I'm 60, and my career path has been anything but straight. I've held positions ranging from 3 to 6 years, which count among the longest I've ever had. My resume reads like an adventure story or disaster map, depending on who

Interesting. How does bird strike on one engine shut down all systems? Aren't there a left/right engine system and an auxillary? The same video was updated today, and he conjectured it may have been they shut the wrong engine down

Tell that to the largest company in the world, Nvidia that adopted SPARK for their high-integrity, high-security firmware.

I find Ada/SPARK2014 much easier to learn than Rust, and given its legacy, Ada programmers are of a higher quality for the high-integrity market than Rust at the moment. The fandom of Rust is a positive and attracts a lot of early adop

They've been using safe languages like Ada and SPARK2014 for decades, and those are hardly unsafe. In fact they are safer and more mature than Rust and easier to learn IMHO.

I like the Betamax vs. VHS, X vs. Mastodon bit, because technically if you want a safe, high-integrity programming language today, you would choose SPARK2014, the Ada language that has a legacy of mission-critical real-world software projec

Turning off camera LEDs and recording video is an old hack and old news. This is for a specific firmware and computer model and attack surface via USB to update the webcam's firmware, so I am assuming that makes it news? EDIT: I keep a

I am looking to create my show control software in SPARK2014/Ada, so I'll have to see if I can have Ironclad run on an AMD or Intel board and interface with my controller. Looks very promising!

It's why we are planning on using Ada/SPARK2014 for our show control automation software and rewriting C drivers on the hardware being used for the show action equipment in SPARK2014. Nothing else is close at the moment. Looking f

I would definitely be up for a new Spore-like game with a dash of Bioshock. There are not enough "wet" games out there vs. hard sci-fi, fps, or space games.

Yes definitely helps me feel clear or on my mental game. That was why I mentioned fuzzy. I now think this is why a steak dinner does sort of the same for me mentally when I just have steak with no carbs, veggies, or sweetened drink.

I still have the two Artificial Life volumes from the Santa Fe Institiute proceedings from 1989. Alien Life looks like you could easily get lost in another world with this simulation. I remember awaiting the game Spore with music by Brian E

I only use it when training hard, otherwise, you might as well flush it. Anecdotally, I feel I can squeeze out a bit more and I am not as fuzzy during the activity. I can't speak too much about how I feel during recovery or muscle grow

Thank you! That's definitely a great way to look at it. Complacency and habit breed accidents. Although not the the Boeing/mechanical issues. Still worried about the ghost in the machine or gremlins!

Yeah, you should have more concern over human error and Boeing than this. But, boy, the more I have flown and the older I am, the more I get anxious during turbulence when I fly.

I think a matching industry company, but not necessarily a better counter example, would be SpaceX vs. NASA, for better or worse, and obvious reasons. They are trying to change the launch-and-trash model to reuse, so this requires a paradig

NASA is neither a public or private company, but rather a government agency. Congress is an employee of the US taxpayer. I think that makes them more of a manager of NASA and we should hold Congress accountable.

There are a few articles of using J or APL for ANNs and CNNs out there. Here's one: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1912.05234

And Pandas was inspired by J per a quote in an article I once read about Wes McKinney, but I cant seem to find it online any longer.

Try J or APL, K, BQN, or April, and be prepared to rethink how you implement solutions to problems you've tackled in other PLs. I am an array language user and fan. I have been playing with April and I use J regularly at home and somet

Most people I know who actually learn an array language like k or j usually grow to appreciate the expressiveness and cleverness of these languages. Typically, people have your reaction who have only looked at it and tried it very briefly.
