"Conglomerate" is a latinate word for "put together", which is to say that it doesn't immediately refer to the idea of a parent company with controlling interests in several subsidiaries over different markets so you're bound to pick up different uses of the same word. For instance, "conglomerate" is also a technical term in geology. Just check out the hits from the 19th century.

Also, I'm wary of using n-grams to infer anything about the relevance of concept because there are such things as intellectual fads, and some expressions might suddenly hit public consciousness and later fade away without the idea it referred to ever becoming any less relevant. MacLuhan's media theory, for instance, became an intellectual fad in the 1970s and MacLuhan hit celebrity status. Later on, it faded away, but I don't think what he was describing became any less relevant. This kind of stuff is noticeable to anyone, though they might be hard pressed for examples: just try and notice how the buzzwords in your field changed over time.

The expression "multinational corporation", as well as the word "globalization", were also fads of the 1970s too. At the time, they were more like academic fads: researchers started taking notice of these things and suddenly they became "a thing" among academics as it was a frontier research topic. Later on they hit public massively, probably peaking around the late 1990s and early 2000s with the 1999 Seattle riots, the FTAA debates and just the overall shift towards massive multilateral agreements coupled with shrinking governments. Nowadays neither of the two is as "in" as it was back them either in political or academic debate, but the concepts themselves aren't any less relevant. Or at least that's my two cents on the whole issue.

My favourite part of the Webpack 1->2 transition was when they updated their old documentation to say that Webpack 1 was deprecated [0], but failed to mention if the user was currently looking at the Webpack 1 docs or the Webpack 2 docs!

I ended up reading the Webpack 1 documentation for several weeks after 2 came out. I'd see the warning, go "oh, I better not use Webpack 1 then", and continue reading its docs. Cue lots and lots of head scratching.

Webpack developers: if you're going to release a new set of documentation for 3, then please, please make this clear.

[0]: For example, https://webpack.github.io/docs/code-splitting.html. "webpack v1 is deprecated. We encourage all developers to upgrade to webpack 2." There's a link, sure, but I didn't follow it because I had no reason to think I wasn't already on the Webpack 2 docs page. grumble grumble

Holy shit, I thought you were kidding.

We're at a point where the bundler, one of a dozen elements required for a 'barebones' modern js application, needs a book.

I'm finding it hard to find motivation to do any kind of web based side projects these days because they inevitably begin with 'which combination of latest and greatest libraries do I need to spend an entire day wiring up before I can do hello world this time?'. Someone make this madness end.

Open up a crypto exchange, it's been amateur hour there for a good few years! Offer customers lots of impressive sounding derivatives features, and you can rake in the money. You don't even have to play fair, you can randomly close punters' positions at a whim, stage your own 'flash crashes' to force-sell some suckers, and eventually, when business has grown, your exchange can be 'hacked' and customer money can just vanish. Not your problem!

Existing exchanges have been amazed to find out that these 'hacks' aren't even the end of the money train, you can create derivates of the hacked money to let customers re-deposit and trade even further! It is an amazing new world of finance!

Even though its BASIC interpreter used a 40-bit float, that I was downsampling the resolution to get 64-ish dithered colors, and that it was compiled down to mostly ROM calls, it took a very long time to render regions, in special those closer to the set itself.

Ok. As clock-efficient as the 6502 was, it still ran at 1 MHz.
I feel like the pre-made meal delivery sector is one where the company that throws the most money into advertising is the one that will win. The market is so saturated.

Personally, I'm not a fan. They don't end up being much cheaper than eating out, and by circumstance of being microwavable food in a plastic container, they never plate anywhere near as well as they show the pictures. They will never taste as good as you'd hope either, because microwaved salmon steaks just aren't that good.

I actually got some from a local company that does paleo meals, but I just found them to be too expensive for what they are.

The D language is currently heading towards deterministic and safe memory management, making it possible to avoid the GC overall, hence further work on GC improvements was deprioritized.
http://dlang.org/blog/2017/06/16/life-in-the-fast-lane/

The problems are known and indeed a full rewrite on this ancient GC would be in order. Since D 2.072.0 it's possible to link and use different GCs, so a faster one could be written as an external library which would be a very welcome effort.
https://dlang.org/changelog/2.072.0.html#gc-runtimeswitch-ad...

I'd be interested in experimenting with a Connectivity-Based GC (https://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/hosking/690M/cbgc.pdf), leveraging type information to do partial collections.
Write barriers come with a performance penalty (~3-5%) that we don't want to impose on people using deterministic memory management, but most GCs capable of performing partial collections, e.g. generational GCs, do require write barriers, Connectivity-Based GCs do not.

