You should try to get a job in Azure, you’d feel right at home!

.net462 baby!

More like 4.6.2

Very little, as in fingers in hand, little in Azure

To be explicit this is a problem with the system, whereby an arbitrary thing can demand by force something.

I wish EU/US et al wouldn’t do this but they do. Let’s further the comments outside this point.

I’m going to get downvoted for stating the obvious but …:

Lots of comments talking about “but US subsidiary, still has to follow US laws if mandated”

If I added the amount of sources where the EU imposes something on a non-EU company here it would crash the server.

It’s not, if you look at his X account, he talks about his work adding on the CUDA parts

Vultr has gpus and locations in Miami.

Good pricing and easy to spin up/down machines.

Sovereign immunity needs to be rid off entirely.

This all stems from the idea that God anointed the king, therefore he can do no wrong.

Except we know that humans are corrupt, malevolent, etc.

All individuals/offices in government should be liable for their actions.

I’ve found significant code in c/c++ where bitwise operations are done for things like division etc by shifting a certain way.

I Can imagine in the past, this was “faster”, yet clang/gcc can emit the same by just writing a basic A/B function.

Seems the win goes to readability by reducing some of these old school hacks.

What say you, greybeards ?

This is just the decay of knowledge over time and laziness combined.

From a quick glance internally, the overwhelming majority of repos are using an antiquated build/packager that while it might have been useful a decade ago is a productivity killer today.

The newer build / package system used publicly is light years ahead and provides a boon in productivity.

Not really sure why so many services in MSFT still run .NetFramework when “just” migrating over can lead to sometimes order of magnitude increase runtime performance and decreased resource consumption.

I think one of the real reasons is internally, most of the leads aren’t aware of it. There should be more evangelizing of the .NET team across the different orgs

Would be interesting to see how far a J2EE app will take you on this!

Lol “violence blabber”. Call a spade a spade.

I too am from South America, never have I seen anyone down there assume they are “American”.

This is just a ban list, or better yet a black list to bring a 1984 dystopia.

This isn’t an issue for anyone but for people like yourself.

Like you said there are a couple words used for Americans in Spanish:

Gringo, Americano, Estadounidense.

That set of words does not intersect with any words used to describe anyone from South America. This applies to slang or official sources.

Please show me an example where a Paisa from Colombia or Argentino would like to be referenced as “American”.

In fact, especially with the World Cup win, any warm blooded Argentinian would fight if called “American”.

Plus it’d be an easy fight as someone who’s pushing for “words are violence” has clearly never experienced real violence.

Well yes. Look at the increased mortality across the heavily vaccinated countries. German insurers are coming out saying there’s a non-COVID /non-standard “thing” that’s impacting people, in particular, males.
