Cheerful?!?!?!
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

It might more accurately be called "I Can Manipulate Boys Into Programming While I Sit Back and Take Credit." So, it should have been titled, "Barbie becomes an IT manager?"

Around my house that's worded as, "I have the tits; I make the rules".

Didn't read the article as it's rubbish, but I did read the screenshots of the pictures from the book. People really need to get a freaking life if they think that's newsworthy. Talk about being uptight. Nowhere did the book say girls can't be programmers. Just another case of someone with no life making a mountain out of a molehill.

I agree. I don't psychoanalyze every single word as to what it means and what they could have meant. So Barbie can't do it all. That's realistic. Most everyone, male and female, can't.

Fine, so don't publish. Publish, and be damned.

Yes, but the title "I can be a computer engineer" is just a tad misleading. And the attitudes seem to come from 5 decades ago.

That's being overly anal and pedantic man. Here's a thought, maybe the person that wrote it isn't a super computer genius. Seriously, anyone that makes a big deal out of this, especially to the tune of that article, really needs to get out more and get laid.

This site allows you to compile simple code without the need to install Visual Studio. Because I'm sure that's how C++ developers work in the real world
|
|
|
|

Even if that is the case, there will be a compiler at the back end that will be compiling the source code and returning the result of the application rendered as an HTML markup and so on.
You can see, the source code goes to the website, they compile and return the string, which is then written into the document.
Does it make sense to you, why they said, "This site allows you to compile simple code without the need to install Visual Studio". Complex code would still require Visual Studio.
Sorry, but I had to dig in and this[^] is the Network tab response for the request, check it out.

Unified JVM logging and more compiler controls – as Oracle confirms another four Java 9 features, plans for the next generation of Java are starting to become clearer. Now that .NET is open source, these versions should come along faster

Still they're not enough. Visual Studio is enough to kick these to the verge.

IBM's Verse borrows ideas from Google's Inbox, then adds Watson-powered querying to let users tame their email. Looking forward to it. I always appreciate IBM's software design.

A research collaboration between Google and Stanford University is producing software that increasingly describes the entire scene portrayed in a picture, not just individual objects. "Methinks it is like a weasel."
