Conversely, I'd much rather see a site where, when applying for a job, I don't have to enter the information in that's already on my resume, then again for the company's specific application form, and redundantly over and over again for each of the numerous recruiting sites, not to mention yet again for LinkedIn.

It's the hiring team that pays the bills. The people with the actual skills are simply the product.
The difficult we do right away...

He's onto something. I really like C++11 and C++14. C++17 is more of a mixed bag; its strongest "features" are the fixes and refinements done to the former iterations. In addition, filesystem was a much needed feature, though it has several issues, especially for cross platform (choosing POSIX as the layer to implement really hurt it.)
So far, I find C++20 comes dangerously close to jumping the shark. Bjarne is right that it must first, and foremost, fix issues with C++03/11/14/17. It MUST also have networking. Many new proposals are not only addressing increasingly smaller segments of the user base, they are trying to turn C++ into something it's not. Worse, some may cause even more code bloat.
(BTW, Bjarne is partly wrong about std:thread. It's okay, but it's hampered by following POSIX. In Win32, being able to wait on several handles, including a thread, is so powerful, I still have modules which use that. If I have to go cross platform on those, I cringe and punt.)

The problem with today's arc-fault detectors, according to a team of MIT engineers, is that they often err on the side of being overly sensitive, shutting off an outlet's power in response to electrical signals that are actually harmless. Back to replacing fuses with pennies?

Several former Microsoft engineers and execs have launched a new cross-cloud, multi-language development framework called Pulumi. If you get laid off, make lemonade?

The Pulumi CEO did NOT say, "Pulumi is just like every other cloud solution out there, but with a different name."

"cross-cloud" ?

World Health Organization is today announcing that ‘gaming disorder’ will be the official term for the condition, which is likened to substance abuse. VB development still OK
And if that seemed a bit harsh to you, I should add that my name's on more than a few VB dev books (just none lately).

Unlike chess moves, changes to a Rubik’s Cube are hard to evaluate, which is why deep-learning machines haven’t been able to solve the puzzle on their own. Until now. Then they came for the Rubik's fans, and I did nothing as I can't get one side all red
|
|
|
|
|
Except that's not really true. The machine was programmed to solve the Rubik's cube using a very specific algorithm. Granted, the program came up with its own steps, which is laudable, but to suggest it did this 'entirely on its own' is not true.

Zapcc is a C++ compiler based on clang, designed to perform faster compilations. (now open source) I wonder what it compiles with?
|
|
|
|

There have been several products doing what this does (cache the crap out of everything) but none seem to stick.
Edit: I was just reminded one reason why--link time tends to be a much bigger limiting factor than compile time.

Researchers says that the SafeSpec model supports "speculation in a way that is immune to the sidechannel leakage necessary for attacks such as Meltdown and Spectre". Importantly, the design also avoids the problems associated with other Meltdown/Spectre fixes. It probably only causes a few side effects
