So not only is Amazon having to contract with SpaceX to launch their Kuiper satellites, they're copying Starlink's inter-satellite communications.

Event handler leaks have been around for a long time, and they are one of the peskiest issues WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) developers regularly deal with. But .NET *never* leaks memory, right?
|
|
|
|
|
The problem is that the memory isn't "leaked" if someone, or anyone, has a reference to it. The publisher / event has. If .net decided to garbage collect the subscriber, the event would be left with a (non-null) invalid pointer.
As soon as the event (or rather: the last event) referencing the subscriber, dotNet would garbage collect it.
I really would feel uncomfortable with dotNet garbage collecting an object still referenced.
|
|
|
|
|
I was going to post this. The real issue here isn't a memory management leak, it's a failure to reclaim a counted reference item, which you don't want to do as long as there's a reference to it.

Quote: Ranging from bare-metal Kubernetes to multi-cloud installations on various CSPs. The first love of every developer I know is their own machine and what runs successfully there. This is why effective preparation for cloud deployments and seamless and secure movement between cloud environments is the most crucial factor to be concerned with," explained Eisele.
To your very real point as to not using them.
I've been saying something similar. Build for on-prem cloud, basically. Containerize and internally host and scale, being your own cloud infrastructure. I think this has many benefits and no real down sides.

"Our cloud" (a private cloud) might be OK, but "the cloud" (someone else's cloud) is best avoided.
Give it ten years and then let's see what's hot.

They say the computer, dubbed DeepSouth, is capable of emulating networks of spiking neurons at a mind-melting 228 trillion synaptic operations per second, putting it on par with the estimated rate at which the human brain completes operations. Would you mind telling me... whose brain... I did simulate?
