In the era of dual socket, single core xeons, ServerWorks also produced non Intel chipsets, North and South bridge, for motherboard makers to use. There were tyan and supermicro boards that used them. Common at the time in 1ru and 2ru size servers. Also found on big quad socket supermicro boards.

From 2002: https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/73498-serverworks-ships-...

I actually think the ibm systems used the grandchampion chipset.

Splunk | San Francisco (Partial San Jose possible) | ONSITE | VISA

Splunk is constantly looking for strong C++ programmers, especially those with experience in application design, systems programming, and/or distributed systems[1]. If you're someone that thinks in "am I causing too many IOs?" or "how many HTTP requests could be queued up when we're running 1000 nodes?", we'd like to hear from you.

We have many C++[2] positions open, but here are the 2 categories I'm the hiring manager for, with a detailed description for each. Feature responsibilities are similar, with seniority/experience as the differentiator:

Senior: https://www.splunk.com/en_us/careers/jobs/senior-software-en...

Principal: https://www.splunk.com/en_us/careers/jobs/principle-software...

Our engineers build the product on Linux, OSX, and Windows, although the product runs on far more platforms. Engineers get to choose which tools they would like to use. Experience with Makefiles (& CMake), gcc, bash, and Python are helpful, although not strictly required.

[1] We get that not everyone has had an opportunity to gain in-depth experience with each of these. If your programming / logic skills are strong, you will learn the details on the job - we work in teams here, so nobody has to go it alone.

[2] While primary duties tend to be in C++, this also implies strong knowledge of C (memory management, for example). Occasionally you have to write small amounts of Python, but this is easy to pick up on the job (or copy/pasta, we have a large corpus by now).

On come on, this entire "spec" can be summarized in two sentences. It can be validated with a 13 character regex.

I share some of your sentiment though: I feel like the biggest reason to enforce a style like this is not for "machine readable commit messages" (I mean, why?), but to encourage people to split refactors and features in separate commits. This makes it easier to understand what's going on later.

I think this site should've begun with that, and left the spec as a footnote.

I’m pretty sure it was https session keys for pulling packages. I can’t recall how I fixed it. Best bet is logged into the Linux host and cross linked dev/urandom, or just restarted the host. Hasn’t happened again, and I was just experimenting with couple of images over the last few weeks.
Happened at a company I worked for. Anecdotal, but it happens.
The Terminator 2 movie is a prime example of using envroinment maps which are supported by OpenGL since day one. There is zero raytracing used in this movie. This shows again that from a psychovisual viewpoint 100% accurate reflections are utterly pointless.

Yes, linkbait 'you' is a perennial annoyance. At least this one has the good manners to leave a pretty nice title if we simply delete the offending pronoun.
I have a very similar approach to things. I found regular (but not daily - maybe 3 times a week) pair programming and test-driven development was bitter medicine for my anxiety.

Pairing at first can lead to high anxiety in an introvert, but like exercise for someone out of shape, I've found built up confidence in my abilities (and also kills overconfidence which is another affliction). A unique kind of flow can be achieved with your pair, one that isn't quite as productive as 2 a.m. "in the zone" flow, but is also much easier to slip into with regularity.

Nowadays I find in general my solo work just requires freedom from distraction (shutting Slack notifications off), the anxiety builds more slowly.
this is only a problem at big firms where your performance is tied to your billable hours.

Analog Devices' datasheets and application notes taught me so much I didn't learn formally, especially in regards to circuit design in real-world conditions. On the average, they're a real pleasure to read and, generally, you can tell people who actually used the parts to build things had direct input into the datasheet design and layout. As you contributed to that, thank you for making this hobbyist's life better and less stressful. I can only hope Analog Devices permits their staff to publish more about their process for designing, building, and maintaining documentation as they do.

To really understand what the author is getting at it helps to have some experience with lower quality data sheets from other manufacturers. Take, for example, the WS2801, a popular LED driver chip from World Semi[1]. All of the necessary information is there (I used it to successfully wire them up and bit bang the LED colors) but it's just not pretty. The blue header is jarring and the graphs are screenshots from a scope.

Yes, US/NSA/Boeing must at least be under suspicion in these circumstances.

As the Comac C919 approaches certification and full production, airlines, especially Chinese ones, will delay orders, to wait and see, or actively prefer the C919 over the 737 series. Even if the C919 is delayed with the usual teething troubles, many customers will decide to wait, or buy Airbus if they have to.

At this point, Boeing is the weakest of the three competitors in the mid-size market, and must be desperate to do anything to survive.
IBM was locked in a brutal fight with HP and Dell to take share in the early x86 server market. Their chipsets were neat but they looked silly next to an HP Opteron box. Integrated memory control ended the chipset race.

Still their chipsets had neat features worth remembering, such as the ability to use local main memory as a last-level cache of memory read from remote nodes. And of course they went to 64 sockets which was respectable.
Fair enough, though a well adjusted Super-Automatic Espresso machine can reliably and reproducibly get you 90% of the way there hundreds of times a day. The majority of customers wouldn't be able to distinguish that last 10% anyway. Have a barista on hand to adjust the Super-Automatic daily, to account for changing bean freshness, and you're pretty much good to go.

We're making AI for real estate. Our business is growing and we really need you to help expand our bot’s capabilities, consolidate, simplify, and scale.

We have six engineers, and we started in Summer 2017.

Our first product is Lisa, an agent that leases houses and apartments. Our clients now include some of the biggest companies in real estate.

People perceive a human leasing agent, texting from a nearby area code. Everyone who inquires gets a text back in a minute. If there's a question the bot can't answer, it goes to human fallback.

Lisa talks to thousands of leads an hour, and almost none ever ask "are you a bot". The hybrid AI (bot+human fallback) responds to most messages fully automatically, but still passes for human!

