If it were up to Amazon founder and Blue Origin CEO Jeff Bezos, we'll all be living inside massive cylindrical space stations one day, floating through the distant corners of our solar system while longingly staring back at the Pale Blue Dot we once called home.

This is what happens when dumb people pretend they are smart. Where is all the raw material coming from to build and power these spaceships? Worse is this nonsense:
Quote: "If we had a trillion humans, we would have, at any given time, 1,000 Mozarts and 1,000 Einsteins." We have 8 billion humans. Where are the 8 Mozarts and 8 Einsteins? (No, Taylor Swift is not a "Mozart".)
Even if Earth could support, say, 100 billion humans, do we all want to live in the equivalent of New York City? (Fresh water raises its hand...)

So, Bezos is now pushing O'Neill Cylinders. These were first proposed by Gerard K. O'Neill in his 1976 book "The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space."
Bezos can't even get to orbit.

Yeah, I vaguely recall hearing that he took a course with O’Neill at college. I guess it stuck with him.

Kent, I recommend staying away from "Futurism" as a source of articles. They're 100% garbage.

So not only is Amazon having to contract with SpaceX to launch their Kuiper satellites, they're copying Starlink's inter-satellite communications.

Event handler leaks have been around for a long time, and they are one of the peskiest issues WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) developers regularly deal with. But .NET *never* leaks memory, right?
|
|
|
|
|
The problem is that the memory isn't "leaked" if someone, or anyone, has a reference to it. The publisher / event has. If .net decided to garbage collect the subscriber, the event would be left with a (non-null) invalid pointer.
As soon as the event (or rather: the last event) referencing the subscriber, dotNet would garbage collect it.
I really would feel uncomfortable with dotNet garbage collecting an object still referenced.
