That surprised me, too. TypeScript is a very poorly-congealed ("designed" seems a bit strong) language.
Of the two popular scripting languages - python and ruby - python probably makes more sense as you can compile into actual binaries if you want.
For speed and parallel processing, which I'd assume they'd want, they'd be better off with Tcl or Erlang, both of which are much much better suited to this sort of work.
Then they should have used Tcl.
There must be a reason both Orwellian nightmares and V for Vendetta were essentially set in the UK written by UK authors.. they knew something too many people seem to have averted their eyes from for too long, and now here we are - the dystopian nightmares becoming reality, one salami slice and boiled frog at a time.
It's because in both of those worlds, the US was effectively destroyed. In Nineteen Eighty-Four it was part of the same nation as the UK (Oceana) and in V for Vendetta, it was destroyed by infighting. The UK is presumed stable enough to survive cataclysmic events. The US is presently demonstrating it really isn't and is far more Orwellian than the UK's worst nightmare. I can still criticise the UK leader, Kier Starmer (yes I can, Joe Rogan was talking complete bollocks as per usual), hows that working with you being able to critisise Trump or Charlie Kirk (even daring to repeat what Kirk actually said).
In fact the only UK politico who is likely to come after you for criticising him is the Far-right fascist frog-faced fucktard Nigel Farage... Odd that but as he's never going to get anywhere near power I can still tell Frog Face to Fuck Right Off.
Probably humanoid robots, it's already happening in China:
These driver crashes on Windows typically lead to having to reinstall/"repair" Windows.
Nah, literally something that hasn't happened to 99.99% of users in the past 20 years.
I've been doing this for 30 years as well, and you're full of crap.
Well there's your problem. Stop using Windows ME. It's very clear that if your windows is breaking to the point of needing a reinstall / repair and it's a "frequent occurrence" then my unfortunate sir, *you* are the problem. Not even TFA is talking about that.
Windows has been pretty damned stable since Windows 7 was released, that's 2009 for anyone not paying attention. Microsoft changed it so that one bad driver can't crash the entire OS.
Seems Apple is going all out with the paid propaganda of late... Because there's no way they're cheaper. If anything keeping hardware for longer makes it more expensive as you have to deal with more hardware failures, extended warranties, outages, et al. I suspect Apple is using very, very funny maths.
NSA pressured NIST to include compromised parts into elliptical curve encryption.
It allowed for a private key (presumably held by the NSA) to greatly reduce the difficulty of breaking things using that part of the suite.
Though Apple started getting relevancy again with the iMac and iPod of the late 90s. It was stuck with OS9 which made Windows 98SE and especially Windows 2000 look great (Windows ME not so much).
OSX came out 25 years and 4 days ago (I just checked), I think your timeline is optimistic by a couple of years when the whole software ecosystem (except quark xpress) got moved over.
Early on the best example of OSX native software was MS Office and not much else.
Yes.
Using the kernel developed by Next was a huge deal. It doesn't change the fact that 25 users ago Apple was an absolute mess (thus the need to purchase Nexr for the OS (and CEO).
Os9 was an absolute outdated disaster.
25 years ago Apple was still OS9
It was constant crashes that required reboots.
OSX came out almost exactly 25 years ago and within 18 months (as software moved to it) changed the whole story.
Assuming it's remotely true (and there's good reason for thinking it isn't), it still means the FBI director was negligent in their choice of personal email provider, that the email provider had incompetent security, and that the government's failure to either have an Internet Czar (the post exists) or to enforce high standards on Internet services are a threat to the security of the nation (since we already know malware can cross airgaps through negligence, the DoD has been hit that way a few times). The FBI director could have copied unknown quantities of malware onto government machines through lax standards, any of which could have delivered classified information over the Internet (we know this because it has also happened to the DoD).
In short, the existence of the hack is a minor concern relative to every single implication that hack has.
It's super sad.
I purchased my Vizio TV because it's only smart feature was that it had a built in Chromecast.
No apps, no ads, it just showed up on my phone apps to let me put them on the TV.
Then after 18 months a huge update and it became annoying just like every other TV.
Addiction is neurological, not chemical. Addiction is the consequence of the rewards centre of the brain becoming dependent on stimulation and that can be from anything.
Do try to make an effort.
Doesn't have to be a credit card. A class III user digital certificate requires a verification firm be certain of a person's identity through multiple proofs. If an age verification service issued such a certificate, but anonymised the name the certificate was issued to to the user's selected screen name, you now have a digital ID that proves your age and optionally can be used for encryption purposes to ensure your account is only reachable from devices you authorise.
Cars already do this. I'm not sure why they're acting like it's new.
My 2006 Honda lets me know when it's time for service starting a few thousand miles early.
Exploding in the launcher is bad.
But if it's a matter of 1% vs 0.1% failing mod trip. Or even 10% vs 0.1% failing mod trip this is a game changer.
I'm picturing something as hard to intercept as the better Russian misiles that delivers a payload similar to shaheed for the price closer to a shaheed.
Such a weapon would be a game changer even if it isn't some type of unstoppable munition.
I never cheated an honest man, only rascals. They wanted something for nothing. I gave them nothing for something. -- Joseph "Yellow Kid" Weil
