they went one step further and threw it all in the spec to be safe. the result is a language that does everything, good for nothing in particular, that can't be implemented
you are wrong and part of the problem, the necessity and issues caused by rewritng drivers constantly causes problems and wastes time that could be better spent on extending features
I laugh at people who point at all the new Python and C++ numeric stuff whenver Fortran is mentioned, that don't realize 75% of those projects consist of ForTran libraries.
no, not a design at all, just Larry grabbing whatever cool things he saw in other languages and badly cobbling them together into something so huge and intractable the human brain can't handle it. Perl 5 is whale guts, Perl6 is whales fired from trebuchets into the rotors of sky cranes over New Years party in NYC
only immigrants (especially illegals) make the USA population grow, without them it would shrink
The reality is world population will peak about 2070 and then shrink, your claims of how many people can be sustained are without foundation. that is a pure engineering problem with known solutions. Resources aren't disappearing, there is fuel for millenia and any minerals don't disappear. Even the hype about helium is nonsense, most helium just vented from wells at the present. We only have engineering problems, not the guaranteed doom you chicken littles spout, aping without understanding
we're already doing that, I live near the rail hub of the USA and see huge trains full of truck trailers daily.

Autonomous Trucking
·
· Score: 1
Nonsense, not a barrier to automated trucking at all.
Automated rucks can be used in the 99% of cases where this issue doesn't apply. And consider the possibilty of automated 24x7 plowing, salting and snow removal trucks, no need for human crew that gets tired.
this is definitely the future of cargo transport, including automated freight trains
Engineering is a bit different from IT work though, found the BLS stats on that. In 2002 computer tenure was 3.2 years but had risen to 4.8 by 2012. But those classified as "architects and engineers" went from 5.2 to 7.0 years. Maybe some slashdotters should consider "crossing over"; I'm one of those "bi" skill people having engineering degree and switching from engineering job to IT and back as the market in my area changed over the past 30+ years
Tech sector longevity rising since 2002 though, from 3.2 years to 4.8. Engineering you'll notice has longer tenure, from 5.2 to 7.0 years. that could be possibility for many slashdotters tired of pure IT. yup, you'd have to get some training....
Job tenure in USA really hasn't changed much for those over 25 years old according to Bureau of Labor Statistics, was 5 years in 1983, got as low as 4.7 years in 1998, then rising to 5.4 years in 2012.
you are being silly, there are people who see a project through and then leave. No one minded six to 18 month jumps on my resume for a decade because I completed, turned over, and trained people for the projects for which I was hired and employer was delighted with my work. Of course, I explicity stated that on resume.
depends, if you stay for a project, complete the project and move on no one seems to mind even if six months to a year at a time. I did that for a decade in the 90s. Companies don't want a quitter, they do want accomplishment and dependabilty
Slashdot Mirror
yes, there is very well written Perl. It was done in the last decade and before. Not used for new projects so much.
I've masterd Perl, and was highly paid developer in it from 1999 to 2008.
that said, the language is poorly designed rubbish.
sadly, with the advent of Slashdot Beta you just lost the argument bringing that up
they went one step further and threw it all in the spec to be safe. the result is a language that does everything, good for nothing in particular, that can't be implemented
you don't have a few hundred thousand lines of legacy code to worry about, some of us do

it was too late after a decade had passed, they are just embarassing themselves now

deadliest job in USA, over 12% of all work related deaths are of truckers and that usually involving cars. good riddance to people killer
all those lamp lighters had to find another job too, such is progress.

not accurate at all in the USA, BLS shows job longevity for those over 25 years old going from 4.8 years in 1991 to 5.4 years in 2012 and rising

That's rich coming from an AC who can't form a complete sentence.
if bonded there is a name for mixed carbon and hydrogen in a mostly carbon matrix, coal
they should come up with a cool name for your marvelous device, like a pensyllabuscil
and you would have been wrong. graphite is nothing more than stacked and bonded graphene sheets
yes it is, it is graphene bonded and stacked, look it up. that is the reason pencils can write, by the way