For the time being the pragmatic advise is to replace major sources of GC allocations with deterministic memory management when the GC heap grows too big (~1GB) and performance becomes a problem.

So far this hasn't prevented various people from writing extremely fast D programs.

> Everyone here complaining about medium and still reading it...

At the end of the day the content itself is mostly what matters. As long as people I want to read are posting on Medium I'll read stuff there. And really, it's not that bad these days. But, if the same content were posted somewhere else that offered a better reading experience I'd definitelt to read it there. I do generally avoid clicking on links to local newspaper and TV news sites, since they tend to be truly awful.

Publishers know that content is what matters most, and people will put up with a ton to get to it. But they have a much weaker grip on content than they probably think.
It is either a) a joke on the new employee, courtesy of the other engineer, or b) true, but "pushed out" means to 1..N internal testing cars. Even the latter would be crazy for a new hire but if the test suite or manual testing barriers are high enough then it's at least a possibility.

> If not ICO, why would I pay the Ethereum network to deploy my contract, develop an app, promote it, and then convince my users that they should pay the network to use my app, too (assuming that I hold 0.0000 of Ether and don't care about the rise of its price)?

If you want to enforce the same properties that the Ethereum network can, but you don't want to use anything associated with the Ethereum network, then you need to write something similar. And it turns out this takes work.

So you could either:

(1) write your own separate distributed cryptocurrency system, which is not exactly a "crush some Red Bull and hack it in a weekend" project; or

(2) use Ethereum, which already exists.

As you don't have to do it yourself but you still benefit from it, some people like (2) instead of (1).
> I agree that what we call "bad work ethic" is just something that happens to people in that IQ range.

I want to very clearly point out, that the fact that you agree doesn't in any remote way make the statement any more factual. This again is an unsubstantiated claim, presented with zero evidence.
A cousin, the 4341, was my first mainframe. That was the first time I was exposed to the concept behind pg's "beating the averages article": at a time most of my colleagues were writing dBase or COBOL code, I interned with people using Cincom's Mantis. It was the Rails of the 3270.

Maybe Typescript still lacks maturity in the sense that if you can adapt your projects (and your process) to how it was designed to work, then it's great and provides a lot, but on the other hand it may be quite difficult to adapt it to a particular workflow.
Those benchmarks mean absolutely nothing, because they obviously knew almost nothing about the processors they were trying to use.

1. "Ryzen's AVX2 support is a bold-faced lie" To say this only shows complete ignorance. It was publicly known for many years that Ryzen will have only 128-bit AVX units, compared to the 256-bit AVX units of Haswell and its successors.

Nevertheless, using AVX-256 is still preferable on Ryzen, to reduce the number of instructions, even if the top speed per core is half of that reached by Intel.

2. The benchmark results just show incompetence.
While the top speed per core is half, the number of cores is double, so you just need to run twice more threads for a Ryzen to match the speed of Intel.

It is true that an i7 7700K will retain a small advantage, because of higher IPC and higher clock frequency, but the advantage for correct programs is small, not like the large advantages of those incompetent benchmarks. I have both a 3.6 GHz /4.0 GHz Ryzen and a 3.6 GHz / 4.0 GHz Skylake Xeon, so I know their behavior from direct experience.

While 4-core Intel retains a small advantage in AVX2 computations over 8-core Ryzen, there are a lot of other tasks, e.g. source program compilations, where Ryzen has almost a double speed, so you should choose your processor depending on what is important for you.

3. The most stupid benchmark results are for SHA-1 and SHA-256. Ryzen already implements the SHA instructions that are also implemented in Intel Apollo Lake processors (to boost the GeekBench results against ARM) and will also be implemented in the future Intel Cannonlake processors (whose 2-core version is expected to be introduced this year).

If they had benchmarked a correct program that uses the SHA instructions, Ryzen would have trounced any Kaby Lake processor.
Yes they do refute it: while the talks were still secret Chinese officials were mentioning that "China will formally announce their decision to recover HK", i.e. the UK had 2 years to make the handover public, or China would step up, no officious arrangements accepted.

Additionally, TFA notes that China had HK and Macau removed from the "non sovereign territories" UN list years earlier, so that both couldn't aspire to independence.

Considering that HK was lost following the Opium Wars and the first of the "unequal treaties", something that was considered a deeply humiliating episode in China's history, it's not surprising that their government wanted to "right that wrong".

Thatcher was simply delusional about her initial plans ("I really don't understand why they don't want to renew with us this thing they call Unequal Treaty?")
It was preposterously basic, and it was only a couple days in the entire duration of the apprenticeship.

The only one I found in any way useful was the SQL course that lasted a couple days but that's still something I could have just asked a colleague to give me a quick rundown of.

