A hairdresser has to know and recognize skin diseases like a nurse or doctor, be able to mix chemicals like dyes and bleaches like a chemical engineer, and schedule customer appointments like a project manager.
This offshoring/onshoring practice was done as part of the Lima Declaration of 1975. Western countries agreed to give 30% of industry to the developing world. First it was work like shipbuilding, metal works, manufacturing, then they moved into backend room work, then programming and engineering.
That's an easy one to explain. Money that goes to the education board will first be used to boost the pension funds, then modernize the education board offices. They'll see taking a good chunk as a fair deal. Some money will go towards the ongoing maintenance bill for all facilities. Some will use the money to buy new sports fields, tour buses for the sports team, new text books. Even if they do get round to buying new PC's or laptops, they'll buy bargain basement out-of-date hardware.
Sounds more like a giant spherical lava lamp made from liquid helium and hydrogen. A solid core of liquid hydrogen at the core with a outer shell of liquid helium with all sorts of bubbling and rain in a turbulence layer.
It would be like those science fair experiments that involve mixing colored liquids of different densities. Over time they separate out, but heating and shaking mix them up. Imagine doing that experiment in zero gravity. Instead of having a cylindrical tank of of colored layers, you would have spherical shells.
That wouldn't work. There would still be code reviews, a change list and all sorts of logs. Easier to just hack into a server and make the changes on the trunk branch.
http://www.thenational.scot/ne... “Expansion joints allow the bridge to cope with additional stresses,” said Carson, “and clearly the new fault is all about a structural failure to cope with those stresses.”
In 2009 a report by FETA’s staff said: “The advice given previously to members was that the joints had reached the end of their service life and required to be replaced as there were concerns over their reliability.”
Shortly before the discussion, however, the timetable for the Forth Replacement Crossing was published by the Scottish Government.
As a result FETA ordered a review of its projects, and the report stated that the “review team concluded that it would be possible to delay the replacement of the joints until 2016”. The report added that “inspection and monitoring levels would have to be increased significantly, key components such as pins and springs would have to be replaced and in some cases modified to improve performance”. The report concluded that the delay would result in “a saving to the public purse of over £6 million”.
With the SNP ruling the country, there is actually an underspend of government taxes. Though that might be due to the Labour MP's on the FETA council that didn't approve the funding of regular maintenance of the Forth Bridge, causing it to be caused to be closed when a crack was found.
We had remote desktops for Windows 3.1 waaayy back in the 1990's. I remember our helpdesk being able to connect to another users MSDOS PC on a different floor and being able to see the exact same screen and control the GUI as if it were their PC.
Electromagnetic waves like radio and light don't travel far through ocean water. Not more than a few dozen meters at most. Sound waves travel for hundreds of miles, but the bandwidth is too low for digital communications, though it's good enough for dolphins and whales. So every ROV needs an umbilical cable consisting of shielding, power and data). Given the hazards of pulling these cables along, it's easier to have the ROV release cable like a spider.
Having autonomous ROV's has always been a dream. Making ROV's depth proof is doable, but they need to be air-tight, pressure-resistant, and electrically isolated. Digital control of movement has already been done, it's just getting the AI to work that's the problem.
To me, software development is more plumbing than anything else. Take data from one end of a pipe, do something with it, store it somewhere, send it off somewhere else. That's where the engineering bit comes in. Problem is, every engineer has their own standard of building stuff.
With the fly-by-wire systems, all the testing can be done with mock-up flight decks and flat-screen displays. The funny thing is that glass cockpit displays only were introduced because it was cheaper to simulate expensive instruments using computer graphics, but the pilots preferred the flat screens to the actual instrumentation.
From the jobs adverts I have seen, anyone with a 2:1, a PhD from a red brick university in Physics or Mathematics will be headhunted by the financial industry to work in derivatives and trading algorithms.
Regular fusion reactors are either spherical or toroidal. The stellerator is more like a helical shape twisted round so that it forms a continuous loop. Words alone don't do it justice:
You do get security enhanced Linux (SELinux). That added things like make files impossible to change (system owned executable files) even for root. But in order install something like the Nvdia device driver blob, you had to disable it, execute the.run file, and then reenable SELinux.
There are also "trusted" UNIX systems which log every file change, modification and permission code.
The idea of shared memory is that the shared memory segment appears as a linear block of memory to the original process that created. Then other processes can request read or read/write access to that memory. The intention is for use with device drivers which need to map a hardware address to the driver address space so it can read/write registers and buffers. Your network driver stores all the received and sent packets in a number of ring buffers. A graphics driver accesses the framebuffer and texture data in a similar way.
Your alternatives are to use TCP/IP sockets or OS managed pipes. Just send down the offset, number of bytes and a pointer to the data that you want to change.
There are online pressure groups that are going around pushing for change. There was a petition organised to get Trump's honorary degree revoked. Similar tactics can be used to organize a boycott of a country's or a corporations products. In the UK, we have had invited speakers to university debating discussion halls, shouted and hounded out of the room by small minorities of people.
It's three things. They have to beat ARM on price, performance and power consumption simultaneously. They can lower all three which is a fail, they can raise all three which is also a fail for mobile, but OK for high-end servers. They have to keep price down (less R&D), and power consumption down while keeping performance up (more R&D).
You can. Those local shops that build PC's for you can also get you a vanilla Windows install CD without the crudware. Your on your own with hardware drivers though.
There were new critters the last time I played - gas spores that exploded when they were killed. Had to learn to keep a safe distance. Spells of stink bomb that killed critters in another room. At the deepest levels, there was green slime monsters that turned everything they bit into green slime.
" It's basically like trying to find a single meatball in an Olympic-size pool full of spaghetti. "
That sounds like some kind of Japanese game show, but with the addition of being blindfolded while the other team mates shout instructions from the side.
Yes, yellow fungus give you hallucinations, along with certain potions. Everything object around you then looks like valuable artifacts, while monsters become totally mixed up. A black dragon appears to be as harmless as a slime mold, while a grid bug looks like a rock giant.

It's cheaper to employ PhD students and postdocs than it is to employ full-time staff as lecturers, professors and readers.
They're busy grabbing other peoples nuts and handing them out as freebies.
