You'll be dealing with multiple contributors making changes if you want to upgrade to the latest version, with pull requests from all over the place. Nobody has time to read the entire codebase, so you have to audit and qualify all the random open source contributors instead of just the one group writing the code. You could start with a FLOSS codebase and then just keep any additions/modifications you make proprietary/not ever upgrade, try to fix security patches and things yourself. But that can become difficult, and if you find yourself actually tapping into the benefits of open source to be able to benefit from the collaborative work of thousands of coders, you're stuck having to trust lots of random people again. An old school finance firm could use R or Python, but a lot of them use SAS because you only have to qualify one provider, and if something goes wrong, you can sue them. You dont need to have programmers on staff to evaluate the codebase, you just need programmers that can use SAS. Newer forms and firms in less regulated industries are more comfortable breaking away from these to get the competive advantage of better tools, but it's not for everyone.
You could take this idea further...

Trap the undefined instructions, and dynamically replace them with a jump to emulation code if running on a little core.

Then let the OS and software folks do a systemwide profile to find out which bits of code most frequently run on which cores. Then configure the compiler not to output any instructions not available on the little cores for code which usually runs on the little cores.

Um, I'd criticize a C++ programmer who didn't know anything about the STL as well. Sure, you don't need to know the STL to write C++, but it's an odd decision. If you're going to use a tool, you have to learn it if you want the job done properly.

PHP is old and carries some cruft along with it for compatibility reasons (I suppose). When mysql_* was implemented, the world was a gentler place, and SQL injection wasn't really a thing (or at least, known to be a thing). What you're really complaining about there is "they didn't throw away the stuff that doesn't work well today". That's a decision I can see going either way.

[aside]
Having said that, the number of interviews I do where the candidate, poorly, attempts to write me code that implements what could have been done with std::vector is crushingly disappointing.

It should be completely transparent; unfortunately, there are way too many networks with firewalls configured to only allow known ports of known protocols, instead of following the design principle that only the end hosts should care about layers above IPv4 and IPv6. Since QUIC and HTTP/3 uses UDP instead of TCP, these firewalls will drop or reject the connection.

That is: any network that is capable of handling traditional HTTP is capable of handling HTTP/3, but many are explicitly configured to not do so.
Oh well - the damage is already done. To AWS. Not because Corey may know some stuff, but because any new recruit will scrutinize their employment offers from AWS for the non-compete clause and - given this precedent - deny it. It will certainly become more difficult for AWS / Amazon to hire true talent, especially from competitors. And I would be surprised if any industry insider would not have a clear perspective on what is going on at his competitors. Job postings, talks with salespeople from suppliers, local newspapers, discussions with industry analysts — the whole stuff a proper marketeer will do to be good at his role. And: Google will (as AWS) have a development roadmap that is probably well planned for the next 12-18 months. IMHO Corey would not be able to change the course of GCP and their marketing is certainly better than AWS. And don‘t even get me started on the different target audiences of both platforms... So in short: AWS made a big mistake but Corey will have to pay the lawyers.

One of the main value props for YouTube has to be discoverability right? Depends on why you're uploading I suppose.
Did you read it? Pretty ironic you are decrying nationalism when these comments from Rogozin came across as very nationalistic, effectively "you guys don't appreciate how much Russia has done for you – oh and by the way our rockets are still better than yours even though they are clearly not". There were also a lot of things that I found pretty petulant in tone. This one stood out to me:

> America is a very large country, and a large country should be benevolent and noble. However, some of my colleagues (not me, of course — I have no illusions about the partners after working as Russia’s representative to NATO) did not receive any words of gratitude or professional noble response, although they could fully count on that.

If that's not the kind of comment that discourages collaboration, I don't know what is. I mean it doesn't even make sense – what does a country's size have to do with "being noble"?
> You could try to calculate some numbers on savings or "wasted hours because the corporate support is slow and wont fix our problems fast enough" to turn their heads around.

If the UK universities are anything like the US universities this is near impossible to do. Maybe COVID has changed some things but when I worked in the university system (state run) it was more about who could woo what administrator. The amount of waste and nepotism would make your head spin.
correct.

