Submission + - Ada 2012 Language Approved as Standard by ISO (paritynews.com)
hypnosec writes: The Ada Resource Association (ARA) announced that the Ada 2012 programming language has been approved and published as a standard by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Announcing the development, ARA and Ada-Europe said that the new version brings with it the concept of contract-based programming, Concurrency and Multicore Support, Increased Expressiveness and Container Enhancements. Under the contract-based programming, developers will have the “ability to specify preconditions and postconditions for subprograms, and invariants for private (encapsulated) types.”
Submission + - Real world code sucks (theregister.co.uk)
An anonymous reader writes: There is a kind of cognitive dissonance in most people who’ve moved from the academic study of computer science to a job as a real-world software developer. The conflict lies in the fact that, whereas nearly every sample program in every textbook is a perfect and well-thought-out specimen, virtually no software out in the wild is, and this is rarely acknowledged.
To be precise: a tremendous amount of source code written for real applications is not merely less perfect than the simple examples seen in school — it’s outright terrible by any number of measures.

as a first attempt, absolutely mind blowing.
Using a 3-d printer and a formula to convert mp3's into the bumps and grooves to play music..
I'm in love.....
the resolution does not allow for full length recordings, and the audio quality isn't there- but astonishing for a first effort

Domestic terrorism will be up one day, so by having systems in place they have a better idea of where to allocate drone surveillance resources, human intel on the ground, allocate training and information for law enforcement, etc.
I'm pretty sure the the founding fathers in 1777 could be considered domestic terrorists .
