In this post, I’ll highlight ~250 pull requests that have contributed to myriad of performance improvements across .NET 5. Because we all wanna go faster

The performance increase appears to be fairly significant

Microbenches are shiney, but what I'm really interested in is how or if the changes in aggregate affect real world systems. While I realize that's going to vary considerably from one application to the next; I'd love to see performance stats for a few functioning applications (web and desktop) to see if any of this matters in real world scenarios.
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?

Exactly. E.g. while I can write code proving that arithmetic overflow protection is costly, it does not affect our applications at all, despite a lot of number-crunching. Still such simple things are disabled by default and may result in strange errors (which may get undetected by typical users).

IBM's Global Technology Services has posted a job ad calling for candidates with a “minimum 12+ years’ experience in Kubernetes administration and management”. But if you do have the experience, at least you'll be the only candidate

12 years experience for something that's only been in existence for 6?
Dontcha just love HR?

Only schizophrenics may apply.

By applying for the job, you show proof that
- you do not care about requirements
- you tell lies when you think it's OK to do so
- you cannot do math
- any combination
Anyway, that's proof that you are competent for a job at that company.

At least in the HR department.

They didn't spell "Center" correctly. I don't trust 'em.

Our second Work Trend Index report explores this idea by combining insights from three sources: trends behind how our customers use our tools; findings from a Harris Poll survey of over 2,000 remote workers in six countries; and conclusions from over 30 research projects from across Microsoft that seek to understand the experience for remote workers today via surveys, interviews, diary studies, focus groups, and studies of the human brain. Strange how so much can be fixed with just a healthy (or unhealthy) addition of Microsoft software

And no telemetry involved? I thought that's exactly the reason for it... to know about usage and user experience...
or are they lying to us about it?
