He made a lot of bold promises based on a lot of questionable data. However he did win, even though most of the media said he never had a chance, so who knows, he is literally just so crazy that it might work. Or we are going be be doomed.
Lets face it, the President of the United States is the world's biggest target, Tump with getting elected without the popular vote + stating negative comments towards nearly anyone who didn't fully indorse him (people, corporations and countries) + have a reputation as a a bully and in general everything wrong with America. Really reinforces the fact he is a target. His off the shelf Android Phone, probably could be (Probably already had been) hacked from the resources of all the groups that hate him. Having a locked down and reduced functionality device makes the only sense. Would you really expect anything else?
In my Opinion Star Trek started jumping the shark, where Sisco started to get super Profit powers, then it started to go down from there. I Voyager technobabble plot points. I had strong hopes for Enterprise, until I realized their influence from the future guys right from the pilot episode. I was hoping for a story about real discovery, running into aliens that we may have known before, but struggling to accept their methods and ways. Running into problems where sometimes the episode will mean they can fight and win, and others where they run away with their tails between their legs. However it was filled with plots from Mr. future, and trying to introduce technology like force fields, and tractor beams. Where I was happy with the idea of a magnetic cable.
I think for most of us. Currently Mobile Speed isn't an issue, but the price for the connections.
Cell Phones kicked off when their prices became competitive and often cheaper to Lan connections. When they came with "Free" long distance and no roaming charges. Data rates are still too high for me to cut the Internet Cord, not necessarily bandwidth.
I would actually welcome a Day where I could just tether my Phone and use my Internet Account wherever I go.
There are a lot of factors I think are going on. If you spend a lot of time sitting. You are often working a higher stress job - Could stress Age you? Lack of exercise reduces muscle tone - That could age you? If someone sits too much they may have a medical problem that prevents them from being fully mobile - Could age you?...
When you boil down statics into a single number such a percentage or years off your life. You take out all the complexities in life and give a meaningless answer.
It does happen, however it is usually gradual over time. Like the Windows logo where it went to a highly stylized 3d Graphic then it removed the broken pixels, then it moved to the 4 boxes. So we realize the elements in the logo belong to the same group. Mozilla changing to Moz://a from their dragon icon, Is actually a big move. While it is a move from something fun to mr. business. It could had used the dragon icon and simplified it down further to get the point across without tossing out a known brand. When they switch logos too much. People who are not in the know may think they are using a cheap ripoff.
You cant pardon Snowden. He hasn't been convicted guilty of any crimes. He ran away to a different country vs. taking responsibility for his actions. So in American you are innocent until found guilty. So he can't be Pardoned. If he comes to America. Goes there the justice system and still found guilty then you will need to hope Trump pardons him.
Surface Pro is a Tablet. I want an OS for my Workstation EFI and Hyper-B Are the internal stuff that are not part of the normal UI Same with battery life.
I am fine with the windows 10 layout for a tablet. However I don't want a tablet OS on my workstation.
To answer your first question. Linux distributions fill different needs. RedHat, SUSE, Are Enterprise Linux solutions meaning your CIO won't have a fit with using them. Debian, Fedora are Server based where you realize you are not paying for anything important from getting the Enterprise support. Then you have the likes like Ubuntu and Mint. Which are more Desktop/Workstation linux distributions meant for people to work with. Not just set it and forget it.
Linux was designed to be a lot like Unix so it was mainly a server OS. So for some people the Real Linux is used for a server on big iron systems.
In coding if you are often too clever you often make code that is very dense in mathematics. Taking advantage of bit overflows, and other mathematical functions that happen to perform the behavior you are trying to achieve. For example If you are making a Mario type of game, you can use a sine function to simulate the jump effect. vs. making some more codier version where you have a loop that is decrementing how many pixels to to move up after each step. The first approach is good and will get you an A+ on your homework assignment. However, after making the game, you find that you now need to account for obstacles. Perhaps different wind forces... Where you will either need to change your sin function around with different variables, which will need a lot of testing. Or just put in a sloppy old IF statement to change your variable when a condition is in place.
So offload the work from people who are security and system administration midended and dump it on the other teams who are focused on meeting the business objectives. So this way more security holes get put in but that is fine because it is the other departments fault. Just because the staff may have the ability to monitor such stuff it doesn't mean they have the time and resources to actually do the job. Hey it may work at your organization but you are crossing on of the pet peeves I have at may work where the System Administration dumps edicts and their jobs to the App teams while the App teams also have a full work load.
You are right the more potential energy something holds the greater potential for a dangerous failure. The real trick to making these energy sources is to arrange them in a way that they can release their energy safely under conditions that the device is expected to operate with some wiggle room for some abuse. Sure we can out energy or current batteries with a better substance. But can we have it safe enough to operate under normal conditions? This article isn't about allowing us to make more hazardous batteries. But just a better fail state. Because current failure conditions are rather hazardous. From the like aircraft, to hover boards, to cell phones all catching on fire often due underestimating the power sources current volatility. A safe fail. Will be annoying as many of these devices don't have replacement batteries. But at least you won't get injured from them.
Functional Languages are really cool in theory. However I find that for Real World development. Your code is often too tight for proper maintenance. Where Procedural and OOP is much better at fixing issues.
