.NET 5 will be out of support when its successor .NET 6 is released (currently scheduled to be end of 2021). .NET 6 will be an LTS (Long Term Support) release.

Quote: According to astronomers, UGC 12588 is a spiral galaxy even though it doesn’t look like one.
That's only true for obliviots who're unaware of anything other than grand design spirals. It was obviously a spiral from the first I looked at it (and before looking at the article text); one with a large bulge and small disk, no bar (meaning the bulge is circular not eliptical), and short loosely wound arms which are visible even in the bulge (traced by bright blue - young and massive - stars).
... which if you click the link in the article to the NASA source page[^] says roughly the same thing; proving that I'm as smart as a NASA blurb writer , while slashgear authors can't even understand something dumbed down for the press.
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?

You may want to check your title again.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

If you have followed Windows 10 at all during the last few years, you know that the Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL for short, is the hot topic among developers. Partial solution is partial. News at 11.

The article is typical Linux fan-boy douchbuggery.
Any mature adult is going to understand that the purpose of the Windows Subsystem for Linux is to make it easier to run Windows and Linux application stacks within the same environment. The purpose is not to act as a substitute interface for morons unwilling to learn how to use Windows because they learned Linux first, and they don't want to get Windows cooties.

The author does seem to think that Windows should be Linux. I infer from the article that he works for Microsoft and is working on Azure. If so, then he should surely know better than to think that Windows should be made to work like Linux merely because that's apparently what he expects.
If one needs to use Windows in one's job then surely one should just learn the Windows way of doing it and stop limiting one's career progression by moaning about one's employer in public!
Some of his desired capabilities could be provided by installing Cygwin. E.g. These can be done from Cygwin if I remember correctly:-Quote: Can you imagine how cool it would be if you could type ps or top within a WSL session and see Linux and Windows processes side-by-side, able to mutate their state with kill?
Can you imagine how cool it would be to manipulate Windows services from the WSL session?
Cygwin has only been around for 25 years!
Or he could install the Sysinternals tool like PsList, PsKill, etc. for a slightly *nix-y feel.
He also goes on to observe that NetBSD has had a Linux compatibility later for 25 years but I can't see why he forgets about Windows Services for Unix (in its various incarnations) which goes back almost as far.
He also says that "NetBSD even had support for… 🥁… PE/COFF binaries—that’s right, Win32 binaries" but as far as I can see that project was never completed. From what I have read, the support for COFF binaries was actually there to support Unix binaries using COFF.

I've just skimmed through his blog and it does look very much like he's experiencing not insignificant culture-shock (having worked so long at one place that definitely isn't Microsoft).
In one of his earlier blogs[^], he writes:
Quote: I know nothing about Windows and surrounding technologies (like C#) but have been interested in them for a while, so this will be my chance to absorb completely different technology. After all, I’m a systems person and the Windows ecosystem is my blind spot.
Fair enough. He's learning.
I like him more now.
