Has Windows 11 Cortana (or the smart Clippy or something like that)?

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

To talk about C++’s current safety problems and solutions well, I need to include the context of the broad landscape of security and safety threats facing all software. C+=safety

Sorry, C and C++ can never be type safe languages.
- Buffer overruns will always be possible when using null terminated buffers.
- Use after Free errors for objects will always be a possibility without a run time enforced memory allocation and garbage collection.
Is it possible to write provably memory safe code in C and C++? The answer is Yes, but only in a very small subset of use cases where all the dynamic memory is allocated at program startup and never deallocated. Stack based variables are generally safe as long as they don't point to memory that wasn't allocated at startup.
Mr. Sutter ignores the fact that nearly 90% of exploited vulnerabilities actually stem from memory management errors. The chart in his article shows this as well.

Yeah, I think he's just feeling stuck after n^2 years of being in the C++ space. So, he feels the need to try to make do with what he's got.

I used 1.0 on my xt pc. Ran Aldus Pagemaker on it - yes I did. DesqView ultimatly won out and remained the victor until windows 3.0 came out.

I didn't know those even existed... I jumped from Spektrum 128k (DOS) to Windows 3.11 (actually was my brother PC) and Win 95

I started with Windows 286 with Word. (Word for DOS was horrific.)

Damn! I used to have the source code for Word 1.0 laying around somewhere. Now I have to go see if I still have it.

Damn, I would have reported this as spam if it weren't for the very modern, graphics card chowing look.

JetBrains has unbundled its AI Assistant from the IDE, in a new beta of IntelliJ IDEA, which is also the basis for many other developer tools. Back to natural intelligence

Bad radio propagation means Googlers are making do with Ethernet cables, phone hotspots. Maybe they should Google 'wave interference'?

At the heart of AI, matrix math has just seen its biggest boost "in more than a decade.” Unfortunately, no one can be told what the multiplication method is. You have to discover it for yourself.

The European Commission, the regulatory body of the European Union that frequently launches investigations of major tech companies, including Microsoft, now finds itself on the other side of this fence. Who will fine the finers?
