Oh look, a negative and insulting article on Russia in America's newspaper of record on the eve of the nation honouring its troops. What a surprise.
A central entity is not necessary to the argument. It's not a conspiracy for the consolidation of power, it's the Monopoly of the Use of Force in a Geographic Region.

That force can be sold for a very high price to individuals, and corporations. In fact C.E.O.s have a fiduciary responsibility to exploit this power imbalance in any way they can, so their hands are a bit forced to play ball.

10 Common Java Interview Coding Questions and Answers
Verification and synthesis are the pain points. Projects revolve around them not the design. In HW, the design of each module itself is usually pretty conservative. We are a conservative bunch remember! But it's feature creep that crams in more and more modules to handle the variety of ways a single SoC can be applied to multiple markets.

The end result is multiple clock domains and buses going everywhere, multiple RAM modules, lots of different clock gating options to shut down parts of the system not in use. Etc.

When I look at a large design, I don't worry about the design effort. The first thing that comes to mind is the verification effort. You spend about four times or more the amount of effort verifying the design because you cannot afford any mistakes. That effort is building everything around the ports of a design that makes it thoroughly verifiable. The stimulus is constrained randomly generated transactions on every input to the design and checkers of every output. Coverage determines whether the random transactions have covered every case. And it not just every combination of inputs. Every module has state internally: you have to cover every possible state transition.

One of the older guys at my old company joked that: These days the design is done by the verification team.

The behavior of the design is modeled by the verification engineer so they can detect when the design has a bug. Often the verification team is working with an empty stub because they get ahead of the design team. It gets to the extreme case of the verification team telling the design team how to write everything.
They undoubtedly make enough money on the sale of licensing to new devices that standalone installs are an afterthought, and the income from new device licensing means that supporting "older" devices (while continuing to keep the OS fresh) is trivial, cost-wise.
Where does the saving come from if they still require a driver? From the article, it sounds like the biggest gain is probably in hiring. Possibly also additional savings in fewer accidents. (lower overall fatigue)
Sure. But programming languages whose claim to utility lies in an IDE -- they aren't necessarily bad, but it's not a programming language you're selling me, it's a whole environment: MS Visual Studio or whatever. A complex language requires lots of tooling like that, and a simple language doesn't. I have never missed autocompletion in Javascript, but I cannot function without IDE support in Scala. We're off the topic of OO in Javascript, but I wanted to make the point that I don't automatically consider that "IDEs can autocomplete" is a positive feature -- if you need autocomplete, that's a problem.
Reusing the session key implies that the client already knows the shared secret. Sure, if a client goes through his work-place, ssl-stripping proxy, then you might see that minitor@proxy.nsa.gov retrieved documentX, and that drone@proxy.nsa.gov retrieved the same document with the same session - but the traffic would be different unless all response headers were the same. And the proxy could just log the access anyway.
This is interesting, but you would be naive if you think this is in any way comprehensive or accurate.

My religion and main area of knowledge of Catholicism shows a limited number of picked and chosen orders of priests, (i.e. Franciscans, Cistercians, Capuchins). These are not separate religions by any means whatsoever; they are all members of the Catholic faith. They certainly don't belong on a chart that is meant to display different religions and schisms.

> Doing any of that would create a very distinct MO.

Crime is all about risk management. Sloppy purchases could leave a trail, yes, but video evidence can also leave a trail. One trail is easier to cover than the other: lots of people buy paint and guns, not many rob trucks.

> have you seen how small cameras are these days?

This isn't hide-and-seek. The game is not over for the perp if a shitty miniature camera buried in the truck's frame catches a few blurry frames of a masked man. I was responding to the "just do machine learning on LIDAR data" proposal that got thrown out elsewhere in the thread. Equipment that can reliably identify people who control the physical situation and don't want to be identified is probably expensive and vulnerable. Making it relatively invulnerable makes it even more expensive.

