From the article: A Factory that is Abstract which implements a createProductA method that uses new to <<construct>> a ProductA1 that has a ProductA <<interface>> .That is 10 words and concepts alone, which is more than the smartest brains are happy to handle.
Did 1st April come around again without me noticing?

To have any value at all that article would have to actually explain what its author considered as a good replacement for the abstract![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ary anti-pattern instead of just semi-coherently ranting about how it's overly complicated and sucks. 
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 whole Miller 7 +/- 2 thing is interesting.
Let's assume that the average person has 7 channels, one of which is semi-permanently occupied with food and another which is permanently populated by sex. That leaves 5.
Of those five, at least one will be occupied, in an office that will be with thoughts of "Bloody hell! Does he/she not realise that telephones were invented so you don't have to shout?" If you're working at home, it's more likely to be "What is that bloody cat up to now?" So we're left with 4 at best, maybe just 2 or 3.
Those will probably be tied up with less pressing but nonetheless important things like what your favourite sports team is doing wrong, wondering what's on at the movies and deciding what to listen to later on. That kind of leaves us with zero capacity.
Yet somehow we still manage to write code, fix bugs, win arguments with databases and generally triumph over technology.
Are programmers actually superhuman, I wonder? The rest of the world might not see it that way, but Miller's Law really does suggest that we are!

Users in the US have questionable habits when it comes to creating passwords, according to a new study. I'm better than that. I use P@ssword1 everywhere!

In a small house nestled among the oak trees here, a four-hour drive west of the Black Hat and DefCon cybersecurity and hacker conferences taking place in Las Vegas and high enough into the hills above town that Google Maps can’t accurately find it, biohackers took one small but important step toward the science fiction dystopia depicted in William Gibson’s Johnny Mnemonic. The Internet of Don't Try This At Home (IoDTTaH)
I mean - how is he going to update when a new Raspberry Pi board comes out? Or they need more storage? Even Johnny Mnemonic could carry 80GB.

It looks like an Apple lightning cable. It works like an Apple lightning cable. But it will give an attacker a way to remotely tap into your computer. Beware of hackers bearing cables
Or just beware of Apple cables in general. At least they change the required cables often, so you get to always stay up-to-date.

They're slightly more expensive than the Apple ones, so all the fanbois will want them.

Researchers analyzing the security of legitimate device drivers found that more than 40 drivers from at least 20 hardware vendors contain vulnerabilities that can be abused to achieve privilege escalation. There are only 40 drivers in Windows 10?
Yeah, kind of a "dog bites man" story
|
|
|
|
|
Side note: Does anyone actually uninstall drivers that are no longer in use?
I know I don't. Maybe a garbage-collector routine would be useful, getting rid of drivers that haven't been used for n seconds -- reinstalling drivers for kit you start re-using isn't exactly a major task.

The White House Readies Draft of Executive Order That Could Break the Internet[^]
OK, I'll grant that the article does seem to be from a particular political point of view (whether I agree with that PoV or not is irrelevant, given that "journalist" is one of the strings for my bow), but, when you dig deeper, the source of the amendment does appear to be saying "No bias unless it's bias I agree with!".
And yes, that would break (the whole point of) the Internet, given that it would set a precedent for every other country to enact the same kind of "amendment".

I disagree (but also disagree with using an executive order.)
Strictly speaking, if you curate otherwise legal content, you become a publisher and therefore become liable for that content. I think a reasonable compromise is that a site could delete content not germane to its purpose as long as it does so in a consistent manner.
The claim, however, that there is no evidence censorship is happening is laughable and easily disproved.
