I would. Cruft is the better part of Perl. 
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?

NVIDIA has announced the release of its Morpheus framework that uses AI to detect and prevent security threats. Unfortunately, no one can be told what the security threats are. You have to see them for yourself.

Despite increasing concern over the intrusion of algorithms in daily life, people may be more willing to trust a computer program than their fellow humans, especially if a task becomes too challenging, according to new research from data scientists at the University of Georgia. I think that I shall never see, a computer that lies as well as thee.
Thee's programs on the other hand...

They clearly haven't heard of HAL9000, Skynet, The Architect, VIKI... or were never asked "Hello Dave, do you want to play a game?"
Or a bit more real stuff like (among others) the autumnal equinox incident.
Computers and algorithms are powerful tools that help us A LOT, no doubt on that.
But the ultimate usefulness or dangerousness of its usage is still something determined by the fellow humans because they are the ones programming the computers / developing the algorithms and we already have had plenty of examples of what they do...
On the other hand, the day that computers go so far that they auto-program themselves... then I really hope we don't come to the point of regretting it, because it will be too late.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Imagine a scenario where you’ve created a web application, be it built with ASP.NET Core or the Uno Platform for WebAssembly, for example, and it’s now time to hand it over to the Operations team so it can be made available to the world. Oh. That's what it's for.

Ingenuity's team is dealing with a 'command sequence issue' with new flight control software. Is that the monthly security patches from Redmond?

A long-standing problem with .NET’s Base Class Library is the inability to separately represent date and time values. As part of .NET 6, the new DateOnly and TimeOnly classes seek to correct this oversight. Oh good - we'll have a new way to deal with time zone and date order problems

Hang on....
Quote: DateOnly and TimeOnly will not be implementing the Serializable attribute. In .NET Core and later, this attribute is considered to be deprecated, as are the serialization libraries that rely on it.
I had completely missed this bit of info.
<grumble> More work that I might have to do.

In future versions of Windows 10, Microsoft has removed the venerable 'Administrative Tools' and added a new 'Windows Tools' control panel with almost double the number of tools promoted within it. You know what would be a great name for that? Control Panel

Software engineers have long faced excruciating interview processes involving unstructured, arbitrary exercises that seem rigged to catch them out. So why are they still putting up with it? "If both survive the lirpa, combat will continue with the ahn woon."
Or at the very least, the fight music.

This blog post contains some useful links for developers who want to stay on the cutting edge of the C# programming language. There's v2.0 features I still haven't bothered with
OK, "How is a page with three links on it news?" Because it's two more links than me just posting a link to the vNext page. /shrug
