We'd like to have an easy way of judging open-source programs. It can be done. But easily? Dream on!. Not guilty for reasons of gratuity?

The same way you would any other software:
Presumed to be organically produced ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) fertilizer until proved to be organically produced fertilizer?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Intel gave us a deep look at its upcoming 11th generation ”Tiger Lake” CPUs last month — now, it’s unveiled the chips we can expect in thin and light laptops later this year. The article doesn't mention the most important Intel news - a new logo!
Oh, sure. Faster, better battery life, yadda yadda.

The trimming can either be too little or too much – too little when code is included that won’t be used, and too much when code is removed that will actually be used. Shave and a haircut - 2 bytes

Pardon me for being an old fart here but:
If I ing define something in my code, I ing expect you to include it in the executable, nothing more, nothing less.
This strikes me as a great way to have unusual run-time errors and crashes whose only evidence trail is in the Windows event log, which only 3 out of 10 programmers know how to use.

From what I've read, it's more about trimming members from the framework when you're doing a self-contained deployment, rather than trimming members from your own application.

Hmm. While I use reflection every so often, I've not had a need to use 'dynamic code'. This still seems like a feature you should be allowed to completely disable.

I still haven't forgiven Microsoft for the time I discovered that their C compiler would move what appeared to be loop-invariant values out of a loop, even when the values were marked by the volatile keyword. The values in question were buffer controls in an interrupt service (yes, it's that old of a rant). I also discovered that #pragma optimize() was advisory only, and didn't work in a controlled fashion. I finally turned off optimization for the entire application.

As part of Microsoft’s Defending Democracy Program, in a blog post today Microsoft announced a number of initiatives to address the scourge of fake news and other disinformation campaigns. It looks like you're trying to save democracy. Would you like help with that?

Quote: NewsGuard operates a team of experienced journalists who rate online news websites on the basis of nine journalistic integrity criteria...
If this doesn't result in the establishment media trying to create an echo chamber, I will be very surprised indeed.

Yes I would be interested to know the political persuasion of these "journalists".
What are the qualifications these days to call yourself a journalist? Certainly no more than to be a used car salesman.
The difficult we do right away...

Microsoft has confirmed that they no longer allow Microsoft Defender to be disabled via the Windows 10 Registry to support the Tamper Protection security feature. Because we said so
