IBM said its acquisition of Red Hat was a move to open up software development on computer clouds, in which software developers write applications that run on remote data centers.
It's all open source. What's stopping them from developing to the Cloud, NOW?
If the only needed thing was a warm body then yes. However in telecommuting one's doing more than that. They're bringing their environment as well. And that's not so mobile (hence the ability to tell India from America).
Promoting of CS as a career choice will lead to both resentment by those already established*, as well as too many pursuing too few, lowering wages, and standards. Formal education leads to a well rounded student, and employee.
Construction is slated to begin as soon as next year on the Square Kilometer Array, a radio telescope with thousands of antennas in South Africa and Australia meant to detect signals emitted more than 13 billion years ago. It's been estimated the project could generate an exabyte (1 billion gigabytes) of raw data every day, the equivalent of 300 times the material in the U.S. Library of Congress and a huge storage headache all by itself
Good thing we just had a Slashdot article about intelligent compression. Even though most poo pooed it as not needed.
Good advice. Now for a trip down memory lane Google, "KDE, GNOME, Spatial Browser, debate, UI"*. You'll get an eyeful of why FOSS isn't amicable to UX/UI. I doubt little has changed.
*Expand a little to account for, "controls for everything" and "absolutely needed".
Possibly. What is different from now and then is that consumer hardware has matured. From NASes being more prevalent, to more capable routers, that do more than route. A lot more tasks, formally cloud, can be moved back towards the consumer end, with some help from the other end. e.g. expertise, management, etc.
I partially agree. Horsepower needed? Definitely. Portable horsepower needed? Most definitely because for AR to reach the potential as depicted in games, and fiction, it has to be portable. In VR you bring the universe to you, and can afford to be tied down. In AR you go to what's in the universe, and modify thusly.
Technically correct while missing the greater point. It's not the "who" so much as the "what kind of person"? Life extend every dictator and see what happens.
Well these are cloud servers, not Joe's Rat Shack computer shop. But I do see the whole thing as China's version of Stuxnet 2.0. Sort of a "we can do it too". Information leakage is important to china's economic war on the world. Kill switches can do a lot of damage too, especially if timed right with other events.
Been awhile since I had to deal with Excel, but all this heartache makes me wonder if they're translation tools that allow one to compose elsewhere and load into, or move out of?

Then Linus and crew is out of a job then.
Neither do you. Care to take a wack at it, in between snipping breaks?
Docker has come far.

"I asked a younger guy who is in the business about it recently, and he said nowadays what you learn are 'frameworks', whatever that is."
*raised eyebrow* Frameworks are an old idea. "Whatever that is" shouldn't be a question.

Maybe. It is interesting how programming games are a popular genre on Steam. No classes required there, and it gives one an idea in a fun way.

*Look at the humor surrounding certification.
I think the point is that plastics aren't suppose to be there in the first place.
Fine with me. We can all go back to what works. Paywalls!
Sounds like a replacement for Freon.
Be glad they didn't switch to a donkey.

BTW UX vs UI: different things.

Problem with E-mail isn't in the "getting one running". It's the constant maintenance that's needed.

My fraud line called ME, and said "did you make these charges"? No. They denied them, and issued me a new card. No other verify needed.
And the first person to undergo this life extension will be...Hitler.

So you didn't become a porn star? :-D
It's not even an Excel thing. I use to do the same with a NeXTStep spreadsheet.
Plus despite the complaints there are Excel alternatives.

Oh! Holy Wars. Maybe this one will be better than the Vi-Emacs one.
