You can write the best code in the world, but if you use vulnerable libraries and frameworks, you're introducing serious security problems to your application Yeah, it's not my code, it's that component

The German computer magazine c't found a not so far announced enhancement coming with the creators update.
While prior versions allowed access only to the first partition of removable media like USB sticks, now all partitions are accessible and multiple partitions can be created.
But there is an annyoing site effect:
For each partition formatted with a file systems not supported by Windows, a dialog will pop up asking if the partition should be formatted. This dialog has to be cancelled which in turn triggers a confirmation dialog.

It's new for removeable media that are not "Windows to go" certified. It's not new for media that announce themself as fixed drives. But neither applies to most USB sticks.

Yah, I remember now, you can create the partition, but you can't assign a drive letter or otherwise access the partition.
Nice that it is fixed...

And when you close the confirmation dialog, it installs windows 10 on the partition.

"On the Turing Completeness of PowerPoint" is five minutes long, and unequivocally a work of genius. [^]
Absolutely brilliant! Probably someone in the Pentagon is already proposing this as a new standard for missile control...

Still better than Visual "On Error Resume Next" Basic 6. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

Physicists at the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter at Caltech have discovered the first three-dimensional quantum liquid crystal—a new state of matter that may have applications in ultrafast quantum computers of the future. Can you spell things with them by viewing them upside-down?

I'm holding out for Quantum Coffee. It doesn't just put hair on your chest; it shifts your entire Universe! 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Unit tests, basically a smart idea.
But how does it look in praxis? I mean apart from the simple examples in all these tutorials where one tests whether a Sum function works for "1+1"?
The tutoririal's examples will of course work also for a much more complex thing like matrix inversion and what else.
But are this "more or less static" things really the problem?
In my opinion no! The dynamic/asynch/interaction things are the problem and until now not really considered to test them seriously by unit tests.
All this what I'm missing can be probably also a leak of my knowledge.
I'm happy to read contrary against my expirience/knowledge.

The VS C++ testing framework is really only useful for very, very, very....very simple unit/integration testing. Forget about stubs and/or mocks (which is where mature test frameworks really shine) unless you are prepared to hand crank them - a slow, tedious and error prone process. The VS C++ testing framework is something you would only use when there is literally no alternative other than manually writing all of your tests.

If you're interested in a good introduction to testing then see, "The Art of Unit Testing" by Roy Osherove, 2014. Note you will not be able to perform much of what is discussed in the book using the VS C++ testing framework, that is, unless you hand crank everything (but that defeats the purpose of using a good test framework in the first place).
Cheers,
Ian

I found it to be much better than you state. At one place we used gmock (which I don't particular like, but it worked for where it was needed.)
That aside, what native C++ test frameworks do you recommend?
