What market forces stop vendors selling small quantities of far better tech at far better profits? Price discrimination is fundamental in marketing: different people will (can) pay different prices.

Going to 16 core on AM4 looks to be trivial on paper since they're already doing 12 core: just a matter of clock speeds and core voltage to make it happen inside of AM4 parameters.

Often we forget a company of one person is no company, it’s a business. A company implies multiple people working toward a goal, often people forget that, so start thinking about it now.

Start thinking about who you will hire. What will they do? How much do you need to pay them? What skills do they need?

Begin with a spreadsheet. Estimate monthly cash flow. How many employees can you afford? What’s the ROI from a single employee? In the beginning it may just be you. Which employees even contribute to revenue and which are just support? At what point does the ROI of the employee bring in enough revenue to hire a second employee and have sufficient runway for the business? Then figure out when you can hire the third, and the forth, and at what point (if ever) does revenue grow enough that you can start hiring dozens of employees. Does this business still make sense with this company?

How many hours do your employees work? What hours do they work? How much time off do they get? How much does it cost you? As your headcount grows, your revenue should be growing, but your costs also grow. Is there ever time to make big company investments? Better offices or company getaways for morale and team building? Do you even have offices? Where do all these people work? Surely you can’t all just be in a coffee shop somewhere. Do they work remotely? If so then what time zones are they in, and how will you know they can trust you or you trust them? How do you know they won’t steal from the company, or do their own personal work while working on company time?

Who will do your sales? Initially probably you, but not for long, you have other things to do. How will sales people be compensated? Purely commission based? Maybe it works if you have a very high value product, but even then you probably also need to give them a salary to keep them around. How much commission? How long is the sales cycle?

How will you measure employee performance? How will you deal with non-performers? How will you fire someone? With little to no mercy? Even if they really need the job?

And how will you delegate responsibilities? When do you plan to delegate spending decisions to someone who handles finances? When will you dedicate someone to hiring people and managing employee relations?

All this and more are things you will have to confront if you plan to build a real company.
> Pages like You might not need jQuery try to sell the idea that it’s easy to ditch jQuery[...]

I wasn't aware of http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/, but that's an inaccurate summary of what the website tries to do and really does it a disservice.

It very specifically says, in the first sentence on the site, that you should use jQuery for regular development - it's specifically talking about people developing libraries, and encouraging them to not force other people to load jQuery as an extra dependency, which is a very reasonable position. And I don't think it's trying to sell how easy plain JS is, as much as just giving translation code from common jQuery code to plain code, so that if you want to go that route, it'll be easier to do so!

Here, I'll just quote the first text on the page (emphasis mine):

"jQuery and its cousins are great, and by all means use them if it makes it easier to develop your application.

If you're developing a library on the other hand, please take a moment to consider if you actually need jQuery as a dependency. Maybe you can include a few lines of utility code, and forgot the requirement. If you're only targeting more modern browsers, you might not need anything more than what the browser ships with."

My guess is that bandwidth and cooling limitations meant that 16C/32T Ryzen wouldn't have been much faster than 12C/24T. It sounds like the 12C/24T outperforms the 12C/24T Intel; if they had released the 16C/32T reviewers would compare it against an 18C/36T Intel chip, which it may not do as well against.
It is much cheaper than I thought. Thanks!

Setting impossible standards only keeps you believing what you want to believe and what you already believe. It's logically equivalent to blind faith, you believe what you want to believe rather than what has most (even if imperfect) evidence.

You are forgetting that your status quo belief also has to come from somewhere, and its quality of evidence is probably worse than those alternatives you are attacking for not being good enough to change your belief. If it was better you would present it.
The ironic part is that mobile 5G is basically pointless. Fixed 5G could provide competition to cable companies if it actually works, but mobile 5G’s range is so short that anywhere with mobile 5G will be getting several hundred mbps on 4G from the same site and fiber improvements necessary for 5G that 5G itself is pointless. The upside is that the areas that get a dense small-cell buildout for 5G will have way better 4G service as a result that virtually everyone can use as soon as the cells go up and the fiber is lit up for them.
I’m pretty much in agreement with this, to a point. jQuery is a reliable and fast way to make a age do just about anything, except maintaining state.

