True, dat!
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.

DeepMind's AlphaGo AI has defeated Ke Jie in the first round of a best-of-three Go match in China. Did he collect $200?
I may be a little rusty on the rules.

NAND flash memory chips, the building blocks of solid-state drives (SSDs), include what could be called "programming vulnerabilities" that can be exploited to alter stored data or shorten the SSD's lifespan. As opposed to "classic" hard-drives. They're never vulnerable to attacks.

|

Quote: The exploit's data pattern causes the MLC's programming logic to cause 4.9 more errors than usual, which comes with the side-effect of triggering interference in neighboring NAND flash memory cells. Well, thank God it's not 5.1 more errors than usual. That would be disastrous.

in my experience, they attack themselves. no exploit needed.

I stipulate that early SSDs had reliability problems, which probably turned off a lot of early adopters.
My family has 7 computers between them, all with SSDs. After up to 4 years of use, none of them have failed on me (yet...). Over the last 30 years, I have had some HDDs fail on me.
Perhaps you should try a late-model SSD.
(Full disclosure: I work for Western Digital, which makes both types of drives.)
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

In DevOps workflows, automation saves time, conserves resources, reduces errors and ensures consistency. Brought to you by the committee to resurrect JCL
Please don't anyone tell me they're still using it. I demand a happier universe.

Meanwhile, outside of DevOps workflows, automation saves time, conserves resources, reduces errors, and ensures consistency.
I really wonder, sometimes, why some people even bother opening their mouths.

James Gosling, until today Chief Software Architect at Liquid Robotics, announced Monday on Facebook that he’s “starting a new Adventure” with the cloud computing juggernaut as a Distinguished Engineer. I guess they had an opening in Java support?

Someone has stitched together seven of the Windows SMB exploits leaked by the ShadowBrokers, creating a worm that has been spreading through networks since at least the first week of May. So someone did collect the full set?
OK, seven SMB bugs probably isn't the full set.

A court in Israel, for instance, has ordered a couple to pay $2,200 for using emojis that "convey great optimism" in a text they sent to landlord Yaniv Dahan.
Because even a tweet is too long for some people?

In the not-so-distant future, next time you want to back up your work to Microsoft’s cloud, you might be storing it on a few snippets of DNA. Well, that's either your backup, or someone forgot to clear out the fridge again

I can't help but wonder whose @rse the DNA sample was scraped from.
Or is it an AI, using Hitler's DNA?
