Is this situation really odd? I personally believe it is the norm. The conditions to have a rebellion are two: 1/ Sufficient people around the place dreaming/hoping/yearning for change; 2/ An unusual event that cannot b

I don't know. When I was living there, interpersonal relationship among Americans always seemed very shallow and greedy. Generally the first contact was very welcoming, then, nothing beyond that. It felt as if any socialization was fir

That, sir, is a total waste of time. You have my sincere admiration!

Agree. I would really like to hear what is the upside / sales pitch of NATS compared to an Erlang server (that, BTW, supports SCTP out of the box).

It's actually partially true. The NYCT signalling system is more like a sandwich. At the bottom they have a legacy system called AWS. It is built using a logic of relays that will raise or lower mechanical arms on the tracks. When the

The guys at Lucasfilm games almost got it perfectly right when designing SCUMM. Even the spitting in Monkey Island 2.

Very good stuff. The only drawback of this approach is that it must be limited to environments where the state can be stored to allow the time warp. When heterogeneous /hardware/ in the loop enters in the simulation, it becomes im

I confirm that. Once inside network it's a carnage.

It is large scale all across Europe. NHS is only one among many (we are smack in the middle of it)

Well, they are not supposed to, yet... One of the most notorious among gamers when I was a teenager (okaaaaay maybe not strictly a 'text' adventure game) was Delphine Software's infamous 'Operation Stealth' where if

Strange. Software encoded processors techniques have been used for decades to enforce control flow correctness. It's mathematically correct and much stronger than this weak landing pad / shadow stack concept. It also does not rely

There is an other approach. Don't use constructors at all. Back to good old init() and destroy() functions, and use valgrind with automated testing and coverage to ensure nothing gets lost. Delivered systems with zero downtime that way

Yep. Singapore Circle Line is a CBTC (Communication Based Train Control). Trains receive their movement authority through wireless transmission. If due to interferences the transmission is interrupted for more than some seconds, then moveme

It is. The point here is that they have proven that this feature is hack-proof. This is extremely difficult. The article does not give much details, however, Andrew Appel is a very big name in the field.

Go out. Find out about a problem to solve nearby (not YOUR problem, someone else's who you care about). Propose and use your skills to help solve it. Share success. Find next problem...

Matlab had a f##k command. On the prompt, it returned "your place or mine"... Then, in V4, it returned "this command is obsolete". Then it was gone in V5.

Great story. It somehow makes me think of the honored forest people from "Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind".

Distributed systems testing is well studied and applied in industry, but there is significant IP and competitive advantage attached to it. For this reason, papers are rarely published. So, this world is not lost to everyone ;). You will see
