But how many citizens know calculus, literature and physics? Certainly not enough know history - or US democracy wouldn't be facing the threat it does now. The poorly educated need a livelihood too. If the economy is healthier for glob

As an aside: Hardware as a service is annoying and feels horrible, but is probably the only way to achieve the long lifetimes we need for consumer goods in a world where reviews are unreliable and we need to stop wasting resources on planne

I wonder if the fact that DNA & RNA only occur with one chirality tells us something about how frequently this step occurs in the Drake equation. If the step from non biological organic molecules to RNA & DNA happens often, wouldn&

Attribution is not from tracing connections or domain ownership, it's from looking at the coding style, the "Tactics, Techniques and Procedures" and the choice of targets.

There's surely a lot of bespoke software in those core Govt systems. So they'll be trying to run a software image from months ago with yesterdays data. The success of that depends on how quickly the software has been changing.

With sticks and stones? They've been inside the nuclear defence computers for months. With sanctions? When the government may just stop working altogether for a year or more?

Yes, its the clean images I'm wondering about. It might not be easy to find clean images that are compatible with separate data backups.

But if you restore from backup aren't you going to restore the trojans? And if the trojans wipe the disks after x days of radio silence?

I can see the appeal of these. Just holding one makes you feel you can soak in attention to detail and beautiful handwriting through your fingertips. But the reality is different. I don't have the patience to wait for the ink to dry

Actually you can sometimes convince people their ideas are wrong by laughing at their ideas. I'll never forget my Dad's reaction when I bought a magazine about flying saucers. Whether or not we can change each others views by l

I like Mathematica a lot, and I'm happy to see the client library for Python. What it really needs though is a decent debugger. I'd upgrade today if this release had one. I think the people at Wolfram and heavyweight Wolfram Lang

What if you're having trouble with an API, you don't look at code to see what kind of arguments a function needs? You just go to the docs? What if the docs are sparse?

That's what I used to think too. But some (admittedly junior) developers I've spoken to said that there was so much concern about IP theft they weren't allowed to look at other peoples' code (I assume Stack Overflow was

That's a US comparison. It's complicated to make cost comparisons - do you compare own brands or known brands, etc. But in the UK shoppers report Aldi and Lidl as being better value https://www.which.co.uk/news&#x
