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?

The role of sysadmin may not be going away anytime soon, but here's why system administrators are not as important to companies as they once were. If they take away our sysadmins, who will stop developers from deploying code?

In other words, the sysadmin job changed its name to DevOps and expanded.

We’re making GitHub Copilot, an AI pair programmer that suggests code in your editor, generally available to all developers for $10 USD/month or $100 USD/year. It will also be free to use for verified students and maintainers of popular open source projects. Just remember that 'letting go of the wheel' is still not recommended

Will Electric blue still be Electric blue, or will it split into Conductive Electric blue and Non-conductive Electric blue?

When I originally read this I thought it said; "Electrically conductive pants and other polymer alloys now produced easily" anfd thought that would be interesting.

Sometimes developers hear that "LINQ is slower than using a for loop" and wonder whether that means they should avoid using LINQ for performance reasons. Or just the other reasons
I guess that should be reasons().other().or()?

im not gonna write a test to check this but
- is there a difference of example linq, and writing 1 select.
Having tried to write this, Im only 20% sure now if can be written close to the following☹️
Enumerable.Range(1, N).AsParallel()
.Select(n => {
var a = new {n * 2);
var b = Math.Sin((2 * Math.PI * a) / 1000))
var c = Math.Pow(b, 2) } )
.Sum();
2.
write Linq for readability instead the "depending on what for" performance.

To write:
Enumerable.Range(1, N).AsParallel()
.Select(n => n * 2)
.Select(n => Math.Sin((2 * Math.PI * n) / 1000))
.Select(n => Math.Pow(n, 2))
.Sum(); with a single Select would be more like:
Enumerable.Range(1, N).AsParallel()
.Select(n => Math.Pow(Math.Sin((4 * Math.PI * n) / 1000), 2)
.Sum(); However, it shouldn't make a huge difference. LINQ already optimizes .Select(x => fn1(x)).Select(x => fn2(x)) to .Select(x => fn2(fn1(x))) , so the only extra overhead would be from calling multiple delegates rather than just one.
