Microsoft’s source code for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 has leaked online. Try not to run away screaming if you look
|

Of special note in the code were the repeated comments, "This would work if we had new icons."

Oh come on. MS's cult of the Icon didn't occur until a few years ago when they let their graphics designers out of a cage in the basement and allowed them to write blog posts on MSDN. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Amazon's smart home security division Ring has unveiled a flying camera that launches if sensors detect a potential home break-in. One phased plasma rifle short of a terminator
I guess that's on the "people who bought this also bought..." list.

A non-lethal, and perhaps even legal alternative would be a drop net. If the drone had a high-enough lifting capability, it could deposit the trespasser directly at the local police station.

This article focuses on the part of the GCC compiler on which I spend most of my time: The C++ front end. This one goes to 20
|
|
|
|
|
It's all interesting, but in practice the latest C++ version I was ever able to use in practice was C++14 - and that only on one small project. Most times I am lucky if I can use C++11.
|
|
|
|
|
C++11 added lots of useful things. Since then, yawn. But maybe I'm not doing the sort of software that would benefit from it.

Survey shows dev team productivity has held up very well through the crisis. Credit the fact that many developers have been working remotely for decades. Crisis? What crisis?

Scientists from many fields are scratching their heads over a paper claiming a black hole in the center of the Earth is shaping our DNA. I was going to go with "why not both?", but nope. It's just crazy.
The title alone hurts my brain with loads of word salad, "A Black Hole at the Center of Earth Plays the Role of the Biggest System of Telecommunication for Connecting DNAs, Dark DNAs and Molecules of Water on 4+N- Dimensional Manifold”

Quote: One theory is that this “paper” is actually random phrases put together as an attempt to test the peer-review standards of journals that might be getting sloppy, something scientists do now and then. Evidence for this comes from the fact that the last author, Torello Lotti, has previously published about the problem of predatory journals.

But if you can't trust the Macedonian Journal of Medical Science (or The Lancet, but that's a different set of stories), whom can you trust?

Critics doubt that Emotiv's earphone-style sensors can reliably track things like stress and attention—and some worry the technology will become yet another form of workplace surveillance. Why is everyone flatlining now? Oh, right. Team meeting.
