All that remains for C++17 now is some ISO red tape and minor touch-up to get it officially published, which is expected to be just mechanical. Travel to Hawaii for a "standards meeting". Life is hard.

It's the software-world equivalent of a "sanitation engineer", who carries out trashcans full of smelly, disgusting code, and buries it in a landfill.
Let's see someone try to call themselves that in Canada, eh?

Don't know about elsewhere, but at our company, the QA Analyst is someone who can write the documentation and open a browser and click the right places and fill in values, and make sure the output is what's expected.
The QA Engineer is someone who scripts and automates that stuff using Selenium, and can also use script-based tools to do load and regression testing of REST services. The QAA doesn't even know what a REST service is, let alone be able to script a load test for one.

Gosh. I am in the 17.2 and 7.5. That's really depressing.

17.2 and 7.5 (and 28.9 (desktop) and 23.0 (mobile)) for me. Odd that they seemed to have lumped back end (server side) development into "Other".

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

The messaging service that allowed Gmail users to talk to each other since it launched in 2005, will now be completely retired. Yeah, Google cancelling something isn't really news is it?

Does that mean that my ignoring the last 4,000 google talk updates on my phone were a good idea?

In a severe rebuke of one of the biggest suppliers of HTTPS credentials, Google Chrome developers announced plans to drastically restrict transport layer security certificates sold by Symantec-owned issuers following the discovery they have allegedly mis-issued more than 30,000 certificates. I am the gatekeeper, are you the keymaster?
OK, not a direct quote, but I hope you get the idea I was going for.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Winnti's abuse of GitHub repository leaves the site in the tricky position of deciding which projects can stay and which ones to shut down. Hackers need version control too?

The irony here is that even the text describing the bug here is wrong. The loop will iterate once.

At the USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation next week, researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and Stanford University will present a new encryption system that disguises users' database queries so that they reveal no private information.
