Has there been a windows update in the last five years that hasn't caused major problems for lots of people?
As far as I can tell, the situation is either:
a: It's a marketing ploy, based on the core marketing principle "no news is bad news" If a number of users (usually less than 10%) have problems because of each update, then at least windows is being continually talked about (and the unaffected 90% feel lucky/superior/special/whatever). We already know how bad the ms marketing morons are, so this would not surprise me.b: It's an interdepartmental game, where one department each update has to "prove themselves" by causing problems for as close as possible to a randomly-selected number of users.
I know that ascribing malice to things where total, utter, and complete stupidity and incompetence are a strong possibility may be unwise, but I have a dreadful feeling that a: may be the case.

MIT researchers have invented a machine-learning tool that predicts how fast computer chips will execute code from various applications. This tool says, "not fast enough"
|
|

If a computer comprised a single chip, this would actually be extremely useful.
As it is, it will probably bring on a glut of apps that are optimised for "chips", but which perform like cr@p because they handle memory badly, are too short-sighted for most video cards, overload buses, view clouds as castles in the air, etc.
Markie's seeing-all ball predicts that this will cause more problems than it will solve.
They might as well have spent their time on deciding the optimal colour for laptop cases. At least that would only cause fashion problems, which probably won't, in most cases, stop your computer working.

Real innovation happens when we make mistakes along the way to chasing an optimal solution, and it could be anything from a better client experience in software systems to sales and marketing. Sorry, I'm more into quantity, rather than quaility

The Linux kernel has around 27.8 million lines of code in its Git repository, up from 26.1 million a year ago, while systemd now has nearly 1.3 million lines of code We're gonna need more eyeballs (to keep the bugs shallow)

That'll take about another 25 million lines of code.

Their title as a "D" in it. At least it does now, not sure if it was that way when you posted it.

A new lithium-sulphur battery with an ultra-high capacity could lead to drastically cheaper electric cars and grid energy storage. Until the next model of phone comes out

Yup. Headline should read "A new battery could let your phone use 5x more power".
AFAIK it won't do nearly much for laptops though because battery capacity growth there is already up against the 100 watt/hour limit beyond which you're not allowed to take it on an airplane.
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?
