When you see an article about new C++ features, most of the time you’ll see a description of major elements. But how about those smaller parts? "Great things are done by a series of small things brought together."

Microsoft is continuing its campaign to force Office users on a subscription plan by killing off its discounted Home Use program. If only there were an alternative
Perhaps one that is free, complimentary, liberating?

Insecure CTF protocol allows hackers to hijack any Windows app, escape sandboxes, get admin rights. There's a protocol for Capture the Flag?
Oh. My. "It turns out it was possible to reach across sessions and violate NT security boundaries for nearly twenty years, and nobody noticed." (from the "researcher's" blog, linked in this article)

Nobody said anything doesn't necessarily mean nobody noticed
And if nobody noticed, why to make it public now?

Automattic reportedly bought Tumblr for less than $3 million, a stunning drop in value from the $1.1 billion Yahoo paid for it in 2013. "I'll tumble for ya"
That was a great investment. Looks like my retirement savings.

Neddie: Ah, my dear, do you remember the days when people could raise millions by spouting stupid ideas?
Nellie: Oh yes, my dear. And how stupid they realised they were when it all collapsed in on them, leaving them in debt up to their eyeballs.

Smart email systems that use artificial intelligence to predict what will type next can make it quicker to write messages to our friends, colleagues and family, but do we risk losing something in the process? Bec{swipe] typ{swipe} is diff{swipe}

Auntie said: it is very interesting to think about what happens, when, on one hand, prediction is performed for us not by our brain but by a computer algorithm, and how this repeated experience affects our interaction with the world
Um, sorry, but no, it's not even remotely interesting.
But it's the stuff for wasting the time of tiny brains, so there's that advantage to it.

There is an old, but very important paper in psychology called The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information. It measures the limits of the brain processing information, and puts a number to it: the human brain can jiggle 5 to 9 concepts simultaneously. Is that the rule that you have to forget the name of exactly one of Snow White's Dwarves?

From the article: A Factory that is Abstract which implements a createProductA method that uses new to <<construct>> a ProductA1 that has a ProductA <<interface>> .That is 10 words and concepts alone, which is more than the smartest brains are happy to handle.

To have any value at all that article would have to actually explain what its author considered as a good replacement for the abstract![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ary anti-pattern instead of just semi-coherently ranting about how it's overly complicated and sucks. 
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?

The whole Miller 7 +/- 2 thing is interesting.
Let's assume that the average person has 7 channels, one of which is semi-permanently occupied with food and another which is permanently populated by sex. That leaves 5.
Of those five, at least one will be occupied, in an office that will be with thoughts of "Bloody hell! Does he/she not realise that telephones were invented so you don't have to shout?" If you're working at home, it's more likely to be "What is that bloody cat up to now?" So we're left with 4 at best, maybe just 2 or 3.
Those will probably be tied up with less pressing but nonetheless important things like what your favourite sports team is doing wrong, wondering what's on at the movies and deciding what to listen to later on. That kind of leaves us with zero capacity.
Yet somehow we still manage to write code, fix bugs, win arguments with databases and generally triumph over technology.
Are programmers actually superhuman, I wonder? The rest of the world might not see it that way, but Miller's Law really does suggest that we are!
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. - Mark Twain
