A bipartisan group of senators has introduced the AMERICA Act (Advertising Middlemen Endangering Rigorous Internet Competition Accountability — yes, it's overwrought) with the intention of breaking up the ad businesses of tech giants like Google and Meta. Sidebar ads would be sold separately from banner ads
They really worked to make that acronym work, didn't they?

Did they just thought on a second that the ads are not the problem per se? They should break up the data slurping on the back of the users even if they don't want to.

No more than they considered that the US should have a real data privacy law instead of trying to find ways to ban tiktok.
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?

Panoramic Software's Charles Scalfani on the benefits we could reap from changing how we write software Most of my code is barely functional
Did someone tell the goto that it's been killed?

I suppose they have used the same guy that had to tell C, C++ and VB6 that they are killed too.

The vulnerability could let attackers hijack network traffic; iOS, Linux, and Android devices may be affected. How did Windows manage to duck this one?
Or was it already exploited and fixed?

A new major revision of the C language standard, C23, is due out this year. We'll tour the highs and lows of the latest draft and then drill down on the mother of all breaking changes. "Fire, I'll take you to burn"

a=malloc(...) then b=malloc(...) then if (a<b)... is a recipe for conflagration, and it's impossible to implement the standard memmove() function efficiently in standard C.
Pointers to free'd memory are akin to uninitialized pointers, so free(p) followed by if (p==q) is an instrument of arson. Things need not be so.
None of these criticisms make any sense at all for anyone who actually knows how to program in C and what a pointer is.
Developers should also note that C23 has drifted further from C++ than the earlier C standards. The notion that C is (mostly) a subset of C++ is further from reality than ever before. It was wrong before, it became wronger and wronger as C++ evolved in its own direction. C ha nothing to do with that.
The entire article has been written by someone who shouldn't work with C in the first place.

The new file limit means you can't actually use the storage you buy from Google. 30TB, or 5 million files, whichever comes first
People have more than 5 million files. What are they doing? Storing their node_modules folders there?

The company looks at things like how likely you are to interact with a user in the future and what communities and tweets are trending. Now you can create your own
"author_is_elon",
candidate =>
candidate
.getOrElse(AuthorIdFeature, None).contains(candidate.getOrElse(DDGStatsElonFeature, 0L))),
Of course that's in the big-big-big switch statement.  Along with "is_democrat", and "is_republican". I wonder what they do for non-'Merkans?

A new report from SlashNext shows that 43 percent of employees were found to have been the target of a work-related phishing attack on their personal devices. They're just trying for a work-life balance

That's exactly why I totally refuse to do any kind of work on my personal devices. It's a perfect excuse to not have the personal time impounded by the company.
