Signals the rebirth of Dart as a mainstream programming language for mobile and web development "Stick 'em with the pointy end."
I would have sworn this was out already, but I guess that was just the first "beta"

Mozilla wants you to be a little more adventurous. It's introducing a new Test Pilot experiment, Advance, that recommends stories based on both your current page and recent web history. It looks like you're trying to avoid work. Would you like help with that?

Does it look like I need help with that?

Python climbs up TIOBE's search engine-based index of programming language popularity. sigh.

There was a discussion here recently regarding TIOBE. IIRC, the general consensus was that the TIOBE index is garbage.

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?

Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh have recently developed a conditional variational autoencoder that can produce unique faces for advertisements. Hurrah! A way to create more advertisements, more quickly
Who couldn't love that? ugh.

Microsoft is giving its Skype 7.0 'Classic' variant for Windows desktop a temporary reprieve, following many users complaining of its impending September 1 shutdown. People like Skype?

I think the point is... they like the Skype version that at least works and don't want to get updated to the "new super hyper cooler" version that is / was being rolled out

For several years, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has been working to improve the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, which is designed to help developers protect data as it moves around the internet. Secure your traffic, like the company that shares all your data

I bet it will be really secure or at least they will make it as secure as they possibly can
At the end, they do have a lot of interest in being the only ones accessing our data.

Researchers suggest non-exploitable “chaff bugs” in systems could be a fun way to deter attackers from doing real harm. I guess my work is done for the day
Oh wait - fake bugs? Dang.

Hmm maybe that's what Microsoft has been up to all these years. Guess they just didn't get the part about non-exploitable.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

While technology has typically created more jobs than it has destroyed on a historical basis, this context rarely stops people from believing that things are “different” this time around. Because the computer has already replaced all our jobs?
