Someone asked me why I set AllowUnsafeBlocks to true in the Meziantou.DotNet.CodingStandard package "Everybody's taking the chance"

The examples given don't really describe anything that I find useful... *sigh*

That's because real world use cases are interfacing with C/C++ APIs or trying to squeeze every last bit of performance out of code in a hot loop.
Any examples of either would also be one or more of: Trivial, Contrived for the sake of demonstrating the feature, or Opaque to 99.9% of readers.
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?

Nostalgia... circa 1974 a colleague of mine celebrated the arrival of CRT terminals with a whole 96 character set by creating a byte-oriented character.
//
oo /
^^====
/\/\ The cute thing was the terminals had an underscore cursor that blinked alternately with the character, so you could make him wag his tail.

Few fields invite as much unbridled hype as quantum computing. Why is the hype pile so much bigger?

Quote: As far back as 2017, vendors were claiming the commercialization of the technology was just a couple of years away—like the announcement of a 5,000-qubit system by 2020 (which didn’t happen). There was even what I’d call antihype, with some questioning if quantum computers would materialize at all (I hope they end up being wrong). With such strongly convincing wording, I'm sold! Where can I buy a system?

The project openwebsearch.eu will create an open European infrastructure for internet search, based on European values and jurisdiction. Read about it now, because it's probably the last you'll hear of it
Probably a knee-jerk reaction on my point, but does "based on European values and jurisdiction" creep anyone else out?

It doesn't really creep me out, but I don't think it will be that successful because it will only address 10% of the internet (and that being lucky)

What is the definition of "European values"?
And if the fact that I can't open a single web site regardless of where it is hosted without it popping up those elephanting "accept my cookies" box is any indication, I'd say we're already at the mercy of European (Union) jurisdiction. (And if I accept your cookies once, can't you use that cookie to store my answer so you don't ask me Every. Single. Effing. Time?!?)
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

|
|
|
|
Or better yet, track my IP address and if I don't accept your cookies honor that every single time. I "love" the sites that try to get me to accept third party tracking cookies every time.

I don't wish to stray into politics but as a European (geographically at least) I consider it nauseatingly arrogant and presumptuous.

Java continues to move forward with features that improve performance and extend the capabilities of the open source programming language project led by Oracle. Do you want cream and sugar with that coffee?
"Java 19 is an incremental release and will only be supported for six months." <- I may have to stop complaining about .NET versioning.

Quote: Developers can use any tools they're comfortable with to write a Collaborative App. Low-code tools in the Power Platform family are great, as are Visual Studio, TypeScript, JavaScript and other pro-dev options. And they can connect to data sources from Microsoft and its partners and competitors thanks to the Microsoft Graph programming interface, the Dataverse common data service and Azure data Am I the only one thinking: ?

Mark Russinovich, Microsoft’s Azure CTO, says that C and C++ should not be used for new projects. More like RusTinovich, amirite?
