Should casually strolling through the front [electronic] door even be called hacking?

319. That’s the number of discrete advertisements, both online and off, served to me over the course of one Tuesday in July. I know because I counted each and every one.

Oracle is advising customers to update their database software following the discovery and disclosure of a critical remote code execution vulnerability. A flaw in an Oracle product? Whaaa?

With DMF, not only can you easily develop simple and structured Windows Driver Framework (WDF) drivers but also share code amongst your drivers. Just in case you have your driver's license

Multi-caret editing, better C++ 11 support, F# 4.5, TypeScript 3.0 support, and so much more The, "I didn't get anything done today, I was installing a new version of VS" Edition.

It fixed a bug I reported (VS Crash when trying to load code from the source server) so I'm happy with it.

The researchers published a study this month detailing a method in which common wifi can be used to easily and efficiently identify weapons, bombs, and explosive chemicals in public spaces that don’t typically have affordable screening options. "It's a b...?!"
I'll let you fill in the rest, Shirley.

Sounds somewhat remarkable (for which read "too good to be true").
Am I missing something here? X-Ray wavelengths are measured in nanometers whereas wi-fi signals have a wavelength of about 12.5cm - so surely it can't be the same approach as the resolution would be so crude that the results would be meaningless if it were using that kind of imaging approach. Kind of like sonar - fine for detecting an oncoming battleship, not quite so good at finding a needle in a haystack.
And then, assuming it does work, weapons (especially bombs) can come in so many different shapes and sizes and be made of different things ... and well, come on! Really???
I'm emphatically not a scientist but I find this a far bigger stretch of the imagination than the claims of room-temperature super-conductivity, cold fusion and perpetual motion machines that usually come along on quiet news days.

We released WebAssembly support in Unity 5.6 as an experimental feature, more or less when it also became available in the four major desktop browsers. Then in 2018.2, Wasm finally replaced asm.js as the default linker target. wawesome news.
Sorry, brain took a day off.

Forget peer pressure, future generations are more likely to be influenced by robots, a study suggests. If the robots asked you to jump off a bridge, would you?

So we are already prepping to blame the robots for meddling with the elections?

Then I need some robots to boss my granddaughters about.
Yeah, right...

Slightly mindful on this, as I would add in studies to check if children are simply more persuaded by outside information in general rather then simply Robot vs Children influences.
If monotone information an influence a child like txt messages.
Another human can give off body language queues that a child might pickup on (the benefit of a few thousand years of evolution priming) which would help a child 2nd guess their persuasion.
Were with a robot, or if added to the study if text on a screen, which gives far less false flag indicators, if a child would be influenced?

Starting today, Amazon and Microsoft will begin rolling out the first integrations between the digital assistants, allowing users to rouse Cortana on Echo devices and conjure Alexa on Windows 10 PCs and Harman Kardon Invoke speakers. At least they didn't go with 'Corxa' or 'Alexana'

Researchers have demonstrated holonomic quantum gates under zero-magnetic field at room temperature, which could enable the realization of fast and fault-tolerant universal quantum computers. Only an Avogadro's number of steps remain
+/- a few

Quote: The paper, published in the journal Nature Communications, reports experimental demonstration of non-adiabatic and non-abelian holonomic quantum gates over a geometric spin qubit on an electron or nitrogen nucleus, which paves the way to realizing a universal quantum computer.
Piece of cake!

To prevent problems from being introduced into new systems, open source governance specialist Sonatype is launching a tool to enable developers to identify and avoid using open source components that have known vulnerabilities. Or just don't grab random code off the internet?

"Open source components that have known vulnerabilities"
