It's not GitHub versus Gitlab. They're both based around the Git distributed version control system, but they have very different development approaches. I'm assuming the 'Hu' vs. "La"?

Fifty years ago, astronauts on one of NASA's Apollo missions hammered a pair of tubes 14 inches long into the surface of the moon. Of course they'll open it *this* year
Between this, and that demon rock in Japan[^], we're doomed.

It has been just over 3 months since our 4.0 release, and we’ve used that time to focus on performance as well as bringing the latest .NET 6 innovation to Uno Platform. By simply updating your application to the newest bits you will notice a significant boost to your app performance. Also 30% gratuitous posts by me

After acquiring Clipchamp last year, Microsoft is now bundling the app into Windows 11. It’s a browser-based app that supports trimming, splitting, transitions, and even has a screen recorder feature. In case you want to kill the radio star

Hello World might be the most frequently written computer program. For decades, it's been the first program many people write, when getting started in a new programming language. We've been living a lie all these years
"Linux has this fun device file called "/dev/full", which is like its more famous cousin "/dev/null", but when you write to "/dev/full", instead of throwing away the data, it fails. It acts like a file on a filesystem that has just run out of space" <- Learn something new every day!
Dog help you if you need your Hello World program to be correct, even in error conditions.

Beyond testing your file write code, I can't think of anything either. But it is amusing (to me).

If you unplug your computer during execution, the program also fails.
(Less snarky, the article is a straw man because it adds a success return. Made me wonder the last time I actually checked the exit code of a program. Don't remember.)

People shouldn't write "Hello World."
They should write "Hello there."

I should have left off the 'C' (didn't think about clobbering it!), then I could respond that it is my stupid programming language that doesn't require such esoteric items as line breaks! And that is why it is at the top of the list!

We still have plenty of religious doomsayers predicting the end of the world with Bible codes. But in recent times, their ranks have seemingly been joined by scientists whose only professed aim is interpreting data from climate research and sustainability estimates given population growth and dwindling resources. Something to look forward to
