I can't imagine that tracking cell phone emissions is the simplest way to estimate the number of people in a line. I also can't imagine this is the only thing they are doing/planning to do with the data.

ISS too. Its budget is more than double that of planetary exploration. EDIT: Just the budget for getting crew and equipment to/from the ISS is roughly the same as the entire planetary science program. And ISS is also a program that jus

I don't remember the reporting on the Belgacom hack mentioning that they were casually querying X-KEYSCORE as they reportedly did here to identify potential targets.

The most expensive part I think I ever bought was a SP0256 speech synth chip, $30 or so. I don't think I ever got it working.

I'm not sure I'd hold up Stuxnet as an example -- it did little to impact the Iranian nuclear program and only invited retaliation: http://www.techtimes.com/articles/32209/20150211/edward-snow...

Not as negligible as we were previously led to believe. There have been at least five "incidents" each of which could have started WWIII -- and as far as physical safeguards, a single switch once kept a bomb from detonating on our

I like this one ( http://www.atariarchives.org/bca/ ) -- it's basically several Oregon Trail-like games, but explains both the historical context and simulation models used in each game.

The JVM also has probably the most man-years of effort into GC optimization. One thing the CLR has going for it is value types, which make arrays-of-struct possible (instead of arrays-of-refs-to-objects). I assume Go supports this too.

Emulators suffer from bitrot just like the software they're emulating. I've seen several fall into disrepair in recent years -- eventually we'll lose the people that remember how the the old systems worked. Centralizing the d

I think the genre is due for a revival. Another to look at is inkle's 80 Days . It has some simple illustrations, but is mostly a choose-your-own-adventure style interaction with focus on conversation. Very well done.

All three subsystems produce deterministic results. The reasons for this are history not known to me, but it might even be linked to Dual_EC_DRBG. Seriously? I mean rand/srand have been around since what, at least 1980?

AFAIK they use Gradle 2.1, which introduced incremental compilation. Unfortunately it's not yet very good at figuring out dependencies. Gradle was never a speed demon to begin with.
