All companies, even those with no remote work culture, have had to mandate and effectively manage their employees working from home. Research shows how the workforce is experiencing the shift, and what employees need to stay productive and engaged. The future of work after the COVID-19 pandemic will not be the same. Hmph

The first paragraph says that productivity is down. Is it also suggesting that conducting more video and voice phone calls than usual is an increase in productivity?
(49% of respondents asserted that if they lose their job, their "employer would provide adequate severance terms". This is delusional.)

Modules promise a lot: compile-time improvement, isolation of macros, the abolition of header files, and ugly workarounds. "Get yourself together, man"

Quote: If there is one consensus in the C++ community, it's the following one: we should get rid of the preprocessor macros.
Huh? While preprocessor macros are ugly as heck, and quickly become confusing if nested, how can you accomplish what they do any other way? I wish he had addressed that more deeply, because I seriously doubt such a consensus exists.

I concur with him except for a few things that would need alternatives. See the last section of the article linked in my .sig.
Edit: This refers to the preprocessor, not modules, which I still need to look at to form an opinion as to whether they're useful or just more pedantic bloat.

It talks about the advantages of modules but doesn't actually show how they're used. It just criticizes the status quo, which begs the question.
All it says it that modules have far less overhead than headers, that you don't need separate .h's and .cpp's, and that you define what to export. Wonderful, more boilerplate that adds nothing to functionality. It's probably a PITA to convert existing code but does sound like a plus if used from the start.

if it means not having to recompile the contents of large header flles that are widely #includeded a bazillion times, I'd expect a bigger win than the size of the object files he's griping about would be the speedup in compilation times on larger projects. When you're working on a big project that takes 20 or 30 minutes (or worse) to compile shaving time off the build process seems like a win that'd be worth a lot of time for someone to update the existing code base.

I would assume, perhaps mistakenly, that a decent compiler would compile a header file once and reuse the result when compiling other translation units.
My static analysis tool compiles everything in a single pass after analyzing #include directives. None of this translation unit nonsense. I think this would almost be possible for a true compiler, the preprocessor (which I use sparingly) being the primary exception. But I've got a feeling that I must be overlooking something...

I could be mistaken - I'm definitely not a compiler expert - but I'm pretty sure I read that churning through headers is a big hit for C++ compilation; and that it was a mess due to back compatibility with C which was optimized to fit in the tiny amount of ram on the old low end PDP it was originally developed for not for compilation efficiency and that it ended up stuck with significant tech debt as a result.

Attackers who gain physical access to Windows, Linux, or macOS devices can access and steal data from their hard drives by exploiting 7 vulnerabilities found in Intel's Thunderbolt hardware interface and collectively known as Thunderspy. Between this and the lightning cables - very, very frightening me!
"All the attacker needs is 5 minutes alone with the computer, a screwdriver, and some easily portable hardware."
Yup, another: "If they can do this to your machine, odds are they could get the data through other means." kind of security issue. Still, works on locked machines, so not good. Buy a new computer
