Honestly I'd be disappointed if he stepped down. Watching this slow motion train wreck has been more entertaining than anything on Netflix. Cutting his losses and running would be like canceling the third season of some particularly compelling garbage drama show.

I once bought a "new" hard drive off Amazon. The connectors looked suspiciously scratched up, like it had been used before.

When I dug deeper, they had wiped the SMART data and the partition table, but it was absolutely full of readable data. I found clear text server logs indicating that this drive was in a backblaze center for several thousand hours.

You can do some weird stuff to GC in C#. I haven't looked at it in several years, but I'm pretty sure there's a way to suspend GC at runtime. There's definitely a mechanism to force immediate GC, and functions to exempt an object from GC.

C# is a lot more flexible than people give it credit for, I've seen some absolutely amazing things built this way. Of course, manipulating C# in unexpected ways is an absolute nightmare, but with enough determination you can do about anything
