In the near futures, the U.S. Army plans to deploy packs of semi-autonomous robot tanks armed to the brim with chainguns, missiles, and other fearsome weaponry. "State of the art destructive capabilities, commanded by a unique combination of software and organic systems"

Sorry. I was trying to imply that it seems all of our 'construction' leads to ways to kill people. We seem to revel in it.

A cryptographic master tool called indistinguishability obfuscation has for years seemed too good to be true. Three researchers have figured out that it can work. "Eschew obfuscation"
Of course, "While the protocol is far from ready to be deployed in real-world applications, from a theoretical standpoint it provides an instant way to build an array of cryptographic tools that were previously out of reach.", so gritty details to follow.

Is that the quantum cryptography?

We need to learn how to effectively use multi-paradigm languages that support functional, object oriented, and procedural paradigms. "It's a feature of new paradigms that pitchforks come out with new paradigms."

five paradigms do not make a dollar.

These releases have several notable features from the teams improving Git Productivity, C++, IntelliCode, .NET, XAML, and Web Tools. What a coincidence this comes out the same day as .NET 5!

Apple has introduced the new M1 chip that will power its new generation of Arm-based Macs. It’s a 5nm processor, just like the A14 Bionic powering its latest iPhones. The only CPU that helps you get out of London?

The Federal Trade Commission has announced a settlement with Zoom, after it accused the video calling giant of engaging in “a series of deceptive and unfair practices that undermined the security of its users,” in part by claiming the encryption was stronger than it actually was. It was encrypted-like? Encryptedish? Sarcastically encrypted?

Probably they were pioneering the new encryption that the EU is pushing soon...

We’re excited to release .NET 5.0 today and for you to start using it. It’s a major release — including C# 9 and F# 5 — with a broad set of new features and compelling improvements. Gentlement (and ladies): Start your downloads!
I wouldn't expect a patch for at least a week now.

The 3.2 release is loaded with features and performance improvements. Most of the release focused on upcoming .NET 5 and all benefits Uno Platform gets from building on top of it. However, we are also releasing improvements to the controls and tooling we introduced in previous releases. All your buzzwords, in one handy install!
Just in time for the .NET 5 release

Is Uno a Microsoft project? If it's not now, presumably it will be soon. It seems to fill a niche that Microsoft is slow to fill.

Independent at the moment, but yeah. They need to be bought (or subsidized)

PHB to Dilbert: "I could give you a raise or sack you, make everyone else work harder, and get a bonus".
From the manager's perspective that might seem like good management.

Admit it, you’ve got them: legacy .NET applications in production supporting the business. How many times have you been asked the hard question of how you’re going to run those apps in the cloud? So you don't have to stash that old machine under someone's desk