> A problem not made any worse by driverless vehicles

Yes, precisely. They never were a deterrent and "just call 911" was/is not going to stop robbers. The deterrent is sitting in the cab.
I doubt that they could disable the IOMMU based on the presence of a pro card, since the virtualization uses that require an IOMMU are a lot more common than anything RDMA that might conflict with an IOMMU.
By and large you can ignore laziness without issue. Multi-threading is, ironically, one of the first places you might see an issue as you must guarantee where evaluation occurs and how far.

Other than that the major risk is of a space leak. In a web service model you generally won't write the sever or the database connection and therefore will be masked from long-running memory hog computations.
Free trade is the default, but practically every country has passed laws that override that default, which is what makes free trade agreements necessary.
That's why I said it was a "reminder" and not a perfect illustration. Almost every article and bit of material I read on Git advocates the understanding of its data formats to make "effective" use of Git or claims that once you understand those things then you can understand how to use the system.

Even then, I personally find Git's interface confusing and inconsistent -- there are various examples of that with how you request help (usage) for various commands.

The only way I can personally tolerate using Git at the moment is via SourceTree or the GitHub web interface.

That's just my personal opinion of course and isn't necessarily a factual reflection of Git itself.

I've used various source code control systems over the years: sccs, perforce, bitkeeper, cvs, svn, bzr, mercurial, and so on to various degrees if that means anything. The one I've finally settled on for personal use has been mercurial, which I've generally found fits my own workflows the best and generally has an interface that seems to work without me having to think about it too much.

So are we going to be seeing just Windows 10 minor versions from now on? Maybe they could just shorten the name to WinOS 10, and in a year they can release WinOS 10.1.

Maybe the minor versions could all be named after something interesting, like different species of large cats, or Washington area landmarks?

WinOS 10.10 Rainier?
I believe OP was referring more to the hockey stick model of wide-spread change in political beliefs. It is a very, very long road toward a change in the public's perception of some issue, such as equal rights or gay marriage, but there often seems to be some tipping point where the minority view becomes the majority in a very short amount of time. Also see legalization of marijuana, prohibition and women's suffrage.
In order to find how other people think and understand their justifications, you have to read on even if they give you a claim or more in the form of a premise.

Understanding a worldview is not about getting arguments for their every single premise, but about trying to see it as a cohesive whole -- because the end result is bigger that any "proven" foundations, and might retro-actively justify them in the first place.

After all those doing the "I've stopped reading" in all probability have lots of premises they consider as axioms themselves (some of them marinated in some light "justification").
I remember where I was when the towers fell (working at home that day in s.f.). I remember where I was when Reagan was shot (playing mini golf in junior high).

I don't remember where I was when Osama bin laden was killed. It just felt like such an inevitability and correction to history that it should have happened already. Remembering what I was doing was pointless.

Also, everything before was such a waste. We wasted so many lives in Iraq when the real enemies were the Pakistani intelligence service and Saudi Arabia. I just wanted to forget it all.
Where's the key file saved on the Windows' directory?
It's entirely possible for this kind of thing to fall out as a natural consequence of a set of constraints and institutions, without any central planning or conspiracy.

For instance, look at Duverger's Law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger%27s_law), which says that the standard "one person one vote" voting system we use naturally tends to produce a two-party system. Beyond that, there are institutional tendencies towards compromise and centrism that will tend to make key parts of both parties similar to each other and drift towards each other, while roughly matching overall society sentiments, and emphasizing a handful of ideological differences that match/create those in society (with a feedback cycle). Put that together with standard political tactics like proposing an extreme position and "compromising" with what you wanted in the first place, and with the tendency of any system made up of people to perpetuate itself and give itself more power.

So it's entirely plausible that we'd naturally tend towards something like we have: a two-party system, with differences on some high-profile items that, common agreement between those parties on other issues (most notably on the self-perpetuation and growth of government and bureaucracy, even if in disagreement with substantial fractions of the public), near-impossibility of electing a third-party candidate, etc.
There's a lot of potential for autonomous vehicles to have a black box that records everything that happened in the case of an accident. It may make it much clearer who is at fault in accidents. With driving being a repetitive task requiring attention and sometimes quick responses, I'm going to bet that in most cases it will be a human at fault.