While yes *you* are the greatest developer in the world, and can write code better than everyone else in the world. It doesn't stop the people who pays your bills from giving you bad specifications, or come across problems that were not thought of before. In my decades of experience, I have found to be nimble you need to keep humble and figure that your code will not end up like it was planned, so you need to put in hooks for expansion and think on solving issues that are not asked for. As well assuming that they may be some data that could cause your code to break and you will need to fix it quickly.
Functional Languages often become a bit too dense to fix. And god help you if you want to unload that project to someone else so you can work on something more interesting.
The PC is dying, but our needs for a Workstation isn't. Over the past 25 years we have been mixing PC and Workstation interchangeable. Where Workstation is usually just a more powerful PC. However the real difference isn't in Hardware and OS. But how the computer is used. A PC (Personal Computer) is mostly a device meant for the normal computing user. Where they may use it to run some simple Apps, Games, a Word Processor, and rather recently be able to browse the internet. This area OpenSource never really got a foothold in. With the likes of Microsoft and Apple keeping control of that market. Much of this PC usage has moved into Mobile Devices, because the computing need for performance hasn't matched up to Moore's law on how fast PC can be. So the average person is much happier with the Smaller, more portable at the expense of performance and openness (which the general population never cared about anyways). For Small, Light, and long battery lives. So the PC is a dying market. Your kids, if they are not interested in technology are more than happy having the latest gaming console for games, and their phone for most of their other computing work. If you gave them a table with a keyboard they could be happy doing all their school work on it. However for Real work, we still need Workstations, Engineers, Developers, Artists, Video content... really still need to use the power of a Work Station those Intel i7 processors many Gigs of Ram and terabytes of disk storage, with the ability to connect to a Large screen, and complex sound systems... Are still in need, but not for average Joe, but for the people who need real computing. What I am not seeing from the likes of Major Linux distributions, Microsoft and Apple. Who made Desktop OS, to realize the PC usage of comping is coming to an end. And the design of the next generation OS should be more geared towards Workstations for business usages, and serious Amateurs, and hobbyists.
Some features I have yet to see a good implementation of. 1. Window Framing: On a Workstation we are expecting to have multiple big screens, that means we are going to be running many apps at once, and will want to quickly see the status on many at a quick glance. We really don't need a full screen email client, or Windowing hell with many apps that you just can't shrink and resize.
2. Better copy and paste: Features like being able to manipulate your copy and paste buffer, being able to queue multiple entries, and access multiple buffers. We now have computers with many Gigs of RAM, we have the ability to store much more data.
3. Better backup and restoring: Why am I still using source control on my Important stuff, why isn't source control integrated and much easier to use? Ransomware and mess ups can be easily solved with an OS level source controlling on each save, possible to an external or isolated data store.
4. More cross compiling, and emulation: I should be be able on my workstation to cross compile my code to many OS's and platforms. As well run emulated version of these mobile OS's
5. Bring back low level IO: If I buy a $3,000 PC. I would love to be able to get the same level of IO that I get out of a Raspberry Pi. Where people can hook up their own electronics to such devices without having to deal with the complexity of driver writing to get their own electronics to work.
6. Less eye candy and more useful ui: I don't need fun effects, this is a business system. I need useful functionality. The UI effects should have a useful purpose and not just aesthetic. If I want a transparent, I don't want it to be blurry while looks fancy for marketing, it is useless because I cannot see what is behind the screen.
7. Keep the OS UI out of the way of the Applications: We don't use the OS just to use the OS. I want the OS to be as little impact to me trying to run the applications.
8. Automation: This includes improving and adding to the existing scripting ability. The old Unix command prompt was made in the day to
While some people who live in their own personal bubble think the Open Source (GNU) model can work for everything, it really does fall apart on a fundamental level. Maintaining a project over a project life cycle is hard work. Sure you may get some people willing to volunteer their time who are mostly college students or the growling level of retiring tech workers. However your project will need to be sufficiently interesting enough for people to develop, and invest their time in. As been stated many times before a lot of OSS work needs to be paid for. Sometimes it is by companies who needed a particular problem solved, however they are not interesting is making money off the software, so they may just open source it out and if they are lucky some other companies and people will fix the code for them. However some of the most successful OSS software are often in infrastructure OS's like Linux, Web (err umm) Application Servers like Apache, Development languages from GNU/C to Node.JS these big project handle the infrastructure stuff that many people need and use.
Now as for what the article was asking for, seems rather specialized. No one is going to do some specialized work for free so the requester can make tones of money off of it, even if it is open source. In that case you need to hire or contract a developer to do the work for you. Then you can decide to release the code open source or not. It is your project so you have the choice, you can even duel licence it, so you can sell it to people who may need that feature added to a closed source solution.
Probably But I expect if you are going to do multi-tasking background apps may suffer. Similarly like how Windows modes for Server usage vs. Workstation usage.
Still for gaming DOS is superior. If only we could get hardware vendors to make standard Video/Audio and i/o hardware. So we wouldn't need drivers.
Because it takes a lot of space. With those notes 7 exploding because the battery was too tightly packed in. That extra empty space can be used to allow for that extra room.
Well like a lot of science News it probably is a bad summary of the newest findings. The big thing that happened recently in science is the realization on how integral to our health those bacterias are. So the appendix benefits from this finding shows that it is far more helpful than before.

That and a mostly useless UI.
Granted it is better than Windows 8. But I don't want a tablet OS for my Workstation.
Well people are using windows server for real business too. What is the point. Just because they can do something it doesn't mean they should.
