Streem could end up being the basis for future Ruby upgrades, while Mochi brings key functional programming features to Python. A stream-based programming language? That will never fly!

Mochi is a dynamically typed programming language for functional programming and actor-style programming.
Matz should not be allowed to create languages.

Privacy regulators in the Netherlands announced Monday that they have imposed an "incremental penalty payment" against Google for violating Dutch data protection law, which could be as much as €15 million ($18.7 million). That's about 2 seconds of their income? Should make them notice.

We have had an absolute deluge of problem updates from Redmond recently and some have been serious. What's up at Microsoft? "When compared to software that has not been subject to the SDL, software that has undergone the SDL has experienced a significantly reduced rate of external discovery of security vulnerabilities."

All the technical people have left and all that are left are mid-level managers.
They are scurrying around in the empty cubicles and cannot understand why that alone doesn't fix the technical problems. "Oh bother. Oh, oh, bother. What's a manager to do? Think, think, think. I keep scurrying through the hallways but still nothing seems to work. Oh, bother."

Sadly, I think you may have provided the actual answer (combined with a dozen or so contractors, already planning on a new job elsewhere).
And of course meetings! Meetings solve everything.

I’ve been wondering if our problem is that we don’t listen. When it comes to exchanging technical ideas, I think overall we’re not good at really listening to each other. At the very least, I think we’re bad at making people feel heard. "And girls just want to have fun"

I don't believe this to be true!
Biased mode off: Yes, this is true. We donot listen to each other and we think we're the bests.

If you really want to be heard, write an article for CP.

If you believe in any of these myths, or have colleagues who perpetuate them, this short article is for you. Several of these myths have been true for someone, for some task, at some time. However, with today’s C++, using widely available up-to date ISO C++ 2011 compilers, and tools, they are mere myths. The "+" does not stand for "value"

The newly unveiled Design Language for Web and mobile doesn't lock people into predesigned templates, but it's also much less immediately useful. When you think beautiful design, you think ... IBM
OK, I actually really was a fan of CUA back in the day. But I had to admit I wanted to bite my eyes out while reading the IBM Design Language website: "The IBM Design Language is a set of living guidelines that communicates a brand promise through our products’ experiences.", "Be authentically thoughtful", and many more.

Oh, the fun I could have with that! Imagine what the thing would do if you wrote a VS extension that randomly opened and closed every single file in a project solution, say, 10 times a second?

Quote: One area where I can see the application being useful is for contractor billing, because it provides data on the amount of time spent on specific projects.
Even this seems like an overstatement because of:
Quote: Codealike provides lots of details on what a developer may be doing on a daily basis; however, no developer spends every minute working in their editor, so the "Outside the IDE" numbers may show they are not coding, but it doesn't indicate they were not productive.
At most I could see it having limited utility as an auditing tool; eg if someone claims to've spent 2 hours on project X and 6 on project Y; but this tool shows 3 hours working with X's solution, 2 hours on Y's solution, and 3 hours on the lounge trying to figure out how to baconize CListCtrl it suggests there might be a problem.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

Artificial Intelligence has been in the media a lot lately. So much so that it’s only a matter of time before it graduates to meaningless buzz word status like “big data” and “cloud.” Intelligence, nor artificial?

A matter of time? AI obtained buzzword status in the 80's, if not earlier. At this point, it has several doctorate degrees.
