Can an organization that pretty much eliminated their QA department have the intelligence to think that far ahead? I doubt it.

Modernes C++[^]:
Designated initialization is an extension of aggregate initialization and empowers you to directly initialize the members of a class type using their names.

Are they the ones that drive you to the bar if you're already too drunk?

Even with all the size and age of C++, it amazes me when it just gets a feature common to many other languages.

Yes, I'm sheltered.

Venture Beat[^]:
As voice assistants like Google Assistant and Alexa increasingly make their way into internet of things devices, it’s becoming harder to track when audio recordings are sent to the cloud and who might gain access to them.

Sorry, ran out of ideas a the end.

So...
at one side the big players and their data slurping
at the other side government agencies and their data slurping
one side more is occupied by the hackers and their data slurping
and the last one by scammers and other parasits...

and in the middle of all that sh1t, we, the users.

I start thinking that a global EMP could be a good idea.

Nah, I just like to feel like I'm doing this for a reason. Shouting to the clouds isn't my kind of thing.

I wonder if I could convince Chris to switch over to a "per click" model. Cat pictures and listicles forEVAH!

Ugh, no. I couldn't do that to myself.
