If you are interested in this topic, there is a very interesting series of articles, and blogs, here on CodeProject postred by Matt Warren recently. You can see this list of his articles here: [^]. Blogs here: [^].
I like Matt's clear writing and his "scientific-experimental" approach.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

In fact most of the code I wrote for Visualising the .NET Garbage Collector[^] can now be replaced by the GLAD library, pity it wasn't available at the time (although I guess I wouldn't have learnt as much)!

Sounds like a prime excuse for a new series of articles!

The software giant today released KB3184143 to those on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, which removes the Get Windows 10 app. Just in case you were wondering why your hard drive was empty again

Yeahhh, Oh wait you have to re enable updates to get it ?

But you should note: it is an optional update, you must manually select it...

AT&T plans to start testing next year a new technology it says can deliver multiple gigabit-per-second internet by sending signals wirelessly along the path of power lines. We could call it "wired wireless"

Computer scientists can prove certain programs to be error-free with the same certainty that mathematicians prove theorems. The advances are being used to secure everything from unmanned drones to the internet. Colour me skeptical
Or even color me sceptical.

It's Swift code isn't it?
let x = 5;
x is constant now.
It's Steve Jobs' unhackable language.
Other uneducated developers may have tried:
var x = 5;
ps - we need a Swift option on the <code> drop down.

I prefer:
constexpr int x = 5;

void main() { }

You send me that code compiled as an exe, and I'll send you back something rather more interesting and considerably more malevolent.
That example is about the least unhackable I can think of as a program, actually.

Wow that was a lot of bullshit to plow through. Then came the part where what they actually did is not what the headline claims they did (blame the journalists here, not the engineers/scientists.)

China's Tiangong-1 space station has been orbiting the planet for about 5 years now, but recently it was decommissioned and the Chinese astronauts returned to the surface. Now how is Dr. Stone supposed to get back to Earth?
