IBM announced during its Think 2021 conference on Monday that its researchers have crafted a Rosetta Stone for programming code. It can convert C++'s if(){} into Java's if(){}!

A coalition which includes Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Apple, Google, AT&T, Cisco Systems, General Electric, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), and Verizon and interestingly not Intel (together the Semiconductors in America Coalition (SIAC)) has called on congressional leaders to appropriate $50 billion for domestic chip manufacturing incentives and research initiatives. This is why we're fat

The profits are capitalized, the expenses are socialized. Hmmmph....

Indeed. It's very odd. Can't these immensely successful companies fund their own fab?
Perhaps if US taxpayers were to be shareholders in the fab then that would be fair -- sharing reward as well as risk.
To be fair though, if these companies (and the USA itself) are competing against subsidies offered by some foreign governments then this might just make sense.

Some of these companies are probably worth more than those foreign governments.

A computer science professor from Sweden has discovered an arbitrary code execution vuln in the Universal Turing Machine, one of the earliest computer designs in history – though he admits it has "no real-world implications". "There's nothing to see here. Move along. Keep moving."

I really wonder...
does people like that search for those kind of things? Or do they really find them by random chance like Newton and the apple?

In my opinion Algol W was not perfectly satisfactory. It still contained too many compromises, having emerged from a committee. After my return to Switzerland, I designed a language after my own preferences: Pascal. begin

The ebpf-for-windows project aims to allow developers to use familiar eBPF toolchains and application programming interfaces (APIs) on top of existing versions of Windows. Step 0: embrace
That's OK, people: don't bother explaining what eBPF does. I'm sure everyone knows already.

But besides trying to annoy you a bit... yes, I agree. A (at least) two liner description when someone speaks about something is a must. You can't take as granted that everyone who will read the article will know what you are telling.

Judging by the substance free article I assume it's a platform to convert buzzwords into being hired for a new job.
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?

The article was about their decision to not even tell the people they knew were affected. It wasn't about telling the world. They most definitely should have told those who were affected.
