The hyperbole of hyperbole.

There is a (much better and less hyperbolic) talk by Simon Peyton Jones on Verse here: Beyond Functional Programming: The Verse Programming Language (Simon Peyton Jones) - YouTube.
SPJ is well known for his other language, Haskell, and given the influence that has had, it may be worth paying attention to Verse. I doubt very much he shares the view that it will "soon topple C and C++".

The survey also showed consumers from Gen Z to Baby Boomers prefer digital channels like text and direct messaging to the phone. The other 40% of us are old

In the middle of this article there's a statement
Younger generations are twice as likely as older generations to want companies to use emojis and GIFs in support conversations
I suspect this is because younger generations in the US don't know how to comprehend written English due to the huge deterioration of the primary education received in the US.

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?

A team led by the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) researchers recently developed an advanced wireless haptic interface system, called WeTac, worn on the hand, which has soft, ultrathin soft features, and collects personalized tactile sensation data to provide a vivid touch experience in the metaverse. I refuse to think about how this will be misused
Or I suppose "used for the reasons it was designed", but I don't want to think of those either.

But those ways you refuse to think about will be how the technology becomes profitable and then goes mainstream.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Microsoft has quietly banned cryptocurrency mining from its online services, and says it did so to protect all customers of its clouds. Apparently not every cloud contains bitcoin from Heaven
|
|
|
|
|
I thought with the change to 'invested/trusted/whatever term it was' mining disappeared? Evidently I'm wrong.
|
|
|
|

I think it was just Ethereum that did that switch (to...nope, not coming to me). The rest are all the inefficient method still.

Perfect timing as always, considering that craptovalues are moving en masse from proof of work to proof of stake, so mining is basically dead already.

Build, program, and simulate hardware in the browser. For some, a breadboard doesn't involve toast
Mind you, some of my circuits did create toast

If you never toasted a breadboard, you never used one. Just as if you never soldered your fingers, you never soldered.

I once toasted my fingers pretty badly frantically disconnecting a short circuited 12 volt lead acid battery. Does that count?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

It does, I did the same six months ago.

I've never toasted a breadboard, but I've toasted plenty of components. In University, I held the physics department's record for releasing "magic smoke" from components.
I was strongly encouraged to select theoretical physics for my M.Sc.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Using the electrically conductive single-cell organism known as "slime mold," the researchers created a watch that only works when the organism is healthy, requiring the user to provide it with food and care. DOOM comes when it rises up to get revenge
It's just like a Tamagotchi, but messier. And uglier.
