GaMeS4U2023 reported: In RTS news, the MMO Command & Conquer: Red Alert 19 servers hit a problem a few minutes ago, disconnecting over seventeen million players.
The company says that a DNS glitch caused the servers to connect exclusively to an external system, and... What was that bang?

“We have a President who just anger-tweeted Grace from Will & Grace and pondered nuking hurricanes and you're proposing that we should LOWER the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons? Read the room.”
Well, to be fair, the article mentions "experts" came up with the idea, but not what their field of expertise actually is.
For all I know, this could've been suggested by bakers

The European Space Agency had to move one of its satellites out of the way to protect it from colliding with a SpaceX Starlink satellite, the space agency announced on Twitter on September 2. Was it using the Tesla auto-steering software?

Despite fake names being illegal, almost eight in 10 Americans do not care and plan to continue using a fake name on the internet. "You don't know what it's like breaking the law, breaking the law" (DUN DUN)

In civilised countries, using "fake" names, nicknames, pseudonyms, etc, is not only not illegal, but you can do anything you want with them.
E.g. If you want to put your name down on the banns in the UK as "Mickey Mouse", you are perfectly entitled to, and the wedding can go ahead with you using that name (but it's you who gets married, not Mickey Mouse).
As long as there is not a criminal act or criminal intent, you can call yourself what you like -- even the taxman doesn't mind, as long as you're not trying to fiddle your way out of paying your taxes.
Mind you, it's good news that it's illegal in the States.
It means that an awful lot of awful actors and pop stars can be locked up.

People who embark on such self-righteous, illegal, and immoral acts of aggression really need to remember that what's good for the goose...
But I can't help wondering how many non-secret moles there are, gadding about the world.

Self-righteous? perhaps.
Illegal? No.
Immoral? Hell, no!
Bear in mind that this is a state who reiterates its intention to destroy another state at every possible occasion. The only ways to deal with it are:
- Asking it nicely to stop
- Imposing sanctions, until it agrees to stop
- A covert operation of this kind
- Bombing the production sites until they are incapable of producing nuclear weapons
- Bombing the entire country until the local industrial base can no longer support the production needed
- Turning the entire country into a sea of glass
(1) and (2) didn't work; should they have tried (4) through (6) without trying (3)?
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Yes, well, most of the world wishes that a particular country would stop bombing all others whenever it feels like it, but I ought to point out that this is not the soapbox, so it is not the place for politics at all, let alone political hawkism or discussions about murdering women and children.

Interfaces are getting a significant overhaul in C# 8. I've been looking at some of the features, and I'm frankly stumped at some of the decisions that have been made. You had me at, "C# 8 are a bit of a mess"
I'm sure someone needs this, but I'm beginning to feel they're just shoveling features for shoveling's sake.

It does seem to muddy the water, but since in C# using abstract classes as interfaces would disallow multiple inheritance, it makes sense to add default implementation to interfaces. Once you have that though, it becomes necessary to have access modifiers to enable hiding. Not sure of the point of static data in an interface though except to enable some of the possible default implementations.

This is why I subscribe to Java Code Geeks (JCG). I haven't used Java for 6 years (and even that was a very old version), but JCG gives info on changes to Java which often get 'invented' for C# about 6 months to a year later. I have been reading articles about interfaces with default implementations in Java for some months now.
