Quote: In a massive leap forward for autonomous robots, Cassie the running robot has completed an entire 5-kilometer (3.1-mile) run in 53 minutes,
Does this pace (5.6kph/3.5mph) really count as a run, not a walk?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Many workers?
As management orders, sh1tty budgets, outdated resources and many other aspects had nothing to do with that...

Does the rise of Machine Learning mean legions of digital experts across the globe will be out of work, their jobs made redundant from AI, their skills rendered obsolete? I don't think we can make an AI that can figure out CSS

At a time of widespread digital insecurity it turns out that the oldest and simplest computer fix there is — turning a device off then back on again — can thwart hackers from stealing information from smartphones. When in doubt: reboot. It's not just for Windows anymore

WhiteSource today announced that it has developed the first-ever tool that automatically remediates vulnerabilities discovered in custom code. Fixes as in 'plumbing', or fixes as in 'puppy'?

A new survey commissioned by CircleCI shows that a significant portion of business leaders are using outdated metrics to measure the performance of their software development teams. You mean KLoC/dev/day isn't the way?
40%.

only for that?
They are outdated in every single aspect that has to do with software and / or developers.

I’ve tested it through the past week and wanted to test it to see how powerful it is, so I went through 3 coding questions on the web that are a set of prepared interview coding questions with it to see how it would perform. I wonder if we can hook it up to Q&A

What for?
We have OG

If asked to code during an interview, OG would just tell them that he's not there to do their homework.

As I've told interviewers in the past - don't ask me questions I can google the answer for.
And don't ask me questions that have absolutely no relevance to real world problem solving.

In a group interview, I was once asked to go the whiteboard and using C, reverse a string. I went to the whiteboard and wrote strrev . The interviewer said that's not what he meant. A senior dev said it was the right answer.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has changed their qualifications for commercial astronaut wings, and Blue Origin's first flight crew might no longer be eligible. Space cadets need not apply

:yawn:
So the FAA has changed the requirements for receiving an award that makes no practical difference. They seem to forget that space is (in theory) accessible from any place on Earth; if the US requirements for licensing are too onerous, commercial spaceflight will simply move elsewhere. There is no shortage of out-of-the-way locations to build a spaceport.
I would also note that one of the reasons for requiring licensing of airplane pilots was the inordinate number of crashes by barnstorming pilots in the early days of air flight. This was because almost anyone could either build or buy a propeller-based plane. The entry requirements for space flight are much higher; I doubt anyone (not even a billionaire) is going to risk multi-million dollar hardware on a "barnstorming" astronaut.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
