The Google search you need is "high level language"./they are a fairly recent invention, but they allow you to write your code in a non machine specific notation and it is covered to machine code by a tool called a compiler - or an interpreter.
To a large extent, the situation you described in agriculture has already come to pass. Farming began to be mechanised at the beginning of the 19th century. At that time, it took an army of people to harvest a field of wheat. This can now be done by a couple of people with a combine harvester and a tractor with a trailer.
Where did all the low quality labourers go? Why are there not loads of people sitting around doing nothing who would otherwise be harvesting wheat? The reason is that there are other new jobs to do that an 18th century farm labourer couldn't even imagine.
Given the letter that they received, I'm completely sure that they will have verified everything they said about Murray in the show. Murray is going to get his arse kicked in this suit.
Some of what's on Youtube is pirated. I saw this segment on Youtube but I'm not sure if I saw it on the Last Week Tonight channel. If not, it was pirated.
It wasn't powerful enough to determine that there was effectively an iron girder across the road at approximately driver's head height so I think pulling over in a safe spot was probably beyond it.
If it was on maintain distance to object in front, it would have stopped when the object in front slammed on its brakes because of the lorry in the road.
I think it's entirely reasonable that the current software in a Tesla should gradually slow down in the lane it's in whilst flashing all the lights and sounding the car alarm. If the driver is merely a lazy sod, he might then take control. If he is incapacitated, it's still likely a better outcome than in my car where if I lost consciousness with the cruise control on, the car would continue in a straight line until it hit something or if something jogged the steering, it would violently swerve and hit something or possibly roll.
We are not talking about autonomous driving though. We are talking about the driving aid in a Tesla that exists now. A driving aid sophisticated enough to pull over and stop safely in a legal and safe locations is probably also sophisticated enough to recognise that a gap that is only half the height of the car is not really a gap at all.
I've never worked for him or even met him, but I followed the Swift Evolution list after Swift was open sourced. When they first open sourced it, they announced a set of about seven priority goals for the next release (Swift 3). As the date for the beta arrived six months later, he sent out an email with a completely new replacement set of goals and then announced a great release that met the new goals. There was much congratulations and back slapping, but in reality the release was a failure because it failed to meet all but two of its original goals. My email pointing that out was not well received.
If you are not willing to honestly assess the work of your team and yourself, you are not a good manager. If Chris was unable to keep his team focused on their objectives, I'm not surprised he was let go. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out that was why he left Apple. One of the goals missed on the Swift 3 release was ABI stability. That basically means that every Swift application has to have a copy of the run time statically linked and you can't distribute Swift frameworks in binary form (the frameworks and the application have to be compiled and linked with the same version of the Swift compiler.
Apple is a hardware company. They sell computers, phones, tablets and watches. If you don't want to buy one of their computers, phones, tablets or watches, they don't care that you are not using their operating system.
Junk mail is organised in a hierarchy. There's a top level junk mail folder where you can see all your junk mail and it has a child junk mail folder for each mail account. Seems like the best of both worlds.
People say that autonomous cars will save Uber but They will have to buy their own fleet, if that's the case because nobody will let Uber use their autonomous car after the first time it comes back with vomit all over the seats.
Not that I am particularly impressed by the argument "x kills more people than y so we don't need to do anything about y".
Even if you tightened up the rules about where and how you keep guns and what training you need, you could probably save several hundred accidental deaths each year and even more injuries. But hey, that's not as many as 35,092, so who cares.
No it isn't, it's -2147483648. -1 is represented as 0xFFFFFFFF (in a 32 bit int). Also, this was a bug in an iPad app and iPads are ARM which means they do use 2's complement.
Yes, well notice that it's only 32 bit iPad apps that broke. Their server side software is clearly capable of handling larger numbers, so somebody took the decision to represent a (probably) 64 bit integer from the server using only 32 bits in the client.
The implication of that story is that it's going to happen again when comments hit four billion. Your comment appears to be 54,609,763, so I guess there's a way to go.

And yet, when it comes to providing healthcare for all US citizens, it's "fuck them, why should I pay for other people's healthcare".
No, you aren't compassionate and generous.
Always make sure you have an odd number of black boxes then.

Rich people do not, as a rule, hoard money. They invest it. Hoarding money is stupid because it gradually loses its value over time.

That comes into the "ideological purity" category, not the "technological superiority" category.

Nope.
With macOS C compilers, int is always 32 bits. long can be 32 or 64 bits and the Cocoa integer type (NSInteger) can also be 32 or 64 bits.
0x80000000 is -1 on most current architectures
No it isn't, it's -2147483648. -1 is represented as 0xFFFFFFFF (in a 32 bit int). Also, this was a bug in an iPad app and iPads are ARM which means they do use 2's complement.
If the game count reached 2^31, how long until it reaches 2^32?
Well that's twice as many games. I don't know how long chess.com has been around for, but it probably gives you an extra couple of years.
Yes, well notice that it's only 32 bit iPad apps that broke. Their server side software is clearly capable of handling larger numbers, so somebody took the decision to represent a (probably) 64 bit integer from the server using only 32 bits in the client.
Damned right they should have foreseen this.
