Re: Fucking hell
Suggesting that people switch back to Ubuntu was met with looks of horror.
Let them rot in their self-selected hell!

Re: All this has done
The correct plural of 'box' is 'boxes'. We are not German, or does it make you look especially cool?
Seriously, how much newfag to computing are you?
boxen /bok'sn/ pl.n.
[very common; by analogy with VAXen] Fanciful plural of box often encountered in the phrase `Unix boxen', used to describe commodity Unix hardware. The connotation is that any two Unix boxen are interchangeable.

Wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. During the last sales presentation it was "work in progress". Probably still will be 5 years from now.

U.S., Britain consider letting spy agencies, police seek email, chat data from companies
U.S. and UK spy agencies and police may soon be allowed to directly ask media companies in each others' countries for email and online chat data for people being investigated, under a tentative bilateral deal, officials said on Friday.
...
"The proposed agreement, which remains under discussion, would be reciprocal and would require legislation to take effect," said a U.S. Justice Department official.
...
The official said British Prime Minister David Cameron and Home Secretary (internal security minister) Theresa May were in preliminary discussions with other governments on the matter.
...
Representative Adam Schiff, top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Congress should monitor any privacy and civil liberties issues, "including making sure these British orders do not cover U.S. persons or individuals within the U.S., do not permit bulk collection, and have due process protections."

Re: Sales weasels.
Necessity-driven ignorance of basic facts springs eternal.
If one is "very cheaper / faster / better" than the competition, there is probably a heap of debt, technical, personal or otherwise, accumulating in the corner, studiously ignored by (sometimes overly youthful) management waiting for the "escape velocity" to take over.
The fact that customers demand the moon and a complimentary iPad for a sum that might support a lone siberian survivalist living on beans for a month does not help.
(Also a nice foreshadowing what will happen to lots of companies once the cheap paper money dires up and the monetary bubble inevitably collapses)
While we weren't looking, the WAN changed

And the economics. The economics, man!
I wouldn't say I know nothing about networking, but I sure am not ready to design a WAN for my increasingly crazy-arse company. In case I dont't burn out soon or leave, I guess I will be asked to come up with something, probably between breakfast and lunch due to all the other "priority 1" projects that occupy my time.

Re: Have You Checked the Bloody Log?
Computers are logical, there's always a reason for anything they do, you just have to look hard enough to find it.
This is of course a red herring.
The complexity of what is going on may well move the "looking hard enough" into NP-hard, if not make it uncomputable altogether.
YOU MAY NEVER FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING WRONG. DEAL WITH IT!

Re: This is one side of the coin
There will have to be active countermeasure against rogue IoT devices. Dropping whole sections off the Net for open-ended intervals would just be the first step. One would have to dispatch legions of synsects to rip the little devils out of the walls and crevices into which they have been installed. It may come to the point that one would have to cauterize whole areas with neutron bombs, as these devices may well harvest energy and maybe replica-building materials from the environment and be straightforward pests controlled by Artificial Reflexigence - and damn the conapt-dwellers in the affected areas.
Better brew some strong coffee, this future is going places.

Scientific American 1985-03, "Computer Recreations" Column by Alexander Keewatin Dewdney: A Core War bestiary of viruses, worms and other threats to computer memories
There is a good problem implicit here and I would be both unimaginative and irresponsible for not posing it; In one page or less describe DOS DOCTOR, a program on disk that somehow stamps out such electronic epidemics. Many disks used by a personal computer contain copies of its DOS. When started up, the computer obtains its copy of the DOS from the disk. This DOS will still be in charge when other disks, also containing copies of the DOS, are run. If it is infected, the DOS currently in charge may alter the other copies of the DOS or even replace them with copies of itself. But how to counteract such virulence?
That sounds suspiciously like a halting problem.

This is the new way of working with production software: random shit changes with no compelling reason. You get to know new domains, new ways of throwing JavaScript into your face, it's a blast!

Re: Very Impressive
All those saying "it's not AI because MUH opinion!!" - you are eejits whose expectations are based on a died of Hollywood movies.
Back in 1956:
"Hey, let's do something more interesting than computing ledgers on computers. Like, symbol processing, learning, maybe even play chess and checkers, invent appropriate programming languages with new concepts, work on that neuron stuff, I dunno ... lots of things to do".
"We need a catchy name"
"How about 'Artificial Intelligence'. Sounds out there. 'AI' for short".
"'kay'
"Check it out, guys! I have a built a machine to solve checkers!!"
An utter eejit in a wifebeater comes in. "It's not like in the movies. This is not AI!. Do expert systems first."
"Check it out, guys! I can find out what ails the patient via a question-answer system"

Re: Forth
Forth has been doing it the exact way he says is terrible for 40 years.
That bullshit. You are mixing concepts. Forth is a language. The language runs on something. Free to you to run it on bare metal, but if it runs on Unix, your argument is invalid.
You can run Java on bare metal if you write a language VM for that.
