In higher education, AI should be a human-centered tool inside a curriculum that expects more from students, not less.

Linked is a great article about how higher ed (and maybe all ed) has to incorporate AI fully into teaching and not try to pretend it doesn't exist.

A brief history of C/C++ programming languages

A brief history of C/C++ programming languages

Source: lemire.me

Initially, we had languages like Fortran (1957), Pascal (1970), and C (1972). Fortran was designed for number crunching and scientific computing. Pascal was restrictive with respect to low-level access (it was deliberately "safe", as meant for teaching structured programming). So C won out as a language that allowed low-level/unsafe programming (pointer arithmetic, direct memory access) … Continue reading A brief history of C/C++ programming languages