Шt amazes me that people blame WPD for closedsource, but they themselves use shutup10 :facepalm:
Wow! So do high level employees have to sell shares to pay their mortgages and credit cards?

Everyone I know pins their lifestyle to base and saves near 100% of equity. Some don’t sell at all. I’m guessing that would change with a hard cap on base.

That’s a different kind of exposure, not just to long term performance, but day to day volatility, and specifically during open trading windows.
On the other hand, it might not be against the terms of service if you were to buy a sufficiently expensive symmetric fiber connection. At which point, you would then have become the ISP (with all of the hassle that would likely entail).
It's really cool, but my main takeaway from that video was multi-second input lag and you can see several times when he's dragging things around the computer doesn't do what he's expecting. It's a cool tech demo but I don't see how it's going to change the world like that.
In this case I can totally believe it’s innocuous. But as I said, it happens a lot. It happens on Firefox evangelism threads, Chrome bashing threads, DDG evangelism threads, Google bashing threads, etc. where a direct comparison is made. Imagine reading “hey C++ programmers, check out Rust, we have this amazing feature called zero cost abstractions!” over and over. Just really tiring.
Just to add color to that - Apple doesn't want external control of their semiconductors. They want to do their own thing starting with the mobile SOCs, then the secure enclave, then the M2 chip, and the GPU, and now mainstream high power processor. What Intel offers is orthogonal.
I've got 1gbps symmetric unmetered fiber here, and I really don't do much more than when I had 100mbps, or 50mbps.

What I really like is that everyone in the house can go crazy and it doesn't affect me working.
>How does the scheduler know which process will use CPU instructions that the small cores don't support?

I don't see that as required? If you catch the illegal instruction signal that CPUs throw you can just run it on the other CPU since the instruction counter would not have incremented. There's a delay in the catch and retry on the other CPU but i don't see the big deal here?
What are you organizing around Mr. Chief Architect? Your company does data visualization for financial firms. Financial firms that don't have a loss condition. How many extrapolations from reality is your business? At least 2, maybe 3, more? As long as the markets your pretty pictures represent can't take a loss - you're only justifying your undeserved opulence. Every bail out absolves people like you from their failure, and denies people like me a better opportunity to out perform you.

Have the labor classes of the U.S. seen any advancement in the last few decades? Are the advances the labor classes of other (US/India) even worthwhile given the lack of political bargaining power?

You economically depress local workers, and sell them on their freedoms and in then in the next breath you're politically oppressing foreign labor classes while selling them on their economic advances. Both are true, but you take the larger margin from both.

Perhaps he can convince the municipality to host for the providers he cannot, it will still serve his objective.

You would be surprised on how small some PoPs around the world are. Providers usually come with their own boxes and have specific requirements on space/power/legal ownership etc.
Wealthy, great architects make their fortunes on bespoke work. Even the plans they sell often have to be changed for each location - it's uncommon that the exact same building can be replicated in different locations over time, due to local planning constraints, preferences of their clients, new regulations, and so on.

Russia spends a sizeable amount on space exploration, but 80% of it is stolen or defrauded by corrupt officials like Rogozin. Putin is angry about the endless string of failures that result from this, but dares not to come down too hard on the culprits for fear of losing support.

This means that Russia will fade away as a space-power, replaced by China, which is quickly catching up with the West.

All Russia can do now is bragging and brawling about its successes and drawing up an endless number of plans which will never be realized
It's not so much the speeds that differ, but the micro-architecture. The big cores are typically out-of-order cores with a large amount of cache, to get as many instructions as possible per cycle. The SMALL cores are in-order cores with a small amount of cache. These have a lower IPC, but they also use much less energy per instruction compared to the big cores.
Yep, google, is a dumpster fire, DDG is my main search engine on mobile and I have not missed it. However, it's still far from optimal. We need a user-driven search engine! No more of this bullshit centralized searcher and censure, we need to flip the script on who gets to decide what kind of filters we want to see. Fuck Google.

On our (very small) team, our manager jokes about it constantly. Every day. It's a running joke. But we all get along and know he's 100 % joking and he is very protective of his team. So in our case I think it's fine.

