We definitely need a place for these dinosaurs to roam freely. It is really the perfect solution. They will build their own zoo. We can keep an eye on them from a distance.
All of my competitors should adopt the author's philosophy of software development immediately. His ivory tower FP idealism is worthy of emulation by all.
I will keep muddling through based on years of experience, leveraging existing code and know-how, maintaining backwards compatibility, planning long-term changes that sometimes take years to complete, deprecating unneeded features in as non-disruptive a manner as possible. And then, when the opportunity arises to do something radically different (like with the C++ "auto" keyword), make it happen. We're called pragmatic programmers. We are clearly losers. Do not emulate what we do.
It's already here. They're called smartphone apps.
Exactly. If the ${INSERT_SPY_ORG_HERE} wants to know what you are doing, you will only be presented with a notice that one of your apps has been updated. The government with the most influence over the companies that control the app stores wins the spy war. There are three majors. They are all multinationals based in the U.S.
When any one of these companies stops playing ball with the U.S., their IRS tax bill will come due. That's your clue to how well they are protecting your privacy.
To get a sense of the energies involved: if you're a light-year way from a supernova, the neutrinos will kill you, even though they barely interact with matter at all.
Complete and utter bullshit. You are pulling numbers out of your ass. I give you the truth. I stopped reading your post after that sentence.
You do realize that "gates of Vienna" is a reference to the Islamic expansion into Europe which was only halted at... Vienna?

Actually, that was my point entirely. I would like this stuff vetted by professionals first. My father was a long-haul driver, so I have quite a bit of respect for the profession. They are going to have a lot more valuable input on the safety of these systems than the general public.
I would think that this sort of technology would be tried out on commercial vehicles (long-haul trucks, local delivery vehicles, taxis, etc.) first, before letting it loose on amateur drivers. I also think it is high time to replace Chicago's CTA drivers (especially on the 'L') with this technology.
Any/. article that talks about security vulnerabilities or exploits and does not reference the relevant CVEs in the summary is a worthless piece of shit.
Might it be one of the most expensive movies ever?
Asks an ignorant troll...
Considering it was made with 25 year old footage, it was probably one of the cheapest movies ever made.
The U.S. spends $324 billion dollars a year on entertainment*. tThe cost of the Voyager II program ($865 million dollars*) over 40 years is equal to about 22 millon dollars per year. A drop in the bucket. The Pioneer and Voyager missions have spawned an entire cottage industry of "science-based edutainment shows" on TV like "Through the Wormhole" and "Cosmos". That program has paid for itself many, many times over.
How do we determine how much to spend on stuff with little or no payback?
I have no idea. But the Voyager mission has certainly paid for itself many times over.
Just wait until the AI has to keep track of liability awards so that it can make the correct decision regarding minimizing liability. At some point you are going to have a stupid jury award and all the cars are just going to refuse to go anywhere because the AI's cost benefit analysis says "just stay in park".
When will Boost ASIO make in into the standard library? C++ really needs something of this magnitude for networking and asynchronous event handling. I have not heard much on N3360 since it was proposed.

Plural of anecdote = data?
And thus you prove to the world one and for all that all those young whipper snappers really are psychopaths.
Wake me up when Apple supports Bluetooth SPP on iOS.

All those bells and whistles come at a cost. The Edison draws about 10x as much power as an Arduino. Much more capable to be sure, but at a cost.
many believe that SELinux is causes more problems than it solves
I've met those people. Not impressed.
I guess that disproves the Big Bang Theory! Now what show am I going to watch?

It's time to start having driver-less automobile races! I'd actually watch the after-race interviews with the pit crews and programmers.

Lack of unsigned numeric types, especially when dealing with binary (octet) data streams. Drives me up the fracking wall.
CVEs or it doesn't exist.
Any /. article that talks about security vulnerabilities or exploits and does not reference the relevant CVEs in the summary is a worthless piece of shit.
Is there any possible way that a 'No Fly List' could be constitutional?
Do American citizens have a constitutional right to fly?
You think your argument is strong with Sun containing 98% of the Solar system's total mass? It is actually something like 99.8%!!
Yep. Here's a good source for the relative masses of the solar system object: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Solar_System_objects_by_size#List. It does not include the Oort Cloud, which is though to contain about 5 Earth masses of material.
So asking questions now equals trolling?
Sure. Sometimes.
How much does it cost to screw your mom? Is it true that she is a cheap whore?
(Note to mods: I am being instructive here.)

My primary desktop has been running Linux since November 1994 (Slackware -> Red Hat -> Fedora). We are going to hit the 2 decade mark in a few months.

I'm looking forward to the Ayn Rand setting. "Me first!!"

Fuckin' commas, how do they work?
