### Don’t miss the latest episode of the DevNews podcast! 👀


{% podcast https://dev.to/devnews/s1-e7-google-s-carbon-footprint-nvidia-s-arm-acquisition-tiktok-s-algorithm-and-c-20 %}

### **In this episode, my co-host [Saron](https://dev.to/saronyitbarek) and I chatted about several news stories in the world of software development**: 

- **A big update for C++**. C++ got its first major update since C++11 (circa 2017): C++20! C++ releases every three years, so this is a big development. 
- **Changes at TikTok**. ByteDance (TikTok's parent company) is going to spin off TikTok to a new U.S.-based company where TikTok will be a "trusted technology" partner and Oracle will be a major stakeholder. Tiktok _also_ made good on a promise to explain more about the inner-workings of its algorithm .  
- **Nvidia's purchase of ARM** ... for the cool price of $40 Billion USD. 

**Saron and I also caught up with our rotating co-host and Senior Engineer at [Forem](https://www.forem.com/), [Vaidehi Joshi](dev.to/vaidehijoshji)** who spoke with us about the environmental impact of the large data centers where cloud providers store data. Fun fact: [Vaidehi also spoke about this topic at CodeLand:Distributed2020](https://dev.to/vaidehijoshi/the-cost-of-data-with-vaidehi-joshi-1mhi)!
