I have published this link because I was chocked when I encountered this news. This does not match with my understanding of police. In such services as DGSI, I would expect to see many smart people who have a true vocation for the service a

EU is mainly European Commission and European Parliament. We have not the same experience as US with lobbying. It is well known that european commission is too much complacent with lobbies and with US influence.

The cost assessment of service missions take into account all the experience gathered when performing them. Even if a replacement telescope is cheaper, you do not learn anything.

Everyone should be able to create digital media, not just consume it. Everyone should be able to understand their tools, not just use them. People should know that technology is not magic.

I work in ATC simulations. After simulating usual aircraft (like Airbus and Boeing), we try to add models for helicopters or seaplanes. Nobody is asking for simulation of flying carpets or UFO.

The simulation has probably a purpose like solving (or understanding) issues in the outer universe. It would be reasonnable to build the simulated universe as similar as possible to the outer universe.

There are a lot of burglaries in France. The recognition of license plates combined with mobile phone location information would make it possible to identify burglars and even catch them in the act. All the data are available, it would be s

Yes, I know that. C++ is also very much used for game development. C++ allows to build very impressive abstractions that are very handy. The main drawback is that this flexibility has a huge impact on the language. When you switch between t

IMHO, the author is completely wrong and the sentence "C is the desert island language" is closer to reality (see http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/c/intro.html ). The fact that such a poor langu

"The majority are not complicit in anything." I disagree. I have heard a mother who was complaining that the police had not arrested her son earlier before he became a gangster. I think she was complicit by not giving a proper edu

IMHO, the conclusion is that HashKnownHosts is as harmfull than usefull because it creates a false sentiment of security.

Apple build advanced products with vertical integration (taking risks, but with a high profit margin). Microsoft sells "cheap" software (historically using nasty commercial tactics). Google is an AI company. By luck, trying to giv

If you are insured, your probability of death is probably greatter than when you are not insured. Even not considering murder, you will probably take more risks if you know your family is protected.

This change breaks working applications, is difficult to notice and has no clear benefits. The same occurs when compilers use standard's undefined behaviour for micro optimizations.

No, the bad practice is on the side of standardisation commitees and all users suffer from it. Recently, I got burned by the removal of the symbol CLK_TCK from a header ( https://github.com/Orc/pdksh/issues/1 )

The usage of natural language to write legislations about internet will always create ambiguities and loopholes. I think regulations should be writen in a mathematical language with proof of consistency and unambigous reference implementati

IMHO, machine learning is a tiny aspect of the issue. The main issue is that, strangely, C is still the desert island language (first hit: http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/c/intro.html ). The is a huge in

I do not like the GOF book. Some of the patterns appears sometimes in my code, but the book has never helped me to program better or helped me to think about my code. The single benefit I got from this book is that it gaves me words to expl

Sometimes a strategy becomes reliably successful, the people start to notice, then it stops working. Do not be lazzy. The only way to earn money in trading is to work hard to gather information and to analyse it. This gives you an advantage

Yes Linux is cheaper because you do not need to change your computer as often. It is also cheaper because you spend far less time for system administration. Since may 2017 (when I bought my last computer), I have a dual boot windows/ub

I think that one of the cultural opposition to military applications is the presence of NDA. I think all NDA shall be limited in time. There should be also a law so that NDA not limited in time or with an exagerate time limit are void. The
