First software engineering would need to be codified and licensed as an actual engineering profession.

That's very interesting! What work and other activities do you do on it, and how does it compare to the last OS you used full time? I've been curious about BeOS since I read Neal Stephenson's "In the Beginning There Was

Is there anyone who uses Haiku seriously or is it just a nostalgic hobby? Does it have anything that Unix or Windows would want to copy?

Unfortunately no, that won’t work either. No culture can change it’s behavior without significant buy in from the people which takes a lot of work and time, no matter what you’re trying to do. And more money and more people does not usually

WRT to copyright violations, I expect the same thing that has always happened will continue happening. Pirates will stay 3 steps ahead and only legal consumers will be harmed.

What work do you do? Edit: Realized you posted your profile. Did you find it not high enough resolution for you to code in, or do you have work that requires higher resolution?

I didn’t understand why he traced jetliner designs to the B-47 when the cylindrical fuselage idea has been dominant since before WWI. I think he meant to refer to the engines under the wings on nacelles, but when someone gets something that

If sexual images exchanged by a kid are saved to the parent’s phone then doesn’t that put the parent at risk for charges if the kids are sexting?

First I've heard of this game since I got it in a discount multipack with AoE, and something else I can't remember. I had absolutely no idea what was happening when I tried to play (age 9 or so).

So the FAA should hand off regulation of one particular rocket to a different agency because it is not dangerous to the public in one particular aspect? What if they decide to use hydrazine in the maneuvering thrusters? Then it should be ha

Hydrazine is highly toxic and Crew Dragon uses a derivative of it.

Someone like me! I’ve been doing the exact same thing for about a year now. My quality of work is up, and so is my salary. I have more time for family and hobbies. Whenever I’m stuck on a problem and my four hours are up, I right down my th

Are there any approaches to artificial intelligence that do involve qualitative data or don’t rely entirely on statistical inference?

Yeah I did Fi for a year while traveling before I finally overcame my laziness and started going local. Wish I could get that $1200 back.

That's a different pathway, right? I'm imagining someday we use both in bamboo and have massive forests that we continuously cutdown and use for construction and the leftover gets turned into biochar and either used to make more s

I wonder if this can be used for non food plants as well. Can we implant it in trees to grow them much more quickly?

It really looks to me like someone disagreed with you and you took it very personally. You jumped to claiming “offense” first. I think you should reread your thread in a few days when you’ve cooled off.

Wikipedia says all LEO or military authorized to assist the convoy are given a countersign. This is to prevent tricking into a roadblock like you suggest. It also means that legitimate LEO who try to assist will be fired upon by the convoy.

Does anyone have any idea how Pegasus actually works? I haven't found any teardowns or even a clear description of what the iMessage says. This is some kind of code injection attack that can go through a text message?

I'm sure there's a lot of things the military has done once or twice at immense cost in controlled settings. They (or you?) said a superpower can currently take down Starlink with lasers. That's just not true, and the fact th

You’ve commented this twice. I’ve never read about any technology approaching this. Lasers are in tests to defeat small, slow, low altitude drones. If anyone could shoot down an entire satellite constellation with lasers then that would mea
