It would be quite difficult to build a truly working system this way, imho. The output of current machine learning systems are statistical and input/reaction type, meaning it only produce probabilities and may not have "long time memories" (I might be wrong, since I am not an expert in machine learning at present), while programming is a very "precise" and correlated process, any error or mismatch in naming or logic in the execution sequence of the program will most likely kills the program. How one can "debug" a complex system build this way (a black box) that may have plethora of random "bugs" hidden. How could one trust such kind of systems to really "work".
In addition, from my own experiences, program synthesis from existing codes requires knowing, or constructing meta information about the existing codes, so that they can be turned into parameterized templates, which is quite hard for "deep learner", without the guidance from a human, especially the original coder ...

Information security professionals need to get beyond 'blaming the user' says expert. "This is everybody's fault but mine"

Sure, user's don't need to know the difference between malware flavors.
However, pretty much any hack against a non-trivial target uses social engineering.

If users wander through warez sites like a blind man hopping through a minefield and click on everything they see like a cat high on catnip... it's the SysAdmin fault. He did in fact not train them properly (i.e. with a big stick and a salt-loaded shotgun).

Half of the web’s traffic is now encrypted, according to a new report from the EFF released this week. Of course, most of that is just pig latin and ROT-13

This message is double encrypted in ROT-13.

New research from Washington University in St. Louis shows that, more than often than not, people fall short in determining which co-workers might be trying to edge them out on the job. "There's battle lines being drawn again. Nobody's right if everybody's wrong again"

Opening sentence: Everyday in the workplace, colleagues actively compete for a limited amount of perks, including raises, promotions, bonuses and recognition.
Raises, promotions, bonuses, and recognition are not perks, and it should be "number of"
Since it's obviously going to be annoying to read, I lost interest right there.

"What language will it be I'd have no clue but there will still be people who write C++ or C# code down in the engines or device drivers but when someone thinks of business solutions they will be programming in models" revealed Judah who is one the senior most executives in Microsoft's services division About as likely as coders becoming models
Of course excluding model/coder Lyndsey Scott, and Sean.

Ransomware targeting the Android operating system has grown by over 50% in just a year, as more consumers switch from their PCs to their smartphones, making the mobile OS ecosystem a more worthwhile target for cybercriminals. I guess it is true that Android is the new Windows

Google confirmed yesterday it was shutting down its Site Search service, which is the commercial version of the free service Google Custom Search, also known as Custom Search Engine (CSE). I know, "Google cancels something" isn't news, but some might be using this
And surprise, it means more ads.

I have an application that has a search function. It's a big system, over 30 TB of content. I built the search site using Autonomy's IDOL intelligence engine.
It would never even occur to me to taint our good name with Google advertisements splattered all over it. I can't imagine the person who would do this. They must not care at all.

Called "Upspin," the open source project aims to make sharing easier for home users. And your shared files will only be moderately scanned and archived
"With that said, the project does not seem particularly easy to set up or maintain." Bwahahaha

With TypeScript 2.2, we’re bringing even more goodness to your editor. This release introduces some more useful quick fixes (also called code actions) which can guide you in fixing up pesky errors. And an object, for your untyped types
|
|
|
|
|
I love Typescript, but it is starting to go off the rails with some of this stuff.
object, Object, { }, and any are all legitimate "generic" types in TS, and are each subtly different from one another.

Around 1980, Bill Gates gave Microsoft, the company he founded, a clear mission: "A computer on every desk and in every home." "The same thing we do every night, Pinky - try to take over the world!"

W! T! F!
Now I clearly see why ms has turned to sh1t.
It's being run by a moron who sees an early, excited aspirational statement to the press as being the be-all and end-all objective of a company.
The thing is, though, that when Gates said that, we all said "YEAH!"
When the morons-du-jour said "Let's f*** up everything that ms ever did and stood for", all we did was hope that they'd wise up.
Apparently, they haven't, and have no intention of doing so.
For God's sake, Linux! Become useful!

All Nadella has stated is
Quote: "It always bothered me that we confused an enduring mission with a temporal goal."
As they quickly achieved their original mission, then it seems perfectly reasonable to want a more enduring mission statement, which is what he is now doing.
I don't see anything wrong with this.
