The C++/WinRT project creates these language projections in standard C++ code. Using C++/WinRT previously required that you clone their repo from GitHub. C++/WinRT is now included in build 17025 of the Windows SDK Insider Preview. Maybe a BFD, but FYI

By manipulating a few pixels in an image, you can trick a neural network—even one that's great at recognizing cats, and is trained on hundreds or thousands of images of felines—into thinking that it's looking at something completely different. But was it a turtle with a gun?
Never trust those chelonian bastards!
Unless they're carrying elephants.

As part of the series of posts announced at this initial blog post (.NET Application Architecture Guidance) that explores each of the architecture areas currently covered by our team, this current blog post focuses on introducing the new “Modernize existing .NET applications with Windows Containers and Azure” eBook which you can download here. It's entirely a coincidence that "modernizing" means "pay to win"

Researchers have used muon detectors to discover a mysterious, 30-metre-long space — which could help to reveal how the 4,500-year-old monument was built. They finally found the control room?

From a different article:
Muons are produced when the cosmic rays that permeate our Universe and pummel our atmosphere break down — creating a kind of subatomic confetti that rains down on Earth at almost the speed of light. These particles drift through air more easily than they pass through solid objects like stone.
I can just imagine how the people who think the pyramids were built by extra-terrestrials must be loving the idea that cosmic rays from the universe are being used to "see into" the pyramid.

The IBM Cloud Private solution enables companies to build on-premises cloud capabilities similar to public clouds, and accelerate app development. Is it called, "a server rack"?

Fixed up above, and on the newsletter. Hopefully that means the redirect will go to the right place now.
Sorry about that.

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?

Passwords are fundamental to modern life, both at home and at work. In the workplace, the security of passwords is paramount, and ensuring that employees are taking matters seriously is an important part of safeguarding any business. Mental note: invest in yellow stickies

It really is a burden...
Article says: ...that even in a 250-employee company, there are an average of 53,250 passwords in use -- a near-impossible number to keep track of and to know the strength of. LastPass found that people have nearly 200 passwords to remember, so it's little wonder that password reuse is an issue.

We do things similar same, same, but different in our office. We're conservationists; so that means 1 piece of paper for passwords, neatly folded, and placed under the keep board for safe keeping.

As the researchers note, they were trying to synthesize a type of glowing nanomaterial when they found they had created something else—a type of invisible ink that could be made visible on demand, and then made invisible again. Just wait until Big Lemon Juice suppresses this research
