It was 2018. As someone who worked at GitHub during the Microsoft era, I think Microsoft was a pretty reasonable steward of GitHub right up until Copilot started getting popular. After that, leadership stopped investing in the core product

They're charging you for orchestration, log storage, artifact storage, continued development of the runner binary itself and features available to self-hosted machines. What would your own machine do without the runner and service it c

Agree. We're using C# in the backend for an MMO, and while I would still like _more_ control over the memory management, there's a ton of options for dropping down to a low level and avoiding the GC. Stuff like ReadOnlySpan and IM

> On top of that, most infra tooling—Grafana, Prometheus, Kubernetes, Terraform—is written in Go, so choosing Go for the backend comes with a ton of advantages over C#. Not once have I ever had to interact with these technologies in a wa

It's HTTPS. Not only are you getting checksumming from TCP, but any block that had bitflips would fail TLS decryption and would fail the entire transfer. You're not going to see silent corruption in transit.

Unless there were some sort of government-provided zero fee digital system for money transfer. Oh well, surely such a thing will never exist.

TCP implementations are an abstraction that work 99.99% of the time, but are still vulnerable to two generals when you look close. TCP is implemented in the kernel with a buffer, the kernel responds with ACKs before an application reads the

You are in control. You can disable secure boot, you can install your own keys, you don't have to boot windows, you don't have to play games that demand invasive anti-cheat. Vote with your wallet. Relying on the community to polic

Wow how did I not think of that, surely the pattern of services getting worse to extract more money from users is due to someone saying a dirty word on the internet.

I would highly recommend getting a drone simulator off Steam. You can practice the controls and drill them into your fingertips during times when you can't fly the real thing (battery recharging, night time, weather, ...). Most advance

It's almost like you didn't read the article. Anyone can increment the variable, and both MS and the Linux communities agreed on the solution. How dare Microsoft operate within the bounds of an agreed-upon industry standard, what

I've always wondered where the love for Go comes from because this is exactly my take.

Inspecting intermediate representations is trivial by just collecting them into a variable? More complicated scenarios are exactly what streaming APIs excel at, by treating each step as a single transformation of data. Lack of a proper grou

C# has an official language server and an unofficial one (that unfortunately seems less maintained now). It works just fine with neovim. Funny enough, it's the efforts of Omnisharp and the VSCode team that has so significantly improved

VMs as an isolation concept at the processor level are actually quite efficient, but unfortunately we use that to run whole operating systems which impose their own inefficiency. Micro-VMs that just run a process without an OS (or with an O

It's a high effort way of calling the GP an NPC, so just an insult.

They didn't "give the keys", they have a signing infrastructure that is meant to be used for validating organizational identity and origins of code. They have a quality checking system, but it's only required for certain

I can assure you the Windows advertisement platform goes through QA. You might need to think more about separating "what they do" from "how they do it".

They could say "third party kernel modules are installed at your own risk" and provide the usual level of business hours support. CrowdStrike fucked up and Microsoft is helping its customers recover from CrowdStrike's fuckup.

If some third party software you chose to install on your system added a kernel module and started causing kernel panics, would you blame the kernel maintainers? I'm sure if MS decides to remove the ability for third parties to write c

You have no idea what you're talking about. Even mediocre FPS players use positional sound as a huge cue for how to react, which means the client is going to know the positions of every player and non-player entity in a medium range. T

Oh so that's why Copilot has a filter to prevent suggesting copyrighted code, because the intent is to duplicate copyrighted code. It all makes sense now.

It's The Register, they are always like this. Especially when Microsoft is involved.

They absolutely are not. Hundreds of thousands of Ruby tests end up being pretty slow to execute. The CI machines have all dependencies pre-cached and different tests are parallelized across multiple VMs, yet still a full suite takes ~12 mi

That image looks like unscientific nonsense. Craving sugar means I need carbon? Carbon is the building block of every organic chemical, and elemental carbon has very little use in the body. It's near meaningless to say you need carbon.

Not exactly. The promise of SGX and secure hardware enclaves is that the code that executes there should run with access to protected encrypted memory pages (enforced by the CPU VMM), and the state of the enclave can be remotely attested. B
