I wonder if they got signoff from the OEMs this time or just don't care.
They tried to do this about a decade ago, shortly after the Core branding came out, but had to backpedal after Dell, HP, Acer, etc all threw tantrums because: "When shopping for cheap crappy race to the bottom computers our clueless customers 'know' that Pentium or Celeron badges mean it's a 'good' computer." 😭🤮
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

My goal is to explore whether there's a way we can evolve C++ itself to become 10x simpler, safer, and more toolable. Why create a new language, when you can just change the syntax of the old one?

He'd better hide, a certain codewitch we all know might come to kick his scrawny little backside.

Boffins at the University of Michigan in the US and Zhejiang University in China want to highlight how bespectacled video conferencing participants are inadvertently revealing sensitive on-screen information via reflections in their eyeglasses. Another reason to avoid Zoom meetings
""Our models and experimental results in a controlled lab setting show it is possible to reconstruct and recognize with over 75 percent accuracy on-screen texts that have heights as small as 10 mm with a 720p webcam." That corresponds to 28 pt, a font size commonly used for headings and small headlines." <- Time to stop working on your headlines during that team meeting?

I got the idea to do something like that many years ago!
But then, with the amount of energy and dedication that characterize me those last 10 to 20 years... I did f*** all!

In Norway, the state administration 40-50 years ago hired one language expert (Finn Erik Vinje, but I guess his name not well known in English speaking countries) as a language consultant for the specific purpose of making more readable the Norwegian laws, documents from the state administration, and other public institutions. He was the primary language consultant for the language revision of the Norwegian Constitution. (For you USAians: Here, we do not make 'amendments' to our constitution, but make changes and additions to the original text, so we can update the language even of the Constitution!) For many years, he was also a language consultant for the Norwegian State Broadcasting (NRK). His approach to language is strongly based on the real-life everyday use, with an emphasis on simplification, clarification, direct and easily understood phrasings, forming a school for those who has followed him after he retired (he is born in 1936)
After Vinje started his work revising Norwegian laws, they actually became readable. Nowadays, more or less anyone with a reasonable mastery of Norwegian can look up all Norwegian laws on Internet and understand what they say. Of course, there are specific legal terms not common in everyday use, but many new laws start out with a section defining the meaning of a bunch of terms.
Obviously, some terms are still open to interpretation - terms like 'severe' or 'significant'. You may have to consult a lawyer to tell you whether your possible crime (or disagreement with your neighbor) is likely to be considered severe or significant. At least, you understand what you have to ask the lawyer about!
Individual lawyers may of course still write in a terrible language (at the risk of being ridiculed in media - that happens quite often, by a tradition at least fifty years old ). There is no doubt that the rewording of a great majority of the laws, and of documents published by official institutions, has a strong effect even on old style writing lawyers.
I haven't heard much about similar efforts in other countries / languages but would like to hear about it! I guess that rewriting the US Constitution to a language that can easily be understood by twelve year old US kids would be met with snarles and frowning .

The US Constitution is actually reasonably clear as long as you take into consideration late 1700s language idioms. Some parts, like Article 1, Section 1 are very clear even today.
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
This is the statement that seems to give our politicians so much trouble and is the source of several recent US Supreme Court decisions overturning Executive Branch policies.

A.Team's annual Tech Work Report highlights the struggles tech companies are facing in hiring, onboarding, and dealing with hybrid-working models. To code monkey, or not to code monkey...
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the interview loops and whiteboard tests of a hiring cycle,
or to get butts in seats of a sea of recruiter chaff
and by hiring, not complete the app. That is the question.
