I'm just surprised that much about blockchain/bitcoin.

I'm aghast at quotes like "our overriding goal is to maintain the integrity of our financial system and protect it from abuse", in the article.
Do they really think that those of us in the real world don't have a clue about the cr@p they get up to?
Cryptocurrencies just give people outside "the city" a chance to access a percentage of the money that "the city" has been stealing from everyone for God-only-knows how long.
That's not to say that I'm in favour of cryptocurrencies, but if we can't stop billions upon billions being stolen from us, does it really matter which egomaniacal bunch of reprehensible, sh1thead thieves is stealing them?

The next major version release of the C# language (C# 8) has some exciting new capabilities. Let's look at the hat and range operators, two new features in C# 8. "Later generations will regard set theory as a disease from which one has recovered."
Yay! A hat operator that works entirely differently from that in C/C++!

A set-based construct by another name is still a PITA to use.
Thank the Lord that they've found another PITA way to do the same thing that was just as much of a PITA to use before! (Unless you use Z, of course, but they were probably scared of the leap-of-faith jump required to go from C to Z).

Because C# didn't already have a hat operator[^] that works in the same way as C/C++.

Yeah, bad me. I should have known (or at least looked). Ah well, if I didn't look like a fool, I would look like nothing.

There are some things to keep in mind if you plan to jump on Blazor at this moment. Blazor inherits years of maturity from .NET and Razor and is very capable, but it still does not deliver certain features which might be show stoppers for some of you. As a bonus, telling someone you're a Blazor developer makes them think you're a sharp dresser
Well, better than T-shirt and cargo shorts anyway.

So it’s a framework that can’t do what we can already do, yet is “way better”. Sounds like .net core (which Blazor is based on), so I guess... yeah, sure. why not?

And obsolete before v4, replaced with something far more complicated and far less capable, but with more new and shiny buzzwords attached.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Quote: This means a very basic application could carry with it anywhere from 2 to 3 MB. This might not seem like much, but its actually quite substantial in the world of web applications. I would like to point out that caching drastically reduces this traffic, but there is a substantial initial load impact. Microsoft is actively working on reducing the footprint of Blazor applications so expect this to get much better over time.
With heroic efforts to shrink the size of pages it's possible that Blazor v2021 will be able to reduce first load size all the way to 4-6MB.
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?

WG21 has a strict schedule by which we ship the standard every three years. We don’t delay it. Because that's how long it takes companies to decide they won't be upgrading to the latest standard?
