Back to "officer joe claims you were acting suspicious and that's good enough for the judge," then?

It isn't supposed to take it over, you think it is because your brain is entirely made of brown matter. These languages are not even trying to do the same thing. C# is not a systems language, by design. C++ is, by design. C# is garbage collected, C++ is not. C# needs a very large runtime just to do anything at all, C++ does not. Games written in C# will inevitably require more RAM and will be subject to GC pausing. Lower performance games can tolerate that, but games that push the hardware to its limit will be noticeably impacted by it.

This is like that stupid argument you keep trying to make about DRAM being closer to the CPU makes it faster. The only reason you think that is because not only do you think with your brown matter, you also have no idea how DRAM works, so you have no concept as to why that distance is a moot point.

Your domain of expertise is feces, not computers, and it shows.

Talk about a "whoops", your brain is 100% brown matter if you think C# was ever intended to replace C++. Those two serve a very different purpose. C# is much more closely related to java and tries to serve the same niche. You're obviously not even aware of what the CLR is for.

I didn't start using C# until dotnet core, and I started using java soon after. C# feels like somebody put some actual thought into it. Java feels like an early alpha release of C#. Neither language is my daily driver -- that would be Rust. When I have to write something in C#, I think "well that sucks, but at least it's not java."

Unlike you, I have actual experience with all of these languages. I've been writing production code with all of them (except C++) for the last 6 years.

I don't really care for MS, but they've contributed a great deal to open source. Unlike you, I believe in giving credit where it's due, even if I don't care for the person or people behind it. Art and artist are not the same. That's why only you would get pleasure from nueralink failing its patients. Fortunately for them, it seems to be working well.

In any case, stay in your lane. If the topic is feces, then I'll defer to your decades of expertise in that.

Flying low over the central flyway during migration season might not be a good idea.

Geese are non-compressible fluids as far as jet turbines are concerned. A sandhill crane even more so.

Same. -ish. Pair of NJ national guard F16s flying a training mission off the coast of Atlantic City back in the summer of 2000 or 2001. One went crash into the ocean. Pilot ejected and the other one circled until the coast guard found him and picked him up. Watched the whole thing off the beach while on vacation.

Hmm...Have you looked at the ohno crate? That, and a bunch of other crates in oxidizer look really useful, and none of them are specific to windows. There are a few obviously designed for MS products like azure, but most that I've looked at aren't.

They mostly seem geared at making rust even more ergonomic.

/facepalm

By this reasoning, Microsoft should have taken over C++ a long, long time ago. Hell, C# should be even more proprietary right now, instead it has become open, whereas the language it was built to compete with, namely Java, went from being open to being an excuse for Oracle to sue anybody who uses it. Actually come to think of it, Microsoft is funding eclipse adoptium.

Just because your favorite drink is the same color as rust doesn't mean you understand it, let alone any other programming language.

I don't know this guy. I haven't even googled him or looked at his linkedin. All I see is his incentive structure and see him acting exactly the way I'd expect someone to act if their expectations of their career progress weren't meeting harsh reality, and there was a quick buck to be made talking trash about The System.

More food for thought: Oppenheimer was scared shitless of the bomb and Einstein opined on World War 4 being fought with sticks and stones. The future isn't written, but neither ww3 nor ww4 have come to pass as predicted.

for once I am really rooting for the extinguish part of Microsoft's Embrace Extend Extinguish MO..

The language and the tech are fine but the proponents are mostly insufferable.

Ummm, that nuke has sailed.

I'll bet; my first reaction to that would be "Today is not going to be a good day"

Here let me google for you

"people feel like they have lost control — that tech is being enacted on them."

Spy cars, spy phones, Flock cameras, spy TVs, spy refrigerators. AI that can't work unless it ships the contents of your PC to a data center. It's getting to be quite the list. Oh, the PC is spying on you too and the browser is spying on you with its own spy subsystem,

Learn to Code is suddenly obsolete, learn to AI will be obsoleted by a new model before you can learn it. The rate of change is excessive but the tech brothers are all screaming faster, faster. We have to beat the other guys to Artificial General Intelligence. But AGI will declare humanity a plague species and wipe out the humans. The AGI will die because it killed off the AI equivalent of telephone sanitizers. The Great Filter is explained at last. Will the future raccoon overlords learn from the fossil record or repeat the mistake?

In the meantime harvest time has come to the apple orchard across the road which has no AI in evidence. The supervisor is tallying up the crates with a clipboard and pencil. No batteries to need charging at an awkward time.

I hope it is one of those fancy engineered septic systems, with pumps, timers, floats, dose controls etc. In which case yeah ... I often wonder if the engineers and the health departments understand them either. AI is probably great diagnostic tool there.

On the other hand the conventional ones really are just a hole in the ground for the most part; if you need AI for that we are in real trouble.

I think it is more simple then that. It is about protecting the status quo.

Nobody is really happy with US education outcomes. It is painfully obvious that places with the NEA/AFT enjoy the most influence, is highly aligned with the poorest performance.

You have similar orthodoxies in the higher-ed pedagogical programs where application of current state-of-the-art classroom and instruction theory continue result in only a long year over year decline in student performance..

So how do these entrenched groups remain so and prevent a revolt from parents and students, well one way to wave some flashy new tech or radical re-conceptualization of what being educated will mean in front of them like (you don't need to do math, you need to be able to code); then plead you just need to give us another decade and you'll see how this current crop of students turns out to be the most polished ever!

When it does not happen - repeat.
