Itanium was extraordinarily backwards incompatible. There's an enormous gulf between "runs software from the 80s" (which is something the PC platform only pretends to do anyway, because peripherals now are incompatible) and "can't run Windows at all". Breaking v8086 mode wouldn't prevent modern Windows from working (which is in fact why this bug wasn't noticed). You can't even enter it from long mode to begin with!
Thanks for the suggestion. So does the IPhone, which I use. But due to particulars, that doesn't work for my situation.
DOSEMU uses virtual 8086 mode but not VME. The Linux kernel never bothered implementing VME.
Uh, Mt. Gox on your resume isn't a good thing. It was a horrible failure that cost a lot of people a lot of money and was revealed to have security practices not suitable for a small business, let alone a financial institution. So no, we shouldn't pay attention to this dime-a-dozen startup because it's Jeb McCaleb.
Even Google abandons their products after a couple of releases. Perhaps better supported than other manufacturers but I'm running 7.1.2 on a Nexus 4 only through Lineage OS.
Of the three parent listed, I think two (Meijer and Hejlsberg) were both DevDiv. Cutler was OS before moving to Xbox of all things, and I think he's at Azure now? It's certainly not only MSR hiring these guys.
And Google doesn't really have a real incentive to fix the situation either. It's not really a "we need to fix this by next year or people will stop buying Android phones!" type of situation. They still make money on ads on Android, whether they are secure or not.

At least if you could adblock mobile ads to stop malvertising, as some already do on the desktop, Google may have had a bigger incentive to fix it. But they removed that incentive a long time ago when they decided adblockers aren't allowed in the store.
I'm negative on marketing fluff. You're free to enjoy it of course.

>> Umm just like how everyone else does it.

Wrong. Their ability to maintain and extend any of those libraries is limited. TensorFlow is hundreds of thousands of lines of code. Google can maintain and extend just fine. I doubt that H2O has the chops. That matters to their clients, because TensorFlow breaks things with new releases, and those clients will want someone to fix it. Do you call H2O? Do they patch Google into the conference line? I'm saying they're not in a position to offer commercial support. Anyone who has worked in enterprise will see the risks here.

>> What does your statement even means?

The algorithms that H2O specializes in do not benefit that much from the massively parallel computation that GPUs offer. If you don't understand the differences in the computation required by neural nets as opposed to random forests, you will not understand my critique. Neural nets offer superior accuracy on many problem sets and often need GPUs. Random forests do neither of those things.

H2O, for most of its long existence, has operated purely on CPUs just fine. But GPUs and deep learning are hot, so they are associating themselves with the buzzwords, even though they are not really in a position to a) build deep learning solutions or b) make their real product perform well on GPUs. Marketing fluff.

>> You mean libraries?

Why yes, I mean libraries. Thanks for clearing that up.

There's a lot of noise in the deep learning and AI space. Watson is one egregious example. H2O is another. While the technology itself is promising, some of the vendors are dubious.
I mean... but you do. You just said that if you keep asking, you end up with a "nihilist" view and descend into meaningless. So your overall philosophy right now is that form of "nihilism". That is, after all, why you do not find the value in asking "why".

I strongly disagree with that and I believe this kind of thinking is not actually as logical or as rational as you were lead to believe, and properly asking the why question and answering it is fairly critical to figuring out what should be done.

> go with the flow

Go with whose flow? You realize that this is just you piggybacking on someone else's answer to the "why" and blindly accepting it without any kind of verification? This should be alarming, not calming.

Really, if someone somewhere was able to answer this question well enough that they could create a "flow" for you to go with, you can do the same.
The interesting part is that humans go through different phases (decades/centuries), where different skills are required: Native Indians in Middle America weren't strong enough to work on the plantations, so Africans were brought in. Today there are probably more Africans living in the Carrebian, since they once made the money to attract a female, make it a wife (marry here, very important for women) and then have a family (kids), which some/most Native Americans maybe didn't achive, since no job/money (and thus no true love ;)
That will protect you from data loss, but not data theft.

As I've grown older (and hopefully wiser) I've taken a position that is a lot more meaningful but with a lot less compensation. I do often think about finances and worry about my retirement, as I have children. But I will say that making a lot of money and wishing you were doing something more with your life is a lot more painful and damaging that doing something worthwhile and wishing you had more money.
I had a co-worker who wanted to drive an Audi but didn't want to be on the hook for keeping it fixed (or getting rid of it) once the warranty ran out. I'm thinking that most current German cars are like that.

