In fact most of the code I wrote for Visualising the .NET Garbage Collector[^] can now be replaced by the GLAD library, pity it wasn't available at the time (although I guess I wouldn't have learnt as much)!

AT&T plans to start testing next year a new technology it says can deliver multiple gigabit-per-second internet by sending signals wirelessly along the path of power lines. We could call it "wired wireless"

Computer scientists can prove certain programs to be error-free with the same certainty that mathematicians prove theorems. The advances are being used to secure everything from unmanned drones to the internet. Colour me skeptical

It's Swift code isn't it?
let x = 5;
x is constant now.
It's Steve Jobs' unhackable language.
Other uneducated developers may have tried:
var x = 5;

I prefer:
constexpr int x = 5;
|

void main() { }

You send me that code compiled as an exe, and I'll send you back something rather more interesting and considerably more malevolent.
That example is about the least unhackable I can think of as a program, actually.

Wow that was a lot of bullshit to plow through. Then came the part where what they actually did is not what the headline claims they did (blame the journalists here, not the engineers/scientists.)