The KISS principle is practically unheard of in web development lately - I see teams using more “hip” technologies like React or Angular for simple sites, but then the complexity of the app increases considerably for not that much in the way of gains. Sometimes simpler really is better

Sure. Roast vegetables and bread for example I almost always do in the 200-250 range. Roast meat and fish I often do between 85-150, or 220-250 if I'm finishing them in the oven. Sometimes I'll start at 250 and then finish at 150.
> Has it occured to you you might simply not understand the advantages of this approach?

I find it pretty rude to use the "you don't like it because you don't understand it" argument. I build SPAs at work, I know their benefits, and I still believe that they're more difficult to develop than adding JS on top of classic HTML (not saying they're worse, but certainly I don't find them easier).

> So when the author says that classic HTML with sprinkled js on top is "easier to develop", I smirk. If it were, developers would not be flocking en masse towards SPAs and the like. Those are gaining traction because they are easier to develop and easier to maintain.

I'd say that we, developers, often move to overcomplicated and difficult tools/approaches. Or we move to tools that are simple only to see them grow in size and complexity. The fact that something becomes popular doesn't mean that it's necessarily better or easier to maintain.
I suspect that this preference is purely theoretical...

I am likely the odd one out here, but wouldn't having the capability to turbo a single core to, let's say, 5.5 GHz or higher as factory stock be more useful in real life than the one or all eight core turbo to 5 GHz instead of 4.7? There are still enough single core/single thread apps out there that could benefit from faster single core performance, and this newest and hottest (also in temperature) i9 cannot go faster in single core than the 9900K.

Something seldom considered while discussing the use of libraries and frameworks: green computing.

Mind that you're multiplying any overhead thousandfold or even millionfold when transferring the overhead to each client connecting to the service (including several instances of network infrastructure). So,"how much effort it can be to use vanilla JS", – it may be well worth the extra effort, once, on a single side of the communication chain.
There are a lot of answers to that question, but they all summarize down to: you are the developer not the user.

* Perhaps those 10 lines execute faster

* Perhaps those 10 lines are exactly 10 lines, where jQuery is 2 lines plus a 65k library

* Perhaps those 10 lines work equally in multiple environments (node, deno, electron, browser) where jQuery does not.

* Perhaps those 10 lines sit behind a custom abstraction that actually looks like a single method

* Perhaps those 10 lines do something jQuery does not

* Perhaps those 10 lines scale and extend in ways jQuery does not

* Perhaps those 10 lines have a desired side effect
As an outsider, the framing of this question as a (false) dichotomy really looks like the strongest selling point of (US flavoured) capitalism.

> I'm from a third world country, so I won't be able to alter contract clauses

Just because you need a job doesn't mean you should accept whatever the company offers. You should be assertive and inquisitive when it comes to these kinds of clauses, especially at new jobs. I've had contracts altered slightly or completely before starting with a company, from things like where and with whom I get to work after I leave, to IP. Even if company says that this is a deal breaker for them and that the clause has to stay, and you choose to accept, I think it's good to at least demonstrate that your objection.

This is not evidence of any trends or tailwinds behind socialism in the long term. The exact same cohort will change their minds over the next 40-60 years.

Historically, young people always prefer socialism, because they tend not to have a firm idea of what capitalism is, or how they benefit from it. They are still learning how the world works and what their place is in it. They are more prone to utopianism and idealism. This generation, in particular, has no historical knowledge of the great human cost of socialism to the billions of people who, in the last century, suffered under socialist regimes.

Hence the well-known quote that no one can definitively attribute[1]: "A young man who isn't a socialist hasn't got a heart; an old man who is a socialist hasn't got a head."

Of course, without a definition, and with "socialism" covering a wide range from "social democracy" to "full on communism" this finding doesn't tell us much more than "More Research Needed".

Good to see that more Americans are realising that unchecked capitalism isn't doing them any good though.
How does one ask this question? "Do you support that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole?"
they've seen what capitalism does to a country. the greed, the shareholders vs workers struggle, the banksters, they're all good reasons to not like capitalism.

what they didn't see is what a centrally planned socialist economy does to a country. i'd like to invite them to a trip around eastern europe and post-soviet republics and 'republics'.

