I'm enjoying watch anonymous coward argue with herself again.
Only on/. and RT/Fox News can you find morons who would defend this bozo. Or the President. Or the modern day Republican Party. Or Putin.
And strangely, that same half of the anonymous coward persona would dismiss the results of scientific studies, should those results disagree with any of the above.
Dr. Roy Spencer (and that other UAH professor whose name slips my mind at present) seeks money and fame from the policy positions that he is paid to take.
Dr. Roy Spencer of the Heartland Institute. Yeah, that Heartland Institute: "In the 1990s, the Heartland Institute worked with the tobacco company Philip Morris to question or deny the health risks of secondhand smoke and to lobby against smoking bans."
You try to frame this as religious persecution, but Dr. Roy Spencer is just a witch-doctor for hire.
Teach by example. Show me an architecture that would make me want it. With C++ as a platform language, not stupid shit like java, ruby etc.
When you begin an ignorant missive with a set of requirements that are in direct opposition to your stated end goal, how do you expect someone to respond?
Seriously, your request is like someone asking for better ASCII porn in 2018.
If you want to be taken seriously in computer science, start by not sucking up to the worst language since BrainFuck.
"I get tremendous pleasure from seeing and hearing how upset people are that Trump is president [..] I know that truth will be uncomfortable for you snowflakes, but you know what ? I don't care."
Thank you for at least being honest that you find joy from causing others pain, or at least witnessing pain in others.
I suppose that is as good of a reason to support Trump as any.
Java has always been a terrible programming language and its constant updates to fix bugs says as much. Hell it is incompatible with itself with each new release.
I wrote Java code in 1996. It's still being used today, without change, and hasn't so much as needed a recompile (although it has been recompiled, because CI.)
When it comes to Java, there are a lot of things that an intelligent person (i.e. probably not you) could complain about, but this isn't one of them: Java's compatibility and portability has been outstanding.
"And full of security holes. Only Flash player is less secure than the JVM."
I'm not aware of any JVM security holes. There was some old code from 20 years ago (called an Applet) that allowed Java code to be downloaded into a browser and executed, and that code (long since deprecated, unsupported, and removed) had lots of security holes.
In other recent news, Fred Brooks from IBM just announced that System/360 is GA!
I'm not sure what went wrong, was it implementation issues or bad API decisions that cause security issues, I'm curious to hear.
Java serialization allowed Java byte code (ClassFile structures) to be embedded in the stream (to support RMI), and automatically loaded on the other end.
In other news, CA closed a multi-million dollar deal with a customer who can't bother to do the work internally to prove that they no longer use CA software anywhere and so just agreed to pay whatever they were asked. This week's deal reinforces "the fact that we are a solid cloud platform that the federal government can put their trust in."
"An anonymous reader writes"... to tell us about an unrelated security bug in an AMD product. Funny how anonymous people seem to post so many stories of concern....
If it's actually a VEGA and not an April Fools Joke, then the memory is likely stacked on top of the CPU (called "HBM", which Jack Paar would have found funny). That means that the GPU would have a *very* wide memory bus of its own, while the CPU would have its own 2400MHz bus that it would share with DMA etc.
I just can't believe that Intel integrated a VEGA onto an Intel CPU. I really hope it's a huge hit, just so we'll see crazy shit like this in the future!
One of the rarest things ever just happened, almost as rare as bottled unicorn farts, a federal government agency actually gave back some of the scope-creep it was handed and chose to forego increasing their fiefdom in favor of allowing Congress to write laws to address the issues like things are supposed to be done
An agency doing its job does not prevent Congress from doing its job. Your statement makes no sense.
I found out over the weekend that CNN top people have all worked with Fusion GPS top people.
Da.
CNN has been pumping the fake news from Fusion GPS for over a year now and not once mentioned they have close ties/work with Fusion GPS.
Da.
They are literally working with a company that makes up fake stuff, reporting on it as real, and not disclosing that they know its fake and work with the fake company.
Da.
It would be like Clinton complaining Trump colluded with Russia to steal the election, while she was paying $9 million for information from Russia about Trump. Oh wait, that ACTUALLY happened.
Da.
Yep, there is collusion with Russia to affect the election
In Massachusetts, electrical code requires (for a while now) every outlet to have the shutters (and they only open if both pressed concurrently), and every circuit must have a smart (CPU-based) breaker in the fuse box.
After realizing how dangerous those plugs were, I went all-wireless power. Now I have auto-switching AC/DC, 120/240v, 50/60hz, and both 5v and 12v rails.
You poor schmucks with your archaic wires.
The original posting is so wrong in so many ways that I am now forced to question whether IBM the company actually exists, since the posting seems to indicate that it does.
Oracle always has layoffs around this time of the year. Sometimes they happen as early as July, or as late as December, but basically every group has to manage to a number that they get when the new FY begins, and the sooner they cut the headcount, the more people that they can keep. Oracle's hardware group has been cutting people every year around this time. Every. Single. Year.
Sorry, no news here. Nothing to see. Move on.
Seriously question: why are Republican lawmakers so willing to sell out their own constituents? And why do rank and file republican voters go along with it?
They are paid (large contributions from 501c3's) if they do it, and they lose both the contributions and their job if they don't.

Coincidence, I am certain.
Fuck this shit ...

... and more importantly, because humans can absorb information about a program faster from text than they can absorb information via other means.
Among other reasons, it's why we still have books in 2018.

Ajit, is that you posting as AC again?
One of the rarest things ever just happened, almost as rare as bottled unicorn farts, a federal government agency actually gave back some of the scope-creep it was handed and chose to forego increasing their fiefdom in favor of allowing Congress to write laws to address the issues like things are supposed to be done

The FCC should not have the power to withhold data like this. This is our government. That is our data.
It just shows you who Ajit Pai is working for. (Hint: Unless you're the CEO of Verizon, Ajit Pai is not working for you.)

BTW - your Russian is pretty good.
You lost the election fair and square, snowflake.
We all lost the election. All Americans. All freedom-loving individuals.
In the end, even the Donald lost: He was far better off before he stepped into a real spotlight.
You obviously don't understand any of this today, but awareness is something that takes time.

... because Americans watch Fox News.
