MSVC has been shipping implementations of std::optional, std::any, and std::variant since the Visual Studio 2017 release, but we haven’t provided any guidelines on how and when these vocabulary types should be used. When null isn't vague enough?

That's nullptr.
(I use std::optional in a few places as a return value. Not a fan of passing it as a parameter. That may change. Or not. After all, it's optional.)

Humans have been doing this for years. People send messages like "I hate you" or "I dislike what you just said" by punching them in the face for years. This is science now?

Malware developers have started to use the zero-day exploit for Task Scheduler component in Windows, two days after proof-of-concept code for the vulnerability appeared online. Not much of a 'Zero Day' if it took two days to write an exploit

Last Thursday, NASA informed the public that there was an air pressure leak aboard the International Space Station. "Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage"

Why do I need NASA to tell me when someone passes a little gas on the space station? Everyone does it.

Similar to how Google Scholar works, Dataset Search lets you find datasets wherever they’re hosted, whether it’s a publisher's site, a digital library, or an author's personal web page. Now you can do SCIENCE!

We are so used to call Programming Languages “languages” that we don’t even stop for a second to think about the implications that are carried over (metapherein) when we liken them to natural languages. Analogies are not definitions

In a wide-ranging interview at Open Source Summit, Torvalds talked about programmers, Linux, and open-source development. Something we have in common
|
|

ZDNet article Torvalds added, "I don't worry about technical issues in kernel. I worry about them, but I'm not worried about them. The workflow is way more important than the code. If a bug happens, you know how to deal with it."
That's very interesting. That is a huge tech-details-geek saying that the code doesn't really matter, but it is the process that matters.