Essentially, I would have hoped that what I was taught outside of the work would be theory, such as data structures and stuff, but instead I got extremely basic introductions to existing programming languages that I for the most part either knew or could learn the basics in a couple hours.

Also interesting things, just for scale: see a bacterium and a cell nucleus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdhk_-o8_n8

And an actual protein diffusion measurement from inside a nucleus (via light emitting proteins): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDxUmCPxP_E

So, we're still some time from getting a "real" picture of the nucleus. Mostly because it's so dense.

(Here's a video about single particle tracking on the plasma membrane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlq3kkbskaA and the nucleus is at least a magnitude more dense/busy.)

Life is very much about density gradients. Ion channels, osmotic pressure, and so on.

40% of the cytoplasm is proteins (by volume), which is remarkably high, considering a naive lattice packing is just 34% (the tetrahedral lattice with a density of).
Yes, even 'random' spikes and dips in obscure exchanges can force-close positions on some other exchanges.

'We use the average price of 5 difference exchanges to calculate the current BTC price' - then one of those random exchanges goes haywire and BTC trades near 0 on them for a few seconds. Ooops, the average BTC price just dropped 20% so we had to close your position due to lack of margin. Sorry! (This has happened several times in the past few months, for instance...)

WHAT a BEAUTIFUL GIRL WANTS: ULDOUZ WALLACE
Using an object literal is significantly superior than using a dynamic construction in any case where parameterization isn't needed. The body of that reduce looks like what you'd expect the implementation of a custom object literal initialization to look like - something where the members being iterated over are parameterized.

I'm far less fussed about function vs lambda literal bound to a const. Usually that kind of decision comes down to tooling in debuggers - depending on the runtime, turning lambdas back into names may be difficult, if you have lambdas bound to event handlers and the like.
I agree. And I think by dead, we mean Intel becomes irrelevant. Intel will likely still be around in 20 years time, much like ExxonMobile will still be here even if battery suddenly make a major leap, but they will just be irrelevant. Which is like IBM is dying, it has been dying for YEARs, but it is not dead, yet.

And I just want to mention to the parent, Intel were never painted "dead" in the K6 era. Because K6 didn't actually beat Intel. It was the Athlon and Athlon 64. And even in that Era Intel wasn't dead by any means. AMD had at best 30% of market shares, and everyone knew Intel could continue to play the pricing discount game for as long as they wanted.

Right now the PC industry is shrinking. As a matter of fact it is shrinking faster then expected contrary to what numbers you may have read, that is because one specific segment, the PC Gaming Industry is booming, and especially in SEA region. That is why you see "lots" of Gaming Laptop appear, when I would have wanted the same 10 - 15 years ago they simply wont there. And this segment has help the numbers to look not as bad as it is.

Microsoft and Apple are fully aware of how Chromebook is taking places in Education. And Microsoft knows if this continues, there may be a generation of people who dont know Windows, and what could be even worst, they dont use Office, especially Excel! Any Windows Netbook or Notebook are unable to complete with Chromebook on priceing because of Intel. Unless Microsoft and AMD get a deal that uses a Cut down Xbox chip to a price point, Microsoft is forced to go with ARM to complete with Chromebook.

I think Intel is well positioned in the server market. Their biggest threat isn't ARM but AMD, which lower their margin.

Assuming we dont see a killer App on PC that requires a huge jump of CPU performance. The next generation of AMD APU will likely make a killing in the consumer market. AMD Vega GPU along side with Zen. And then Next year you get Zen 2 + Vega on 7nm.

Intel should have open up their Fab. At least they should have worked with Apple, ensuring 300M of these SoC dont goes to Samsung or TSMC. But since they have been straggling to make this decision, TSMC and Apple is now pretty much lined up all the way to 2019 which is the TSMC 7nm+.

With the current CEO i dont have much faith in Intel. I really wish it was Patrick Gelsinger who had became the CEO.
Interestingly I tried both those airports as they're the ones I most frequently arrive at when flying in to the US. I'm not a US citizen, and the lines for immigration at both of those airports take me a couple of hours usually, so I'd have happily stumped up for this service. The quote you offer for both says they do NOT include expedited immigration/customs however. So is your site broken already or what?

Heh. Only a tiny oil industry?

As the others mentioned the obvious, Shell, there is far more to the Dutch offshore/oil industry: most of the world's heavy offshore construction expertise is Dutch (Heerema, Allseas, etc.); 1.32 million barrels/day oil refining capacity. Also,

The top exports of the Netherlands are Refined Petroleum ($38.3B), Crude Petroleum ($14.4B), Computers ($14.2B), Petroleum Gas ($13.6B) and Packaged Medicaments ($13.3B), using the 1992 revision of the HS (Harmonized System) classification.
