Meanwhile, I recently proposed doing the work of updating the runtime versions from .netframework over to even .net5+ to save $millions/quarter.
I ran benchmarks, showing 2-10x+ improvements.
Got told, “lol no, this service is unlike Bing”. For context, Bing has amazing blogs on this*.
This, btw is inside networking for Azure…
Not sure at what point I should stop caring. Could easily improve operating expenses to the tune of hundreds/billions per year if they applied this across Azure.
This is just the decay of knowledge over time and laziness combined.
From a quick glance internally, the overwhelming majority of repos are using an antiquated build/packager that while it might have been useful a decade ago is a productivity killer today.
The newer build / package system used publicly is light years ahead and provides a boon in productivity.
Not really sure why so many services in MSFT still run .NetFramework when “just” migrating over can lead to sometimes order of magnitude increase runtime performance and decreased resource consumption.
I think one of the real reasons is internally, most of the leads aren’t aware of it. There should be more evangelizing of the .NET team across the different orgs
Well yes. Look at the increased mortality across the heavily vaccinated countries. German insurers are coming out saying there’s a non-COVID /non-standard “thing” that’s impacting people, in particular, males.
Places swanky enough to offer stocks and benefits.
The idea that all are equally lined up against the wall for quick execution. Typically happens at swanky/rich companies leading up to more “equity/inclusion” pushed down your throat.
Inside Azure there’s an over reliance to C#, and the older versions of it to boot! So one team in charge of making .NET run faster and better, while the other one drags on using decade old versions
Then for “speed” there’s weird mashups of C++ and C# that are just littered with terrible internal build tools that harken back to a nice 2010s and the idea of:
“Idk it builds in my machine just fine”
As far as Rust goes, it’s as plentiful as F# projects (so not existing).
But that’s just what my close friend says at least.
Typically taxes. As the good is "officially" imported by some company, tariffs are applied at the port.
So in such countries, the "official" big store price is $price + $tariff + $profit-margin. Or you do what most people in such a place do is either travel abroad and or get a friend etc to bring you one.
The gov gets wise to this and so they then begin saying things like "travelers can only have 1 used phone and 1 new phone on them".
Happened to me once when traveling abroad. I had taken like 2 xboxs to sell for marginal profit, when they opened my bags and confiscated one of them. Had to pay say $100, which for a $200-300 item is a STEEP tariff.
If i didn't pay it, i'd essentially relinquish the item altogether. Sweet life.
.net462 baby!
