From the article: Google now checks for security breaches even after a user has logged in ... monitors various aspects of behavior throughout a user’s session. And they think that watching and reading everything that their perfectly honest, law-abiding users do and say is acceptable behaviour?
They are a corporation, a business, not an international security force.
If the genuine police of any country wanted to watch and read everything I did, I would expect to see multiple warrants, signed by judges.
And you can rest assured that whatever they glean from performing these "security checks that we do just for you, our friends!" is used to make profit for them.

To write expressive code in C++, mastering smart pointers is a necessity! Without them, our code becomes littered with memory management, news and delete, and unclear semantics about who owns what resources. Full of many smart pointers, no doubt
Yeah, "free" as in, "subscribe to my newsletter free". I'm sure you can work around that if needed.

I think a few eParagraphs would suffice.

if the pointers are smart why do we need to read about it..

Over the next eight years, the United States will add more than a quarter-million new software developer roles, according to new data crunched by The Knowledge Academy (which provides online training courses) and Glassdoor. After that, you're on your own?

Aren't computers supposed to program themselves by that time?

Wow!
That's the second organisation that makes money out of IT courses to say that lots more jobs will be available for people with IT training.
We needn't worry, then, if experts like that say that the future is rosy for people with IT training.

2 years back they said the cloud would reduce the load and now they say there is more work to be done ? .. i guess later when they realize why not have just one AI system...syknet...

The app, which had been getting a little long in the tooth especially compared with modern email clients like Microsoft’s Outlook Mail and Google’s Gmail web app is about due for a revamp, and Mozilla’s Ryan Sipes acknowledges that in a blog post. "I've heard of you. I heard you were dead!"

Not everybody has the same developer resources that Microsoft has.

Microsoft Research has been doing some research into speaker and microphone arrays as often found in smart speakers. "The order is: engage the silent drive."
"Microsoft does not plan to use the technology for anything nefarious". I'm sure that someone will.

I was starting to confuse my self. Haven't ships and submarines been using ultra sound for a very long time.
So wouldn't using speak sound range be a different level of fidelity then ultra sound.
hell, i rember as a kid that you could plug headphones into the mic port and record, poorly, sounds.

Wow!
That's really scary news!
Remind me, though: who is it that's selling lots of smart speakers?
Hmm? Say again?
Oh, "All the big tech companies except microsoft"? Okidoki.

I suppose that's better than her current response...
Bob: Alexa, where are my car keys?
Alexa: How the f*ck should I know, Bob?
And then she taunts you a few seconds later...
Alexa: Have you checked up your fat ass, Bob?
A few minutes later, Alexa could detect that you're still looking for he keys...
Alexa:Still looking for your keys, Bob? You're an idiot. Ha. Ha. Ha.

A lot has been said and written lately about the game industry’s “C++ is not changing into the thing we need” feelings. "C# is a very natural choice that comes with a lot of nice benefits for Unity"
C# for performance-critical code? How times have changed.

What a weird article.
"C++ doesn't do this, so we'll use C# which doesn't do it either, let's pat ourselves on the back."

Did you actually bother to read the entire article or quit after the first few paragraphs feeling smug? Because the full takeaway is that by using a subset of C# - primarily structs for everything - and by tapping into the Rosalyn compiler's interop points they can write C++ equivalent performance code, get compile time errors if it doesn't vectorize, or even look at the final output asm as they code. Other than using a different set of collections than we're used to and avoiding LINQ the C# looks like normal code and is no less readable than normal. Contrasting that, in order to bludgeon all the various C++ compilers into vectorizing everything that should be vectorized the matching code from the C++ version of that sample was 4x as long.
The article also briefly mentioned other crazy things they've been doing via C#. The one I'm most intrigued by, and am interested in learning more about are the threadsafe workers that enforce Worker A making a potentially unsafe access to a data buffer currently being used by Worker B an immediate on the spot run time error, instead of a memory corruption bug that only occurs when when the race condition hits a pernicious state and which might not trigger an crash/etc until much later at which point it becomes a nightmare to track down. If that's something that could be used outside of Unity as a whole, it's something that I could see being useful on a much wider scale.

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?

Being smugly called smug is a treat.
Yeah, the snark was a little heavy, but the article was still weird and by weird I mean not well written. Compilers (C++ or otherwise) have been able to do vector optimization for a while, so why bring them up the way that they do? There is a valid unstated criticism that many current compilers do a poor job in vectorization, something which mystifies me since years ago I used a compiler which did (without making any code 4x as long.)
(Unfortunately, the morning I was doing the final compile to see how the optimization scaled, the company severely downsized, including me, and project was canceled.)

Coconut is a functional programming language that compiles to Python. Since all valid Python is valid Coconut, using Coconut will only extend and enhance what you're already capable of in Python. Why is there no lime in the coconut?

You obviously need the Linux memory extractor.
