The rocket, called New Glenn, will be used to launch satellites and people into space, according to Bezos. You call that a rocket? Nah, *this* is a rocket.

The emerging languages in the third tier are just starting to gain a following. Some languages that have been here for many years, never taking that next step toward popularity, while others burst onto the scene in just one or two years. About to make the leap from, "To be ignored" to, "Does anyone remember?"

More ways for mediocre developers to claim expertise in something. (While everyone else yawns and gets back to solving problems.)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

A little more than a year ago, Microsoft announced the launch of a new a pilot program to hire people with autism and bring more diversity to the company. Bring your medical report to the interview?

|
|
Conduct the interview in MindSpace (or similar controlled rule based immersive reality)

Interesting... a number of years ago, my daughter was diagnosed as being autistic. While I don't know if she'll go into a coding environment, she certainly has both extraordinary talents and similarly extraordinary social challenges.
I applaud Microsoft for making an effort; it is certainly more than some others do.

The unpatched vulnerability can be exploited to gain root access to servers I'm sure Oracle will get right on fixing that
Yeah, affects MariaDB too. We'll see which gets fixed first.

|
|

MariaDB has had the patch for about two weeks.
Conversion at Oracle:
"MySQL has a vulnerability"
"So?"
"We own it."
"Really?"

The only thing that struck me about that, is that it's unusual for a banks back-up data-centre to be within a couple of miles vicinity of the primary data-centre.

130 dB is a lot but it shouldn't be so much as to cause that kind of vibrations, it's an average gunshot.

Well, if you fire the gun at the disks...

I was waiting for a response like that still a single bullet? Even a .50 BMG HE would have problems damaging materiel on such a scale!

Perhaps it was one of those special Hollywood bullets that they used to use in Westerns - one bullet killing a dozen Indians...

They still use them, the insta-kill bullets exist only in hollywood and (rarely) in videogames. As the 1986 FBI Miami shootout can attest, and the astonishing number of people that survives multiple shots. Even headshots aren't so lethal, at least in the immediate time.
Incapacitating an individual with a gunshot is very very hard... at least with non expansive bullets.

The article said it was louder than 130 dB, but that's all their instruments could measure.

I read this[^] because the other site is off-limits to me and it said:Quote: A source also told the publication that the noise produced by the testing was louder than expected -- being about as high as the bank's equipment was able to monitor at over 130dB. which I interpretate as "the noise was near the maximum the equipment can monitor", so slightly less than 130 dB.

Sounds like a great reason to replace all their spinning rust with SSDs that are immune to vibrations.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

An imaging system that can read closed books is currently being developed. In a new article, researchers describe a prototype of the system, which they tested on a stack of papers, each with one letter printed on it. The system was able to correctly identify the letters on the top nine sheets. Cliff's Notes have been helping high school students do that for decades
