From the features list on the compare page:
- zero cost C interop
- no null
C is a nullfest, if your language doesn't support null any interfacing with it must be limited to either a useless outside of toy implementations subset of the language or a cluster of hacks.
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?

null is just 0 wearing a preprocessor-defined hat, in C. any language that can handle a zero can handle C's null.

@iateyourmic While I am testing notification, I always send Thank you message for downloading the app, just in case if I screw up something and it ends up production..
A bit of sage advise for anyone who doesn't click through to the source twitter thread.

Toshiba's research team has broken a new record for optical fiber-based quantum communications, thanks to a new technology called dual band stabilization. And it can still be hacked by sending someone at either end a phishing email

This is un-hackable! Oh, look, that nice Nigerian prince emailed me back.

Hackers have gotten deep into EA Sports. As noted by Vice, a group of hackers have stolen information from EA sports, including the source code for FIFA 21, and the Frostbite Engine used to power all of EA Sport’s titles. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!!
But seriously people, wait for the release. And the inevitable day-0 patches. And the fixes to those patches. Really, just give it time.

This .NET Data Provider for SQL Server provides general connectivity to the database and supports all the latest SQL Server features for applications targeting .NET Framework, .NET Core, and .NET Standard.

Hey, it's not like one of my apps used the wrong SqlConnectionStringBuilder , which generated a connection string with the wrong version of the ApplicationIntent property for the SqlConnection I was using or anything.
System[^] only supports ApplicationIntent ; Microsoft[^] supports Application Intent or ApplicationIntent ; the Microsoft connection string builder uses Application Intent .
No idea why they had to change it though.

Facebook is asking for the AI community’s help in bringing down NetHack — one of the most notoriously difficult titles in gaming history — and maybe help computers learn to simulate instances faster using fewer resources. With Facebook, it is too much to ask for permadeath?
