You are right, it is probably too late now. But tariffs might have prevented the supply chain from moving or being established in China in the first place if they had been in place ~20 years ago. And while unrealistic, there might be a scenario now that would work: some slowly escalating tariff over a decade that would allow time to deal with the supply chain issues.
Java is the most widely-used programming language in the world. Applets are an insignificantly tiny drop in the bucket of what Java is used for.

I wouldn't hold my breath, though.
At a former (large, organizationally deficient) company, there was this small team of 5 people with very different specialties (and personalities). They were a "strike team" of sorts, tasked with helping out at a technical level different projects that were in trouble. They were excellent. They saved my team's integration of a camera co-processor in an SoC.

But finally a re-org came around and some high-level manager didn't have a box under which to put them (or didn't have the right budget item to fit them in), and the team was dissolved.

The guys were good in the teams they each landed in, but the synergy[1] was dead.

Nowadays, my primary criteria for joining a team is the quality of the people and of the manager. I wish I could say I've seen other teams of the quality of that first one.

[1] yeah I said it
good answer. Got any tips for getting other people to stop using it too?

That supports exactly what I was saying: "In the competition between intuition vs. evidence, evidence wins."

So it's not clear why you are saying "In the case of the A's, intuition seemed to trump evidence, but the author keeps telling us to collect more evidence (in the form of matrices, skill trees, or whatever else). Not only is that the categorically wrong approach, it's also not how you build good teams." (Emphasis mine.)
The package says made in China. Some parts may come from the US. The machines that make the parts may come from the US. But at the end of the day if you walk down any aisle in a big box store almost everything will be stamped with made in China.

Broadcom and Intel still manufacturer chips in the US but the laptops it's packaged in is still shipping from China.

AOT PGO is fantastic tech! However, it can only optimize for the profile that you set up for it. Deploy it on a million machines with a million use cases and some of them aren't going to match up with your profile. In these cases it may very well degrade performance. So you might try to profile scenarios that hit all codepoints equally, by doing so you would defeat the purpose of PGO (and likely nullify it).

JIT PGO is adaptive to the workload that the process is experiencing. It is likely impossible to achieve this with AOT compilation.
> it dynamically links against 4 libraries (on OS X, anyway) while the Go version links against zero.

And how exactly does that work out on platforms that don't have stable syscalls?

This notation has developed over tens to hundreds of years before we had the capabilities of autocomplete and formal typing where a computer can help us write longer names more quickly. This is why single letters became prominent, they were simply easier and faster to write.

But anyone who is serious about writing maintainable code today should be using an IDE where the benefits of susinctness are entirely relegated by intellisense-like tools.

Trading readability for conciseness is near the top of my list of "crimes against future maintainers."

So I had never thought about this in the context of mathematical symbols, but this makes total sense and I'm strongly in favor of relegating mathematical conciseness in favor of readability and specificity.

> If it was just Vancouver and Toronto that would be one thing, but housing across Canada (except perhaps the maritimes) has seen huge gains in the last decade

The biggest trouble with Canadian data is that, unlike most of the rest of the world, they calculate it using the mean. A figure that is easily skewed by the sale of multi-million dollar mansions, which means little to the typical family budgeting for a home. It is true that the average home nationwide has risen substantially, but mainly because of Toronto and Vancouver specifically. Median home prices would be much more useful here, but data is nonexistent (as far as I can tell).

As for the growth, inflation over the period is 16%, so you would expect that much for sure. Historically, houses have followed inflation. Conveniently, I purchased my Canadian (non-Maritime, non-Toronto/Vancouver) home 10 years ago, and that sounds just about right for what I could expect to get out of it a decade on. Maybe slightly more, but the local economy has also improved dramatically in that timeframe, so I expect the locals have seen real increases in their income as well. The best data I can find for the localized area seems to confirm that.

> far beyond income growth.

The government redesigned their website and I have never been able to find it again, but they used to have a really good chart showing incomes over time. For most, their incomes have been been stagnant in real (adjusted for inflation) dollars. That is true. However, the income of the top 20% has skyrocket in the last 10-15 years. The most liberal figure I have ever seen for sales volume in the GTA is 80,000 units per year. A region with 2.6 million households. That is just 3%. It may be a bit of a misnomer to think that average people are buying places at all. If only 3% per year in the GTA are buying homes, that can easily be satisfied by the top 20% who are making huge income gains, especially when you consider that they can buy more than one home.
I might be mistaken, but I thought it was in every non pentium/celeron/atom chip after 2010 and every chip after 2015 with some extensions.

