I wonder how long it takes the hackers to break that?
Will it be measured in hours or days?

There is something known as Internet, which Windows would always complain about when hacker would try to break in... Now.
Anyways, I guess it would take hours for hacker to do something about it, and days for it to come out on internet. Because Microsoft plays very hard to minimize the search results for anything that is bad for their business. They always did so.

If you’re in a panic because the Internet told you that your shiny new SSD may lose data in “just a few days” when stored in a hot room, take a chill pill—it’s apparently all a huge misunderstanding, according to the man who wrote the original presentation all the fear is based on. Oh good. Now I can go back to storing them in the oven.

Bill Gates — Microsoft CEO turned philanthropist, lifelong learner and fan of The Great Courses — is recommending seven texts you should read this summer. "I read my eyes out and can't read half enough"

He has billions of dollars, he can spend his time reading these 7 books.
We have to work hard to make sure we survive this summer.  He can simply release Windows 10 and make his fortune for next 3 summers also.

Visual Studio 2015 RC contains a pair of experimental operators, nicknamed tadpole operators. They let you add and subtract one from an integer value without needing parentheses. Because there are still keys that need using in C++

Quick, which one is --y and which one is (y+1) ???
-~y
--y
[edit]Nice font, CP. It's a lot clearer in a code block.  [/edit]
On my monitor at the distance of about 3 feet and with my eyes I can barely tell the difference.
Even if I look close, it's pretty darn easy to miss.
Tadpole swimming toward a value makes it bigger
And WTF is that? I mean, could you at least have done:
-~ and +~ so I don't need to figure out which freaking direction the tadpole is swimming?
Hey Microsoft, which direction is this tadpole swimming: FAIL
From one of the comments:
Because all the major JavaScript engines are written in C++, JavaScript has also inherited the tadpole operators from the underlying C++ implementation.
Figures.

Are you too already using grandparent font?

You realize this is a joke, right?
This is just a combination of the ~ (not operator) and negation which already exist in any language that supports those operators.
for an explanation, read this[^] comment

Excuse me! It may (very unlikely, but may) have a usage, but all those samples in the article are wrong...You already can
write it without any parentheses using ++ and --!!!
Like:
x = ++y % 10;
or
x = ++y * --z;
And so on...And it even can be read!!!

The operators ++ and -- modify the value of the variable while those experimental operators should just provide an alternative to (x+1) resp. (x-1)

Of course, but I'm talking about the samples, where it is meaningless (you use the variables once) - so the samples are not showing the power (if any) of the new operators...

Oh, I see - sorry 
But to be fair to the author, there's a slightly more meaningful example at the bottom.

Hahahaha...
I made a second read (including comments) and realized that there is no new operators here, but some kind of joke...
The author uses the a combination of bitwise NOT(~) and simple -! The only problem that it work only for signed integers...
But for those it works even with compilers from 1993...

OK, probably a joke, but it's staying in. It's an excellent example of just how magical and symbol heavy C++ syntax is.

I agree. I didn't want you to take it down, just blame you for irritating us  
BTW, works in C# too.

Actually every C/C++ compiler can do it!
(The article is a joke! It uses bitwise NOT (~) and minus (-) combined in a clever way, but it only works for signed integers...)

Yep, even Raymond made it clear in today's post[^]. Still impressive how easy it is for people to believe something is real just because it comes from a "reliable source". But I hope you don't buy everything that's written in the news... do you?
