Low-cost virtual reality (VR) platform Google Cardboard is now available as an open source project to let developers create new VR-powered apps and adapt existing ones to new devices. Opening up the source is the new "cancelled"

I don't think so... they will wait until it gets more extended and then cancel it

Nah! Open sourcing it is so that people start relying on it.
Only when there's a critical mass of dependent projects based around it will they cancel the thing!
As yet, there's not enough people using this to make it worth the effort to cancel.

This post will walk through some of the core inference techniques within an optimizing compiler: how to model a program in a way that is easy to work with, infer facts about your program, and using those facts to make your program smaller and faster. It looks like you're trying to write inefficient code, would you like help with that?

How can an organization with multiple teams and projects, with deeply rooted existing processes, and with considerable legacy software change its ways and embrace DevOps? By skipping over the QA steps?

The Microsoft Defender ATP Research Team says that the BlueKeep attacks detected on November 2 are connected with a coin mining campaign from September that used the same command-and-control (C2) infrastructure. And while you're patching, maybe upgrade to Windows 10?

When you talk about politics, would you say the same thing to a coworker's face as you would on Twitter? "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. "
-- Socrates, apparently
Because complaining about young people never goes out of style.

Ignite 2019: Microsoft details its efforts to level the playing field against cyber attackers. Because Linux never gets any viruses?

With the old market share was not that attractive, so attacking it was not that worthy.
Windows 10 has changed that (the market share of Linux), so I expect to see an exponential increase in the attacks that Linux is going to suffer.

ATTACK HAPPENED ON SATURDAY
SmarterASP.NET, an ASP.NET hosting provider with more than 440,000 customers, was hit yesterday by ransomware.
The company is the third major web hosting firm this year that went down because hackers breached their network and encrypted data on customer servers.
At the time of writing, SmarterASP.NET said it's working to restore customers' servers. It is unclear if the company paid the ransom demand, or is restoring from backups.
SmarterASP.NET is the third hosting provider that was hit this year. The first was A2 Hosting in May. A2, a well-known provider of Windows Servers, had servers in Asia and North America encrypted by a version of the GlobeImposter 2.0 ransomware strain.
The second web hosting provider hit this year was iNSYNQ, a cloud computing provider of virtual desktop environments. The company was infected in mid-July by a version of the MegaCortex ransomware.

If you're always scoring 100%, you're probably not learning anything new. Research found that the 'sweet spot' for learning is 85%. And here I thought it was when you fail 85% of the time
Pareto was so close...

Sweet. Now just a way to predict failure so we can optimize to reach 85%.

There's failing, and, then, there's flailing.
When I am focused and on track towards a generalized solution, and fail ... perhaps a vitamin.
When I am gnashing my teeth figuring out some weird quirk in a WinForm Control, or searching incomprehensible, disorganized, incomplete, erroneous, MSDN docs for a work-around for some Win issue: I am flailing, and it has no future value.
To use an agricultural metaphor: learning occurs in a (potentially) fertile context. However, there are times when getting your ego totally crushed because you realize your arrogance or assumptions caused you to waste a lot of intellectual capital on a dead-end ... has a salubriously sobering value

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?
