COBOL Colleague uses symbolic machine learning and static analysis to help developers understand and maintain COBOL source code. The same technology could be applied to other programming languages. If it's good enough for COBOL...

Considering who are the biggest clients of COBOL, I wonder when is going to come the first "ooops" and how big are the letters going to be...

C++23 now allows multi-argument subscript operators, and that effectively gives us an alternative syntax for calling functions. Because you were getting too comfortable with the old way

Users will be required to give information about their medical history, smoking status and demographics and record some respiratory sounds, such as coughing and reading a short sentence. Is it the coughing, or the wheezing?

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?

Not even the doctor has my full medical history; for some things, I visit Germany, and those files aren't visible to medical specialists in the Netherlands. Why would I grant access to some weird company that is more likely than not to leak my records?
Smoking status, that's no problem; I find it easy to smoke, even during working hours.
They claim: Wafaa Aljbawi, a researcher at the Institute of Data Science at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, said: "These promising results suggest that simple voice recordings and fine-tuned AI algorithms can potentially achieve high precision "Potential high precision", wait, what? I have a potential bridge to sell to you, for a potential high revenue - potentially worth a million dollars!
Science says to measure. You can figure out the precision, and actually check how often it was flu instead and thus, why your app is making it worse for healthcare professionals instead of easing their burden. You can also check if that investment is worthwhile, by measuring results for the amount of money spent.

The loss of corporate knowledge when employees leave their company is an issue at most organizations, so IT leaders need to prioritize knowledge management strategies. You mean workers ARE valuable?

No one likes UI changes. But the more features that get added, the more likely it is that some UI changes will make sense. Otherwise things will get out of hand, especially for new users. It's unnecessary changes that are annoying. But if you can do a search, it's usually easy to find the answer to how to do something. This guy is a bit of a whiner, much like those who complain about breaking changes that don't require significant rework but keep the surface-to-volume ratio of interfaces low.

We were taught in school that UI changes requires money to retrain users, or at least money lost due to users being temporarily less effective while getting used to the new UI. We aimed at not changing the interface that was proven to work. MS did the opposite; it changed the UI for marketing reasons, to be able to show it off as new and innovative. Oh, how innovative the beveled WinForm UI was - and then Marketing decided they should be flat
UI design is not important, case closed. Your UI may be ugly and uncomfortable, no one cares.
