I really don't care about 1000 cores, just give me one with 16 cores that can last at least a week on a charge.
I'd rather be phishing!

So why does the picture show those heavy duty cables that look like what you'd use to jump start a car and can handle several hundred amps?

Because there is theory, and there also is practice. In theory, they are equal, but in practice...
You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

I "love" articles like this; the hidden gem is that to make the chip where it "could" run off a AA battery they took it from "1.78 trillion instructions per second" to "115 billion instructions per second." In other words, they reinvented SingleStep.

Using a power efficient browser is one of the best ways to get more out of your PC or tablet – whether you’re checking email, shopping online, playing games, or watching movies. Because that's definitely what I look for in a browser

"There is no U.S.-made system that comes close to the performance of China's new system, the Sunway TaihuLight. Its theoretical peak performance is 124.5 petaflops, according to the latest biannual release today of the world's Top500 supercomputers. It is the first system to exceed 100 petaflops. A petaflop equals one thousand trillion (one quadrillion) sustained floating-point operations per second."
"TaihuLight, which is installed at China's National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, uses ShenWei CPUs developed by Jiangnan Computing Research Lab in Wuxi. The operating system is a Linux-based Chinese system called Sunway Raise." [^]
«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

GnuCOBOL, which was initially released as OpenCOBOL in 2002. In 2013, version 1.1 was renamed to GnuCOBOL, and version 2 is, according to the core development team, "on its way to pre-release." Meet the GNU boss...

Is it compatible with COBOL.NET?!

Blue Origin has successfully completed the fourth launch and landing of their New Shepard rocket and crew capsule. "And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 'til touchdown brings me 'round again"

I'm continually amazed by the camera tracking capability. Very impressive (and the rocket too!)

In the wake of last year’s downsizing in Oracle’s Java evangelism as well as their earlier announcement that they would be suspending future major releases of GlassFish server and limiting support, a group of Java standard bearers calling themselves the Java EE Guardians formulated a charter declaring their intent to come to the rescue of Java EE. "Avengers Assemble!"

Are you a good programmer? Are you above average as a software developer? I’m almost sure that your answer is yes. Most programmers feel like that. But, of course, if most programmers think they are above average, many of them are wrong… The first rule of Dunning-Kruger club is that you don't know you're in Dunning-Kruger club

There are very few really good programmers, and the worst of the bad programmers are very bad indeed -- so perhaps the average isn't where you think it is?

The "10x programmer" is a myth, but the hero programmer is real (i.e. someone who thinks they are a 10x programmer)

I don't think the 10x programmer is real, or he/she is an extremely rare beast. But the 3x or 4x programmer is more common, I've met a few. And no, I don't think I'm one. I think I'm good, maybe above average, but not 3x or 4x.
It's also possible that good programmers have a 10x "moment".

Downloads and installs clean copy of OS; scrubs all software not bundled with 10 Does it uninstall Windows 10?
{Ba dum pum - just pointing out again that I'm happy with Win 10. I've only had to reset it from scratch once. }

I didn't realize the windows OS allowed recursion.
I new it allowed re-cursing.

The official uninstallers that Adobe supplied for those wishing to remove the Flash plugin from their Windows installation have for some time been supplying hackers with a ‘privilege escalation’ attack vector. "If I go there will be trouble, and if I stay it will be double"

Quote: Kanthak first reported the vulnerability to Adobe in March, and the company’s first patch for the exploit was issued the following month. However the patched version contained the same vulnerability, but simply loaded different DLLs.
What...?
EPIC FAIL, ADOBE!
