Researchers at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) and University of California- Los Angeles (UCLA) recently developed a framework that can create Android applications from text descriptions. Write a program that makes me a million dollars. Compile.

NortonLifelock has added the ability to mine Ethereum cryptocurrency directly within its Norton 360 antivirus program as a way to "protect" users from malicious mining software. Why just hunt for computer viruses when you can also burn out your computer?

Good grief, that is a mentally ill corporation.
Small companies that acted in such a toxic manner would go bust quickly. But, above a certain size, it seems impossible for certain businesses to fail no matter how badly, wastefully, incompetently they are run. Their inertia, and especially B2B corporate revenue (which is driven by sales to similar businesses), drives them on regardless.
I'm not sure what to think about this. Is it acceptable, how things naturally are? Or is it something that regulation could properly deal with?
I am no fan of regulation due to inevitable regulatory capture.
I suspect that this type of madness is an example of "how things naturally are" and it doesn't matter -- as long as there are competitors, both in terms of sales and jobs. But when one business comes to represent a very large proportion of certain markets (and Amazon is already there in some markets) and can effectively prevent new market entrants by its mere existence then perhaps there does begin to be an objective problem.

What's next after Windows 10? Oh, fingers crossed for Active Direct OLE Windows 10, Millennium Edition (Build 8675309)!

That trend looks like the old bit about watching Star Trek movies (only the even-numbered ones), and does not bode well for the next version.

Windows 10.1 is surely too obvious.
What about 'Windows LERHTT' (Last Edition, really honestly this time).

One industry that has remained in high demand despite the pandemic is artificial intelligence, with hiring growth for these jobs increasing by 32% since 2019, according to LinkedIn. Can you write a bit switch statement? You too could become an AI programmer!

Everyone can learn how to code. Computer science theories will teach you how to program Because knowing how to balance a binary tree will help you with that new website the boss wants

While I partially agree that there should be some other content being additionally taught, is not exactly computer science theories what I would do, what I miss is a bit of common sense and a bit of just plain computers or low level stuff.

Good solutions design and coding principles is what I always find people miss, rather than low level theory which is rarely used.

Quote: rather than low level theory which is rarely used. Low level programming might not be that used in a part of the industry, but it always help.
I started with C, PICs and PALs, then several years programming PLCs and industry robots... Then mainly C# (some c++ too).
My senior always says he likes brainstorming with me, because I usually see way more simple and efficient ways to do the tasks than he does, although I don't really know how to do them programatically yet.
And that comes from the low level experience in my CV.

What a weird article; the author doesn't ever answer his thesis; it's entirely tautological.
