In the late 1970s, when the discussions were hot about what to put into Fortran 77 (and there were some really crazy proposals), one of the big gurus (Hoare?) remarked that "I don't know what programming languages will look like in year 2000, but I know they will be named 'Fortran'".

Enterprise software platform provider Mendix recently announced the results of its annual Low-Code Survey that demonstrates a shift in low-code application use. All hail Excel and Access!

Quote: 7 in 10 organizations now consider low-code a core part of their business
Said by the organizations themselves? Or by the provider / owner of the low code software?
If the first... we are doomed.
If the second... I think the people in the marketing department should attend basic school again.

I love how these "statistics" work. Here's how it goes.
Marketing intern: Let's tell people that 99.9% of businesses use this.
Marketing Boss: No, no. We don't go that high because then it is too obvious. You see we say 70% -- which is a majority -- and then each individual at all those businesses that don't actually use it (99.9%) think, "hmm... I guess we are in the lower 30% here".
It's a perfect Gaslight!! They use it everywhere nowadays!!
Marketing intern: You really are in the top 70% of all Marketing Bosses though, right?
Marketing Boss: As far as you know.

The real question is "what is low code?". Model based design has its advantages in many situations, so does autogenerated code based on domain specific languages and tools.
In certain scenarios enforced consistency is the most important feature of the design. When it's broken planes fall, self-driven cars accelerate towards a truck backside or a guard-rail, ships sink, power plants go boom...

A new attack method named COVID-bit uses electromagnetic waves to transmit data from air-gapped systems, which are isolated from the internet, over a distance of at least two meters (6.5 ft), where it's captured by a receiver. Bad news if your power supply is radioactive
"For a successful attack on such systems, a rogue insider or an opportunist intruder must first plant custom-made malware on the target computers through physical access to the air-gapped device or network." Why, oh why, do I insist on posting these?

Full-stack engineering sounds like a dream. In fact it’s a recipe for slower development, lower-quality software, soaring technical debt, and overstressed engineers. Jack of all trades, master of none

This guy acts like a human can only do one thing ever 
And being full stack has nothing to do with multi-tasking, you can first write an API and then create a UI, maybe even days apart.
I can be a back-end coder and play the piano, why couldn't I be a back-end coder and know some HTML and CSS and maybe even some JavaScript too?

So a single engineer can build the mechanical part of a 3-phase motor with specified torque, speed, noise and power requirement, then design the electrical circuit keeping heat, EM emissions and fire safety into account, then unbundle the electrical circuit to be printed on a PCB, write the control algorithm on a microcontroller and then the CAN / LIN communciation layer with the standard diagnostic.

I don't even know what you're talking about, but maybe.
This guy says "engineering", but is talking about software development.
Really the only "full-stack" I've heard of is that of a front-end/back-end developer, and that's what this guy is talking about too.
And yeah, it's perfectly viable to know both (and even database design too, as he also mentions).

First-ever net-energy gain from fusion raises hopes for zero-carbon alternative. We’ve got the power!
Well, more than they put in, anyway. So, maybe fusion is now only 30-50 years in the future, instead of 50-100.

Fusion power has been 20-30 years in the future for the past 70 years.

Quote: Siemens worked with the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing Institute in Pittsburgh, created in 2017 and funded by the Department of Defense to help old-line manufacturers find ways to use the new technology.
IOW, they worked with the ARMI, created and funded by the Department of Defense. Makes sense; wouldn't robotic soldiers need robotic uniforms?
