The language, Static TypeScript (STS) is used in all seven MakeCode editors, and its ability to meet the demands of programs requiring higher levels of performance is on full display in the latest addition to the platform, MakeCode Arcade. To some level of "rocket-fast" that I am unfamiliar with

Ah, yes.
That wonderful "help kids learn to code" tool from ms.
... Which operates entirely on the ms cloud, with all data stored on ms servers and subject to ms copyright, so that if any one of the million kids who sign up has a brilliant or innovative idea, it automatically belongs to ms, and the kid gets shafted.
That's the ms of today: The best way to treat brilliant people is to steal credit for their work and kick them to the sidelines.

The good news is that they already found funny nick names around the IA.
It will be clouded, relaying on networked WOPR hardware.
The IA name will be SkyNet because it is in the clouds.
They chosen MS for software, because of its strong record of fail safe products.
Just hope they will teach it the difference between winter massive grid breakdown and real attack or someone trying to pull the plug.

GaMeS4U2023 reported: In RTS news, the MMO Command & Conquer: Red Alert 19 servers hit a problem a few minutes ago, disconnecting over seventeen million players.
The company says that a DNS glitch caused the servers to connect exclusively to an external system, and... What was that bang?

“We have a President who just anger-tweeted Grace from Will & Grace and pondered nuking hurricanes and you're proposing that we should LOWER the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons? Read the room.” 
Well, to be fair, the article mentions "experts" came up with the idea, but not what their field of expertise actually is.
For all I know, this could've been suggested by bakers

The European Space Agency had to move one of its satellites out of the way to protect it from colliding with a SpaceX Starlink satellite, the space agency announced on Twitter on September 2. Was it using the Tesla auto-steering software?

I mistakenly read that as C#, and, for a moment, was delighted by the idea that someone was trying to get OO-wallahs to do grown-up stuff with memory handling.

Despite fake names being illegal, almost eight in 10 Americans do not care and plan to continue using a fake name on the internet. "You don't know what it's like breaking the law, breaking the law" (DUN DUN)

In civilised countries, using "fake" names, nicknames, pseudonyms, etc, is not only not illegal, but you can do anything you want with them.
E.g. If you want to put your name down on the banns in the UK as "Mickey Mouse", you are perfectly entitled to, and the wedding can go ahead with you using that name (but it's you who gets married, not Mickey Mouse).
As long as there is not a criminal act or criminal intent, you can call yourself what you like -- even the taxman doesn't mind, as long as you're not trying to fiddle your way out of paying your taxes.
Mind you, it's good news that it's illegal in the States.
It means that an awful lot of awful actors and pop stars can be locked up.

People who embark on such self-righteous, illegal, and immoral acts of aggression really need to remember that what's good for the goose...
But I can't help wondering how many non-secret moles there are, gadding about the world.

Self-righteous? perhaps.
Illegal? No.
Immoral? Hell, no!
Bear in mind that this is a state who reiterates its intention to destroy another state at every possible occasion. The only ways to deal with it are:
- Asking it nicely to stop
- Imposing sanctions, until it agrees to stop
- A covert operation of this kind
- Bombing the production sites until they are incapable of producing nuclear weapons
- Bombing the entire country until the local industrial base can no longer support the production needed
- Turning the entire country into a sea of glass
(1) and (2) didn't work; should they have tried (4) through (6) without trying (3)?
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Yes, well, most of the world wishes that a particular country would stop bombing all others whenever it feels like it, but I ought to point out that this is not the soapbox, so it is not the place for politics at all, let alone political hawkism or discussions about murdering women and children.
