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?

It’s rather hard when your biggest success is also your biggest millstone, but for Microsoft the x86 Win32 platform has been both their biggest blessing and biggest curse, leading to their ubiquitous presence in every office and most households around the world, and also leaving them with an insecure platform which is difficult to monetize and manage. If at first you don't succeed, fail, fail again.

Sketching out rough ideas—traditionally on the back of a napkin in the US, backs of envelopes being preferred in the UK—is a common and important part of the design process, with the familiar pen or pencil and paper being favored for rough mockups and outlines. And then they click on the happy face; that takes them to the squiggly box...

Researchers at Curtin University in Australia published a study in Geology which found that more than a billion years ago, a chunk of present-day Canada broke away from the fledgling North American continent and smashed into Australia. That chunk of land is present-day Georgetown, Australia. Chris, no souvenirs!

Does that mean that Georgetown's address is Physical Canada and Logical Australia?

Does that mean Canadian's can visit or move there? Is it sovereign land?

Developers tend to get thrown under the bus when it comes to application security, but recent data shows that developers do, in fact, care about security. Write your new password on a Post-It before changing it?

Old data suggests the same. What is and is not implemented is usually not the choice of the developer.

A Google engineer who just left the company after nearly 13 years criticized it Wednesday for becoming "100% competitor-focused" and said the company "can no longer innovate." So, "Google is the new IBM/DEC/Microsoft?"

The title (of the link below) is a bit misleading.
The document is very well written and :
1. explains the challenges of concurrency
2. a method of solving those challenges.

That article actually does a great job of pointing out that most software engineers falsely believe that the computer is following the Von Neumann architecture[^]. But actually... most modern CPU are implementing a Modified Harvard architecture[^].
But we really need something new... and in light of the recent Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities... the existing architectures are under intense review. Hopefully the JUMP research grants[^] will pay off and result in a new distributed CPU architecture.
Best Wishes,

Great comments. I agree.

I thought that was interesting that the article also touched upon the way parallel cores work and as I read it I thought of the spectre and meltdown bugs too. That's what made the article additionally interesting at this current time.
EDIT
Also, thanks for mentioning that von neumann architecture vs. modified harvard architecture difference. That was good reading too.

In many projects, there is a certain amount of code generation. The generated code is not seldom treated as a second-class citizen, the only measurement of code quality being whether it compiles and passes the tests. We can – and should – do better. This blurb was generated by a tool

"This blurb was generated by a tool"
That's being unkind to yourself. I know you occasionally double-post news, but wouldn't go so far as to call you a tool. 
(That may be an English idiom, but when someone here is described as a tool, it means they're a bit of an idiot)

I thank you for recognizing where I was going with that one (and even more for accepting me as a non-tool)

Every time in my career I have had to deal with Lex/Yacc or similar tools, I shudder and pray I don't need to debug the generated code, and inevitably do.