Speaking for myself, this is one of the most fun and technically challenging projects I’ve worked on.

We offer competitive salary and benefits.

Required: speed, pragmatism, a penchant for simplicity.

ML: Python, Tensorflow. Backend: Java. Frontend: React, Typescript, GraphQL, Apollo.

(Experience with any of those is nice but not required. Tell us about your past projects and what motivates you!)

If you’re interested, please email me: dc@dynasty.com
Damn, why didn't I think of that?

It was just an example in support of the point made in the parent: as far as Google is concerned, the only people that matter are ones with unlimited, fast and reliable Internet access at all times without exception.

If you thought I was facing some kind of dilemma regarding whether or not to buy a phone that is useless half the time I leave my house, then thank you, but that's not the case.
That depends on whether you see technical debt accrual as a 'meta problem'.

The faster you iterate without thinking long-term - the faster it accrues.

20/20 hindsight and all that.
I started following hardware news maybe a year or two before these IBM P4 were manufactured. I remember all the buzz on sites like Geek.com and TheInquirer.net about the soon to be released AMD Clawhammers, Intel constantly pushing Itanium, and the slow feature crawl of Intel Xeons marching over Big Iron regardless of what the Itanium team wanted.
Building an API for Tranco
Excerpt:

"This is an in-progress project to document the internals of the XC2064 FPGA. The XC2064 was the first FPGA, introduced by Xilinx in 1985. This FPGA contained just 64 complex logic blocks (CLBs), in an 8x8 grid. It was soon followed by the XC2018, which was essentially the same chip but with 100 CLBs in a 10x10 grid."

Also, the following PDF is very useful for understanding FPGA's at a low-level, where Ken explains what FPGA's are at their simplest electronic/gate levels:

Vathys | Vathys.ai | Lead Fabrication/Packaging Engineer | Full Time | Bay Area, San Francisco, Palo Alto, Mountain View | $120-250K plus equity

Vathys (YC W18) is building transformative machine learning hardware that will redefine what is possible with machine learning.

We are building an integrated system- a new way of building a computer. Instead of having disparate chips and connecting them together with large wires, we build a single 3D and 2D scale-out system. In some ways it can be thought of as the "logical endgame of 2.5D/3.5D integration". Leveraging this new level of integration also required a radically new architecture and circuit design methodology.

We are hiring a lead fabrication/packaging engineer to implement the 3D integration flow.

Generous compensation will be provided to the right talent.

Please email tapabrata(underscore)ghosh(at)vathys(dot)ai if you're interested.
I feel like this is very unfair. In my narrative, the Clinton administration saw the writing on the wall. Jobs would be outsourced regardless. The win-win was to get China into the global economy ASAP and retrain the displaced workers. What happened instead was that retraining budgets were unnecessarily thin because the GOP-lead congress cried "socialism" and funneled all that reduced budgetary outlay to for-profit colleges.
A couple recent exceptional datasheets I've come across include ADI's ADA4530 [1] and Renesas/Intersil's ISL28110 [2]; both, coincidentally, happen to be for regular old op-amps. The ADA4350 datasheet in particular is absolutely stunning and proof that the old ways are not completely gone. The ISL28110 datasheet is notable when, in an era when I all too often need to read between the lines to determine the type of input transistor used (seriously, guys, it's not hard to show and there are only six possibilities so it's not like you're giving away secrets here), they show a complete device model.

That said, I still miss LTC, NSC, and the pre-Renesas Intersil.

I can only speak from personal experience. But I would not agree.

Collection of data needs to be covered in a privacy document. You must argue why you're collecting it. There has to be a retention plan, such that data is purged when the user account is deleted, and/or the data expires over time.

You can of course get exemptions, IF there is a valid business reason. But all of this needs to be reviewed and approved by privacy people.

If you want to get things done. The paperwork is a strong incentive to avoid keeping data you don't need.

Note. privacy reviews cover more than I mentioned here. This was just a highlight.
I don't think people downvote you to make you less curious, they downvote you to make your posting less visible.

IBM flirted with Itanium. They spent a lot of money on software support for Itanium. They sold a few hardware Itanium systems to customers who really wanted one.

There just wasn't enduring customer demand to make an ongoing hardware/software product out of it.
This would be better if it was called the Committer Convenant.
20 years ago this kind of stuff took minutes per frame on state-of-the-art SGI workstations. Now I get > 25 fps in my phone browser. Wow.
i don't know if those are really related in the way you've stated.

i agree, she's taking advantage of her/her partner's attractiveness to boost influence, but that doesn't seem to be related to feminism in my view - that's just leveraging assets.

a double standard there would be like responding to a critical comment from another woman by saying "well, men know best" or something like that.
I think theregister and theinquirer helped steer a lot of people away from itanium in that era, showing the $/performance that could be achieved with a larger number of much less costly dual socket Xeon and opteron boxes. People who really wanted to centralize everything on one godly giant machine went to things like zseries mainframe, not itanium. Everyone else started running Linux on x86...
Kind of, but to be safe you have to change 12 preferences from the defaults, IMO.

You know what a blog is, what photo-sharing is, and RSS too. You know how people are social, a little bit vain, and like to brag. I'm sure you know about ad-tech, data-mining, EULAs nobody reads and dark patterns. I'm sure you've used email and chat, and you know deep down all email clients suck anyway.

Mix it all together, put it on phones with push notifications, and boom, you have Facebook and control half the Internet.
> Having such a unique processor at your disposal, it’s absurd not to build a powerful x64-retro system on it. One of the options for using such a system in general can be to build a universal “PC-harvester” that supports all Microsoft operating systems from DOS to Windows 10.

I thought all modern intel/amd cpus are backwards compatible back to the 8086, and so capable of doing that?
