Not a good idea for anything mission-critical or life-threatening.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

The cyber-security firm terms Norton Crypto a "feature", which will utilize your PC to mine cryptocurrency when Norton 360 detects that the system is idle. The settings will be managed by Norton. Does their antivirus detect itself?
And conveniently they take 15% off the top.

This comes as a surprise to ... absolutely no one.
Just another company providing dubious value at high prices to the uneducated.

Hi,
Have a look at my annual report about the status of the C++ language.
C++ at the end of 2021 - C++ Stories[^]
From the article:
New features, plans for the language, updated tools and compilers, conferences, books, and more!
What was the most important event this year? The pandemic? C++20 adoption? Ongoing work for C++23 or something else?

Nvidia used its CES "special address" today to tease the company's top-of-the-line RTX 3090 Ti GPU alongside other GPUs and a completely new class of "dual format" gaming monitor aimed at esports pros. Aaaaaand they're sold out

OpenJDK proposals would introduce value objects, primitive objects, and unify basic primitives with objects, so that all Java values will be objects. Is it a good idea to use a name for a place where the dead go as a code name?

And you have to die in battle to get in! It was ignominious for a Viking to die in bed, just like an old cow in the hay.

I didn’t bring that part up as I didn’t think they deserved credit for the battle part.

Yeah, false quote, but I can't help but re-use it. Sorry.

A most interesting article and a truly impressive system for the time (late 50s). The description of its active-standby configuration resembles a system that I worked on but which was designed 20 years later. Maybe our designers knew about this system.

Great article and read the comments, especially the one about the Safeguard radar software.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, other comments noted that Soviet ICBMs made the system obsolete almost as soon as it came online, and that the British playing the role of Soviets during war games got a lot of bombers through. A remarkable system but, sadly, a white elephant.

The Windows Developer team wanted to celebrate the New Year by tweeting some software code to its followers. Unfortunately, the code doesn’t work. And this despite the incredibly basic nature of the code. Mental note: Never ship code after New Year's cocktails
"Let he without sin..."
Plus, where's the unit test tweet?

I wonder if the developer who tweeted that code is still employed as a developer at MS...

On the other hand, even if he was fired, I suppose there still are plenty of possible candidates for such situations in there...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

On the other hand, this mistake is very iconic. They must be on the UI team.