Courting Controversy: Jesselyn Radack
Really? How many official atheistic rituals are performed per week? per month? per year? How many atheistic personalities do you see/hear on the radio / television (talking about atheism, not about pizza)? How many atheistic politicians do you know (probably very few, since it is political suicide)? How many times per year is an atheist ringing at your door to tell you the wonders of atheism? (I get several calls per year from the jehova's witness and other groups, trying to convince me - very educately - that their religion is "the good one - tm")

I heard people are going to the church (or synagoge, or mosque, or whatever) every Sunday (Saturday / Friday) (or they should ...), and they are very freely and openly telling everybody how much they believe in their choice of god.

Compared to the publicity with which believers are living their faith, atheist's non-faith is very introvert.

Which is according to the nature of the thing - why would you be talking about your non-beliefs all the time? Basically, we all have so many non-believes (an atheist has only one more than a believer) that there is no material time to talk about them.

Of course whenever an atheist breaks this code of silence (like poor madengr just did above) with a single sentence (not a three hours prayer - mind you!), it clearly proves that atheists are exhibitionists.

All this makes your joke a very stupid joke (since its logic is broken)

EDIT: added more ranting
>Everybody want essentially the same things, to have their essential needs fulfilled : food, home, health, family, freedom

No, everyone does not want "family", which I assume means a spouse and children. Family is not essential to life. So already we see a problem with any one person assuming any sort of unanimous positionality among every human. We don't even have to talk about how "freedom" is relative -- the factually false claim that "family [is an essential need]" is an easier point.

Social struggles are indeed engineered: by the rich, by men, by the more powerful nations, by white people. Slavery and white law in the U.S. existed (I'd like to add "exists" but that fact is less obvious to more people) and was an act of "engineering" -- I am personally not forgetting that and the fact of its effects continuing today, despite how OP seems to advocate that I do so. I will not forget that whiteness exists, as does gender, the monetary system, and the self-interests of nations like the U.S., Israel, the UK, etc, and neither should anybody. The purpose of division is security and extraction of resources -- from women, non-whites, and the poor and indigenous.
In Java or C++, there's a reasonable expectation that common popular libraries will keep getting updated for quite a while after you start using them... mindshare doesn't hemorrhage rapidly.

Not remotely true with JavaScript. Something which got 2k stars on gitub this year might be on the way out in a year, and you'll be stuck figuring out whether it still works with the new version of d3.js, or on the newest Chrome... and if it doesn't you have to either move on or fix it yourself.
Where is Manichaenism?
I'd hope that most conservatives don't attach that justification to welfare cuts. You effectively said that they would be happy to punish the vulnerable to ensure that those taking advantage of the system would also be punished. I Am Not A Conservative, but I'm fairly sure most of them would be horrified with that categorisation.

I didn't downvote you, I do agree that you can't just say one or other thing is objectivley better. I think your example missed the mark though.
You're 100% correct. So my search wasn't exhaustive enough, and thus my assumptions and conclusion above are not correct.
Increasing welfare will likely improve the lives of those who are using it, including those who are taking advantage of it. You did not disprove my point at all.

Koomey's Law is becoming more important, especially as the cost of heading smaller than 10nm and bigger than 450mm is likely to also exponentially increase. I get a sense that computation/watt matters more than swiches/mm2 in a world run on batteries.
They are objectively better only if you agree 1) on the relative importance of those aspects, and 2) on how to measure success.

E.g. regarding to health. One approach (e.g. state funded, guaranteed health coverage for all) might give better overall health statistics for the whole population, even eradicating certain classes of diceases, etc.

But some people could still think of it as bad, because they don't just want "better health" for everybody, but better health for those that can afford it, and consider the others lazy and cheaters that deserve to not have health coverage.

Now, I'm on the first camp, but this is an illustrative example of how measuring results is not some kind of solution that ends the political debate.

