Who cares if it's old news. It's important nonetheless. Damn news addicts. :)

you know what makes the news overwhelming to digest? choosing to drink from the mouth of the firehose, and depending on repeating stories to see them, instead of a clean historical record to pour over.

there would be a lot less news if people went back and read what they missed, instead of waiting for it to get brought up again.

Old to you, new to me... I'm one of the 10,000

Something from 1 month ago isn't "old" in the HN context. Heck we often discuss stuff years after it happened.

It's new news that they are now removing it.

But even while they changed their minds, with a display of lack of judgment like this, who will trust their compilers anymore?

> who will trust their compilers anymore?

Me.

Microsoft has some real issues with regards to privacy, security, and performance. An ETW event on main entry/exit is none of the above.

It's worth yanking from Microsoft's POV because "Telemetry" is a big bad scary word, but from my POV it's a pointless distraction from actual privacy, security, and performance concerns.

C'est la vie...

No, it's also old news that they're removing it, considering they announced that a whole three days after people started complaining.

>new news

The linked comment was posted 29 days ago. That's not really new but then again some people might not be aware of it or the whole thing.
