GnuCOBOL soon plans to release 4.0[1] version, with many improvements and some of the industry using it instead of the commercial solutions. [1] https://sourceforge.net/p/gnucobol/discussion/cobol/thread&

Good point. Poor wording on my part. Of course it will be painful. Here "only" has another meaning - it reflects that it will be a big blow to the global SWIFT dominance.

It will only boost SWIFT alternatives like CIPS[1] and Russia's own SPFS [2]. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-Border_Inter-Bank_Paym... [2] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPFS

Well, you can't build a Java program that isn't resource hog. It should be ported to something natively compiled instead.

Matter of the capacity though. You could cover half of the Sahara with panels. You can't cover half of the Europe with panels.

Shape rotation is great but what about shape shifting? How to test those skills?

String theory is falsifiable, just it requires so much energy that we cannot operate with in any foreseeable future.

Precisely! We cannot understand what consciousness is until we gain complete understanding of the human brain. Until that, we will have no AGI. Given the sheer complexity of the task, unlikely it will happen in this century.

What about accounting and bookkeeping? At least apart from bills management. There's open source Akaunting [1][2] but it has poor support of banking feeds outside of US and UK. [1] https://github.com/akaunting/aka

It would be interesting to know more about the COBOL migration and the parser. I am sure, many other companies with the legacy codebase would be interested in this.

I wish it would have been native tool, not Java. It would be much lighter and easier to use then.

F# is too restrictive and poor in terms of types and syntax. OCaml would make a better option as the Haskell "successor". Though, personally I don't think it will ever happen.

There's interesting cross-platform "shell" that compiles to either Bash or cmd (bat) - Batsh[1]. [1] https://github.com/batsh-dev-team/Batsh

Well, with this description you can cheer - their demise as a company is written on the wall. Especially in the current situation of the worker's market.

There is a nice discussion[1] about the same in SymbiFlow[2]. I hope, they at least read through it. [1] https://github.com/SymbiFlow/ideas/issues/19 [2] https://symbiflow.github.io/

It's even more essential in IoT and mobile devices, where reboot is often necessary, sometimes just to restore broken connection, like modem. Nobody works now on stable software, everyone tries to ship it as fast as possible. It's

In fact, something like modern Philips Xenium would be nice to have. Their last feature phone was able to keep the charge for two weeks or even more. A perfect addition to any smartphone. Sadly, they stopped to make new models.

To be honest, ASML is "just" an integrator. Parts of these machines are produced all over the world and where real innovation is necessary.

Because they aren't able to increase the production, and because they aren't able to sell to China. Which means no clients except TSMC, Samsung, and maybe Intel.

It's not even enough to build one fab, not to say about an umbrella project. It might help to screen future Carl Zeiss or Applied Materials though.

Some of them are gated, some are just high-value. Remembering visiting some smaller cities in Russia I don't really recall gated communities at all.

Not many in Moscow apart from a few elite suburbs.

Some frameworks don't have support for Wayland. So it might be not up to the program authors. World is not limited to GTK and Qt. One such example is Java.

There is a pull request [1] to Xwayland to solve fractional scaling problem. [1] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests...

The question also if they plan to allow smart contracts on this new USD CBDC or not. e-CNY, for example, incorporates[1] them. [1] https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/111648/china-digital-yua...

Well, NN aren't even remotely similar to real biological brain. Too simplistic theory for complex things like even a single neuron cell is.
