Forget the Cybertruck — Tesla’s hottest new product is a bottle of tequila, shaped like a lightning bolt. Just the thing to go with your self-driving car and "not a" flamethrower
Of course he is selling this now... :S

Has anyone tried to figure out how expensive this booze would be in a conventional bottle and branding?

I'm assuming it's just coming out of some white-label tequila maker's pipe. So, something like:
Trader Joe's Tequila Blanco
Distilled & bottled by Gonzalez Gonzales, Jalisco
Typical price: $15US
or
Kirkland Signature Añejo Tequila
Distilled & bottled by Ed Hardy Tequila
Price: $19.99US

Wouldn't surprise me much if that was the case; OTOH if they were reselling rotgut grade tequila I'd expect Tesla fans who're also Tequila snobs to pitch a fit and assume it's at least somewhat upscale from that. On the gripping hand when I want liquer, I'm a whisky drinker by choice, and don't know how strongly the quality of tequila scales with price. The shot of $80 Patron I had from a friend who was celebrating was a lot smoother than I remembered the Cuervo/etc I'd had before being; but that was the only time I've had the high end type, and the cheap stuff was years prior.

Once the stuff of speculation, the growth of quantum software development may share some similarities with the rise of MLOps and AIOps. You'll either be able to find the bug or tell how bad it is, but not both?
That "could" is doing a lot of work in that headline

Someone attached a copy of the GitHub Enterprise Server source code to GitHub's DMCA section, but the GitHub CEO said they mistakenly leaked that code months ago. It's not a hack, it's a flaw in our system doesn't seem like a great defense

Pretty gruesome actually.
It sounds like life could last rather longer in such a scenario than I had assumed.

Why do people coming up with examples of how to use a language feature always seem to use awful examples for either the before or after versions?
What I currently do for multiple value checking is generally:
var yes = new List<char> { 'y', 'Y' };
if (yes.Contains(userInput.KeyChar)
Although in this particular case I'd probably do:
if (userInput.KeyChar.ToLower() =='y')
The is notation looks nice for shorter sets of values because it removes the need for a temp array/collection; but I'd still probably use it for testing more than 2 or 3 values because it remains less repetitious and easier to read.

Except you're supposed to normalize to uppercase. 
CA1308: Normalize strings to uppercase (code analysis) - .NET | Microsoft Docs[^]
I tend to use extension methods - something similar to this:
public static bool IsOneOf<T>(this T value, params T[] options) => options.Contains(value);
public static bool IsNotOneOf<T>(this T value, params T[] options) => !options.Contains(value);
if (userInput.KeyChar.IsOneOf('Y', 'y'))

How about:
if ("Yy".Contains(userInput.KeyChar)
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

My understanding was that C# was to be clean, to be understandable without complexity, and above all to be safe.
They seemed to have long ago strayed from this path.
Instead of watering down is to mean "equals" instead of "is of a given type", I would have preferred them to be clear
if (value equals 'Y' or 'y') ...
Except this then means you have equals and == kinda doing the same thing. Way better (and I do not understand why they haven't done this, given the esoteric stuff they've crammed in) would be:
if (value in ['y','Y'])...
The Article Quoth: public bool
ListenToCardIso14443TypeB(TransmitterRadioFrequencyConfiguration transmitter, ReceiverRadioFrequencyConfiguration receiver, out Data106kbpsTypeB? card, int timeoutPollingMilliseconds)
public bool ListenToCardIso14443TypeB(TransmitterRadioFrequencyConfiguration transmitter, ReceiverRadioFrequencyConfiguration receiver, [NotNullWhen(true)] out Data106kbpsTypeB? card, int timeoutPollingMilliseconds)
This is everything wrong with technical writing. Is it so hard to simply post
public bool Method(param1 Type1, out Type2? card, int value)
public bool Method(param1 Type1, [NotNullWhen(true)] out Type2? card, int value)
cheers
