That is only partially true. From what I see there are different types of coding these days than 30ya. Back then you had to code all yourself or use few libraries that were available. Today you still have complex infrastructure projects requiring proper engineering skills (which reach well beyond coding) on one side of he scale and bits and pieces that require just gluing few things and a nice user experience sort of thing. This is not to say one is better than the other but coding as it were (i.e. the complex 'infrastructure' projects I mentioned before) is just one of the many areas. There is huge amount of assembling stuff from complicated pieces of software for instance where coding is not required but knowledge about huge modules that are being phased out and new ones being phased in. Many different things. To use a car analogy - the blacksmith that could do anything for the horse and the cart has been replaced by many specialists doing different things from engine research, battery, mechanics and passenger protection and now some thing that you can assemble the things from modules and work only on some sw and have a car anyway - which is probably true to some extent already. This CS courses are a silly simplification to the needs that were there 20ya. Today it is more like knowing how to use basic tools and small scripting that is needed in some places. Not sure if even that is needed for most of humans walking the earth today.
He installed win10 on VBox and let it go idle for 10h while he dreamt of dragons etc. So whatever you do, you should not have anything running that goes on and tells mama and papa - hey I am here etc. Whether this is the same or different servers or one or many cluster(s) is irrelevant too.
Well a short check against other countries with high level population of immigrants living off welfare (this does not include US as the welfare for immigrants is rather not existent or?) like Austria may give you a clue. But indeed Sweden's rape laws and this particular case are way off the mark for a reasonable country.
I have to agree. I have seen so many people coming to us straight from university that could code java and would not accept that they need to know anything about basics like memory management for instance - I mean we have gc so why should we bother, right? What I noticed over the years is that real basic coding tool that is always very helpful and without which you cannot code and design stuff properly is brains. Refusal to use it usually leads to situation where any programming language is bad for the task.
Just before/. wets itself with all this comps won a go game - there is still a small difference between 2d player from France and a professional players taking part in professional leagues in Japan, China and Korea. It is indeed a respectful result beating 2p professional. I wonder how that performs with people on the top of the league tho.
Limiting the number of platforms was probably necessary - costs of keeping them all were just crippling the company. Going for MS was probably the biggest mistake but this was just an effect of not keeping a narrow but SW strong base for their mobiles software. In other words: they fucked up already before and MS was just a last nail into their coffin. Speaking of which: Nokia is still producing quite some infrastructure projects and selling them to operators worldwide so talking about their death is bit premature. They lost on phones - so did another Nordic company in Sweden.
that is because the powers that be share quite a lot of common traits. They do not share all the ideology that they show support of but that is another thing.
Most of modern technology is a mystery to most of people. They have no clue how it works and soon that it does in the first place. It is desired to be so (some hippy greens claimed long time ago that electricity comes from the wall and not from the power plants and this was already in 60ties of last century). For some of this people the belief in supernatural will be based on what they know and that is little. When this sort of ignorance reaches the ruling elite there will be only short time before dark ages. I wonder how likely it is to happen say in next 50years.
That may be true but most of what is written anywhere in this world is meaningless drivel so the problem of losing meaning does not exist really. The need to obfuscate neither I admit. This leaves us with people that actually have something to say. I reckon there would be a tiny minority among them, that would want to have such service but that also means its production would most likely be economically unfeasible.
Then there are trolls and 50c soldiers which could use the service of course but I guess it is easier to automate them than to obfuscate their activity.
Fuck if that makes sense. I do not see why I should follow anything religiously. Religion maybe, but even here you should use brain not to get abused by the truths dispensers trying to rob you or put their dick where it does not belong (and I say it not as a faith hater, neither I am religion hater). You use what suits you best and what you can use in a team. Pairs are good for some combinations of people, tasks and organisations. Sometimes other ways are better. A review of a document may or not be done (on top or not) - whatever is suitable. That religious following is what burnt scrum for me. This and abuse by managers that thought of it as a best method of getting rid of responsibility while getting bonus for removing project and system management. I think that is the same as what communists did - forced everybody to do the same and in the same way. It has to fail. Then as long as company achieves profits and can pay my salary I do not give a flying fuck - they tell me to do my job in the toilet then nobody will be able to use it - perfect, why should I care.
After all these years in software development and around, the only tool that I see as vital is rhetoric skill, used to tell managers what I think without abusing them verbally and in a way they can understand. They pays handsomely to use and is immense fun to watch them realize how big a cluster fuck they managed to cause. As with everything else (including pair programming and code review) use with care.