It is my opinion that Google does not view Android as simply "an operating system for phones". Android has tremendous application in IoT devices and appliances. The lifecycle of many applications is quite a bit longer than the cell phone.

As we see an increase in the diversity of applications using Android, this upgrade path will be very important. Just wait until you see your first ATM or POS system "Powered By Android ©".

> My pick for year is 1878.

Very funny.

> I guess if you want to go by money, i'm going to pick 1939.

You listed several great films, but I'm not disputing there were years with several great films, that's a completely separate point.

> But really, how do you quantify good? Taste is subjective.

I will concede that if we adopt a radical skepticism towards all aesthetic values then the claim "every year has bad films" collapses.

However, if we agree to make that move... the original claim that "everything in the theater now is terrible" is also false. Or "there's something special (and bad) about the quality of film at this very moment" also collapses.

So I'm good with this move. I accept the gambit.
I don't know what entry level jobs you worked at. Every single entry level job I worked at just taught you how to sign off paper work saying you did procedure A when you hadn't done it months, how palling around with the managers got you whatever shift you wanted, and how to turn a 2 minute trip into the back room into a 30 minutes break. There were some lessons in petty theft as well if you were interested in that. You had to go at least 3 levels of management up to actually find someone who cared about the results of the work, and who wasn't just pulling a paycheck.
Shoving your head in the sand perhaps?

Maybe your life is awesome, but people with chronic depression probably find it hard to just "look on the bright" there way out of it. Kudos to you for being the master of your destiny (honestly), but not everyone has it so easily.

Title could have "... (2008)".

Final report (2011) https://www.atsb.gov.au/media/3532398/ao2008070.pdf conclusion: Although the [flight control primary computer] FCPC algorithm for processing [angle of attack] AOA data was generally very effective, it could not manage a scenario where there were multiple spikes in AOA from one air data inertial reference unit [ADIRU, of which there are three] that were 1.2 seconds apart. The occurrence was the only known example where this design limitation led to a pitch-down command in over 28 million flight hours on A330/A340 aircraft, and the aircraft manufacturer subsequently redesigned the AOA algorithm to prevent the same type of accident from occurring again [...] Each of the intermittent data spikes was probably generated when the
LTN-101 ADIRU's central processor unit (CPU) module combined the data value from one parameter with the label for another parameter. [...] they noticed a NAV IR 1 FAULT
6 caution message on the [electronic centralized aircraft monitor] ECAM [...] the flight crew were unable to enter an
RNAV (GNSS) approach into the flight management computer due to fault messages associated with the Global Positioning
System (GPS) units.

(ie. probable source = software in Northrop Grumman designed ADIRU unit, real apparent cause = low level language off by one / bounds checking error in control software within Northrop Grumman designed ADIRU unit, fault interactions = significant and undocumented/untrained, handling = issue apparently detected early but not responded to with a process that adequately constrained the impact, potential impact = mass casualty.)

Potential fixes:

(1) Ban the use of low level languages with manual memory management for safety critical systems, even those supplied by third parties.

(2) Enforce more draconian levels of testing on safety critical systems.

(3) Review the flight control system's algorithms and have it ignore by default one spurious input from the set of 3x live ADIRU units, if 2xADIRU concur and 1xADIRU is providing disparate data.

(4) Review the available responses / handling processes for obscure errors presented to pilots which may result in undocumented/untested/rare flight control system states.

(5) Critically review the interaction between ADIRU and GPS sources of positioning data within the flight control system in the event of module failure or abnormal data output.

The ADIRU in question is a product of Northrop Grumman, not Airbus, and is pictured on page 33 of the report. This fact probably influenced the testing regime designed and executed against the component and its assumed failure modes. Later in the report it is revealed that only some Airbus A330s use the Northrop Grumman ADIRUs: Airbus advised that
at the end of 2008, there were about 900 A330/A340 aircraft in operation, and 397 had Northrop Grumman LTN101 ADIRUs.

