Article: The company just decided the litigation would have cost more than the settlement. At $25 per claimant, that settlement would cost it as much as $500 million. Not a small figure but probably still cheaper than letting the case go on. and that's a big part of the problem... as long as they (and I don't mean Apple alone) don't get real consequences and they can do things like this, they won't learn anything and will continue doing what they want and treating us (the average joe and consumers) as the last crap (instead of treating us with some kind of respect because we are the ones making them rich).

Torvalds worries about compiler bugs: 'Very rare, but incredibly hard to debug' Does this mean Linus will have to yell at people in a new language?
Because nothing says, "shiny new code" better than ferric oxide.

A new archive of the entirety of English Wikipedia for Kiwix, an offline browser for web content, is now available for download to anyone who wants to browse offline or have a local backup of the online encyclopedia. Because you never know where you might need to lookup who won the shot put gold medal in the 1924 Olympics
Or to prove the "Getting to Philosophy" theory.

I'm sure that's very optimally compressed. Out of curiosity I tried to find how big the Encyclopedia Britannica's were, and the only thing to quickly show is that the 2002 edition came to about 264 GB. While doing so I found that EBs were no longer being printed after 2010! Did not know that.

After getting caught up in the craze and buying an ipod 20 years ago, apart from a tank-warz type game, something I remember being able to do with it was upload the entire English contents of wiki, which at the time, came to just 5gb.

While other message queuing systems are generally preferred, many enterprise applications were based on MSMQ and this creates a problem for teams looking to migrate from .NET Framework to .NET Core or the upcoming .NET 5. "Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time."

Did anyone really think that there would not be "compatibility issues" between the different .Net worlds?
A little clue: ".Net Framework" and ".Net Core" not even the names are 50% similar.

Anything Windows-specific cannot be ported to .Net Core because it's "cross-platform". WCF is the big deal for me. Beware of using anything in the windows namespace if you're writing for Linux.

With C++20 we get two new keywords: consteval and constinit. consteval produces a function that is executed at compile-time and constinit guarantees that a variable is initialized at compile-time. "Constant craving has always been"
