No debugger is going to help you understand most of the concepts in a good CS curriculum. It isn’t coding school, it’s learning how computers work at the most fundamental levels.

Absolutely. It is worth noting that Tesla was experiencing "production hell" at the time, so obviously Musk was under a ton of stress. That doesn't excuse the behavior, but does make it easier to understand. Frankly, Musk sho

If you're going to quote, at least quote correctly. "pedo guy" was the insult.

How does having public funding for communication help? Having a zoom equipped laptop available for use in a county building isn’t much of a stretch. Public funding of communication will also guarantee spying.

Which side is that, exactly? On one hand we have big oil and pretty much every industrial polluter globally, and on the other hand we have academia which "lines their pockets" by finding ever more questions that need answering, an

The TV of my childhood took so long to warm up, you'd be standing there for at least 5 seconds wondering if it had turned on at all before seeing something. Usually it was the click of a relay and the hum of a capacitor soaking up a fi

This was said a couple years ago when Fort McMurray burned, or before that when Barriere was wiped out. And let's not forget California, which seems to lose a town every year now, or the Australian wildfires of 2020 which was very news

You may be surprised to learn that places that have had a fire can get them again, only a few years later. It doesn't take a lot of fuel to create a fast moving fire. Grasses and weeds can grow quickly after a forest fire. Certainly ma

Cellular being backdoored by design might have something to do with it too. Although I think it really is just a $$$ question; cellular providers didn't want utilities competing with handsets for service, so utilities built their own.

The requirements for nuclear plant operators are quite a bit more burdensome than the new rules for drone operation. Flying a drone doesn't even require a drug test! Not the same at all.

What subjective probability is at play? None of us were there, or even in court. Maybe something very traumatic to Mr. McAfee happened that day. Would that inform some of his later recklessness?

Because in an OS like Linux or Windows, the kernel is sharing out access to the machine by managing the hardware's lowest levels of controls, which applications do not have access to. That's not even including the fact that proces

Electric vehicles certainly went up in profile, and not by a little bit. The bicycle industry had significant growth as well. Related?

Is there any evidence that "helping" people by handing out free money actually results in good outcomes? Seems that it usually results in a bigger population of homeless, as they flock in from other parts of the country. Seriously
