What you are saying is that it is possible in theory, but no one has done it yet. So in some future were someone rewrites all C++ compilers to not be so slow then we won't need to compromise. Most C++ devs have to work with tools that

It doesn't have to be the extreme opposite as you described. Plenty of apps benefit from some stuff being done on the client and the server.

This seems more like "A few random habits of developers with basic competency". The only developers I have met who copy code directly from the Internet into their code without attempting to understand it first are the same develop

You make it sound like we already know about most of the problems and there is a ton of room for improvement in the current systems. Isn't this exactly what Musk and his employees are good at fixing? I have seen no reason to bet agains

This story has several examples! Anything that lets and attacker work around security precautions is that kind of information. Right now the list of airports and countries is a physical security vulnerability because an attacker can just go

Doesn't that already describe Earth? We could accidentally fire nukes, accidentally let a GM smallpox strain out, accidentally start WW3, we could do so much as it is. That is beside the point anyway. Presumably the first people to go

The biggest problem to fixing earth is the people with politics that fly in the face of reality. Mars Doesn't have republicans, so I think it would be easier to terraform than earth.

What if instead of being stupid they were artificially limited in some other way? Perhaps, they wanted a more comprehensive laptop ban but were stopped by someone.

Any time that when that information falls into the hands of attackers and enabled them to make more effective plans. I do not know if this is that case, but there is a class of information that when made public reduces safety. The problem i

That is a perfectly valid reason in isolation. The problem with that in aggregate is that we don't know when the government or abusing its power. When is the government telling the truth or not and what policies lead to these decisions

I don't think he was talking about thermodynamic efficiency. But filtering efficiency. Filtering one big power plant is easier than filtering many independently owned cars. Also the power plants filter is stationary and the cars filter

But Musk's numbers are much lower than everyone else's and he usually some percentage late, Not decades. Sometimes he is even on time. He does things that many claim are literally impossible, who cares if they come 10% later and t

This seems unbelievable. That is 500 charge discharge cycles at 200 miles apiece. Since there are only 365 days in a year This means that your friend was driving more than 270 miles a day meaning he was at 55 mph that is 5 hours a day. This

Is it possible that Musk has solved the problem, much like he or his employees have solved countless other tech problems, but Musk also knows what makes a sexy headline. Spot welding is hard to sell as flashy and new. If you can't do i

How could it be conclusive? It is really hard to make objective declarations when messy things, like people, are involved.

Being nice doesn't mean you need to be vulnerable. Being uneducated or otherwise deficient is how you become vulnerable. That council members choice of words was a self portrayal and a critical one at that. Honest and hard self-critiqu

I am not sure if you are being astounded or astoundingly cynical. I do not think this kind of success is repeatable. I also not convinced this wouldn't have been better with the last politician in the first place. I see no reason the l

Perhaps its not a binary thing. It seems an organization can be more business-like or government-like in a variety of ways. I mean look at insurance companies and their draconian forms to be filled out in triplicate for the littlest thing a

Just as that person was 1 of 10,000 learning something for the first time today, I hope that today you learned that not everyone has exactly your set of knowledge. Also consider that it is quite likely that person is an expert in several t

Change the law and make them liable. This would let the market solve the problem, but there is no way microsoft, cisco and the like would go for it.

You are applying logic to politics, if that worked we wouldn't have problems. We demand Iran disarm to shame them on the world stage as violators of non-proliferation treaties, and we only do this because they are our "enemy"

This is so obvious and true that everyone cannot help but overlook it. What happened to the days when the NSA helped make world class crypto like AES256 in a public forum?

I agree with your assessment that one minimal is fundamentally better than a another newer one. I fail to see how replacing windows XP with a minimal can do anything other than result in an improvement.

I think you are totally correct both in your view that some take goods things too far and that this isn't the first time this pattern has been repeated. I wonder what things I am expounding now that I will pull back on in the future?

People have a constrained view. They see their own problems and have seen the "old" way do nothing but fail and the "new" way do nothing but succeed. What other reaction would you expect? If they actively researched and

We were talking about hospital infrastructure (but your example is worth discusing), I was not advocating re-certifying already deployed implants. Things like the software that runs MRI machines or stores medical records is buggy bloated cr

If the certification disallowed extra garbage that would do it without a gun. > It's easy to sit back and cast judgement when you don't deal with that industry I work making special purpose appliances right now, well maybe not

I would argue I know because I have done many interviews, not nearly as many as the author of the article. Most interviewer candidate are about as qualified as a stuffed animal, except I would allow a stuffed animal in the office because th
