And people willingly subject themselves to this? I guess anything to advance one's career opportunities. With stuff like this, I can only imagine how un-human the world will be in 100 years, probably unrecognizable in 500 years. William Gibson[^] couldn't even come close to this dystopia.

Microsoft last week announced that it would support the Enterprise Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) through July 2018, a year-and-a-half extension for the anti-exploit utility. It's almost like people aren't rushing to Windows 10 or something

VB is like mosquitos, you might not see them, but when you relax and think you are safe... plof, a new bite in your XXX starts itching like hell.

The results of NASA's tests on the 'impossible' EM Drive have been leaked, and they reveal that the controversial propulsion system really does work, and is capable of generating impressive thrust in a vacuum, even after error measurements have been accounted for.

This means we need to update our "understanding" of physics. It could be the key to everything.

C++17 gives us std::variant<> which allows for a new form of stack-based runtime polymorphism. C++ is now stealing language ideas from VB6?

C++ is losing it's C++ness. Instead of a handful of powerful tools kept together by the strong minds of developers it's becoming a jungle of semi-useful scraps kept together by the fact that it has a good history.

Easy solution: simply don't use the new features. Then, it's just the same as the old c++

Yes, of course some features are pretty nice though. When I will be able to switch from VS6 (yes, the 1998 one), and to do so I would have to rewrite a custom addin plus the brain of my boss, I will discover a whole new world of functionality. Including a functional STL...

That's what I said in 2010 when C++11 (C++0x at the time) was hitting the big time. Three years later, I was working on a project which suddenly had to be compiled in VS 2008 and 2010. I was quite surprised at how much C++11 I'd adopted. Interestingly, the same thing happened with C++14 and C++1z (C++17), though in the latter two, finding workarounds proved a whole lot more painful (constexpr, type_traits, range based loops and static_assert are so useful, not to mention lambdas, thread, filesystem and even auto [makes dealing with iterators so much easier].)
