From the very beginning, a core feature of .NET was the database access framework known as ADO.NET or System.Data. You may as well corrupt the database all at once

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.

The online app boosts existing protection for your computers and phones. Just remember to not let the aliens pick up the humans from the surface, and keep the hyperspace button handy
Obscure enough that only one of the three of us knows what that's even supposed to mean.

Windows 11 for enterprise and consumers will soon have Microsoft's new take on search in the taskbar. It looks like you're trying to find something. We'd like to make that as irritating as possible.

|

And by "new take on search" they mean, "a way to once again start working ads into the search bar (as well as annoy)"
|

This is a really, really bad direction they are going.

That is cynical, curmudgeonly, and 100% accurate.

Xamarin co-founder and former Microsoft exec Miguel de Icaza blasted the company -- along with many others -- for introducing closed-source functionality in a new scheme for the official C# extension for Visual Studio Code, calling the move "an unacceptable abuse of power."

Maybe I didn't have enough sleep. I read the headline in the Daily Mail as keyBOARDS several times. I finally had to click to see what these new keyBOARDS would look like.
Somehow when I clicked that link, you changes that word to keyWORDS.
How'd you do that?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
