Yep, he did although my first thought was "I'm not making a lot of money and don't want to plunk for UPS". In fact, this is a desktop, so there's no battery except for the CMOS of course. I don't trust surge protectors either. There's no substitute for powering down quickly when danger threatens from the mains.
About the only quibble I have with what you're saying is "stop updates". Instead I'd like it to be easier to customize updates. I don't want to miss patches. Once I've got a setup I like, I want it to stay the same except I want security issues patched. I want to be able to segregate security patches from "features". Also, I'm not sure why Windows 8.1 has this whole business of working on the update while it's in the shutdown process. That's really annoying if I'm shutting down to go away for a while, or because of storm activity. I want to shutdown NOW. Not in 10 minutes. Also, don't auto-shutdown or nag me. Just put a RED WARNING security patch update icon on the task bar or something. I know it's there. I'll do it when I'm done with other stuff.
You would have had a much harder time if a large percentage of grills were not powered by propane. The grill and home heating infrastructure was indirectly supporting your vehicle.
If we could accelerate to relativistic velocity, the only other things stopping us might be relativistic dust specks, each and every one of which is now a bomb. For reference, see what could have been a deadly ding to the window of the Space Shuttle. If the object was larger, it might have penetrated. IIRC, it was thought to be caused by a paint chip. Velocity? Nowhere near relativistic.
The first thing I thought of was the Magic software that ran support when I was there. This was the late 90s and it was already considered old.
After I looked up that link, I realized that I had written some FORTRAN during an internship. That was in the mid 80s, and the install may have been a few years old for all I knew.
The best way to play Aerobie is to retrieve them from roofs, trees, and other places where they were thrown. Then, throw them gently. I'm not sure how this analogy can be applied to early vs. late adopters... or maybe I am and I'm just not telling you.
Maybe some are near water, another one is near high-grade ore, there are stations to service travelers between them, another one is in a better launch point to orbit, etc.
I'm not sure how parent got moderated Informative. Reddit does a pretty good job of not allowing offensive subs to pollute non-offensive ones. If you log on with the default set of subs, it's mostly non-offensive stuff with NSFW tags working pretty well to prevent you from following porn links and stuff. Yes, people talk about and/or link to offensive ones; but the offensive content itself is not in the stock subs. If you follow those links, you can find yourself in some truly bizarre and/or offensive places; but it's not in your face day-to-day unless you *choose* to go there.
We already solve it like programmers--we do it according to what the suits say, regardless of how stupid it is because... money.
The good programmers (would-be leaders) get disgusted and quit.
What we need is disruptive technology, from a different bunch of suits. This has nothing to do with how good the programmers are, except that if it's a good bunch of suits they'll attract a good bunch of programmers.
I'd say she's a lot more likely to get money from Uber than from non-existent multi-national cab companies.
Apparently, she didn't get enough. Let's see if she says anything about the "gig economy" a few months from now, and cross-reference that with the updated list of donors.

Rust can't be used to build a kernel because you can't handle OOM reliably.
From context I'm getting that's Out Of Memory. I don't know much about Rust; but what you're describing sounds more like a problem with the current implementation rather than the language itself... unless the developers painted themselves into a corner by specifying that allocation failure must panic and can't return something like a NULL.
Me, personally? I wouldn't want to do anything you describe. I'm wagering Linus doesn't either. The question was if he was *interested* in these new languages. Laying that aside now, what you're describing might be easier with Clang. That leads (heheh) to another question, and a quick googling seems to indicate that the kernel can't be built with Clang yet...
This is close enough to the question I had in mind that I've decided to comment on this thread instead. My question would have been phrased as: Do you ever see yourself wanting to do kernel programming in something other than C and assembly?
Particularly I'm wondering if he has any interest in Rust or Go, since they are actually targeting themselves at lower levels. I doubt he'd want to put Haskell in the kernel; whereas he might have different opinions about it outside that domain. Of course hopefully he'll answer so we won't have to speculate.
One of many big lies that politicians tell is "we want more affordable housing". Nonsense. Whenever we get affordable housing, everybody panics. That's what 2008 was--a very brief spate of affordable housing, and as soon as we got it, almost everybody was in a tizzy.
Why? Leverage.
Very few can buy a house for cash. Most of them are financed. By their very nature, such purchases are financially damaging to you unless the asset you finance goes up. The damage is usually bearable for smaller items such as a car, or appliances. It's too much to bear for a house, which became the overweight item in most middle-class investment portfolios.
So. We encouraged most of the country to have an investment strategy that could be summed up as "overweight leveraged real estate" and this is the natural result--everybody wants housing to keep going up in price.
Furthermore, governments rely on property tax revenue which is... proportional to assessed value. The government wants housing to go up too. Then the people that run the show have the gall to say, "we're going to create affordable housing". Nonsense.
What they call "affordable housing" usually requires you to be in some kind of welfare program to qualify. Being on welfare is, in some sense, actually a high price to pay for housing.
Another thing they called "affordable housing" was the shoddy loans that caused the 2008 crisis. Once again, that's not affordable housing. It's affordable *credit*, ie, cheap money, used to buy expensive housing.
REITs are one way for people to buy real estate without having an over-weight portfolio. They're still leveraged though, because it's too difficult to make money in this system without leverage. It's like an arms race. If we took the leverage out, it might be possible to run the system using non-leveraged REITs. You'd put a significant portion of your savings in a non-leveraged REIT. Instead of earning interest, you'd earn dividends. The possibility of the REIT going to zero wouldn't be there like it is with today's leveraged REITs. In other words, we could make housing something like a regulated utility.
Needless to say, this is a huge leap and I've been made fun of for suggesting it before. Debt finance is very, Very, VERY entrenched in this market. It'd be revolutionary to do it any other way.

Alrighty then, will John Corzine receive an indictment? I think we all know the answer.
