I've heard from an airline pilot that Airbuses are a lot more driven by the central computer, while in Boeing planes, the pilot has more freedom.

Pure languages are also great for this kind of thing, because of the lack of side-effects (aka Haskell's moto). OCaml manages its imperative parts in a way that isn't as good had Haskell does, but it's probably possible to ge

That's not surprising, given that safety-critical software is very often programmed in Ada or SPARK.

No. It's just that there's no magical recipe for passive income. The best earners invent their methods, and often don't realize that they are building products suitable for passive income generation.

I think we can go as far as saying that the IP addresses' geolocation data are irrelevant. On top of what you mentioned, a lot of companies are already using IP addresses where they shouldn't be, because of the limited quantities

It's the cloud. You have backups and you can spin up a replacement server in a minute. If you don't have backups, you should probably rethink the way you use these services. Hardware fails, inevitably.

I'm happy that it's Amazon that got Twitch and not Google. Google is a great company, but they already have a huge monopoly on video streaming.

They probably just generate a GIF with your beta code, that you enter in your apps. The apps then check against Dropbox's servers whether the code is correct or not, using a hardware ID (HWID) to restrict codes to a single device. Prob

That's really what makes me fear about how far we can push our processors. I don't think Moore's law will hold a lot longer for CPUs, unless we manage to get very good quantum computers very soon.

That's effectively how I see it: as a simple human, I consider light as an instantaneous phenomenon. Its speed seems to be the maximum attainable for about anything, but a man-made processor has the power to execute a simple computatio

A metric that really puts things in perspective is the following: take a common consumer CPU, clocked at 3.4Ghz. That means it executes 3,400,000,000 cycles per second. Divide the speed of light by this number, and you obtain approximativel

I feel that you went a bit overboard regarding Markdown, since it is meant to be a very simple markup language rather than a presentation tool, but this is still very cool.
