With C++11 we got the possibility to define our own suffixes. They can be applied to integer, floating point, character and string literals of any flavor. Literally the best new feature
Yet another way that you can make your C++ code look like "not C++" code.

One of those features that is great when done right, but can be super confusing if not. I added custom suffixes in some recent code and then took them out when I found myself repeatedly looking at the header to remind myself what they were (they can be comparable to excessive abbreviations.)
For time, though, they are awesome: 1s or 100ms.

Yeah, I was thinking of saying, "Please read the 'A word of caution' five times first" with this one. I see it being useful in some cases, but hella-confusing in most (like his string example at the bottom of the article).

That string example looks just fine to me, but relies on a couple of other features introduced. Compared to the alternative it replaces (listed above), it offers a damn sight more expressiveness without runtime cost - exactly what I expect from new C++ features.

Researchers Martin Abadi and David Andersen demonstrated that neural networks can devise a simple encryption technique using machine learning. Oh great. Now SkyNet can talk about us behind our backs.
Or in front, as it's encrypted.

Yes, but can they invent their own decryption?

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a system that teaches people Morse code within four hours using a series of vibrations felt near the ear. So you'll be ready when the pony express shuts down

That was a timely bit of research then.

Sounds a bit overwrought.

Well, there goes security...
I'd rather be phishing!

That was my thought - if you can persuade a user to run a malicious executable, all bets are pretty well off.

Oracle is appealing a federal court judge's decision striking down its bid for a retrial in a $9 billion copyright infringement suit against Google over the use of Java code in the Android operating system. Apparently, they can't handle the truth

I'm having a deja-vu... They must have changed the Matrix (actually, Oracle may be changing the Matrix sooner than they release a new version of Java EE  ).

Apple's long-awaited MacBook Pro refresh is finally here and it's... well, pretty much what we expected. What happens if you jam an iPad into a Macbook?
Still, I'm sure it's "Brilliant! Genius! So innovative!"

No Air laptops!!
(anyway, I will not have the money for nice things (excep for vacations) for another 10 months; knocks on wood that my gadgets hold up up to that point)

The Air is doomed. Along with Apple's consistent and simplified product line.
(Actually, I'm guessing the Air will live for another year or two, then maybe they'll have a MacBook Air SE. In rose gold, natch. And then they'll point to a "partner" who makes one that's actually a little better and cheaper, and then they'll wash their hands of it.
And yes: I miss Steve. Evil but focused and consistent)

Something tells me Microsoft may have stolen their thunder with the new Surface Studio and the Surface Book refreshes.
Apple look more and more like a one trick pony nowadays - entirely reliant on iPhone revenue.
Good time to sell APPL.
