MISRA is for ultra embedded where you know all resource requirements up front. In the cloud it would be very odd to restart with new pre-allocated stuff when you get more users. In embedded systems you pre-allocate things like ethernet packages, but you still need the logic of freeing them back to the pool. This can go wrong as easily as malloc/free. Rust, on the other hand, makes you handle references safely and calculates the problem of freeing resources for you. That is much more important than just not allocating memory on the fly.

It is hard to have fair democracy with winners take it all. Same issue in Britain where UKIP was not represented in their national parliament but ironically in the European Parliament where proportion representation per nation is used. With the House you could switch to proportional representation. Or an alternative solution: Time sharing the seats in time slots proportional to votes received. You can't do any of that with the president, but you should do as many European countries, where the parliament appoints a first minister who runs the government and leave the president as ceremonial equivalent to a modern monach.

So to follow up on what my kids are doing, I should remove their Internet connection? Their school demand they are online! I can't go around white listing sites they need for school work. Be realistic: Parents simply can't monitor or sanction their kids online.

You must be conservative, labeling people either or.

As windturbine blades are NOT as critical as airplane wings, I see less problems on assembling on site. They are anyway bolted to the spinner on site. When I worked in the industry, it was very important that the nacelle could be transported on a truck, but I am pretty sure that requirements is gone now.

There is no risk in launching U235 by itself. An accident would just scatter it. There is some uranium in nature, and it is not that dangerous, neither chemical, nor radioactive. U238 is used in passer penetrating bullets.

The problem with Perl is said to be write-only. Python is far easier to understand. Every language can support bad code, but not all languages encourage readable code equally well. That property has to be taken into account in larger projects. That said: I have had to deal with totally unreadable Python because people wanted to code up some advanced constructs. I have myself excelled in that in C++. Not a good idea.

Yack: I hate it when you restrict people from choosing the best technology for the task. On the other hand, Python is the most readable scripting language, so shared script Python is really a good idea for many tasks. But by not allowing experimentation, you never find out if you made the wrong choice. Personally I prefer a mixture of shell and Python as glue between other stuff - and lately I simply code my stuff in Python.

It is not a volume, it is the relationship between escape velocity, distance and mass of the central object. In classical Newtonian physics it is v = sqrt(2GM/R) from setting the needed kinetic energy equal to the needed potential energy. Now setting v to the speed of light, you get R=2GM/c^2, which is the radius of a black hole.

It used to be like that in Denmark 50+ years ago. You wnd up gridlocked. Now you have to wait before entering, which doesn't work well for busy roundabouts, so the busiest ones are replaced with signaled intersections again.

Same here in Denmark. And the large two lane roundabouts don't work either as many drivers stay on right, outermost lane blocking others from entering in the busy ones. In Britain, the leftmost lane exits the roundabout so you can't just lazily stay in your lane all the way around.

Well, if they try to go the same way around at the British, no wonder it won't work in the US.

Happens here in Denmark as well: Free licenses in high school and university. And IT departments settling everything up for Office365 for the students. No wonder they will expect nothing else when they get a job. Until 9. grade they used Google stuff in our town, but that isn't better, but at least you could use it on any platform.

Happened to my kid at high school: school use OneNote. It was very hard to figure out how to get 3 years of notes out as files. Now her sister wants the notes, and I have a hard time figuring out how to import the notes to her account. It doesn't help that they both use Mac.

Bureaucracy arise naturally in any organisation. The only thing that can stop is competition. (Among states: War) Private monopolies are at least as bad as government. That is why breaking up a monopoly will actually help the stock owners because the competing companies getting out of it will be much more lean.