That's StreamOS, there's a different. Most of the Steam boxes come with Windows 8 (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2/186-2840984-5406453...).
The only thing that worries me with this approach is what if the great minds behind the Windows 8 UI strike again? Right now I could try windows 8 and 10 in a VM and make a decision on whether I want to switch from Windows 7. With that approach everyone will be Microsoft's Guinea pig.
> "Crime is all about risk management. Sloppy purchases could leave a trail, yes, but video evidence can also leave a trail. One trail is easier to cover than the other: lots of people buy paint and guns, not many rob trucks."

The sort of MO that I am talking about is "Always shoots out the cameras after stopping the truck, using a rifle" (or whatever the specific details happen to be).

The reason you do not want to establish this sort of MO is that it allows the police/FBI to connect different incidents, different truck hijackings, and figure out that they were all perpetrated by the same gang of criminals.

Once they do this, they can begin analysing where and when you are likely to strike in the future. They can use information such as "This gang was out committing crime on April 15th, June 3rd and July 18th" to narrow down their list of suspects, eliminating people who might be matches for one date/location but not for the others.

> "This isn't hide-and-seek."

When you are talking about shooting out cameras, it really is. I mean, ignoring the hollywood silliness of it, chances are you are going to be in that cameras field of view before you shoot it, and any footage that camera already shot will not be destroyed by the bullet smashing the lense. The LIDAR is really not going to be the primary source of information about the thieves anyway, the cameras will be.

> "They never were a deterrent and "just call 911" was/is not going to stop robbers."

Calling 911 is about catching robbers, not deterring them. The sooner the police arrive on the scene, the more likely the criminals will be caught.

How fast does the average truck hijacking happen? How fast does it happen when the truck that is being robbed has been immobilized? Maybe you can get the trailer off and onto another truck, but that takes time and could be hindered any number of ways. Immobilizing the truck isn't a good idea when there is a human driver that could be harmed, but with a self-driving truck there is no reason why it wouldn't be done.
How is this different from a simple async processing queue with Kafka?
You're exactly right. The problem with OO is that you are really making state changes in what you should think of as an in-memory database, but the languages offer you no support for doing so logically. A logical language, or as you suggest, a mixed-paradigm language, could give you some logical assistance in enforcing consistent state transitions. In OO languages, you have to enforce all the logical constraints yourself, in code. And you get so used to it, you begin to think that's the way it's done, and you embed the knowledge in your Patterns book.

Per the nVidia documentation:

RDMA for GPUDirect currently relies upon all physical addresses being the same from the PCI devices' point of view. This makes it incompatible with IOMMUs and hence they must be disabled for RDMA for GPUDirect to work.

Sounds like they require the user to disable it.

Latches are caught by the synthesis tools generally. Designers usually run a unconstrained synthesis as a matter of course to determine whether they have written junk.

As for the other bugs, I look forward to this new paradigm of spotting them early without verification effort.

Reasoning about transactions is already how verification works. It is transaction based. UVM is a library of SystemVerilog classes aimed at abstracting the verification to higher levels.

I was at a bus stop, in my college town. I was watching Twitter, because the press conference had been called but nobody knew for sure what it was. I started seeing tweets that the announcement was going to be about bin Laden being killed, then, all at once, I heard cheering coming from apartment windows all up and down the street. Totally surreal.

I might've had a different experience than many folks older (or younger) than I, though -- I was 10 when the attacks happened, and for a lot of the kids my age, OBL was the first real-life boogieman we knew. Then, just as we became old enough to really get immersed in current events, he was killed.
That's why I picked 10,000 years specifically.
Hi, SA dev here (Cape Town). A starting salary is usually 18-22k, a mid-level position is usually starting at between 30k and 40k and for experienced devs (around 5+ years experience usually) around 50k and I'm sure lots of people get more.

As for costs of living, 50k is a really good salary. See the "developer big mac index" here: SA ranks number 2 https://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2015)
