How long would it take to build a classifier to recognize and flag probably-manufactured bugs?
In an arms race, "how long does it take to (reach the next level playing field)" is a relevant factor. A temporary measure is temporary, but it protects for as long as it lasts.
Well-asked questions are not a monopoly of Humanities.
But humanities is what comes out of a rational exploration of which questions are worth asking.
If you only ask practical questions, you are not acting as a human, but as a robot. Any one could manipulate you and make a slave out of you, and you wouldn't even notice.
You can pretty much say exactly the same about computer science.
-There are no physical interactions other than at the level of electrical currents on silicon;
-there's no precise classification about what constitutes "computing" other than Turing-equivalent models;
-you can be sure that social interactions are going to affect you, even if you moved deep in a forest hunting and cut all communications (which you won't);
-and you betcha there are no developers who agree on the same likes and dislikes or general ideas about the field; and as a group they will act as a group above all the people who can't program.
Humanities is an academic approach to studying human endeavors, or how people act and what have they created; no more or less. Understanding comes from applying rational and systematic methods to the objects studied.
For what it's worth, comp-sci is the academic approach to study information processing; and many engineers don't see much value in it either.
Fast to open, my ass. Virtually every time I reopen Notepad++ it complaints about having to update all the plugins and the dialog blocks the app, forcing a decision which potentially had to update the whole application.
If I want a reliable, instant plain-text empty buffer for pasting or typing, MS Notepad is the way to go. I hope this update doesn't screw it.
I have several MS Office apps open right now, and you can still pretty much control the whole thing by keyboard alone. I count being able to use point&click as a plus, given that it is an option, not mandatory.
Oh, and the first MS Word version I used was 6.0, so it's not a generational thing.
I want to go towards this thing for the sugar, but I want to stay away from the element
So? That pretty much looks likes subtraction, which is how you arrive to zero to begin with. It feels natural that the bees information processing follows that logic.

the fact there is life in a desert today does not mean that life can arise in a desert
The argument for life in Mars is that in the past, maybe, it had regions that were not a desert. If at some point in the past there was water, a denser atmosphere and a source of heat like volcanoes, some simple life might have formed that could have survived when conditions become harsh.
Past performances may not be representative for future results. There's no guarantee that people will find ways to make money in the new world juste because it happened before; and we have never had fully autonomous machines before our times. In fact the number of jobs is already going down, and that decline is concentrated in the less paying, less qualified jobs. Technological unemployment: much more than you wanted to know
Your example of automobiles shows that new technology may have a huge impact in the amount of individuals who can survive in the post-adoption world: the number of horses and mules dropped to merely a 14% of the original amount during the first half of the 20th century, as there were no jobs where those beasts could be employed with at a price that sustained their existence. Are you OK with that happening to workers unable to adapt to jobs that pay enough?
It only takes one decent WASM platform to make web OS compelling. If developers can take their web development knowledge and build native apps with it, which also double as web apps with little effort, that's a very compelling proposition.
anybody who can afford to drive will still do so, because the car runs on exactly your schedule, and goes exactly where you want to go.
I can afford to drive all the way to my job, but I leave the car mid-route and take the train to the city center. This is so to avoid the huge morning and evening traffic jams, and because I can go reading or web-browsing during half the ride. This combination takes about 1/4 longer than going all the way by car, but it's worth it.

So slow, yet it catches everyone.
Man, I knwe Linux was all about supporting old devices, but this is Steampunk-grade.

Heck, even 200 kms would be quite a long stretch in Europe.
Even if 1 mile equals 1,6 kms, 322 kilometers is still a long way (enough to pass through several large historical cities).
Alexo's post was stressing that Europeans (other than from UK) would express this saying in kilometers, not miles.
It doesn't seem any more efficient than the hexagonal design patented by bees a few millennia ago.
This one is tridimensional.

Liability is a form of regulation.
Bad luck, then. Office 2003 had icons in the menu items.

Uh? I had this enabled several months ago. Is this one of those features that gets rolled progressively, and I was lucky?
Or may be it's because I'm not in the US and they launched it at countries with non-English languages before?

I'm pretty sure it was the other way around. The film Battle Royale is from year 2000.

Strangely, I can't see Stallman endorsing that particular name.

That's great as a practice on structures. Not for testing their understanding of the strength of materials theory.
