The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday agreed to take up Apple Inc’s bid to escape a lawsuit accusing it of breaking federal antitrust laws by monopolizing the market for iPhone software applications and causing consumers to pay more than they should. Mr. Cook, tear down that wall(ed garden)

In a research paper published this week, a pair of Facebook engineers describe a new method that uses machine learning to retouch closed eyes in photos. Bad news is that it replaces them with those 'googly eyes' ones

Conversely, every time my gf peruses FB, I close my eyes.

Facebook using Google-y eyes? Huh? Huh? Anyone?
I'll show myself out...

Microsoft has ported Windows 10 and Linux to E2, its homegrown processor architecture it has spent years working on mostly in secret. In related news: numerous heads exploded on the Intel campus today

FPMO's are irrelevant. Facebook, Twitter, et al -- their grand scheme is to dumb us all down to use integer math, and eventually just binary. Like, Don't Like. Click, Don't Click.

Python has some quirks, but it has its good points. I usually use it for utility scripts (such as a minecraft backup script) that run on certain intervals.

t’s Builder platform claims to combine artificial intelligence with crowdsourced teams of designers and developers to build bespoke digital products at – they say – twice the speed and less than
a third of the cost of traditional software development. My next business idea: connect the IDE directly to Q&A to "speed development"
"Builder redesigns how software is created, enabling everyone with an idea in their head to get an app in their hand." Can anyone find my eyes? They just rolled somewhere.

Assembly programming can be intimidating for people who have never looked into it any deeper than a glance, but giving that it underpins how the computers we use work it can be helpful having context in regards to what is actually being run by the CPU. I thought that was the way Assembly programmers liked it?

The result is our latest release of Hire. By incorporating Google AI, Hire now reduces repetitive, time-consuming tasks, into one-click interactions. This means hiring teams can spend less time with logistics and more time connecting with people. Does it automatically find all the embarrassing information about you on the internet?

Conversely, I'd much rather see a site where, when applying for a job, I don't have to enter the information in that's already on my resume, then again for the company's specific application form, and redundantly over and over again for each of the numerous recruiting sites, not to mention yet again for LinkedIn.

It's the hiring team that pays the bills. The people with the actual skills are simply the product.

He's onto something. I really like C++11 and C++14. C++17 is more of a mixed bag; its strongest "features" are the fixes and refinements done to the former iterations. In addition, filesystem was a much needed feature, though it has several issues, especially for cross platform (choosing POSIX as the layer to implement really hurt it.)
So far, I find C++20 comes dangerously close to jumping the shark. Bjarne is right that it must first, and foremost, fix issues with C++03/11/14/17. It MUST also have networking. Many new proposals are not only addressing increasingly smaller segments of the user base, they are trying to turn C++ into something it's not. Worse, some may cause even more code bloat.
(BTW, Bjarne is partly wrong about std:thread. It's okay, but it's hampered by following POSIX. In Win32, being able to wait on several handles, including a thread, is so powerful, I still have modules which use that. If I have to go cross platform on those, I cringe and punt.)
