I like that one. Doing well in school is seen as a point of pride. If that attitude ever takes hold in the USA then you will know that the MAGA movement has succeeded, utterly. Will Trump's America be able to overcome the deep seated A

My 10y0 daughter wants to get this. She is busy dreaming up genetic experiments, mostly inserting features of one organism in another, and has a theory that there will be a future movement like the Amish that will have rules as to what tech

In British Columbia, the westernmost province of Canada, the bonfire night celebration has been grafted onto Halloween instead, and the evening of October 31st is filled with the same echoing of explosions and fireworks that you would exper

A great real-world example is the Russian Federation's program of new and improved military aircraft produced by several suppliers. Westerners constantly vastly underestimate the capabilities of Russia. Probably because Russians are sm

When you compare the speed and effectiveness of Russia's military renewal (including planes like the Su-35) with the chain of fiascos in the US defense sector, one really wonders whether the Soviet Union's KGB campaign was a succe

The problem is that this independence movement is not really an independence movement. In the modern world, no political entity can truly be independent. All are dependent on their neighbors. True independence became extinct when people sto

This is why the post office model is superior. The local post office receives the parcel and keeps it safe until you come to pick it up. Nowadays (at least in Canada) these post offices are colocated in pharmacies and other businesses that

If this kind of technical creativity (way outside of the box) was possible in Russia under the Soviet yoke, then what kind of things are they capable of creating today? Perhaps a whole bunch of electronic warfare devices like those used aga

That is thinking out of the box, something that military forces have great difficulty doing. Number 2, 4 and 5 quite publicly caused a collapse in the victory of the first Gulf War. It is too bad that there are not more Soviet and Russian W

Most interviewers who use torture do that because the believe that the evil criminal deserves a punishment, and the interviewer derives great satisfaction from doing the torture. But you have to admit that criminals are not normal people. T

It is possible to train people to provide misleading information under torture. What if that phone has two passwords, one which unlocks secrets and one which leads you on a wild goose chase. Which one will you get by torture?

I have noticed a change in the interview techniques portrayed in some police shows. Gibb's team in NCIS is one of those but the British TV series Scott and Bailey really comes closest to what is discussed in this Guardian article. Some

If the takeaway is that companies should seek out more older candidates to hire, then your comment reinforces that takeaway. The point is that software development companies are missing an important element of diversity when they fail to h

Sounds like a good reason to emigrate to Canada. Canadians would never tolerate sidewalks in such horrible condition. And governments in Canada (municipal, provincial, federal) are used to spending money on the wellbeing of citizens. Let&#x

I think it is great that PostgreSQL is strong enough to allow people to build robust queuing systems, but I still think that you are better off in the long run to use a real message queuing system like RabbitMQ to do this job. Start out by

I think that these changes mean the death knell for PHP in any version, for small companies. There is still a place for Hack or PHP7 in very large operations, but startups, and businesses that run at smaller scale, really should walk away f

At one time the USA discovered that the Soviets were bombarding their Moscow embassy with radio waves. Decades later it was learned that a genius names Theremin had built a device that acted as both microphone and transmitter, when bombarde

Likely because they have monitored ever North Korean missile launch and they know these are ballistic missiles. That means they follow a parabolic trajectory, and that means that before they go very far, a reasonably accurate landing zone c

You could take a look at a small project that I did a few years ago to create a portable CPython build for Linux. https://github.com/wavetossed/pybuild The basic idea was to make a CPython binary that did not use any s

This is a bad move. More than ever we need Linux standards and this goes in the opposite direction. It would be OK for SUSE to support btrfs as a first class choice of filesystem but the extfs family should be the standard one. And ZFS work

Probably the asteroid Apophis, due to hit the Earth in 2029, will cause enough cooling to prevent most clathrate from melting. If that works we have a nearby supply of small asteroids that we can fire at the Earth to deepen the winter effec

Did you try looking them up at archive.org? I expect that many of them will work there. The web is ephemeral unless somebody archives it. Many companies offer an archive service for your sites for a fee, and archive.org does it to provide a

Personally, I don't think the GIL matters. First of all most of us run apps on Linux which has reduced the overhead of processes so much that threads have lost much of their advantage. Secondly, people understand that locks are general

You need to watch the film, "Kingsman: The Secret Service" starring Colin Firth. Something very similar to this was used to induce people to murder others.

I think you are correct in regards to the people who are currently using C/C++. They already have done the hard work to make it usable for their systems. But newer developers will look at the complexity of C/C++ development and ch

1. Rust is not C/C++ 2. Lots of software is already written in C/C++ 3. Rust follows the same convention as C/C++, that you integrate functionality by writing a library, compiling and linking it into a monolithic binary 4. Sy

When will people stop trying to build queuing systems on top of a database and use a queuing service. Amazon's SQS or RabbitMQ or one of dozens of other tools that are specialized for message queuing. A job queue is just a message queu
