youtube for IPad is terrible:

1. it has no back button. sometimes I watched video a, then from the recommend list there is video b and video c I select video b, then the recommend list update if I want to see video c, I have to search again

2. there is no sound volume button, each time I have to use the button in ipad


Dictador will live forever


Future? well, 10 year later, quantum computer maybe come to reality which is much much faster than current computers. At that time who will care about Rust or C++? The easiest language will win.


You shouldn't expect quantum computers to bring a "free-lunch" speedup the way that clock-speed increases did for such a long time.


Rust is Pyramid scheme


how about their workers? a lot of people will loss jobs because of robot


QML is elegant for GUI design.


Rust will push C++ becoming much better!


maybe the best solutions for computer security or network security is to make everything public

nothing to hide, nothing to lose


why these critical facilities connected(or can be connected) to internet? it is crazy


Article briefly addresses that. They talk about how air gapping is easy to breach with a compromised flash drive.

But speaking from experience in the controls industry its the people who write the cheques. I don't work in systems like a nuclear power plant but the critical systems I help design are absolutely air gapped and secured from all basic user access. The business managers who want to remotely administer their system or check the data logs are the ones that introduce components susceptible to attack and hopefully integrators learn to stand their ground.

Another issue I see frequently, and not to discredit the brilliant engineers I work with, but there's too many non-software people in the software field. Too many electrical oriented people I work with figure software is just a slap on system that interfaces the user to the motor but fail to realize all the pitfalls it creates if not done in as rigorous of a manner as the electrical design.


Sounds like these business managers need to buy one way transfer devices.


Most reactor operation is still human beings (following thick, certified manuals) flipping switches. You don't want buggy software anywhere near a reactor, especially when you're making just a couple of control rod movements a week.
