It's a hot topic on twitter.
Well, for one twitterator, anyway.
I hear the decree came out after some of POTUS' buddies decided to buy up AI companies...
Let's try that again...
I hear the decree came out after POTUS realised how dumb the US intelligence services are, and figured "Hell, it couldn't be worse!"...
Nope. Third time's the charm?
I hear the decree came out because POTUS heard that computery stuff involved firewalls
Damn! What is wrong with me, today?!?
I hear the decree came out because an AI had been trained to write fake news stories...
Oh, I give in!

The main thing I’d say about computer science is that [programmers] have a self-concept of being totally skills-driven, but if you actually look at employment in computer science, that’s not how it works. Degrees from leading schools really do seem to matter. They really do seem to open doors. Semaphore, or critical section?
A counterpoint to the "Do I need a CS degree?" posts.

Most of the people asking that don't read this forum... maybe you should stick that link in the Q&A section
If you do so, don't forget to add the "we don't do your homework" in big fat red letters

To the people doing the hiring, not to the work that needs to be done.
CS programs are on the trailing edge of the current art. "Yes, sir. I have an advanced degree in tech you've already abandoned."

White Collar Union Cards.
(Think the construction industry. The pumbers union card doesn't prove you can install pipe correctly, but you're not going to be working at a union construction site without one.)
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?

Amid general political divisiveness these days, it appears plenty of us would be happy to have robots make the tough decisions instead. Apparently 75% of Europeans have better politicians than I have

I suspect 3 of the 4 people polled on this question were politicians.
|
|
|
|
|
And that 25% is in the UK, so it doesn't really count, any more.

A report from WhiteSource examined security vulnerabilities in some of the most popular programming languages and looked at the trends of high security vulnerabilities over the years. There are no secure programming languages, only secure developers?
Well, not counting PHP. It deserves to be on the insecure list.
|
|
|
|
|
Aw, give credit where it's due: PHP is becoming more secure.
Because no-one wants to use it, any more.
Extinction guarantees security.

Pointless article based on pointless database query pointlessly points out the pointlessness of said query and fails to make a point in the process.

At least they admitted they were writing about a garbage fire mid-article. Baby steps and all that.

That depends on the time of day.

Google has been fined $1.69 billion by European regulators, who claim the U.S. tech giant abused its dominant position in search to force third-party sites to favor its own ad network while freezing out rivals. Live by the ads, die by the ads
Pretty soon, they'll be talking about real money

What do they care?
It's probably not a 20th of the taxes they're avoiding paying.
