Tom Lehrer's updated Christmas carols:
🎵🎵
Hark, the Herald Tribune sings, advertising wondrous things!
God rest ye merry merchants, may ye make the Yuletide pay!
Angels we have heard on high, tell us to go out and buy!
🎵🎵
(From An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer[^])
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Can't stop what I haven't started.
My wife was cyber-shopping yesterday for our daughter, but that was the extent of it.
No Black Friday shopping, no Small Business Saturday shopping - she was at a craft fair selling her homemade products (soaps, bath salts, lotions, etc)

Researchers detect barrage of exploits targeting potentially millions of devices. The good news? It closes the port targeted (to keep others from exploiting)

Don't worry, where I live TimeWarner/Spectrum "patched" my cable modem/router with buggy software. And denies it's buggy. Hurray!

C++/WinRT is a standard C++ language projection for the Windows Runtime implemented solely in header files. Because it's not the managed extensions

Quote: [...] consume Windows Runtime APIs using any standards-compliant C++ compiler.
Maybe it's a marketing move from Microsoft to announce they are finally releasing one?
More seriously: that's good news for C++ developers who may have to change architecture and used OS soon. Like me.

Quote: Listen, lad. I've built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. All the kings said I was daft to build a castle in a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. An' that's what your gonna get, lad -- the strongest castle in these islands.
Edit: On farther thought, how many C++.NyET implementations has MS done? I know they've done at least two years ago, but that leaves the question of if this is the one that burned, fell over, and then sank into the swamp, or the strongest one in the land.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

A team of researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) have created a deep-learning algorithm that is able to generate its own videos and predict the future of a video based on a single frame. AI is coming for the cat videos

That really weirds me out. I don't know why. It just does.

Perhaps its because it may catch a screen from a certain Aussie.. and CodeProject will be known as "Farrrrking Elephant!"

It is not as bad as the title suggests.
The algorithm didn't teach itself, it is not sentient, and though it is possible to guess a second frame, that is a huge leap to "predicting what happens in video".

If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

"Algorithm gathers statistics about how pixels change over time in typical video fragments, extrapolates to new frames, uses some tricks to avoid common bad looking extrapolations"
But then it loses the click bait value, can't have that

I wonder how soon AIs will be able to design their own neural networks. I want to be able to identify "insert subject" in pictures and videos.
Set up a network and feed it googled images and videos and sort of verify the results. Or at least a tool for you to pick an object or subject, add searches, and links and it pops out a working program/network.
It's all happening too fast, I'm just sitting here writing cout<<"hello world"<

I'm sure it can also predict an entire movie or TV show season based just on the title.
(Also do note that predicting and having the prediction be right are different things. I just wrote a script that can predict what the stock market will do tomorrow. I'd advise not actually using it for investment purposes.)

We’ve focused our improvements in three main areas where we know most developers spend their time: code editing, navigation and debugging. "Harder, better, faster, stronger"
"Many of you tell us that you spend much of your time working with large existing bodies of code. " Oh, they're adorable, aren't they?

FTFY: most developers spend their time
restarting it after it crashes.

Usually because they tried to use copy and paste with it.

VS2017 in 2016!?
The world's truly coming to an end

At least the naming change speaks of a possible release next year.
Good to know for those thinking about buying a license.
A proper road map would be better, of course.

When their crappy XAML thingy stops crashing every even minute I will move onwards from VS2008.

Better solution: don't use XAML.
|
|
|
|
|
And use what instead?
i cri evry tiem
|
|
|
|
|
The longer quip: don't work on any project requiring XAML.
|
|
|
|
|
Forms, as they are the only sane and mature technology. In fact I usually avoid XAML - only a copule of projects of my colleagues use WPF, and they were more of learning projects cobbled together with copy-paste of CP with little if any understanding. And VS that crashes. On developement machines with 1 or 2 GB of RAM (yes that is our equipment. Please don't laugh).