Which of these problems:

- Lack of affordable healthcare

- Expensive universities

- No social safety net

- Problematic privatized prison system

Google seems to look for the most relevant topics, then zone in on the one most likely yours, then fill the result set with topics mostly from the one it think you favor. At page three you'll find pages from all kinds of topics. I think this is an ok approach.

But what if instead you filled the result set with the top result from each topic, and then let the user select a topic to drill down, you could have a "more like this" link for each result item and topic. Wouldnt that more resemble what we like about the library? We want to find the right shelf, then browse a while.
jQuery is an idiomatic DSL but far from intuitive (does “after” imply a DOM modifying action or just a selector?). So I find it okay that browsers have a verbose API as it makes it clearer. Bare DOM API is nowhere close to jQuery in terms of practicality though.
If you're right, then those stats should have stayed stable.
And both camps stopped evolving around 1960. Exceptions are fringe.

What is called 'capitalism' changed every few decades until it froze after Milton Friedman. Friedman's negative income tax proposal (effectively very similar to UBI) was already too radical.

The 'socialism' froze around the same time to the baby boomer era Social Democracy that worked actually quite well in industrial society. It has no answers to post-industrial problems. Except in cases where capitalism is overshooting.

Eventually there will be change, but it can't be framed socialism vs capitalism. See for example: http://radicalmarkets.com/ and Common Ownership Self-Assessed Tax (COST).

I want to know how « active » the actively managed funds are.

If the fund is actively looking for deep value bets and trying to drum up increased value for stockholders, then it’s truly active.

But if they’re just creating a « high-income fund » and just throwing together a basket of high dividend stocks, or a real estate fund and putting together a basket of REITs, they’re effectively passive funds and have little impact on the market vs. true index funds. On average, switching between these doesn’t distort the market.
If you by “socialism” mean “European model” and not the 100% pure Wikipedia-definition of socialism (just like I expect “capitalism” has a reasonable interpretation too)...

What do you expect? They’ve grown up seeing the increasing failure and corruptedness of American corporatism and global capitalism.

Of course they will be drawn to something different!

What would be interesting is to see what young Europeans who has grown up with “socialism” answers when asked the same.

Will their experiences with the failures of socialism cause them to come up with the opposite answer?

Isn't avoiding such unpleasant situations one of the main reasons why people try to make more money, move into nicer neighborhoods, etc.? I'm not sure there is such a big market for "entertainment" that makes you feel bad.

This has nothing to do with an "Argumentum ad populum". I'm saying devs are flocking towards it because it's a lot easier to work with and maintain.

There's a lot of reasons why this is true. One is using a single programming language. Another is having the server app be aware of the entire app rendering rather than just templating-in bits and pieces. I could go on but that's not the point I'm trying to make.

> So when the author says that classic HTML with sprinkled js on top is "easier to develop", I smirk. If it were, developers would not be flocking en masse towards SPAs and the like. Those are gaining traction because they are easier to develop and easier to maintain. Monumentally so.

Let me put it this way, both as a developer and user of SPAs, I have long since observed that SPAs, on average, tend to be much more resource intensive (it's not infrequent that my laptop fans start spinning), buggier, and harder to use. I don't think this is surprising, because "maintaining state" is great and all, but it also means that once that state goes sideways your app goes sideways, too.

Does this describe every SPA? No. Does that mean that every template app is better? No. But is the average SPA app worse than the average template app? In my experience it is (although I will admit I lack empirical data).

I don't think that popularity is a good yardstick. jQuery is clearly not the optimal way to develop web-apps – this post was never intended to argue as such, merely to argue that it's better than vanilla JS that I've seen advocated quite a lot recently – so people go to "alternative" solutions which lacks the problems jQuery has, but that doesn't mean these solutions don't create different problems on their own.

I don't know what the optimal way to develop webapps is, but I do know that the current generation of SPA frameworks isn't it. Probably some sort of hybrid approach, or a completely different one that hasn't been invented yet, is. In the meanwhile, a template-based approach is much easier to understand (less can go wrong), and is probably the best approach for many (though not all) websites.
This... Is not right. You can not extrapolate personality traits from answers to silly questions.

I agree that breaking up these companies is the best option. I can understand the calls for regulation but that is only treating the symptom and will have negative side-effects. The size and position of companies like Facebook leads to a concentration of power which is almost never desirable.

Judging by the massive growing homeless encampments everywhere I don't think it's really theory anymore.
