Insurance companies are also the definition of conservative investors... and they are very large investors. It seems that they could easily be describes as on of the legs that the financial system stands on. I doubt that this sector could survive the wild swings in stock price that tech companies go through.
>> I don't understand the blatant systemd misrepresentation/hatred
It is a complex and fairly large chunk of code that "fixes" a nonexistent problem, it flies in the face of Unix philosophy, and the author has a pretty bad track record.
The entire sector is in for a shock in the next dozen years.
Very advanced software will be generating applications ingesting the requirements via speech recognition. Most programmers will loose their jobs. Thanks to Edward Snowden, NSA is finally getting off their asses and plugging the super user security hole they have suffered under for decades - developing tech to automate and eliminate the vast majority of sys admins. That tech will be filtering out in about 10 (?) years or so.
Tablets and phone, console, laptop, all pay homage to my bruiser of a desktop... either by syncing, backing up, hosting accounts... desktop rules them all.
>> That's part of the answer why winnt5/5.1 are actually widley used, they are used in realtime equipment
BS. No hard real time system uses any Windows variant. There are RT packages for Windows, but all the RT functionality is in the package kernel - Windows rides along as an preemptable process on top of the RT nanokernel. Tenasys and other vendors IIRC.
RT_PREMPT is alive and well - however AFAIK most folks leverage it through Xenomai.
It is a cool implementation to be sure, but we are talking timing deadlines of about 8-9 Hz per cylinder at (2000RPM). Not very much of a test of a RTOS or the HW it is running on.
This is actually an idea that I forward myself quite often - ocean exploration is a far better (and in many ways more challenging) endeavor than space exploration. Plus with much greater ROI.
The poster is correct. However what the poster would be missing is the value of a mentor to guide his self research, and the collaboration of his fellow students.
Walk into a library and get a degree in (pick a subject). How do you know WHAT to read? Are you going to miss something fundamental in your studies? How would you know if you did?

that is a win right there regardless
If you are willing to live with USB or Thunderbolt speeds to your disk I guess that is fine.

Good luck indeed.
This is nothing new.

Just what, pray tell, has the US done to India that was so goddamn bad?
For the reasons already cited.
Never saw a clip of the bomb going off that included the sound.
That video showed a whole lot of Windows, BTW.
Checkout Xenomai - you can get hard realtime determinism at microsecond level.

Also, a bunch of one legged manbeasts with a huge foot live in the Orient.
There are great reasons to go back... none of them are financial. Which is why we won't be going back any time soon.
Helium-3 isn't a reason to go, just a very nice to have once you get there.
>> no money..
No need to go further.

There it is! It has water, Helium-3, oxygen in the rocks. WTF is the problem?
...just shovel them off to "college" instead.
How long before remedial math is taught at the college level?
