Well, I work with critical systems and we kind of do it like this: all the real-time and critical (security-wise) stuff is done in VHDL, then it communicates with embedded systems whose software is updatable. Then those in turn communicate with data-centralization and control/command PCs. If the top or top-2 layers go down, the hardware keeps running and goes in security modes, meaning nothing blows up and things just keep going or stop (depending on the VHDL which is NOT updatable by software).
The amount of gravitational waves generated by 2 stars colliding is many orders of magnitude less than 2 black holes colliding: In the black hole merger recently observed by LIGO, about 5% of energy was radiated in the form of gravitational waves. In other words, several suns went out in pure energy. That's a LOT of energy, hence why we can detect black hole collisions, but no way we can detect star collisions.
Also orbiting black holes loses energy pretty fast due to (again) radiating it as gravitational waves and get closer on a relatively short timespan. Stars don't, so orbiting stars (in double systems) don't collide.
...but still works fine. I give training courses in some arcane industrial language under Windows XP. In 2019. Why ? Because I set up the entire environment in a virtual machine and then ship the VM to my customers before the course. This way everything just works when we start the course.
Why don't I use Win10 ? Well, I tried but the smallest VM I could produce is 60Gb, instead of 17Gb with XP. Try and send that via ftp... And other reasons is that I hate Win10 and also that many of the hardware drivers necessary in an industrial environment just won't install easily or at all due to tons of obscure 'security' settings that just get in the way. I know we've been complaining forever about the shitty security of Windows, but when they actually tighten shit up, it gets right in the way. And honestly, it's not like they've improved anything useful between XP and 10... I can't find a SINGLE thing that I would say: "That's nice, I wouldn't want to go without".
When looked at from Europe, some things in the US are absolutely insane: for profit prisons (that'll want to maximize recidivism), for profit health insurance (that'll deny any expensive claims), guns everywhere, and now you have to pay to fill your taxes ? Isn't it the _basic_ role of the IRS to make it as simple and automated as possible ?!?
You would have to remove things from it, not just keep adding every paradigm from every other language. That thing has everything and the kitchen thing: you can do pure C with it. Or (almost) pure Java. Or only macros and templates. Anyway one programmer's C++ program might as well be an alien language to another C++ programmer.
Besides that, their whole methodology is crap, as has been noted many times over: if there are plenty of messages asking for help on stackoverflow, maybe it's because users are struggling with a language, not because it's 'popular'. A language that is very easy to learn on your own wouldn't have any messages now would it ?
Huh? You're trolling, right ? The ease of installation and update is probably the main reason why I like Linux. Go in you software manager (graphical or command line), search the name of the software, click install, done (including all later updates which will happen by themselves without needing a reboot).
On Windows: open browser, search, find and go to company page, find the download page, download the right version (do you need to register first?), dbl-click the exe and install it (while hoping it was the right site and not a virus-ladden copy), reboot (fuck why?), run it, oh shit I need to register as a user, go back to site and do that (possibly pay), finally run it, oh there's already a newer version out ? Go back to square one. That shit gets old FAST when you have hundreds of softwares installed.
Yes, but has there never been evolution of pathogens around vaccines ? I don't see why that shouldn't be possible. After all, it should only take the one right mutation to get it to be ignored by the host immune system...
I came here to write the same thing ! This guy should be on every terrorist list. Talk about destroying an entire art form, forcing hundreds of millions to listen to shit music, 'music' that isn't even meant to be listened to if I understand it correctly, but just danced to. If you can call it dancing as well...
I've long heard that music tastes are formed during adolescence and kept for life, but after a few years and you listen back to this, there's no way you won't say "how did I ever listened to this garbage ?"
But how many of those conspiracy theories are pushed on purpose: to sell a book (many), to sell a patent (original antivaxxer doctor), to sell snake oil (sorry, 'essential' oils) or, more importantly nowadays, to destabilize society. If we were to dig I wouldn't be surprised if most of them came from secret services of various countries and 'targeted' at their enemies, including our own. Only they have ways to spectacularly backfire.
I could have found your post vaguely interesting (albeit probably wishful thinking) if it were not for the unpalatable finale: "Especially the staged shooting events."
I don't root my phone, so I can't use a hosts file. But I found an app that is just as good: it replaces you dns with any you want, and you can give it a DNS that filters out known ad, spyware and other malwares (there are several). It works great and filters out this crap not only from the browser (which I was already doing with Firefox with the usual Adblock), but also from apps.
No shit Sherlock ! Understatement of the year. Anybody with 10 minutes of reading on the subject can see that, so why haven't they been thrown out yet, with prejudice ?
And if not, why not, they are the ones who _constantly_ and _noisily_ ride way above the speed limit. I don't care about the car driver who's going 57 instead of 55. I care about the biker going 60 in a 20mph zone, or 120 on a mountain road.
I had a quick look, and Google Sets is missing from that list. It was used to complete lists of things and was more or less integrated into google search afterwards.
I've spent years in Antarctica where the recycling was incredibly strict for various reasons (piss and shit went to different toilets, to give you an idea...) and there was one person almost full time just to tell the 12 others people where to throw things in the 30 or so different thrash cans ! If it's that complicated it just can't work unless you automate the shit out of the sorting or burn everything together and then sort the dust out in a mass spectrometer.

On the other hand, as far as I'm aware, there are no conclusive observation of black holes, which makes for a much more spectacular headline.
And by the way, as of an hour ago, that's not true anymore
Also orbiting black holes loses energy pretty fast due to (again) radiating it as gravitational waves and get closer on a relatively short timespan. Stars don't, so orbiting stars (in double systems) don't collide.

Installing software is terrible.

I can think of a few reasons - calendar reminders and email notifications
Then use a callendar program and an email program. Stop trying to cook chicken and shoot rhinos with a browser.

You think Norway is in the tropics ? For the harshest temperature, eventually they'll have insulated battery packs and internal heaters or some such.

If you divide by number of dogs, Dalmatians are the worst of all, before cocker spaniel... OT...
Also, since you can compile C with a C++ compiler, you should have MORE potential security holes in C++ than in C...

I don't see where frustration is coming from, as these days it's so easy to start and stop subscriptions.
I don't know, bittorrent 'subscriptions' have been working fine for over a decade...
Yup, this is the kind of shit that should get him booted off the service. Will serve as a warning for the next set of morons.
On average humans have one tit and one testicle...
Take up a hobby like free solo climbing. All you need is a pair of rock climbing shoes, and they will last you a lifetime... Much cheaper !
