System fixes bugs by importing functionality from other programs — without access to source code.
Source code? Where we're going, we don't need source code...

If it makes you feel any better I liked your one line summation better.

In that case, I'm ... "borrowing" it.

At the Association for Computing Machinery's Programming Language Design and Implementation conference this month, MIT researchers presented a new system that repairs dangerous software bugs by automatically importing functionality from other, more secure applications. "You will be assimilated"

Don't let Watson get hold of this functionality. We'll all be doomed.

Microsoft announced today on Somasegar's blog that Visual Studio 2015 will be available for download on July 20th. Just in time for your Apollo 11 celebrations
Assuming it wasn't a hoax[^].

Wow, so much celebration ahead. First Apollo/VS2015, and nine days later Win10/my birthday.  But, in case of Apollo, it's nothing special - 2019 is the big birthday.

As we all know how overjoyed Kent was last week with the release of Atom 1.0, I thought I'd spare him distress by supplying the link to a test drive of Adobe's new/upcoming Text Editor. Because there can never be too many text editors.

Wow. The help menu was so impressive.
And those developer tools, they were amazing, so...transparent...I would love invisible developer tools!
I think I'll write me an editor too!

Windows 10 introduces something new and highly unpleasant for its millions of consumers: the complete loss of control. "Can't, won't, don't stop"
|

Relax, let the OS be released. Then we will give them a taste of their own medicine.

AFAIK they forgot to mention the long-term servicing branch that will be good for years (and not just four months) without forced feature updates, just like it worked before when they released a new version of Windows every few years.
EDIT: Okay, there is a second page of the article that mentioned it (why do they have to split that up? Hunting for clicks?)
|
|
|
|
|
I think because the article was more focused on the Home edition. It doesn't have the LTS branch available, does it? (I never pay attention to these things - I know I'll have to upgrade pretty much first day of availability to either Ent or Pro)

Nope, it's only available to users running the Enterprise Edition via Software Assurance, which is really sad. I'd like to see it for Pro individual users too.

Stupid. The same sort of egotistical bullshit that made Windows 8 fail. Where do they come up with this crap.

"In the beginning, Watson’s knowledge base was limited to trivia for “Jeopardy!” But since its debut on national television in February 2011, Watson has devoured many thousands of literary works, newspaper articles and scientific journal reports as well as information input by hundreds of researchers and doctors nationwide. These experts have helped the machine brain make more reasonable inferences and conclusions by reviewing Watson’s ideas and telling it whether it is right or wrong and by highlighting which sources of information are considered more reliable than others.
Unlike a human brain that can be distracted, confused or inspired by huge volumes of information, Watson is not a creative thinker but a rational one. It looks at known associations among various bits of data and calculates the probability that one provides a better answer to a question than another and presents the top ideas to the user.
Rob Merkel, who leads IBM Watson’s health group, said the company estimates that a single person will generate 1 million gigabytes of health-related data across his or her lifetime. That’s as much data as in 300 million books."

I hope they didn't infect it with Fox "News".

You meant "Faux News", right?

Absolutely!
The sad part is that they have the largest viewership of any news program. This makes me weep for the future.

If CNN and NBC weren't so biased to the left - Fox News probably never would have even existed.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.
