Maybe we need the qunatum computing to define exactly how screwed we are on that scale?

Actually, as Dave pulls "boards" out of HAL, the thing that impressed me was that it still kept working. The idea that multiple failures do not cause the entire system to crash became a tenet of how I would like to design software, and have achieved on occasion (usually my own code, you can't begin to even attain that goal walking in to an existing software base.)

That's a very good point! I never thought of it that way before.

Microsoft today reminded customers that some editions of Windows 10, version 1809 (also known as the October 2018 Update) will reach its end of service next week. Because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows

Simplifying the setup for people who want to use a Pi as a PC. Have keyboard, will compute

It's cool, but I just can't use a keyboard like that. I need a full keyboard, with a numeric keypad because my brain can't deal with that inverted T for cursor/paging/home/end, etc. Never has, never will. Maybe if I were a 3-toed sloth I would feel more comfortable with the finger cramping that results.

Do you also keep hitting the key above the Enter, expecting it to be one of the old large L-shaped keys?

Well, who can complain about going back to the case/keyboard simplicity of the 8 bit home computer world, but I hope they'll be doing a fully size keyboard version soon.

It would be easy to do your own. All you have to do is 3d-print a keyboard dock, and maybe solder in a shorter, more flexible cable on the keyboard itself. You can also use an 8gb pi and a better cooling solution at that point.

The current ad is for NCache.
Header: Got AppFabric Alternative?
Sounds like a fabric softener. No idea what they're talking about.
The second like though is a zinger:
"End-of-life coming!"
Is that geek talk for "The world is coming to an end?" I'm assuming the end of all life as we know it is after the Nov 5 2PM EST live webinar? Will I learn how to survive it? Will I learn how to go painlessly?