I've been working on learning spanish for a while and this looks super helpful - thanks for creating and sharing it! It would also be sweet if you could add an example of the verb used in a sentence after you've submitted your answer/guess, and then maybe a button to see that example sentence translated back to english. That would be a lot, but just a thought.
It's a tough nut to crack. Open source contributors tend to want to dive in and make the one patch they want without engaging in any design or feedback process. Installing that process means someone has to take up managerial duties. Most projects stumble along with a "one coder army" who expedites these processes by assuming anything they can't do on their lonesome is out of scope, and all feedback, patches or design ideas are strictly suggestion. Switching to a team management approach when a project gets big is a big source of friction since it's rare to have a strong solo dev who is equally capable at giving up direct control and delegating. Usage of a project is often mismatched with development energy, creating unbalanced workloads.

So the tendency ends up being that a lot of projects just stay small and go out of their way not to grow, even when they address a problem that demands more scope than they have.

My suggestion given all of that is to not give up, but focus your design energies on the inspirational: if you produce mockups and prototypes that are hugely compelling, someone will come out of the woodwork to realize some of them: you may not know which ones or when, but you're giving them footholds in approaching the problem.
Why is a settlement even allowed? If I tried walking out of Walmart with nothing more than an unpaid TV under the arm I'm looking at criminal charges. If someone drove away with a truck with 10000 TVs for Walmart (midrange, USD 400 each) and got caught they will look at a lengthy stay in prison.

But SpaceX gets to settle. They need a dedicated prison-goer, like the Yakuza have. This kind of misbehaviour is what criminal charges (as opposed to civil charges) are designed for.

That's completely true, it's just cheaper to send the same check out to everyone than pay for the administrative costs to figure out who gets the check that week.
I disagree. It's not that the GP isn't being compassionate or understanding their perspective. They're describing why automation is more appealing to a large company and why this change is taking place. That said, the change will likely be met with the same response that similar changes have come with: people won't be out of jobs, the job market will change. Programming jobs will become more common, for example. Minimum wage jobs will turn into more conventional jobs/push more people into the software industry. It's sad that they're losing their jobs now, but the hope is that this will elevate them in society and give them new opportunities (which in the past has proven to be the case, luckily).

No-platform is a policy within certain organizations of refusing to provide a platform to, or share a platform with certain other individuals and groups. It only becomes a freedom of speech issue if the organization adopting the policy is a government or holds a monopoly on a certain kind of platform.

Lobbying universities to not invite, or to rescind invitations from certain people is a bit different. Universities aren't obligated to provide a platform to everyone who might want one. They're educational institutions and probably shouldn't invite speakers whom a majority of their students find offensive unless there's substantial educational value in doing so.

Apart from the invididual victims, ransomware seems like it should have a good effect on computer security overall since it actually harms the people who get infected and motivates them to do security better. Most viruses keep quiet so people don't know or care if they're infected and contributing to DDOSs or spreading to others. I sometimes use computers that have obvious viruses on them, and it the people running them just let it happen because it doesn't stop their work.
The article was only just published though, so it's a current article about something that happened some years ago, I think that's ok?

If that's the case that's fine, but then my question is why are these computers networked to any extranet source? It seems a natural conflict: you cannot update the system due to it being so important that it always works, yet we need to attach it to an outside network which allows risk of infection. In my opinion, if the computer HAS to be connected to a network that is accessible from outside, then it MUST be allowed to be updated with latest antivirus/protection updates.

Having a psychotic break is one facet of mental illness but it's not universal to all people who struggle with being non-neurotypical. And it's almost always possible to call upon a more extreme and more harrowing example to overtop another, but it's not worth it. What is served by diminishing the suffering and struggle of others? What is served by trying to sort hardship on a scale? It's not a competition or a race. There's no advantage to trying to prevent wider acceptance of the commonality of mental illness nor to trying to block compassion towards others who are just trying to figure out how to live their lives.

One potential side benefit of this type of work: vendor kernel drivers tend to be insecure buggy pieces of crap. Vendor Treble drivers will surely still be insecure buggy pieces of crap, but they might be sandboxable. If Google really has its eyes on the Magenta kernel, I imagine that Treble will be runnable in user mode, so I bet it really will be sandboxed. This would be a huge win.

Honestly, very rarely. Interfaces have been far more useful to me in my career, as far as major OO concepts go. If I'm extending, it's usually because someone brought in a new requirement after a products launch that requires very similar, but not quite the same, behavior as existing work. For example, we process data feed A already, and data feed B will be very similar. Rather than modifying the existing A processor, its often easier to lift out an abstract parent class and implement A and B as extensions of it. I almost never find myself extending concrete classes.
