Why don't you block those posts? Do you just like to
get mad? Neither of them posts anything but pro-MS
and anti-everyone else. I'm not convinced either one
is even a human. Though Good Guy's animosity seems
a bit too colorful to be cooked up by software.

Do you actually understand the page linked? I don't.
I wasn't aware that so-called quantum computing even
existed yet. Maybe it doesn't and they're just planning.
The fact the author uses "TL;DR" is a good indicator
that he thinks by piling popular, current cliches together.

Which is an interesting thing about programmers in general.
They tend to be people who are very good with math
but virtually incapable of intellectual thinking. By which
I mean that if the meaning of life or advice on dating can't
be rendered in a scientific formula then it doesn't count
for them as a relevant topic for their attention.

The piece is sort of interesting, though. It sounds like
Q is meant to be used like inline assembly. The main
difference I can see is that inline assembly does something,
going direct to the CPU, while it's not clear what, if
anything, Q does at this point. Their sample code looks
like randomization. But I don't think I have the curiosity
to figure out whether they're really talking about something.
(Nor do I want to install the latest VS.)
