What will video games be like when they can truly harness the power of AI? If the machine learning-powered text adventure AI Dungeon 2 is anything to go by, they’ll be open-ended, ludicrously silly, and bags of fun to play. And then they came for the DMs, and I did nothing because I couldn't find my dice bag

Microsoft says that Windows 10 1909 feature updates will start automatically installing on Windows 10 1809 devices beginning today to smooth out the update process to a more recent Windows 10 version. Doesn't everyone enjoy a nice forced upgrade now and again?

The FBI also recommends changing factory-set (default) passwords and not allowing an IoT device's accompanying mobile app to gain access to too many smartphone permissions. Maybe even store them off-site. And don't power them.

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 World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recently announced that the WebAssembly Core Specification is now an official web standard. Following HTML, CSS and JavaScript, WebAssembly thus becomes officially the fourth language to run natively in browsers. Coming soon: a brand new collection of malware to guard against

Did they do this because there is someone in the world who is actually crazy enough to want to work with WebAssembly, or as a paid advertisement?

Unity compiled to WASM is the replacement for Flash for in browser games.
It's no worse an idea than writing a game in flash was.

Well, I think if you combine HTML+CSS you get a turing complete, but independently I am not sure. Anyhow, if your you got javascript on hand and still using HTML+CSS as programming languages, you might be doing something wrong.

Microsoft developers keep plugging away at the "huge technical challenge" of duplicating the Windows Forms designer found in the aging, Windows-only .NET Framework in .NET Core, the new open-source, cross-platform default approach for .NET coding. If only there was some code lying around they could use
I'm assuming they are, so that's why I don't see how it's a 'huge technical challenge'

WinForms is not "Windows-only", it runs without any complaints under Linux, and probably every device that Mono supports. And "aging" here means "well tested and proven, under fire", instead of the experimental UI's MS is pushing these days and abandoning twice as fast.
