Any day now, quantum computers will solve a problem too hard for a classical computer to take on. Or at least, that’s what we’ve been hoping. They can either tell you when, or by how much, but not both at the same time

We can only hope that the problem they solve is "How long c'n people obsessed with goddamned turkeys keep espousing nuthin' but turkeys and denigrating perfickly good chickens?"

Kubernetes dominates container orchestration. But how do you start using it in your own IT shop? That's a harder question than you might think. Just in case you can't contain yourself any longer

Have you ever stared at objects in a debugger window and wished that you could view those objects by something other than their type? Assuming you debug, of course

If you haven't recently updated your Linux operating system, especially the command-line text editor utility, do not even try to view the content of a file using Vim or Neovim. :q!

I'm not going to laugh.
Really, I'm not.

Apparently, text editors are the most dangerous software.

So much for "the most secure OS because opensource"... What I would like to know is for how long those feature were live with this vulnerability. That's the thing this article doesn't mention - for how long Linux servers were(are) vulnerable?

Images of tens of thousands of people crossing the US border with Mexico have been stolen in a major hack, the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) has said. It's a good thing no one crosses that border

Stolen,my @rse!

It’s the holiday season for data nerds: That is, Mary Meeker is delivering her annual Internet Trends Report — the most highly anticipated slide deck in Silicon Valley — again at Code Conference 2019. I hear this internet thing might work out
Just in case you have time for 333 slides

Object recognition algorithms sold by tech companies, including Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, perform worse when asked to identify items from lower-income countries. GIGO
As for that sample photo, nothing should identify as SPAM.

Even SPAM.
(Several years ago, I bought SPAM for the first time in my life--yes, had it as a kid, but had never actually bought it. To put it mildly, it wasn't what I remembered. More harshly, it was awful. On the other hand, if you have a salt deficiency....)

It's rather nice if you grill it (but on health grounds I'm not recommending it to anybody!)

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?

All this demonstrates is that the "very intelligent person" who built the AI didn't do enough work on delineation and image trimming.
This is going to get worse and worse, and culminate in completely useless -- even damaging and dangerous -- AIs going commercial.
And it's not the AIs themselves that are the problem; it's that the infrastructure that surrounds an AI is nowhere near mature enough -- because no-one wants to work on that, when "Creating the Next Great AI!" is the holy grail that gets all the attention.

Exactly - someone's going to sell some half-ar*ed solution to a government as a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Then people will suffer as a result, likely the ones that don't look like the developer.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

We’re moving towards a world in which developers are no longer as loyal to their chosen programming languages as they were. Instead, they are more flexible and open minded about the languages they use. Don't be a {foo} programmer, be a programmer
Something, something, right tool, something job

The "right language" canard is mostly bullshit hand waving by incompetent developers.
