Today we’re launching Am I FLoCed, a new site that will tell you whether your Chrome browser has been turned into a guinea pig for Federated Learning of Cohorts or FLoC, Google’s latest targeted advertising experiment. "The Eye of the Enemy is moving."

That actually motivates me to ditch Chrome.

Quote: FLoC takes most of your browsing history in Chrome, and analyzes it to assign you to a category or “cohort.” This identification is then sent to any website you visit that requests it, in essence telling them what kind of person Google thinks you are. Save your time. A reptilian who'd like to see the principals at Google publicly caned.

This release is dedicated almost entirely to low-level performance features. They heard you like things faster

Yeah, they even had to get rid of the internal testers to get it out quicker.

How will a team ever know the best suited language, framework or tool to pick if they’ve never tried it out before? But there are plenty of "worst" tools

What an absurd question. If the team doesn't have enough experience with at least, say, the top 3 languages, frameworks, and tools, then they shouldn't be making any decisions about what language, framework, or tool (LFT) to use?
And nobody wants to acknowledge that there is actual thinking and analysis and valid reasoning that can be done regarding LFT's that results in weeding out 90%, at least, of the garbage that's out there.
Sadly though, that is the reality. I've worked on enough commercial products over the years which I discovered started off as the corporate equivalent of a bunch of geeks getting together in the basement and deciding they wanted to try some new fangled LFT because some unknown author of some obscure magazine was raving about it.
And the beat goes on...

The question of which <blah> is "best" was posed to the writer by an inquirer. And I thought his answer was good, along the lines of, "the best is what the team is familiar with, so long as it will do the job."

Microsoft turned 46 on April 4th and the tech giant’s social media team has decided to celebrate this milestone on Twitter by taking a look back at the rather long and amusing history of the company’s logos in a special thread. Bring back the Blibbet!

|
|
I don't now why... but it doesn't surprise me, that the company logos get a special thread...

It used to be known as Whispering Campaign 1.0, Backyard Fence 2.5, and Malicious Gossip 3.7. The users, OTOH, were always known as twits.

Well those are certainly some Iconic images.
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?

We’ve already shown how easy it can be to find bugs in even production-ready code like EASTL. Here I’ll share an example of how it found a real bug in the MSVC compiler itself. Keeping it clean
Handy if you need to find and fix a bug in the compiler (OK, or other code)
