Microsoft reported a battle with North Korean-sponsored hackers who attacked security researchers with a most innovative technique: compromised Visual Studio projects.  

چندی قبل مطلبی را در این سایت در مورد معرفی الگویی که توسط آن می‌توان اعمال غیر همزمان را به صورت پی در پی انجام داد، مطالعه کردید:

• انجام پی در پی اعمال Async به کمک Iterators - قسمت اول

• انجام پی در پی اعمال Async به کمک Iterators - قسمت دوم

و بحث اصلی مطالب فوق هم این است:
"در برنامه نویسی متداول همیشه عادت داریم که اعمال به صورت A –> B –> C انجام شوند. اما در Async programming ممکن است ابتدا C انجام شود، سپس A و بعد B یا هر حالت دیگری صرفنظر از تقدم و تاخر آن‌ها در حین معرفی متدهای مرتبط در یک قطعه کد. همچنین میزان خوانایی این نوع کدنویسی نیز مطلوب نیست...."

خبر خوش آن است که پشتیبانی از این نوع مدل پی در پی برنامه نویسی در نگارش‌های بعدی سی شارپ و VB.NET اضافه شده است.

In these “platform” comparisons that’s:
- x1.78 faster than ngnix
- x2.93 faster than Java’s Servlet (x7.76 faster than Servlet on Tomcat)
- x7.36 faster than Golang’s “net/http” package
- x8.06 faster than node.js running as a cluster of 28 processes (as node.js is single threaded)
