Java has joined C and C++ as a programming language that has stood the test of time. That's the 'China' anniversary, if you wanted to buy it a gift.

A report released by FireEye, a California based network security firm, exposed an obfuscation tactic a group of Chinese hackers employed that used Microsoft’s TechNet web portal to cloak their botnet from standard counter measures. It's not just life that "finds a way"

Think the abundance of technology in your life is making it harder to concentrate for long periods? Yeah, but on the bright side, I hear our attention span is getting shorter.

It's made us dumber too, but we can't tell, so it doesn't matter.
If you're dumb but don't know, you are at peace.
I'm very relaxed because I can't remember the code I worked on yesterday.
I feel like it was good, because I'm not smart enough to tell the difference.
I'm at peace, just like an eggplant.

Quote: Computers will overtake humans with AI at some within the next 100 years. When that happens, we need to make sure the computers have goals aligned with ours
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

By then, humans* will devise wicked ways to overtake computers.
*hackers. Perhaps that's part of the 'preparation' mentioned in the title.

More likely we should make sure, that we align our goals with AI. You can't have AI smarter than humans and control its goals as well. That's a pipe dream. I for one welcome..

Rust offers a compelling mix of safe programming and native code performance. It's always a good idea to name a product for something people don't want

I wonder whether Rust-ed programs would not break and maintain their strength.

Here they go again. Microsoft once again seems to think its lawyers are more important for its ultimate business success than, you know, customers. "What do you call 1,000 lawyers, chained together at the bottom of the ocean?"

A good start!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
