Like many things, DevOps works until it doesn't. The problem is that when DevOps fails, that failure is spectacular and is often company ending.
Every time I read a story of a DevOps success, it;s really clear that the biggest advantage was gained in simply getting rid of layers of bureaucracy.

A report released today on the software products with the most security flaws in the past three months reveals that almost a quarter of all entries on the monthly Top 20 list were various types of security products. Well, let's do without then

A team of scientists and researchers from various institutions made a controversial claim that shakes all conventional knowledge of space and time. They say that there are parallel universes with multiple timelines. If this claim is indeed real, then time travel is a possibility. My great-great grandson just showed up and said, "No it isn't"

|
|
A) No.
B) That's not time travel.
C) Don't give me "possible"; give me "achievable".

Depends on how you define time travel. If as a strict movement against the flow of time in your specific space then yes, that is not time travel. If as a relative movement against time then maybe it is. If you perceptually move from current-day to a parallel world which in every way and molecule resembles 1986 you have effectively gone back 30 years for all purposes perceivable to you.

what do you expect from a site that spends ~4x as much space on clickbait and filler UI as on content.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

This isn't a theory, it's a hypothesis. That the professors don't know the difference is both astonishing and, I think, very revealing.

The power generated from the batteries is still low, but imagine all those low power devices that might run forever.

It's not forever!
Merely a few thousands years!

I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

TensorFlow was originally developed by Google engineers and researchers to develop machine learning and deep neural networks research. Good? I guess? If your machine needs some learning?

Given the significant innovation in design tools and software development infrastructure, this type of coding is going to look dramatically different in the future. I thought VB settled that discussion years ago?

I only use my mouse for software development. Just drag and drop and a few clicks and a new OS.

Mouse? I just think "I want a new OS." and my computer does it for me!

That's _virtual reality_ programming.
Give a shrug and write a new program.

This is so not like the late 90's, where designers moved into the web development space and WYSIWYG tools boomed. Not even a little!

If we have the algorithm, we also have the key to true artificial intelligence. Buy high, sell low? Oh wait, that's my investment strategy.

Developers dread the delays for a C++ project to build, but Zapcc, a variation on the Clang/LLVM compiler, cuts those wait times by half or more Faster build times? But then how are you going to know when to go for a break?

In college, an Ingres database system was being used that dragged the system to its knees. We learned to create command files to compile, link and run our applications. We'd start it and walk away.. eat, play cards, come back later, check on it, repeat.
Thanks for the memories...

Perhaps they can speed up its implementation of C++17.
(Setting up your builds correctly is usually a better solution. Oh, and comprehensive unit tests will likely take longer than the build.)
