Do turn your adblocker on for that site. I had at some point turned it off to be nice to them - but what I got this time was too much for me. Flashing everywhere, a third of my browser window for ads, and then an ad popup floating across the text that I had to manually click to close.

If you are interested in RTOS (real-time OS) courses I recommend checking edX for the expected September 2016 arrival date of a followup to this course:
edX course page: https://www.edx.org/course/embedded-systems-shape-world-utau...
More information: http://edx-org-utaustinx.s3.amazonaws.com/UT601x/index.html
The excellent quality of the above course - which includes programming actual hardware (you have to invest about $50 for components) - raises the expectations for that upcoming course.
.
EDIT
The page is already up for the new course "Real-Time Bluetooth Networks - Shape the World":
https://www.edx.org/course/real-time-bluetooth-networks-shap...
> In this lab-based computer science course, explore the complexities of embedded systems and learn how to develop your own real-time operating system (RTOS) by building a personal fitness device with Bluetooth connectivity (BLE).
- Enhance your embedded system skills
- Write your own real-time operating system
- Design, develop and debug C code
- Implement a personal fitness device
- Communicate using Bluetooth

Yep. Human brains are made to see faces in clouds - and patterns everywhere. Because its the only way for that little brain to function. In reality nothing is the same unless it's identical (not a copy - but the exact same thing, maybe seen from different angles or at different times). We like our clever analogies, and they serve a purpose, but even when making them it's best to be aware that it's a product of our brain and to always be ready to question if it actually serves the intended purpose. Even if you can use a specific analogy in one context doesn't mean it's useful in another one. I think it's okay to make such analogies - as long as everybody including the person making them is aware of the shortcomings and that being able to make one is a very, very low threshold, given that it comes from brains that see animals and human faces in floating water vapor.

> What I'm talking about is extremely elementary
Whenever someone doesn't have an argument they resort to such empty phrases, merely repeating over and over "I am right!". Maybe you should have studied some neuroscience LIKE I DID, than you would not be left without arguments in discussions about neuroscience.
> plus the actions of muscles all take time!
And yet there is no "prediction". As has been pointed out to you by a lot of people including myself repeatedly. Cognitive dissonance is strong in "jamesrcole".

At the bottom of the article:
> This is an evolving publication, and I shall be extending it over the coming days and weeks to cover more topics on serverless architecture including some things commonly confused with serverless, and the benefits and drawbacks of this approach.

Which is wrong. As is the use of "absolutely" - to show that you have the universe-opinion. What hubris. And it does not matter that some guy "himself" posted some opinion either. Right were you link to there are different opinions from other people that show more thought was put into them. The "pg" comment actually is the only one for your argument, all others are against!

What does ownership have to do with it, you fucking moron?
That does not make him more right than any other human being. Ownership means one can impose ones will, it does not mean you are omniscient.
