Most people who answered this question have no knowledge allowing them to make an informed decision on this question. A good portion of them have never even thought about the question. Some of them weren't even sure what an autonomous vehicle is.
All of these people came up with an opinion, because it was asked of them on the spot. This is the kind of opinion that will change when the wind changes.
In echoing your comment I would suggest that everyone try out Node.js to understand what all the hype is about: it's not the quality of the system itself (which is rather garbage), it's the quality of the developer UI. Nice and easy to get stuff done.
I lived through the 1990s, and I don't remember anyone saying that applets were better than Javascript in terms of security.
What makes you think Javascript is so secure? It's not.
Webassembly is better than Javascript in terms of security, because the definition is more precise, simpler and clearer. It's easier to correctly sandbox Webassembly than Javascript. It wouldn't be surprising if someday, in order to improve security, the browser just compiled all Javascript to Webassembly because of security reasons.
Yeah, don't use a well supported tool with massive module library and crazy amounts of tooling support.
You mean C? Oh, you mean Perl? Wait, you mean Python? Or is it Java? Or C#? Maybe you're talking about Go?
The reality is, there are plenty of options with massive libraries and crazy amounts of tooling support. Javascript is popular because it's the only option in the frontend.
As long as we're on it, while it's true that Node has a massive module library, the vast majority of everything in there is garbage.
When Webassembly gets access to the dom, the Javascript craze will begin its decline.
There are some aspects of Node that are really nice though, mainly the ease of use of the CLI. If that were combined with a better security system and less feature churn, it would be great.
Autonomous cars need to be at SAE level 4 (otherwise they are not autonomous). Currently self-driving technology is at SAE level 3, which means a human has to be constantly ready to take over. It looks like we're going to need actual algorithmic advances before a car can reach SAE level 4.
It seems likely that autonomous cars could lower that number significantly.
This is definitely true, but getting to SAE level 4 is required. At SAE level 3, the driver needs to sit there babysitting the vehicle, which is a worse user experience than actually driving yourself.
Just as important as the open-source OS: I don't need permission from the manufacturer to install apps......or anything else on the device. That is an important aspect of openness.
Here's a movie of what happened. One of the ships is unfortunately not shown, but the tanker made a very sharp turn into the warship. It's hard to think of a scenario where that was a good idea. Maybe there was more than one warship, and the tanker was trying to avoid the other warship.
It's open, that's basically it. There is a constant trail of pain that follows the iPhone, every year or so there's another story that reminds why a closed system is problematic.
The tanker ran into the warship. Coming into port the water can get crowded, with two-way, large-ship traffic. The warship was hit on the port side, which is a strong indication it had the right of way.
If any vehicle was hacked here, it was the tanker. While GPS jamming/spoofing is possible, getting it to reroute into a specific other ship is not an easy hack.
Staying at the forefront is much easier than getting there in the first place.
It's not too much trouble reading the research and keeping up with a field. Even going to conferences and networking is fun and not too time consuming.
It takes ten years to get to the forefront of most fields (that is, getting a PhD, with perhaps an extra two years to spare). Doing it the second time is not a huge problem, and takes 6 years (or 4 years if the field is related).
If you're willing to work at it, you can do that several times by the time you are 40, and have a long time to apply that knowledge in life. It's just a matter of whether you want to do it or not.
So does Windows and Visual Studio, tbh.
At my lost job, I ran Visual Studio in a VM on a Linux machine, through a laptop with x-forwarding. The VM with x-forwarding worked great.
Slashdot Mirror
rule 18: "Look to the right, give way to the right, turn to the right and stay to the right." At least one of those ships failed.
I think the tanker was heading roughly 135, not 225.
If the warship was traveling NW to SE, wouldn't the ship (traveling west) have hit the starboard side?

Yeah. People with money to waste shop at Draegers. Whole Foods is for hippies.
How do you use NGINX? (Serious question, I'm trying to understand the uses people have for it).

It's too hard to focus on driving when you don't have to drive.
It seems likely that autonomous cars could lower that number significantly.

That sharp turn to port is a last-minute evasive maneuver
I don't think that's right.......what was it evading? It didn't collide until after it turned.
Basically, the destroyer tried, in full darkness, to cross a busy TSS, through a cluster of cargo ships
How do you know that? The destroyer isn't displayed in the movie.

They're basically trying to follow the Buzzfeed business model. Paying attention to online business models has value.

If you aren't trying to restore your backups often, then AWS Glacier will give you a terabyte of storage for $48 a year (check my math on the pricing)

The only one they had to worry about was #3 or #2. The other two are FUD.
Sounds like a shit experience.

Yeah, Microsoft really messed up on that one.
If you're not going to continue selling software, the only decent thing is to make it open source.
