It is often argued that it more clearly exresses the intent of the coder. I
would usually agree with this.

This has been brought up before. Most MS code uses String.Empty but from
what has been stated before it's real purpose is to simply provide languages
that don't directly support strings the ability to represent an empty string
anyway. For languages that do support strings (such as C#) then the "" is
fine. I would, in general, disagree that String.Empty is more clear than ""
because "" is far more concise and universally known as an empty string. The
only exception would be when it could be construed as a string with a single
space. This can sometimes be hard to discern depending on font size.
Performance wise however they are equivalent.

Right, and it's theoretically more flexible/portable, because you don't
rely on the fact that "" is the empty string. Hard to come up with a
practical example here, but the String.Empty syntax simply introduces that
additional layer of abstraction. Personally, I like the fact that it's
there and I use it, although it doesn't really make any difference to the
workings of your code (yet?).

You're right on the portability front, just like I use Environment.New Line
instead of "\r\n".

Looking at the IL generated, there's a difference, but both strings will
be pulled out of the string interning cache so there will be no
difference at runtime.

I do, too - but only if I want the environment's 'new line' string.
If I actually want "\r\n" I use exactly that.

No, there's no portability gain here. An empty string is an empty
string whatever platform you're on, whereas the new line varies by
system.

I am surprised to discover that c# automatically converts an integer to a
string when concatenating with the "+" operator. I thought c# was supposed
to be very strict about types. Doesn't it seem like c# is breaking its own
rules?
This works:
int b = 32;
string a = "ABC " + b;
Result: a = "ABC 32"

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
