The creator of C++ sees concepts in generic programming as key to more efficient, reliable code Coming soon: a generic program to replace all others
|

Can't wait for concepts to be fully fleshed out. My first time writing templates I was baffled that I was unable to tell the compiler that T must be a subclass of SomeClass.

Quote: Stroustrup recalls what he had had in mind: “I wanted three properties for templates: full generality/expressiveness, zero overhead compared to hand coding [and] well-specified interfaces.”
But no one could figure out how to get all three, so C++ ended up with Turing completeness and better-than-hand-coding performance but lousy interfaces -- basically compile-time duck typing, in which a function accepts any type that has the properties that the implementation happens to use, instead of checking types in interfaces. This situation can result in complicated code.
The article could be a bit clearer in places. Are Concepts achieving all 3 properties, or is it giving an alternative to templates similar to C#/Java generics: less powerful but much easier to use? The article implies the former; but never states it explicitly.

Concepts will be used in conjunction with templates. Think of them as Generic Constraints for templates. Here's an example of a concept usage:
template <class T, class U>
concept bool Derived = std::is_base_of<U, T>::value {
}

No surprise there...
Telerik's packages became large and complicated and slow over years... And I didn't talked about their code...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

as a result of reduced future growth expectations
So they're laying of 20% because of "expectations" of basically something that is a complete vapor-value, namely share value.
And yet:
Yogesh Gupta, CEO at Progress, said: "I am pleased with our earnings per share and adjusted free cash flow performance during the quarter despite revenue falling short of our goals. Initiatives undertaken during the quarter to manage our expenses allowed us to reach this outcome. I am excited by the opportunities we have in front of us, and look forward to what we can accomplish in 2017 and beyond."
Yeah, except for 450 people.
Funny, where I live, Yogesh is a gastroenterologist. Puns omitted.

I thought Telerik was the super-star, well-run, profitable component vendor in an industry full of declining failures struggling to stay alive. If they're losing, then who's winning?

The MD and the shareholders, who will get bonuses totalling 270% of the salaries of the 450 people laid off.

Hmmm... is this the same Progress that used to offer a 4GL database back in the day?

BleepingComputer [^]Ultrasounds emitted by ads or JavaScript code hidden on a page accessed through the Tor Browser can deanonymize Tor users by making nearby phones or computers send identity beacons back to advertisers... Advertising - 'Up to eleven!'

If the Tor user has his phone somewhere nearby and if certain types of apps are on his phone, then...
Lots of assumptions conveniently hidden away in the click-bait lead article.
Not to mention that if someone using TOR is also likely going to be using passive safety like a custom hosts file that blocks away most ads, and would have further reinforced it with things like NoScript, uBlock Origin, etc.

Not to justify them too much, but at least they used 'Could' in the title! To me, it was more interesting that advertising can be used that way.

I thought stuff like no-script was enabled by default in torbrowser because of various other forms of elephantary already...

You're correct, tor browser does have noscript enabled by default.
One could use Tor with any browser though, so long tor is running and the proxy details are set correctly.

You could; but you'd be leaking your identity is dozens of other ways even without this audio based evilness.
ie addons installed, fonts, screen/window size, etc, etc, etc

This was never about tor browser (or any other browser).
As I pointed out, someone using TOR and configuring their browsers and other programs to proxy traffic through it will be advanced enough to ensure their privacy.

Anyone who is using a conventional browser over TOR has by doing so declared themselves a master of cargo-cult security only and incapable of using TOR safely because your standard browser hemorrhages bits of identity information that can be used to ID you from one site to the next.

OK, I'm going to try one last time.
You're saying that the only safe way to use TOR (according to you) is to use it with Tor browser.
But tor browser is basically firefox with a few bells and whistles (noscript, httpseverywhere, etc). that are privacy/security addons that could easily be added to stock standard firefox. Similar privacy addons exist for nearly every other browser.
And as I've stated two or three times or some such, someone using TOR is also likely to be disabling unwanted plugins/addons, etc. while using tor to prevent the transmission of any personally identifiable information. Note that tor browser doesn't magically protect you if you disable the security features that come along with it.