My desktop and laptop have them and they're mid-high end but not upper high end.

Interesting. Would you put me in touch with those people?
The importance of pipe scale and water chemistry is something that the person making the decision absolutely should have known. It's a huge systemic issue if the decision has been taken away from someone with that basic technical knowledge and handed to some administrator.

It really is pretty basic knowledge for someone making decisions about a water system.
Maybe it's like that for you but if you can charge per project with a deadline , it would give you a good flexibility even while running multiple clients in parallel which is what I do.

Which doesn't feel like ripping off by either side even if you take a whole day off if you keep the deadline accordingly.
Pointing out the obvious here, but there seems to be something wrong with your build. Adobe CS should be running very smoothly in your system.

I have CS running on and old i3 machine with 8 GB of RAM with an SSD and an integrated video card, and Photoshop runs as fast as in my MBPr i7.
Similar experience.

I also spent my high school years working on a roadster in the garage with my father, and once I had money I thought I'd like to do that again, but it turns out that knee room, heated seats, airbags, side impact safety, a DSG and not having to fuck around with my car all goddamned weekend trumped my need to tinker, and so it sat in the garage.

Instead I tinker with other things, like frameworks, databases, video games, and plants. And my computer Just Works.
Thanks for confirming that. This looks very interesting. How active is development of the mathematical side of things? Also have graphics capabilities been developed yet or are they far away? The HN article indicated Aurora now Eve would have these capabilities. I'm interested because of the similarities I see between Eve and other literate programming approaches such as the Jupyter project, Mathematica, Sage notebooks, R motebooks. Eve looks like it will soon be joining that group.

Sure, that's precisely what I'm warning about: if you need to adapt to the international market you can not wait 2 or 3 years for someone to adapt to a local "circumstance". Not taking advance that in all EU countries English is at least in primary and secondary education, it is a mistake, in my opinion. More pragmatism in IT through the EU would increase the capability for reaching regional full potential.

E.g. Imagine you're in Germany and you can not hire an expert in some specific specialty because language issues (i.e. because your staff is not able to work in English). Also, when doing collaboration between European companies: imagine having to deal with documentation written in French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, etc. Fortunately, most European IT companies do most of the code and documentation in English (that was not the case of 20-30 years ago, e.g. Imagine having to reprogram 6502 assembly stuff commented in French -or a CPU-less logic circuit, for adding more fun-, or understanding the German documentation for a 25 year old ticket issue machine built in Austria).
That's harder in practice than you make it sound. Firmware updates for Intel ME are handled through OEMs, it's not a file that Intel publishes that an interested person can go to their website and download. The article claims that such a patch has been released to OEMs but is being kept under wraps, which might make it hard to determine when it actually ships in a downstream update. Even if you have a file that you know contains the binary blob of updated firmware, reverse-engineering it to determine what it does differently compared to the previous version is very much non-trivial.

This is a pretty important lesson that gets lost at times. Teams with people of diversified passions work well; if everybody is super into data structures, UX, security, etc., then debates can rage and feelings can get hurt. When people on a team specialize differently, everybody can be a mentor to everybody else. To me, that is a great team to be on.
Agreed... as much as I'd prefer mATX, I think ITX would be the smartest bet... for that matter, if they'd sell "replacement" motherboards with a "core" fee (refunded on turning in the old MB), they could just turn even more of a blind eye to those that really want to go the DIY route with supported hardware. They don't make much money of the desktop users, but those users create most of their money making content for them.

Having a beautiful case that takes a standard ITX board would be great. Yeah, you might not get dual-gpu that way, but even a good ITX would be a huge step up from what they have now...

I suspect they got wrapped around the axle on too much industrial design and painted themselves into a corner where they couldn't upgrade it easily. The ROI of going back to the drawing board so soon was a non-starter.

They're not yet at the point where their developers' grumblings are having a material negative impact on the bottom line. Yet.

I hope they don't make the same mistake twice. But I don't think a hackintosh-inspired tower with the upgrade path left solely to the buyer would be a good strategy.
