Стареют ли в ИТ, бывали ли в 2007-м году уже разработчики возрастом 60-70 лет.

Оригинал нормального видео в районе 2008 года был на Channel9 Russian, но это уже очень сложно найти. потому такая вот археология.

То что рисует на доске никакого сакрального смысла не несёт, скорее способ успокоиться и сосредоточиться для него самого.

Не могу подтвердить стоял ли Элдар за #msxml 5-й и 6-й версий.

Однако, вещь неплохая, использовал в нескольких проектах как DOM парсер и XSLT преобразователь XML-конфигов с одной версии (схемы) в другую. Начиная с 2005 по 2011 год что ли.
По умолчанию msxml присутствовал во всех #Windows и доступный как ScriptingHost (JScript/VBScript), так и через COM & IDispatch напрямую из C++ кода, когда через IDL-нотацию .h/.cpp файлы генерируются.

В качестве же SAX-парсера больше подошёл #xerces из-за желания встраивать в софт (статическая линковка) — https://xerces.apache.org/index.html

Wings 46(1): Fall 2023 (Moths) | Xerces Society

Moths are all around us. They share our natural areas and gardens, and sometimes they share our food crops, and even our clothes. Love them or despise them, moths play profoundly important roles in our environment—as pollinators; as food for songbirds, bats, and other wildlife; as part of the clean-up crew that recycles organic waste; and more—and they deserve our conservation attention.

New Legislation Would Establish USDA Label for Pollinator-Safe Plants | Xerces Society

Oregon’s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley announced new legislation that would create a pollinator-friendly plant labeling program, modeled after the Organic Foods Production Act that created organic labeling. The legislation follows research findings by the Xerces Society and University of Nevada, Reno that documented dangerous pesticide levels in pollinator plants at U.S. nurseries.

Native bees don't need to be "managed" as directly as honeybees. They just need to be encouraged and supported with forage, nesting sites, and gardening/agricultural practices.

Xerces has done a lot of research in this area, and has information for both gardeners and farmers.

Farming for Bees | Xerces Society

Farming for Bees outlines ways to protect and enhance habitat for native crop pollinators in the farm landscape. Containing a wealth of information about common groups of native bees, their habitat requirements, and conservation strategies to increase their numbers on farms.

An icon of anthropogenic extinction: Xerces Blue butterfly genome sequenced

The Xerces Blue butterfly (Glaucopsyche xerces) was native to the coastal dunes of San Francisco, in the United States. As the city grew, much of the butterfly's habitat was destroyed and its population was relegated to Golden Gate National Park. Its wings were a deep iridescent blue, with characteristic white spots on the ventral side.

Phys.org

"The study, led by researchers from the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE, CSIC-UPF), and the Museum of Natural Sciences in Barcelona, has succeeded in sequencing the complete genome of the Xerces Blue butterfly, the first butterfly to become extinct"

Xerces Blue butterfly genome sequenced, an icon of anthropogenic extinction

The Xerces Blue butterfly (Glaucopsyche xerces) was native to the coastal dunes of San Francisco, in the United States. As the city grew, much of the butterfly’s habitat was destroyed and its population was relegated to Golden Gate National Park. Its wings were a deep iridescent blue, with characteristic white spots on the ventral side. The last surviving specimens of the species were found in 1941, by entomologist W. Harry Lange. It is considered the first insect species to have become extinct in historical times. Its disappearance has made it a global icon of anthropogenic extinction, to the extent that it has given its name to a famous American conservation association, the Xerces Society.

1/ It's Pollinator Week, and time for the topical memes I created. But before we get into that, I want to share this excellent publication released just last week by the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation ("Xerces)":

Why Getting a Hive Won't "Save the Bees"