There was another German politician that had an opinion on visions - he meant to call a doctor if you have any. Kind of agree with him now even if I also see a need for a goal or vision if you will I also see where it leads in normal case.
They can ask Merkel for help in that - she has the necessary experience and I am sure majority of Germans would agree with her leaving for good. She is also good in not saying anything meaningful so nobody will notice what has happened...
There is more to it with nuclear reactors and fear of them. It is indeed Greens stupidity to 'fear' all new development in any area they consider untenable. That is a politically motivated decision - they just want to force certain things. So far so good but the friendship of government with the drunken plumbers associations of nuclear industry means that to get what Greens want they have to agree with letting old plants run and for longer than planned times. Everybody is happy because they achieve their goals - Greens 'got rid' of the nuclear energy and nuclear energy industry can concentrating on profit from existing plants which is good because building new ones is proven to be complex and very very expensive. The policy does not make too much sense but if all actors are happy pretending they won there is no way anything will change.
'would'??? So you say we have no working waste disposal but 'would' be able to fix the problem if we 'could' fix NIMBY problem. Wow that is a small task. Go and fix it today cowboy!
As for cheap I do not know - the nuclear is subsidized only in different ways than say solar panels. The start of the panels were subsidized by Germans mostly. Once the production facilities were everywhere and forced prices down the subsidies were not needed anymore. Nuclear has been heavily subsidized by powers that be too. The only difference is that they never fixed this 'already fixed' waste problem and insurance is still subsidized. The price hikes on new reactors are faster then the building firms which means costs are almost out of control. Plus it is difficult to manage nuclear device when it works and when it goes out of control there is a huge problem what to do with the smoking pile of shit that remains. You may argue they are safe but if we build and use as much of them as you want then chances of accidents will multiply too. We may still be forced to use them but the way it looks like now - we can invest in so called renewables and in efficiency thus reducing the need for the nuclear besides special applications.
The lower birth rates are a good thing - the world has limited capacity and resources, packing things and going to the west to settle in free land (that is the one belonging to redskins before they got removed) is not really an option today. OC something like decrease of population is a practical problem - shot does not flow well in villages and small cities in east of Germany because there is not enough shitters so water works people have to go around and flush the system. It is just one such example but generally World is better of if there are not so many of us. Or to put it another way - until we find out how to reach to other worlds it is better to keep the population level in check.
me thinks.
Current flow of so called refugees in EU consist of many people - Syrians are a minority there. BTW: according to world bank there were billions of people that earned less than 1k$ per year - I wonder how do you plan to integrate all of them. Take any mass immigration to a country where most of space is already occupied and you get bloody conflicts. This worked that way since we started living in cities. I would be surprised if it worked differently this time.
Actually that is not true. According to German Office for Immigration and Refugees (german: BAMF) there were 1.1m people that came to work and registered in Germany in 2014. In the same year ~450k left the country. These people are usually productive and working (even if their income is small) and are more or less integrated. I can imagine that similar happened in 2015 with a difference that so called refugees (or what BAMF recognizes as refuge seekers) added to the mix - there are no official figures for whole of 2015 yet but estimates pointing to at least 1.1m additional people that came here illegally due to borders being removed completely. These two groups are so different especially with regard to integration that you cannot talk about almost anything that they may have in common.
The point here is that immigration is kind of working thanx to open borders in EU which support flowing in if need be and going back home if nothing to do. This however is all fucked up completely by mass of immigrants called refugees who on average indeed do not integrate well. So multikulti works sometimes and sometimes not. People claiming it does not work at all are as wrong as those claiming no problems and full integration as soon as all newcomers get a residence permit.
I read that and I thought - oh god because I imagined the person you would contact if you answered (if it were a person) - a smelly and sweaty big black guy from Nigeria telling you 'I would love my hubby' but I need few bucks for a ticket etc. Now I can type on my keyboard only because I cleaned it from the ginger tea that I was drinking while reading....
This is OT but I need to say it - TFA is just garbage but the comments are almost as good as in old times of/.

It's not - it's a revolutionarily better transportation service and has improved so many people's quality of lives.
I had a good laugh at that.

condoms for the poor of the world would do too.
Actually according to German media most of these people are engineers, doctors and mothers with little children.
From this side of the pond that is significantly less funny.
Better based on what criteria - brutality?

This is remarkable to the point. You can have a look at unemployment levels and wonder about this.
