It would be funny to if the person finds out there are command line arguments that force the update.

If it ran in the background it could be CuPyd

They should have kept Terry. He would have been vigilant about the three letter agencies as well.

"Hyper-V is undeniably a critical component of the Microsoft virtualization stack runs on it, but it's also used in Virtualization-Based Security, Windows Containers, Windows Subsystem for Linux, Windows Subsystem for Android, and even the Xbox."

weird sentence

I just realized what you saw, I originally meant to say "Hyper-V is undeniably a critical component of the Microsoft virtualization stack as Azure runs on it", I've got it fixed and also removed the Windows Subsystem for Android mention since Microsoft killed it

Weird, right? That's exactly the argument repeated ad nauseam by Microsoft as "proof" that Hyper-V isn't dead, somehow excluding the lack of a good desktop GUI for Hyper-V VMs from why users would feel differently

Oh and the funny thing is that since writing this blog post Microsoft killed Windows Subsystem for Android despite its immense value as a developer tool

This is a fun book. I remember checking it out from the NC State University Library.

I remember seeing this book on my boss' desk in the late 90s. I commented something like "There's a whole book on linkers and loaders?!". Turns out he was reading it because he was working on a side project that would eventually become his paid gig (he left about a year later).

Yeah this book takes me back too. It is very approachable and yeah even fun.

We can do math integration and solve radiation transport problems with Monte Carlo.

It was actually invented for this.

Open source radiation transport Monte Carlo code here if you'd like to play around:

https://github.com/openmc-dev/openmc

and ENIAC's first programs were Monte Carlo simulations.

yep its beautiful how this can be done, its basically just taking the mean of values of function derived from random values from a uniform distribution of points in a specific range. Once done many times, we can approximate the integration value. Because E[X] = integration (f(u)p(u)du), p(u) will be 1 as the number is derived from a uniform distribution in the range of u.

Any integral you can sample can be solved with monte carlo methods. This doesn't really have anything to do with the link.

Actually it does, because MC integration works due to the law of large numbers - exactly what is presented in the article.

Right, that's what is in the article, but just naming a random arbitrary use doesn't make any sense.

Some people actually find learning new things to be interesting and would therefore appreciate a comment giving them a new avenue of exploration to pursue.

Yep, several particle accelerator studies use it to model neutrino's.

Probably as long as most nuclear software (codes) are written in mostly Fortran. It is not that difficult to learn Fortran. Some "Codes" require a mixing C and Fortran during the object linking process. Most of the times the intel Fortran compiler is preferred.

There is no good DOS client left to support modern implementations of SMB now that 1.0 has been removed from most modern servers. For a while I was using the MS-DOS Client with Samba, I think the new versin of Samba finally took out SMB 1.0

Samba 4.11 disabled it by default, but the code is still around as of 4.16:

I thought it was taken out by everyone defending against WannaCry
