I think what I worry about the most is how poorly the modern web partners with assistive technology: it feels like we're actually taking steps backwards .

Your original statement read to me as an assertion that it's obvious that this radar system defect (and others) exists because the system was developed using C/C++. I think it's a gross oversimplification to state that the av

With respect, I think you and the parent are assuming a level of autonomy among defense contractors that does not exist.

There is so much more to software engineering than choice of language. I think it's entirely possible that defense contractors have more knowledge of the software development lifecycle than you are giving them credit for.

It's important to recognize that they're using C/C++ and the associated ecosystem of static checkers, validated compilers, coding standards, etc.

What use would a major defense contractor have with C#? And on what basis do you assume their code base is poor?

Hah, yeah, it's hard to draw deep inferences from that data. They (IIHS) do have limited death statistics broken down by model, and Porsche is never near the upper end. The data is actually pretty interesting to pour over: you see so

In my mind, that leads to scenarios where the government "asks" someone to sign a confession. That's been done before, and it doesn't end well.

From your first link: "Getting a driver's license after turning 16 years old has become a lengthier process in recent years, as regulators instituted more safety hurdles. That has also led to a sharp decline in teenagers who are d

And the HVAC system. I don't know but wouldn't be surprised if the HVAC system on Teslas, in addition to the cabin environment, had some responsibility for the battery and motor thermal management too.

> The number of teenagers with driver's licenses is the lowest in history. The value of such a statistic is questionable given that the minimum age for a license has increased of late.

The claims establish the legal bounds of a patent, however, they must be read in light of what is disclosed in the specifications. The enforceable scope of this patent is fairly limited.

The whole point of a signature, handwritten or digital, is to act as proof of identity and intent . If the government can compel Apple to sign FBiOS (against Apple's stated intent of signing their OS), where do you propose the govern

Unless those 14 years were under the supervision of a PE who was stamping your work, your work experience isn't meaningful for the purposes of licensure. Why would it be? I view the PE in software as being for managers on software-in

Consider however that Apple is being asked to digitally sign the modified FBiOS in order to load it onto the phone. The implications underlying the act of signing are the sort of speech that deserves the highest protection.