So to your first point, I think the managerial relationship is complicated enough that it warrants thinking about it, anyway.

Keeping in mind, this guy was installing botnets while interfacing directly with some fairly active hacking communities.

He even says that his trophy book wasnt "everything" with the coy of someone who feels like they still have the edge.

It's easy to jump to a conclusion that he fully intended to use the botnet maliciously.
At an airshow, a mechanic told that a plane like the Fouga Magister (old two seat trainer with two really small jet engines, looks very graceful in the air in my opinion) is something that can be maintained by a single person. Don't know if that meant a full time job and how many flight hours per year etc.

Session variables are tied to user sessions (like name suggests), so they cannot be used to persist application state (e.g. cached content, compiled templates, metrics, etc.)
Your perception of the risks associated with providing that feedback isn’t the same as everyone else’s.

When you’re young, and especially if you come from a lower income background (where authority is treated as an absolute, and abuse of authority is generally more common and accepted), it can seem very risky and feel very unacceptable to give this kind of feedback to your manager.

It’s easy for me to agree with you now, but there are very different feelings about this across different backgrounds and cultures, and there are plenty of managers who would react harshly to this.
Serving pages to logged-in users is very costly to Wikimedia. Edits are even more costly.
That's a very interesting definition of a tech company and I think I have to agree with it, although I've always been very much "tech companies build tech".

The reality is the companies at the top right now all have EXCELLENT tech cultures, including one's you wouldn't have considered tech companies. An excellent tech culture is a form of operational excellence, which is how companies succeed. That's why all these companies are at the top and some big brand names in tech aren't necessarily at the top.

I know market cap is a very poor measure, but here:https://www.dogsofthedow.com/largest-companies-by-market-cap...

Who are the top companies? Each one of these not only understands their industry extremely well, but they generally speaking, having spectacular operational excellence.

IBM was a top company before. What happened? Why did it fall from grace? It's because they lost that motivation to maintain operational excellence. They just couldn't compete with the new companies who did pursue the better ways of doing things.

By some measure, every language has warts. PHP in 2008 had a ton of them. PHP in 2020 has fewer of them. Which is a lot like JS.

Telemetry doesn't aim to do this.
Can confirm, you just need to look at the networking APIs to see the same pattern.
The new API isn't ready yet but the HLAPI of UNet is already deprecated and even though LLAPI is getting deprecated later than originally anticipated there's no guarantee the replacement will be usable by that time.
At the moment your best bet for networking is to look for third-party solutions (Photon, etc...).

It's important to rehabilitate you in whatever way works best.

The way people get looked up in the US is known to be one of the worst approaches to rehabilitation, it's bad to a degree that it's making it more likely for you to commit crimes when you come out instead of less because you have become totally out of touch with socity and normal life.

You’ve convinced me never to use PHP if I can help it
I gotta say... PHP has grown so much and growing further in the right direction (with union types and async I/O).

At the speed of its improvements... it's kind of embarrassing other dynamic languages (I am looking at you Python, even though you are one of my favorites).
I suppose the keyboard needs to be attached to operate?

I use a Surface Book. I’ve been interested to discover that I would quite often like to have the keyboard continue to work after detaching the base, because when drawing on the device a keyboard is still useful for switching between tools, activating things, typing in precise values when necessary, &c. To be sure, a large part of this is just that I’m using apps that haven’t been optimised for keyboardless usage (I’m talking things like Krita, Inkscape, OpenToonz), but even if they were, a keyboard would still be useful. As it stands, I’d need to buy a second keyboard, one that worked by Bluetooth, to achieve this goal.

(In the particular case of the Surface Book, detaching the base isn’t quite as useful as you might imagine, because ¾ of the battery life is in it, so you’ll get ~3h at most, <2h if using it much.)
"I'm rubber, you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you"
The battery costs money too, so roll it into the denominator.

The other questions are perf/gram and perf/W (the latter matters more for temperature management if you’ve rolled batteries into the other two metrics)

They do say they’ve improved idle wattage by an order of magnitude. That’s good. (Imagine a laptop that stays on with the screen off for a week. Some idle cell phones can do that.)
Looks brilliant!
