You're crazy
I mean on an abstract level, sure. It's a lovely challenge, and joyous when it actually works. But it's a write-only language. Debugging Assembler is low on my list of 'things I want to expose myself to'. And I have to admit I haven't looked at it since CPUs started going multi-core everywhere. I can't even begin to imagine playing with threading issues on it. More power to you.

LOL. The thing to note is that commenting each line of assembly is absolutely, positively necessary. That is the real code.

You're batshit crazy, and so am I. Watching a 12 ms elaboration dropping to 4.5 ms (under the same circumstances) is amazing.

Three words that will strike terror into the heart of every parent: "Some Assembly Required"
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Assembly is where we learned to describe wtf our code is doing.
No-one learns that, any more.
Or they don't learn it the hard way, at least.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore took the time to comfort those worried about the small presence of Windows phones at the event and Microsoft’s growing focus on iOS and Android devices. No, I think there's other reasons

We're making the GitHub experience better beyond the browser with two releases—a new release of Atom with Git and GitHub Integration and the new GitHub Desktop Beta, completely redesigned on Electron. These releases will help you work more productively, wherever you work best with a streamlined experience across platforms. For those that don't like that icky CLI

The hacking tool, developed by the US National Security Agency and called EsteemAudit, has been adapted and is now available for criminal use, according to security analysts. Gee, thanks for keeping us secure.

Hopefully the folks that believed that Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc... should simply crack their own security measures for law enforcement now see the error of their ways.
Once a crack exists - it will be exploited by crooks. PERIOD.

You know what really surprised me about this whole WannaCry ransomware problem? No, not how quickly it spread. Not the breadth of organisations it took offline either and no, not even that so many of them hadn't applied a critical patch that landed a couple of months earlier. Discuss

Agreed, unfortunately MS has a image problem with Windows Update, and they've not solved it.
What is worst is that technically minded people are still perpetuating a lot of BS about Windows Update.
Windows 10 update has very few issues, it doesn't interrupt, it doesn't bug. Maybe if you never restart your PC you might have a few more issues, but for the vast majority you will hardly notice it doing its job.
Even the latest creators update was clear and straightforward, you couldn't really tell it basically done an whole OS update.

Even if it does occasionally cause issues with a handful of machines..
a) Most are fine.
b) Those that aren't are eventually fixed.
c) It's still better than taking out whole sections of the internet and it's repercussions on society (e.g. hospitals shut down).
I do wonder about the wisdom of connecting absolutely everything to the internet though (IoT, we all know what's coming). The loss of the F35 designs to Chinese hackers was obvious stupidity. Seems to be the trend these days.
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

and one of its issues is that the update service is prone to jumping on its hamster wheel and burning 100% of CPU forever.

One (Microsoft) must be blind, deft and totally ignorant not to understand the reasons of closing the door for updates... However to blame it on those ignorant IT and other end users is fits the picture...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I'm with you on this.

One has a choice: Install updates, or don't. Anyways, whoever makes a decision must take the blame if it turns out to be wrong, or even worse: malicious. We're frequently ranting about higherups who decide, and then still blame us if their decision was wrong. MS is in the same boat: Others decide, and if their decision was wrong MS gets the blame.

It should be (as it always was) Choose which updates, after consultation and testing.
The last "security" update to ms office included GUI changes, and changes to language libraries.
Like %$@# those are security requirements!
