The C++17 standard is taking shape and adding new features to the vintage programming language. This major update aims to make C++ an easier language to work with and brings powerful technical specifications. I f you are fond of the relatively newer programming languages like Apple’s Swift, you might be too comfortable calling C++ a bloated programming language. To tackle such questions and improve the support for large-scale software, C++17 is expected to ship in 2017.At the recent standards meeting in Oulu, Finland, the actual and final features list of C++ has been finalised. As a result, C++17 has become a major release just like C++98 and C++11. The new C++ 17 standards are introducing new features like structured bindings and if initialisers, making this vintage programming language “feature complete”.

Man says Tesla Autopilot saved his life by driving him to the hospital While we were all dissing Tesla for the death of a car owner due to Tesla’s autopilot, there is some good news from another part of United States. A Tesla owner from Missouri man says that the Tesla Autopilot helped saved his life by driving him to the hospital during a life-threatening emergency. Joshua Neally is a lawyer and Tesla owner from Springfield, Missouri, who often uses the semi-autonomous driving system called Autopilot on his Tesla Model X. One fine day, when Neally was driving his Tesla Model X, he developed a potentially fatal blood vessel blockage in his lung. The disease is called pulmonary embolism and could have taken his life but for Tesla’s autopilot. Neally told Slate that Autopilot drove him 20 miles down a freeway to a hospital. The hospital was right off the freeway exit, and Neally was able to steer the car the last few meters and check himself into the emergenc...

The flaw, which allows a malicious website to extract user passwords, is made worse if a user is logged in with a Microsoft account. A previously disclosed flaw in Windows can allow an attacker to steal usernames and passwords of any signed-in user — simply by tricking a user into visiting a malicious website. But now a new proof-of-exploit shows just how easy it is to steal someone’s credentials. The flaw is widely known, and it’s said to be almost 20 years old. It was allegedly found in 1997 by Aaron Spangler and was most recently resurfaced by researchers in 2015 at Black Hat, an annual security and hacking conference in Las Vegas. The flaw wasn’t considered a major issue until Windows 8 began allowing users to sign into their Microsoft accounts — which links their Xbox, Hotmail and Outlook, Office, and Skype accounts, among others. Overnight, the attack got larger in scope, and now it allows an attacker to conduct a full takeover of a Microsoft account.

Having a hole anywhere on a plane seems a terrible idea, so why there is a tiny gap in the windows? The experts explain the crucial role they play If you’ve ever stared out the window as your plane takes off, you will have seen a tiny hole in your window. At first, it may seem like a weird addition, especially in something that’s carrying a lot of people at a great height, but they’re there for a very important reason: to stop the cabin from depressurizing. ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads Cruising at 10,600 meters (35,000 feet), the pressure is around 1.5 kilograms (3.3 pounds) per square inch. This is too low for the human body to stay conscious, so the pressure is artificially maintained at around 3.5 kilograms (8 pounds) per square inch. But of course, if you increase pressure inside, the structure has to be strong to hold the difference between the external pressure and internal pressure. The difference between the two puts physical stress on the w...

Top 5 IT Security Certifications To Enhance Your Career While not having an IT security certification doesn’t disqualify you from getting a job offer or promotion, but prospective employers looking for industry-leading credentials look at it as one measure of qualifications and commitment to quality. As the market for information security talent heats up and the skills shortage continues, infosec experts who have the right combination of credentials and experience are in remarkably high demand. “A certification today is like a college degree,” says Grady Summers, America’s leader for information security program management services at Ernst & Young. “You may not hire a candidate just because they have one, but it is something that you come to expect in this field.” “There is no replacement for real-world experience,” Summers says. “However, certifications are important and have become de facto minimum criteria when screening resumes.” Here is a list of top fi...

To solve the problem of high energy consumption by the Wi-Fi enabled devices, researchers have created a new kind of efficient Wi-Fi that uses 10,000 times less power. While this technology needs some time before it’s applied in the devices, it could be the next big thing in communication technology. Y ou might have noticed that using Wi-Fi on phones sucks the battery way too faster. To address this issue, a team of researchers from the University of Washington has developed a new type of super-efficient Wi-Fi that allows consumers to use the internet by using 10,000 times less power than the current Wi-Fi components.This breakthrough can allow the technology companies to integrate Wi-Fi networking into more devices. At the upcoming USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation, the team will be presenting a paper with the results of research. So, how did the researchers do it? Basically, Wi-Fi transmission involves digital an...

Reader scores shonky NetWare support job where he had to share monitors This week, reader Earl tells us that just this year he responded to a Craigslist ad for a Novell NetWare Admin to figure out why .nlm files would not be loaded and fix the issue. Earl says he wrote back and told the person that I was very expensive and I had not worked with NetWare since 2003, but if they do not find anyone else to take the job they should give me a call. Earl was just 90 minutes away by train and got the gig. Said server was a Dell PowerEdge 1300 with 64MB of RAM and a 10GB IDE hard drive. I was told they ‘should’ be able to boot up but no one could remember why they had even bothered to get a ‘new’ server at all. Earl quickly found the problem, namely an ancient surge protector more than a decade beyond its warranty. The text above is a summary, you can read full article here .

Tech companies hold the keys to some of our most personal information — payment details, health records, chat logs with our lovers and archives of family photos — and, as we hand over more and more private data, it becomes increasingly important that companies earn our trust by keeping it secure. Over the past five years, most major tech companies have instituted bug bounty programs, welcoming vulnerability reports from hackers and reimbursing for reports in cash. Companies that don’t have the technical expertise to run their own bounty programs have outsourced this important security work to outside firms. But for years, Apple remained a holdout. While security has been a crucial part of its corporate narrative, Apple has quietly refused to pay for bug reports, at times frustrating security researchers who found it difficult to report flaws to the company. That changed today, as Apple’s head of security engineering and architecture, Ivan Krstic, announced to Black H...

The one thing you never hear in Silicon Valley is an entrepreneur admit they copied someone else. Yet there in the headquarters of Facebook, the world’s most prolific product cloner, Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom surprised me. He’d just walked me through the demo of Instagram Stories, a pixel for pixel photocopy of Snapchat Stories . The products look so similar I couldn’t help but chuckle as he progressed through the slide deck about a feature he said would probably look familiar. For 30 minutes, the elephant lingered there in Systrom’s plush office alongside Instagram’s PR chief and me. We sat around a table made from a print of a shaggy dog, the first photo ever posted on the app. Six years later, Systrom revealed how for the last six days, he’d posted nothing to Instagram. Despite the glamorous life of a CEO who’d sold his startup for nearly a billion dollars, his day-to-day wasn’t interesting enough to share to Instagram’s feed. It was a permanent place where...
