A survey of 250 software developers and architects in the U.S. found nearly three-quarters of respondents (74%) reported that the average cost of an application modernization project is nearly $1.5 million, with 79% noting that at least one of these projects has failed. Just bolt a few tailfins on it and call it done

Ya know, in the car enthusiast community, we have a saying - "Buy once, cry once."
Modernizing a monolithic application does indeed cost a lot, but should be done with an eye on maintainability and using lessons learned about what is changed, implementing a degree of future-proofing into the new code base. The cost for the modernization will ALWAYS be less than the cost of future maintenance.

Toxic discussions on open-source GitHub projects tend to involve entitlement, subtle insults, and arrogance, according to an academic study. Bad behaviour amongst developers? It can't exist!

I think what they're trying to say is that just because you're a developer, doesn't mean that you aren't subject to human nature.

The sixth edition of the C# language specification allows for more openness and community participation in changes to the language, Microsoft said. Good news for those waiting for it to be standardized.
Yeah, yeah. Sixth edition. Still, let's call it ECMA# from now on.

Phishing simulator data from Kaspersky’s Security Awareness Platform shows that workers tend to not notice pitfalls hidden in emails devoted to corporate issues and delivery problem notifications, with one in five (16% to 18%) clicking the link in the email templates imitating these phishing attacks.

True optimism is getting it filled with all the rich bullies and testing that theory.

The cliff doesn't need to be that tall. A 45 meter cliff (150 feet for USians) would allow reaching speeds of more than 100 km/h (62 mph), which is plenty for crashing a (non-)flying turd.

Assume each of these 'rich' passengers/renters/owners would be happy with 750 square feet. 5000 people means 3.75 million square feet. If the rooms are 7 feet high, that means 26.25 million cubic feet. The cubic root of this is 297.2 feet.
Of course, this doesn't include the space for the mall, propulsion systems, ...
So your 150 feet would only result in, at maximum, the plane tipping at the halfway point if it was made in a cube. Perhaps a better height would be (297.2 + 200 (fudge factor) + 150) = ~650 feet.
I say, go higher!
