Google sets up feedback loop in its image recognition neural network - which looks for patterns in pictures - creating hallucinatory images of animals, buildings and landscapes which veer from beautiful to terrifying "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe..."

That's cool. I was intrigued by how it associates an arm with a dumbell when asked to look for one.

IoT, with its tiny screens & headless devices, will drive an authentication revolution. It's a short leap from the kind of two-factor authentication used on the Apple Watch to proximity-based authentication that does away with any user interaction. Passwords are just the canary in the coalmine. Whatever it takes

The team behind Microsoft Edge has been working hard to make sure their new browser engine will be able to properly, reliably, and quickly render web pages as best as possible. If this goes through, someone better send Lucifer a snow shovel.

As of the last public build, their HTML5 test score of ~400 was where Chrome sat in early 2013 or Firefox was in mid 2013. They've made up a lot of ground, and are actually ahead of the competition in a few areas, but are still playing catchup. Supposedly they've got a largish batch of html5 form controls almost ready to go that just missed the last win10 preview; but they'd need a few more similarly large surges to actually catch up with Firefox, nevermind Chrome. OTOH Edge does score slightly better than Safari for desktop. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

I can't imagine the nightmare that must be code for rendering HTML.

All things considered, rendering valid HTML shouldn't be that bad. The problem is also guessing how to render every bit of screwed up invalid html that the clueless have vomited onto the net over the last 20+ years. I'm not saying that trying to do that successfully is a hard problem, but if you want to know what tears from dinosaur era web browser developers look like I might suggest studying a few of the larger puddles they left behind. Places with names like Atlantic or Pacific come to mind for some reason.

Microsoft’s C# programming language first appeared in 2000, over 15 years ago, that’s a long time in tech. Soon we'll be forced to ration compile time, and only the rich will be able to use long LINQ statements

That is about as stupid as saying c++ has peaked.
(my opinion) In reality, more experienced c# developers exist, with less need to get answers to questions from tech sites.
The job market for C# fluctuates and is still the number 2 language in my area next to Java.

IMHO, the peak will move higher over time. In effect, the peak, at any point of time, will be quite lofty for a sizeable proportion of programmers.
