Interesting results. OTOH the relative rumtime metrics have me questioning if all their code was equally optimized, or if perhaps some of the tests were doing things that are very bad fits to the languages intended uses. I'm not picking on any of the new and fashionable languages either. The one that raised my red flag was FORTRAN taking 4x as long as the C code. FORTRAN still lives in big scientific computing projects because when optimized, like well written Assembler/C/C++ it can max out the CPUs available execution units more or less continuously.

I was more suprised at Rust's consistently high marks for such a new language - only on Memory was it less efficient than C++.
(I believe its default allocator is slab-based, so has high usage for small programs, but levels out for larger programs).
Really don't get how Java became the headline there.

Why not use this little AI-powered tool to turn a photo of your face into a 3D model, then idly spin it round, pondering exactly how and when super-intelligent robots will liquidate your body and replace you with a perfect 3D-printed simulacra. Worth it just to see the extra-creepy photo of Mark Zuckerberg

Quote: Resting on a foundation of existing research programs are newly formulated thrusts that all sum into the Electronics Research Initiative, a four-year push with anticipated annual investments in the $200 million range.
Quote: An endpoint of the IDEA program would be the capability for a “no human in the loop,” 24-hour design framework that would enable even nonexperts to design complex electronic technologies, including mixed-signal integrated circuits, system-in-package modules with multiple integrated circuits (ICs), and printed circuit boards.
Non-experts ?[^].
More coverage here: [^] Quote: The Domain-Specific System on a Chip (DDSoC) program of the Architectures thrust is driven by the need to rapidly develop multi-application systems through a single programmable framework. Such a framework would enable SoC designers to mix and match general purpose, special purpose (e.g., ASICs), and hardware accelerator coprocessors, as well as memory and I/O elements, into easily programmed SoCs for applications within specific technology domains. One such domain is software-defined radio, which encompasses mobile communications, satellite communications, personal area networks, all types of radar, and applications in the electronic warfare space.
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

While the title of the article might be mildly inflammatory, I thought it did a good job at looking at some of the aspects of TDD that drove me straight to BDD.

So before Agile/DevOps, we were responsible for pretty much nothing? Ah, that explains it!

The distinction between security.txt and robots.txt is that security.txt will be used to communicate a company's security practices only, and is likely to be read by humans, rather than automated scanners. I'm sure nothing bad will come of conveniently sharing your email and phone number on the Internet
