I'd also recommend Kate Gregory's excellent polemic on the state of C++ in education: Stop Teaching C (You Tube)[^].
Should be mandatory for all college tutors - especially those in India which still seem to use Turbo C++ as their compiler.

Quote: Building competitive browser devtools (i.e. F12 Devtools) Having tried the developer tools in Firefox, Chrome and IE/Edge, the IE/Edge tools are by far the worst.
Quote: Ramping up extensions to be competitive with other browsers that offer rich extensions. So by some time later this year, Edge will finally have the ability to install browser extensions, similar to what other browsers have had for the last 10+ years. Of course, there won't be any extensions available when the feature ships, because nobody will have written them.

I guess I should be grateful.

Wow - that ZDNet headline is the worst assault on English grammar that has ever been undertaken.

We write to express our deep concerns about well-intentioned but ultimately unworkable policies around encryption that would weaken the very defenses we need to protect us from people who want to cause economic and physical harm. From our cold, dead hash salts...

Feinstein is an idiot. Even by political standards.

A year ago, Europe’s competition watchdog proclaimed that it was weighing whether to bring charges against Google for its business terms with Android, its mobile operating system. On Wednesday, it leveled those charges. By the economic agency that believes in free and open trade (as defined in EU 52005PC0125)

Yeah, I was trying for sarcasm there. I suppose I should have tried, "free" and "open".

For the second year running, Google has released its annual report on the state of Android security, and like last year, there are some arresting headline figures. So ignore all those reports of Android vulnerabilities, OK?

Occasionally, some customers will run into issues with deploying the .NET Framework or its updates that cannot be fixed from within the setup itself. For such cases, the .NET Framework Repair Tool can help with detecting and fixing some of the common causes of install failures. Because 'xcopy deployment' only works on stage

You’ve got to admire Google’s honesty. Right now, the company’s own safe browsing tool is flagging “google.com” as partially dangerous. It's a plot by the Bing team

A team of researchers has recorded the brain activity of 50 people wearing an electroencephalogram headset while they looked at a series of 500 images designed specifically to elicit unique responses from person to person, for instance, a slice of pizza, a boat, Anne Hathaway, the word 'conundrum.' They found that participants' brains reacted differently to each image, enough that a computer system was able to identify each volunteer's 'brainprint' with 100 percent accuracy. So you don't just think you're a unique snowflake, your thinking is a unique snowflake

How shocking!

A recent DZone post lamented how logging hours makes the author “die a little inside each time”. I used to feel the same way. Then I grew up and got over it. "Are you going to go ahead and have those TPS reports for us this afternoon?"
It seems somewhat appropriate to have these two next to one another
