Mozilla-created programming language Rust could one day help Microsoft kill a large chunk of its worst security bugs. I think the news about "Windows Iron" explains their newfound interest in Rust

I'd rather take my chances with a straight-edge or two than hexavalent-chromium though.
That stuff gives cyanide pause for thought, it's so toxic. Chrome with the electrons taken out will seriously ruin your family tree. I'd play with a fox that had rabies after the edge but before the poison.

After May 2020 Update, the next real feature update will debut in the first half of next year and it will be codenamed Windows 10 21H1 or Iron (Fe). Fingers crossed for new icons!

Asking bing (look below)...
Will this time work good?
At least the chances are 50% to be "yes"

Quote: Unlike the current Start menu, the new layout offers a more unified background colour in both dark and light modes and app colour does not dominate the background colour. Making it harder to distinguish between your apps is a good thing in who's demented mind? Whoever is in charge has lost the big picture. Thank God for Start10.

In 1992, I was asked to write a history of what I actually did by the ACM for their second “History Of Programming Languages” conference. A need to stay classy?

The primary thought process is to first stop thinking in terms of linear imperative programming. If you can free your mind from that, you begin to realize that the world is very object oriented. A cell converts CO2 to O2. A leaf is composed of cells. A tree has branches with leaves and roots. Roots pull in nutrition and water from the soil. The leaves fall and decay around the tree, adding nutrition back to the soil. A tree grows, is cut down, turned into firewood or planks to build a house. Etc.etc.etc.
The point being, you look at nature and you see processes that are contained within other processes, and processes that interact with other processes, and suddenly processes become the key thing, and the data is just ancillary to what the processes "transform." In fact, the data is what triggers the process, not the other way around.
Sometimes it helps not do have a college degree.

Don't tell a meetooer that you look upon her as an "object"!

The one weakness of OOP is that the objects do not behave independently, as they do in real life. A "new Object()" really should start a new thread running asynchronously with the caller. You can of course simulate that, but traditional OOP doesn't invite to it.
With the APL "workspace" concepts, you are like in a playpen: You can throw in a function now, a data structure then (since this is APL, "data structure" is an array, from 0 to n dimensions). And you can take out a function without affecting the others (except that they won't find the removed function when they need it). If you could start a function to run asynchronously, your idea of independent objects cooperating in a world-like playpen would have been much closer to reality. At least classical APL doesn't have that option.
I never programmed Smalltalk, but I have heard claimed that they provide both a workspace and objects executing asynchronously. But then again, I haven't heard anything about Smalltalk for umpteen years, so I consider it a dead language, even more so than APL.

Could a blurry, 128×128 version of a 1980 arcade game change the future of game dev? And then they came for the ghosts, but I did nothing as the power pellet wasn't close

The yes/no summary uses natural-language modeling and comes with a carousel of sources. 'Should I do this search in Google instead?'

Google software engineers are looking into ways of eliminating memory management-related bugs from Chrome. Maybe try to use less then?

these are the bug that they should have fixed in the first place lol
