Is that link broken or is it just me?

The link works fine for me, so it's just you.

Computer science boffin Norbert Blum has acknowledged that his P≠NP proof is incorrect, as a number of experts anticipated. Missed a 'carry the naught'?

We been trolled! I never would'a looked at this p ≠ np had I known it wouldn'ta been proofed.

Researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are presenting a new system for data center caching that instead uses flash memory, the kind of memory used in most smartphones. "Flash, ah, he'll save every one of us"

The wear leveling algorithms should be a blast to write.

Granted, "never" may be a stretch, but there are ways to make users happy without going nuts. "Alone again, naturally"

Here’s a rule I’m postulating* for software engineering projects: you need at least 3 examples before you solve the right problem. Shouldn't there be three rules then?

Several years back, one of the CP members had a signature about not generalizing until you have three examples.

Kaspersky Labs found itself in a situation familiar to many tech companies: it was sued by a do-nothing patent holder in East Texas who demanded a cash settlement before it would go away. Now we just need that to happen a few more times
|

Agreed, it will probably take more than a "few more times", but I'd hope that if it happened enough, that the patent trolls would move on to some other way of shaking people down.

Some of them already started. Copyright of pictures.
A guy from my last job had problems with a lawyer due to a picture he had used to sell a product in EBay. Although it was a self made picture, it was too similar to another one in a certain catalogue. The sue was for 1500 €, the biggest problem is, we asked another lawyer we know and he told... "you have no way out. It is a big grey zone and right now there is no chance".
That was about 3 years ago, I don't know if things have changed so far, but it was so ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing annoying and frustrating...

The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) will begin operating in September, and it will shoot 27,000 laser pulses per second, 200 times more per second than the next highest-performing gun in California. The head scientist was heard to say, "Mwaahahahahaha!" in anticipation of the launch

That's fairly interesting, I wonder how much energy these x-ray lasers will carry and how much penetrating they are. It could open up a new era in x-ray detection based safety and quality controls by eliminating the projection effect of the standard conical x-ray sources. It has a viable frequency to inspect moving objects on a conveyor.

It is true you do not need to know Javascript to be a programmer, and many people have had very successful careers without ever writing a line of Javascript code in their life Why should the rest of us suffer with it?
|

|
|
|
Where as most languages require a bit of knowledge and programming understanding, Javascript does not.
Nothing further needs to be said.
|
|

The statement is pretty hyperbolic though. The this construct alone causes much pain to new JS devs as does var, then IIFEs are basically required unless you want to pollute the global namespace. Not to mention prototype-based inheritance. It's true that "conventional" difficulties and learning requirements are sparse in JS but it makes up for that with its own unique quirks.

I’ll offer my take on the correct way to comment code. But remember that I am a consultant, so I always have a knee-jerk response to say that it depends. "Maybe – perhaps – yes!"

LRO captured an image of the Moon's shadow over a large region of the United States, centered just north of Nashville, Tennessee. Kind of a damp squib from that angle
