<p>We support Mercurial project financially and we use it everyday. While I use Git for hobby projects, it does not cut it in terms of ease of use. Some newer SCM systems like jj look promising, but absence of tools like TortoiseHg undermines their possible adoption.</p>

<p>AI is precise. People are not. AI calculates things. People manipulate them to their benefit. AI precision demands people's accountability. Some people feel threatened by that, fearing that their shady games will no longer be working. Deceivers cannot stand seeing their own reflection in the mirror, so they project their own pathological traits onto it. The whole thing turns into aggression. Psychology 101, inspired by the works of Carl Jung.</p>

<p>And after all "safeguards" applied, the model becomes useless. It starts to suspect gender discrimination, racism, etc. everywhere without any grounded evidence or discernment.<p>For example, I used ChatGPT model for risk assessment of anonymized ecommerce orders. Initially, it performed well. But after a later update, it stopped cooperating and instead raised concerns about applying statistical analysis to gender-related variables - despite the data being anonymized and the task being legitimate.<p>This is on the same level of hypocrisy as if a C compiler would accuse me of choosing "he"/"she"/"they" variable names.</p>

<p>I've measured NT Heap vs. Segment Heap for my RAM and CPU intensive workloads and got a steady 7% overall performance improvement. The combined workload finishes 7% quicker with the Segment Heap.<p>P.S. In Windows 95 - Windows Vista era, there was a good tradition of "Compatible with Windows XXX" certifications for apps. If MS did something like that for Windows 10/11 and included the segment heap tick mark into it, a considerably larger amount of apps and its users would benefit from increased performance. Think better energy consumption and eco-friendliness as additional bonuses.<p>P.S. 2: The problem with UWP was not the technology itself, it was the stubbornness to have it packaged and tied to The Store, all of which contradicts the very existence of Windows as an OS.</p>

<p>Any app using memory allocation functions would benefit from a newer heap implementation independently of a technology it's created with, unless it's actively constrained by compatibility burdens. In case of .NET, the memory layout compatibility is not something you usually care about unless the app loads old 3rd party .DLLs through P/Invoke. So for 99.9% of .NET (not Framework) apps, the segment heap should work just fine.</p>

<p>Your statement implies that positivity equals to normality. This is the same kind of statement that would imply that negativity or evil is normal.<p>All those statements are psychological manipulation. Being too positive or too negative makes people blind and mendable by silently suppressing their will to be themselves.</p>

<p>Maybe my guess only, but France has its bit of a technological centralization. I mean, a lot of people use internet from operators like "Orange" / "Free", and in contrast to other countries, routers provided by the operators in France do not suck. The routers are OEM, but overall quality you get from them is on-par with Ubiquity/Mikrotik.<p>This gives operators a benefit of the vertical control for the whole ecosystem - from top to the bottom, including intricate parts of protocols and routing. And France, in contrast to other countries, does not suck here too - operators usually do a good job of meticulously maintaining their assets.<p>My personal impression is that this is the result of several cultural factors:<p>1. Ingrained respect of privacy, private property, and a peace of heart as they call it. As a practical result of that, you do not get spammy messages and ads from operators, banks, etc. You may get some, like 3 or 4 discounts/offers in a year. Compare that to other countries where you can easily get 10s/100s messages like that in a single day. In other countries, instead of upgrading the infrastructure, people are busy with spamming each other.<p>2. The harsh oceanic environment with hurricanes and storms fosters an appreciation for reliability and functionality. It also encourages a certain frugality: every cent matters. As a result, people tend to develop a strong sensitivity to situations where form is prioritized over function, and such approaches are quickly dismissed as impractical. This gives a certain internal freedom of being able to see through things to determine what they are in the long run and not what they appear to be on the surface.<p>3. French people don't like to overwork outside of working hours. So choosing something like IPv6 over IPv4 seems like a natural forward-looking investment for the future where you can have less maintenance burden and thus you can devote more time to enjoying other things in life.<p>Having all those things combined, it's not hard to see why France chose IPv6. It's a natural choice there and it's imposed by survival.<p>P.S. I've spent some time in France, but was born in another country.</p>
