Now we have more than one type of bug to worry about.

A recently discovered bug in Apple’s mobile OS means that anyone can effectively crash another individual’s iPhone, or send it into Safe Mode if jailbroken, by simply sending a SMS or iMessage containing a specific set of non-Latin characters. Remember: with great power comes great responibility

"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

One of the most common questions we receive is if Microsoft is going to charge for updates to Windows 10. 100% guaranteed. Maybe. Ask again later.

The astronauts on NASA’s Apollo 10 mission in May 1969 paved the way for a pivotal moment in human history, but in the process, introduced an entirely new kind of space exploration mystery. "To boldly go..."
Ah, the romance of space travel

Yagni originally is an acronym that stands for "You Aren't Gonna Need It". It is a mantra from ExtremeProgramming that's often used generally in agile software teams. FWIW

But then when you realize that you actually do need it it'll require a week of refactoring to add it later.

That's "YAPGNI" (You Are Probably Gonna Need It). Of course, some Architect Astronaut would just sprinkle another layer of pattern pixie dust to try making it better. "Just apply a Visitor to the collection of Abstract Factories"

If you'd paid more attention...
"Yagni only applies to capabilities built into the software to support a presumptive feature, it does not apply to effort to make the software easier to modify."
I think Martin Fowler, of all people, is aware of the cost of Refactoring.[^]
Of course I've seen plenty of developers only capable of refuctoring.

Following on the success of Java, Microsoft likewise chose to distance itself from its strong roots in C and C++. "They've still got one foot in the Dark Ages — if I tell them the truth they'll panic and think it was witchcraft."

So.. is it a good thing or a bad thing?
And... I might be wrong, but I don't think C# is that slow.. only startup time seems to be an... "issue"
EDIT I have no care about possible "C# issues", I just wonder what he is talking about... to me it just sound like "we (C++ developers) are not loved enough" moaning without much insight into whether or not there is even a problem!...
EDIT2After re-reading carefully... I got it!
Hiding in the rant is, in fact, a shameless plug of self advertising! 
Why can't MS people promote Kenny Kerr work?![^]

My mantra is: performance comes from the architecture and design. A fool is getting a C++ program slow.
C# is somehow like Java: once started it is internally well optimized (as C++) and only the GUI is someway slow.

Have the issues with garbage-collection occurring at arbitrary and inopportune times been solved?
When a C# game performs as well as the same game written in C/C++, running on the same hardware, I'll be convinced. Before then it seems just like it always has - one trades of development cycle time for program performance. In some instances, this is an advantageous trade-off (CRUD apps, etc) in others, this trade-off is fatal - (RTOS, games, ISRs in DSPs).

In fact I don't care much about alleged C# issues, I am just trying to understand what he is complaining about!
Sounds like "they don't like us, C++ developer, enough" to me... a vague rant without substance...
