We’ll even solve a real problem on this “computer” that we couldn’t solve as efficiently on a standard computer. A very polarizing article

Before Microsoft delivered the fix, one way to resolve Edge crashing with Google search was to use Microsoft Bing. Resolved: works as designed

Are MS users Betas, or is it a beta? (Not terribly relevant, I know, but made me smile.)

I would already be happy if it were at least betas... but some things they release seem still to be alpha tries

A 17-year-old teenager from Tampa, Florida, has reportedly been arrested over his alleged ‘mastermind’ role in the recent Twitter hack that compromised many high-profile accounts. Someone's going to bed without dessert tonight.

No dessert true, but at least he won't be lonely.

I was under the impression that in prison, time, rather dessert, was served.

"Oh," say the authorities. "Why didn't you say so earlier. You can go."

Read Steve Jobs’ emails about why you can’t buy digital books in Amazon’s apps
In another conversation from April 2010, former Facebook employee Joe Hewitt, who built the first versions of the Facebook iOS app, complained about changes to the iOS 4.0 developer agreement to Apple developer relations lead Ron Okamoto and with the press. Okamoto shared an update on the situation with Jobs, Schiller, and former software head Scott Forstall.
Jobs replied: "I’d suggest we just cut Joe off from now on."

Parno and a team of researchers recently published a new coding language and tool for high-performance concurrent programs that ensures that programs are provably-correct—that is, that the code is mathematically proven to compute correctly. As opposed to just computing as written

Right. That's been around for over 20 years.
"Coq is an interactive theorem prover first released in 1989... It allows for the expression of mathematical assertions, mechanically checks proofs of these assertions, helps to find formal proofs, and extracts a certified program from the constructive proof of its formal specification. ...When viewed as a programming language, Coq implements a dependently typed functional programming language;..."

Cornell Tech researchers identified a problem that holds the key to whether all encryption can be broken—as well as a surprising connection to a mathematical concept that aims to define and measure randomness. Roll D20 for security (and initiative)

Under the premise that there is nothing 100% random in the digital world... then we are screwed about security

Not due until March 2021, next Java upgrade kicks off with support for C++ 14 language features in JDK source code and HotSpot VM "And I do anything for my sweet sixteen"

Funny that the big leap forward is to use C++ features that have been around for, does advanced math, six years!
