Microsoft will begin rolling out SHA-2 standalone updates for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 in March in preparation for its July 16 implementation deadline. There's a new way to shut off Windows Update, if you need one

But isn't not getting windows updates a safer way to live?

.NET Core 1.0 was released on June 27, 2016 and .NET Core 1.1 was released on November 16, 2016. As an LTS release, .NET Core 1.0 is supported for three years. .NET Core 1.1 fits into the same support timeframe as .NET Core 1.0. .NET Core 1.0 and 1.1 will reach end of life and go out of support on June 27, 2019, three years after the initial .NET Core 1.0 release. .NET Core lifespan now measured in 'dog years'

Is there a prize for the most times you can add ".NET core" to a paragraph?

Nevertheless, enterprises are forking over big chunks of their IT budgets on AI implementations. I'm sure "lack of practical need" sits pretty high too

I disagree with the paranoid zdnet conclusions.
if I were looking to adopt, I'd think I'd rather have an AI than "a little bundle of joy" that expends all its seemingly limitless energy on "inputs and outputs"

We take the relative seamlessness of the internet for granted these days -- it's easy to forget that surfing the web was once a fairly clunky and convoluted affair. I sure hope it has all the security updates

Engineers at Rochester Institute of Technology have designed a high-tech toilet seat that effortlessly flushes out data on the state of your cardiovascular system. The tricked-out porcelain throne measures your blood pressure, blood oxygen level, and the volume of blood your heart pumps per beat (stroke volume)—taking readings every time you sit down to catch up on some reading of your own. The engineers, led by David Borkholder, recently published a prototype of the seat in the open-access journal JMIR mHealth and uHealth.

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?

Programming interview questions can feel unnecessarily difficult. Sometimes they actually are. And this isn't just because they make interviews excessively stressful. Our data shows that harder programming questions actually do a worse job of predicting final outcomes than easier ones. 'Can you show me on the whiteboard how to add two integers?'
Without access to Q&A, of course.

If that was constrained to be done using purely boolean gates, it could be an interesting question.

Going to tend to agree with the article. In a past life, I was a hiring manager for a telecom company. We did a LOT of C and C++ code, and for the signaling system communications, there was a huge amount of basic pointer operations and bit twiddling. Going into a hiring phase, some of us managers got into a heated discussion as to whether or not to use programming questions. I was against it, but gave in to some simple stuff.....
The results were SHOCKING. We had multiple candidates with alleged 5+ years of C and C++ that just failed. No idea of any sort of binary knowledge. Examples:
- What is the largest unsigned integer you can represent in a byte? Background: do you even know what a byte is? # bits, any idea of binary arithmetic... etc. Many of the candidates got the 1000 meter stare thinking it was a trick question.
Follow up - so if for a byte, the max is 255, what is the largest unsigned integer you can fit in a word? Many, many answers of 510 
- Explain what a pointer is. I mean, really, you say you have 5 years of coding experience in C. Surely you can explain the difference between "int MyInt;" and "int *pMyInt;" Begin 2000 meter stare, perspiration on forehead...
We saved so much time asking these basic questions. The interviews got shorter and shorter. The good ones happened when the candidate got pissed off. "Really? These questions are a joke!" , and off they go explaining more complex stuff.

For a C programmer, that should be like breathing.

Yes, for a REAL C programmer it should be.

At first, I thought, no way, these are silly questions. But I'm a believer now.
