Sixty-four percent of those surveyed said they’d trust a robot more than their manager. So where does that leave people in leadership roles? The others aren't sure which are which

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?

My last manager was brilliant and understood our market to a degree no AI/robot would. Concerning the article, what were the circumstances? Reading barcodes?

Sadly, they don't have the actual questions in their friggin' report, but I'm assuming they somehow pulled that number out of an orifice synthesized that 64% from:
Quote: According to our respondents, managers are better than robots at activities like understanding their feelings (45%), coaching them (33%), creating a work culture (29%), and evaluating team performance (26%). But robots are better than human bosses at tasks such as providing unbiased information (36%), maintaining work schedules (34%), solving problems (29%), and managing a budget (26%).

Microsoft has faced criticism in the past for the “ads” scatted throughout some of the apps Windows 10, but a much-loved free component of Windows might soon be part of the story now too. It looks like you're editing a document without sending us money. Would you like to help us with that?

I can't get over wordpad being called "much-loved".
I don't think I even know anyone who's ever used it -- except by accident, maybe.

I use it give a quick look at binary files, and to read text files that don't believe in CR.

I got the Notepad++ Hex Editor extension for that, because I couldn't find the editor I used to use (primarily because I've forgotten what it's called, so I wasn't successful searching for it).GenJerDan wrote: text files that don't believe in CR
Now that is a pain (yes, DooM wad makers, I'm looking at you), so I associate the txt extension with either TextPad or Notepad++ on my laptops (and just swear about it, on the desktops).

What a shame that this article is on a site that I've blocked for infringing the law.
I really would have enjoyed reading the words of such a great oracle and vanguard of technological innovation.

Yeah, sorry about that. I am trying to wean myself off posting anything from The Verge (and Engadget, and Techcrunch), but sometimes they're the only ones with an article on a topic.

Did me a favour, in this case, because if I could have read it, I would have read it, and it no doubt would have ruined my day.

Wait.
Do you mean Win 3.11?
Or, do you mean dotnet Core?
Dotnet core really is cool. It is amazingly flexible and you still get to use C#!

In this blog post, I’d like to show you how I could quickly improve my old project with Modern C++. Thanks to using the newest compilers and free code analysis checkers you can cover and modernise a lot of code. I thought "real" C++ developers eschewed IDEs?
Yes, I just really wanted to use eschewed today. Probably inappropriately, but hopefully you understand anyway. I know many developers are quite keen on proper English usage.

How does adding/removing noexcept in C++ work in practice? It gave immediate flashbacks to the horror that Java's exception specifications became in any larger code base if you did anything to change the exception behavior of a low level function.
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?

You're telling the compiler that either this function won't throw exceptions, or that the program should crash if it throws any exceptions. It lets the compiler optimize the code.
|
|
|
|
|
And when you've got something like:
void Function1() noexcept
{
Function2();
}
void Function2() noexcept
{
}
...and then at some point in the future you change Function2 to throw an exception, do you then end up having to ether update functions everywhere up the call chain propagating the change, or have a zillion new warnings (errors?) cluttering up your codebase and that of anything that consumes it. Javaland ended up doing a lot of grotesque contortions to avoid breaking API specifications by changing what exceptions were thrown. This smells like a lighter weight version of the same thing.

In the Points of Interest section at the end of this article[^], I mention why I loathe noexcept. It should never have been allowed in any case, for the same reason that
inline has been effectively repurposedregister has been deleted- there is a proposal to remove
volatile
That is, telling the compiler what to do (inline, register) clutters the language with noise, and compilers that introduce errors during optimization (hence the need for volatile) should be taken out and shot.
A noexcept function can call functions that throw. But if one of them throws, abort will get invoked.
