With Web Bluetooth, any Bluetooth Low Energy device—think smart lightbulbs, appliances, health monitors, door locks, and more—will be able to connect to the web through your browser. OK, who thought this was a good idea?
And how do we keep them away from everything?

I think I'll start investing in antique stores selling mechanical door locks, dumb lightbulbs and appliances.

What's that, Grandpa? A door which cannot be opened with a smart phone? How can you open it at all?

We won't need door locks. We wont need possessions other than a smart phone and a VR headset, and we can all live in one of those little pods as we can get all the space and possessions we need in our VR world, where we can live in our VR house and travel to our VR workplace without moving. We can walk our VR pets and well I guess we can't [or at leasts shouldn't aspire to have] have VR WC's.
God that's depressing.

You forgot moving in with your VR wife and having VR kids. Ultimately, humanity will die off and save the planet.
JavaScript gives you a false sense of safety. It's like riding a bike with those little side wheels and then riding head first into a ravine.

I was given one of those video doorbell by my in-laws, as they had upgraded to a newer model. I installed it and got it connected and all was well...until the first power outage and it was not able to reconnect to the wifi! Solution: remove the outside unit from the mounting bracket (2 special screws) to be able to press the button on the back and go through the steps to get it reconnected. Life used to be a lot simpler!

 Curious about the screen name. Musician?..or does the midi mean something else?

With C++11 we got the possibility to define our own suffixes. They can be applied to integer, floating point, character and string literals of any flavor. Literally the best new feature
Yet another way that you can make your C++ code look like "not C++" code.

One of those features that is great when done right, but can be super confusing if not. I added custom suffixes in some recent code and then took them out when I found myself repeatedly looking at the header to remind myself what they were (they can be comparable to excessive abbreviations.)
For time, though, they are awesome: 1s or 100ms.

Yeah, I was thinking of saying, "Please read the 'A word of caution' five times first" with this one. I see it being useful in some cases, but hella-confusing in most (like his string example at the bottom of the article).

That string example looks just fine to me, but relies on a couple of other features introduced. Compared to the alternative it replaces (listed above), it offers a damn sight more expressiveness without runtime cost - exactly what I expect from new C++ features.

Researchers Martin Abadi and David Andersen demonstrated that neural networks can devise a simple encryption technique using machine learning. Oh great. Now SkyNet can talk about us behind our backs.
Or in front, as it's encrypted.

Yes, but can they invent their own decryption?

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a system that teaches people Morse code within four hours using a series of vibrations felt near the ear. So you'll be ready when the pony express shuts down

That was a timely bit of research then.
