A new software system helps robots to more effectively act on instructions from people, who by nature give commands that range from simple and straightforward to those that are more complex and imply a myriad of subtasks. So, it will open the pod bay doors?

This post was born out of my frustration with names as identifiers, and in particular, the rigidness of once chosen names in a field as malleable as software development. "An individual's thoughts and actions are determined by the language or languages that individual speaks."

I don't think determined is the correct word, but certainly limited or influenced.

But Mr Turnbull said Australian law would prevail over the laws of mathematics.
He told journalists: "The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia."

Skeet's knows his limitations where the general public or his colleagues are unaware; they see him as a programming guru. I don't think of him as an imposter, but humble and someone that works hard to carry his mantle. He probably sees himself as not good enough and continues to improve; which is what has made him successful.
I've worked with many people who mimic things other people say, use buzzwords that don't make sense, and continually try to promote themselves on anything they've accomplished. To me, these people are the true imposters and I'll take the humble person over them any day of the week.

Hmpf, me thought "Impostor Syndrome" was someone pretending to be something they know they're not, not fear of being less than they really are. But, I guess what I'm talking about is more akin to narcissism. Which pretty much describes RD.

Cats are some of the most photogenic animals on the planet, except for when those photos are generated by artificial intelligences. Then, the cute and cuddly creatures become creepy, nightmare cats. OK, this is how you stop AI from taking over the world - get them addicted to cats (next up: cat videos)

So we're back to having cats take over the world? Or are they just taking steps to consolidate their power?

Forget what you know about how faster development increases risk. If your approach to security is slowing you down, it’s only a question of which you’ll lose faster — your data or your customers. Yeah, don't bother with that security stuff

Of the Technical Specifications (TSes) heading into C++20 the following are ready to go and there is already interest at the Toronto meeting to either merge various TSes into the C++20 draft, or advance them to their next stage in the TS. (maybe) Coming (not very) soon to a compiler near you

Stanford Graduate School of Business professor Nicholas Bloom says requiring employees to be in the office is an outdated work tradition, set up during the Industrial Revolution. That commute though? Brutal.
