Quote: GCC has front ends and libraries for languages, including C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, Ada, and Go.
I don't understand, why the introduction comes at the end of the post. 
Besides, ++C++ would have been better.

The nostalgia for periodic big upgrades every five to 10 years is seriously misplaced, and it's not good for users or IT. Speak for yourself

OpenAI is releasing tools you can run locally to test out algorithms in various “environments” — including Atari games like Air Raid, Breakout, and Ms. Pacman — and a Web service for sharing test results. The system automatically scores evaluations and also seeks to have results reviewed and reproduced by other people. It's not enough they beat us at chess and go, now they want to take away Ms. Pacman?

Open source’s march toward preeminence in business software continued over the past year, according to a survey released today by open source management provider Black Duck Software and venture capital firm North Bridge. Shocking data from an open source company. You won't believe the results!

Microsoft is buying 10 million strands of long oligonucleotides — laboratory-made molecules of DNA — from San Francisco startup Twist Bioscience, the companies announced today. Look out! They've cloned Clippy!

I'd hate to be the shipping/receiving people, "one, two, three...., nine million nine hundred nintey nine thousand nine hundred ninety five, hey! they shorted us 5 molecules!"

«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Quote: Unlike hard drives, Blu-Ray discs, or pretty much any current storage technology, DNA stays intact and readable for as long as 1,000 to 10,000 years.
What a bullshit! Scientist struggle hard when they try to sequence ancient DNA: it is fragmented into many small pieces. Instead of 23 chunks of DNA with an average length of some 100 million bp for the human genome, you'll have to cope with tens of millions of fragments of 50 bp...
That's long-term storage technology, yeah.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the Federal Trade Commission has quietly stepped up its investigation into Android, over fears that Google is exploiting its position in the smartphone market. Remember when every government was after Microsoft? Yeah, good times.

Personally, I feel there should be some new regulations relating to protecting customer data, and ensuring that data is accessible to the customer, such that it can be transferred between vendors.
It is vendor lock-in that I hate passionately. Apple are probably the worst at this, but have a small market share so escape considerations as they are not a monopoly.

Researchers have fired a wireless signal through slabs of pork and beef at speeds fast enough to transmit high-definition video. "This work was supported in part by the department of the Navy, Office of Naval Research, under grants ONR MURI N00014-07-1-0738 and ONR N00014-07-1-0311."
Not sure if they also used a proxy to watch the US-only content.
Also not sure if watching House of Cards through pork is kosher.

I may have to change my concept of pork barrel spending.
