nothing to do with programmers, that is pure "wiring" of hardware. PDP-11 is "little endian" for 16 bit values, and for the 32 they did that weird thing. though you might also be interested to know deep in the bowels of OpenVMS (formerly vax vms) that PDP-11 order appears in places including in some filesystem values.
I wonder if this were 100 or 200 years ago a person like Feinstein would be saying the same about sports or exercise inciting violence. those also are ways for a normal sane person to "blow off steam" in a way that oft times mimics certain aspects of violent acts or behavior.
no, those are instances of what are called "paper bullshit wealth" and they can disappear in an instant. another example would be the "Federal Reserve Note"
very normal for new tech, almost all ideas don't pan out. to extend that something relevant to all the startup-wannabes here on slashdot, making a new software or service is easy, marketing it is extremely hard. so most fail.
we also convert photons to electricity with solar panels. if we ever had efficiency over 25% in mass produced panels, with energy return in less than two years we'd be golden.....but until such day gen iv reactor nuclear power to heat steam seems better option
well CAD software is roughly in complexity on the order of an operating system, might be over decade with all the developers one could wish for an AutoCAD or Pro/E or solidworks grade product. there's a reason people pay $4,000 - $30,000 for this stuff
it strongly overlaps with programming, engineers do program. but it takes man-decades of work to make a decent CAD software. I'm 50 already, I don't have the (life) time
haha, but you realize what makes one end of a stick move when the other end is pushed? those forces propagate at much less than light speed, a stick initially compresses when one end is pushed, and the compressed wave propagates.
what would the USA going into insolvency have to do with it? we don't make stuff, and China is growing markets and resource acquisition in southeast asia, africa, and south america.
but as we turn into a police state, the government now will freeze a persons bank account when there is any "unusual activity", causing hardship for good people.
there is a solution for this problem, the founding fathers knew such things arise from time to time, and so built solutions into our system
that's pretty much what these "solar craft" are, a glider with wings big enough to hold enough solar panels for a teeny tiny motor. a non-practical farce that does not advance any state of the any art.
I'll argue with that, at 50mW it would have to be mirror or very polished metal flat surface to cause eye damage, not curved doorknob or bulb reflector or chrome car bumper which will spread the beam to "avoidance reflex" luminance. How many people blinded or partially blinded by laser light have you heard of, there are more people with spot blindness from welding.
not at all, clustered filesystems talking normal system create/write/read have been around for decades. For example AFS, with as many "controllers" as you want, no special API, and easy admin and replication. sure, write performance slow, but it's a robust filesystem 30+ years old.
Support to a large corporation for mission critical apps means much more than just having some forums to answer questions, there is no way a small company could hope to provide such.
I've worked with sparc machines for decades, Sun/Oracle is losing market share in SPARC realm, less than 5% now. it's dying, write it off, very little place in server world any more. Virtualization and IBM's various PPC architectures and x86-64 is eating its lunch. When an x86 server has a failure no one gives a shit, we pop the blade out, fix it, and slap it back in to join the virtualization cluster.
clustered file systems are decades old, this Gluster of which you speak is not suitable for serious financial computing as no mature software exists for it. and the company that makes it only has 60 employees, they are going to support a fortune 500's accounting wares? nope...
psychopass - ubiquitous scanners connected to a master system can tell if a person's "criminal coefficient" is high enough to warrant therapy, being institutionalized or needing summary execution.

not quite, PDP-11 has its own mixed-endian called "PDP-endian", e.g. 2143.
many cool processors are bi-endian, they can go either way.

having worked with the internals of various OS and CAD systems, I'm laughing.

no, Sketchup can't even do serious 2D drafting, which AutoCAD does. so that's what I continue to use.
you only need the "heavy hitters" for designing real things in the real world: buildings, bridges, dams, machined parts, etc.
too bad open source world doesn't have viable solution yet.

also having a bunch of money isn't illegal

chuck norris did too. then one pissed him off, and that was the end of them.
haha, it couldn't carry the pesticide for crop dusting, the thing is practically useless.

if that were true we'd never have drought . there is no such equilibrium, it is a chaotic system
how about "never give a sucker an even break", later used by WC Fields?
