L'électrification croissante des systèmes s'accompagnera, dans les années à venir, d'une hausse de la demande en énergie nucléaire. L'augmentation de la production de cette énergie se révèle indispensable pour combler les besoins du pays et permet d'offrir une autonomie énergétique réelle. Associée à une forte demande en main-d’œuvre qualifiée, la dynamique en cours traduit une renaissance de la filière française du nucléaire.

The best method for accelerating a computer is the one that boosts it by 9.8 m/s2. (Anonymous) There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. (C.A.R. Hoare) A good programmer is someone who always looks both ways before crossing a one-way street. (Doug Linder) The bulk of all patents are crap. Spending time reading them is stupid. It’s up to the patent owner to do so, and to enforce them. (Linus Torvalds) A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history–with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila. (Mitch Radcliffe)

Fifty years of programming language research, and we end up with C++? (Richard A. O’Keefe) Don’t worry if it doesn’t work right. If everything did, you’d be out of a job. (Mosher’s Law of Software Engineering) Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are–by definition–not smart enough to debug it. (Brian Kernighan) Computer language design is just like a stroll in the park. Jurassic Park, that is. (Larry Wall) But what is it good for? (Engineer at the Advanced Computing Systems Division of IBM, commenting on the microchip, 1968)

I’ve noticed lately that the paranoid fear of computers becoming intelligent and taking over the world has almost entirely disappeared from the common culture. Near as I can tell, this coincides with the release of MS-DOS. (Larry DeLuca) The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should therefore be regarded as a criminal offense. (E.W. Dijkstra) If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger. (Frank Lloyd Wright) One of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that–lacking zero–they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs. (Robert Firth)

Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live. (Martin Golding) Optimism is an occupational hazard of programming; feedback is the treatment. (Kent Beck) Come to think of it, there are already a million monkeys on a million typewriters, and Usenet is nothing like Shakespeare. (Blair Houghton) I think Microsoft named .Net so it wouldn’t show up in a Unix directory listing. (Oktal)
