucky shot, but I will stay tuned in the Casino 
[Edit]
And last but not least, everything tax-free

The fact that it is not "easily" technically traceble (after all, it is a public ledger) does not mean it is hidden; the fact that it is hard to see how much wealth you have does not mean you don't have to pay those taxes.
..and BC rising does not mean that it will keep rising. Math says it won't, and math is always right. Proceed with caution.

I did that, not least because of your advice. And it saved me from a disaster. Many thanks

Today +- 10%+ in between minutes. Also for me too volatile!

It's not the volatility that scares me, but the reason why people are buying it - expecting it to climb and climb, while fair value is still anyone's guess. The last months felt like a rally based on greed and hope. If BC's are too expensive to be used, they won't 
Happy new year, it may become another interesting one.

While machine learning and artificial intelligence are becoming key to cyber security, a new survey shows that a majority of security professionals worry that the technology could be used against them. But if you outlaw outlaws using AI, only outlaw outlaws will use AI

It’s official. The next Java version will be called JDK 10. Wait - version 10 after version 9? You rebels!

Must have been an all-nighter cram session with collaboration of several marketing firms putting their collective heads together to come up with a name like that. I guess they could have been like Microsoft and jumped 91.9 versions going from 3.1 to 95.

No, the rebels were the ones who released the version after Java 8 as Java 9 instead of Java 10.
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?

There are many ways to measure a programming language’s popularity, but we believe examining job demand is most useful because it shows developers the skills to learn to improve their career prospects. "My mom says I'm a catch, I'm popular "

I have wondered on the first line in the Java paragraph. Do they have a time machine?
