A team of scientists from Arizona State University's School of Molecular Sciences and Germany have published in Science Advances online today an explanation of how a particular phase-change memory (PCM) material can work one thousand times faster than current flash computer memory, while being significantly more durable with respect to the number of daily read-writes. Can the market change to phase change?
Yeah. Sad blurb. I'll accept others below.

I hope this is arriving soon and cheap. I'll take a 1 TB PCM Drive for $100, please.

This will shatter the way I live my life.
Shatter = glass = 1 state of that memory.
I'm certain this would send some people for their coats, but I'll never give up on a bad streak!

For someone who has been a strong supporter of FOSS for a very long time, watching what has been happening to the various FOSS communities over the past half decade or so is kind of depressing. "What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?"

I wish people would think about the repercussions of their statements before they commit them to writing.
What must also be taken into account is that this will become a central pillar of the arguments given by idiots who want to mindlessly follow all the latest trends.
Given the choice between having to put up with discussions about adopting costly and useless flavour-of-the-month "innovative solutions", three times a month, and a bit of lag because of a bitcoin miner, I say "Get yer pickaxes out, Boys! Dig away!"

In late November, Microsoft alongside 100 local law enforcement officials in Gurgaon, India took down 16 call centers engaging in those annoying tech support scams. Now I'll never get any phone calls
I guess there's still the "Visa/Mastercard center" calls to look forward to.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

It is common knowledge that hardware is cheap, and programmers are expensive, and that most performance issues can be easily solved by throwing more and bigger hardware at it. But is it really cheaper in the long run? Is there still some room for optimization work? MYGNI: Maybe You Gonna Need It

Programmers new to the game are more prone to think more hardware is better because they assume that the compiler de jeurs is already optimizing for them. Those of us that grew up in the PC dev industry when 4k of RAM was king and 320k was considered "a lot of disk space" will always do things with optimization in mind, even though we use .Net.
The kings of optimization are assembly language devs, but nobody I've worked with over the last 20 years has ever done assembly language. It's a lost art.

Not quite; compiler writers, and those of us who have to mess with high-performance, time-critical, software still know and use assembly language (in judicious quantities).
If you mean that no one writes entire applications in assembly language anymore - you are right.

Believe me - I can write code that brakes ANY hardware... The difference between me and a newbie is that he does it natively, while I have to concentrate harder
