Any source for the statement on RSI? I googled but just found anecdotes.

That would depend on what CDN you use and how it works. If the CDN is just a caching CDN in front of your own site then the CDN typically won't be any more secure than your own sit…

One can hope. Blob and table storage still have no form of backup ~8 years after introduction. When I've asked they have been referring to replication and to call them if we accide…

It's a security patch in the sense that the only way to get the security patches is to install the new version. But thanks for the info. That seems like a pretty bad practice when …

I can compile the previous versions. I've used the same script for several years, and its not until this version today I have an issue. When seeing the issue, I actually tried comp…

I'm unable to compile this on Win32 (I don't have any problems compiling older versions). I don't understand how the code could compile for anyone, maybe it's a platform specific i…
