They went inside unprotected computers to remove the threat And I'm sure that's all they're doing

This release continues a theme of developer productivity and convenience. We’ve added C++20 ranges, IntelliSense completions, and new features for testing, Docker tooling enhancements, and Git integration! I still haven't finished downloading the last one

This should come as no surprise, but that actually sounds like music I sometimes listen to 
It's not really my genre, so I have no ready examples, but it's sometimes called dark ambient

Quote: To explore the structure of these kinds of webs, the team housed a tropical tent-web spider (Cyrtophora citricola) in a rectangular enclosure, and waited for it to fill the space with a three-dimensional web. Then they used a sheet laser to illuminate and create high-definition images of 2D cross-sections of the web.
A specially developed algorithm then pieced together the 3D architecture of the web from these 2D cross sections. To turn this into music, different sound frequencies were allocated to different strands. The notes thus generated were played in patterns based on the web's structure.
If they did it based on resonant frequencies of the length and mesh, then yeah, maybe it gives some insight. But it doesn't say it did that, so it sounds like it is just random sounds.

On Monday, the Perl Core developer known as Sawyer X announced his intention to leave the three-person Perl Steering Committee, or Council, and the Perl Core group because of what he described as community hostility. Cruft isn't quite the word I'd use to describe perl
(but it's close)

If a programming language is nothing but cruft, wouldn't saying it "contained" cruft be at least misleading?
|
|
|
|
|
It's so crufty that its cruft contains cruft?

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.

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
