You've not given any reason why Intel will fend off AMD, Apple, Amazon, Nvidia etc.

And the market has exactly the same concerns as I do. Intel has a P/E ratio of less than 10 with strongly growing revenue and eps (even boring old IBM and Dell have much higher P/E ratios). Why? Because the market has no confidence it can sustain these earnings over the long term.

EDIT: From Motley Fool

> Once the head of the pack in computer processors, Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) is coming under serious attack in its core business. Rival big tech companies are opting to develop their own chips, with the latest being mighty Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). On Friday's news that Microsoft is doing the go-it-alone thing, Intel's stock fell by 6.3% on the day.
I feel like I post a link to this comment [1] every time the abstraction vs. DRY topic comes up, but it’s just such good advice. I consciously try to remember it whenever I’m programming.

> Dependencies (coupling) is an important concern to address, but it's only 1 of 4 criteria that I consider and it's not the most important one. I try to optimize my code around reducing state, coupling, complexity and code, in that order. I'm willing to add increased coupling if it makes my code more stateless. I'm willing to make it more complex if it reduces coupling. And I'm willing to duplicate code if it makes the code less complex. Only if it doesn't increase state, coupling or complexity do I dedup code.

> The reason I put stateless code as the highest priority is it's the easiest to reason about. Stateless logic functions the same whether run normally, in parallel or distributed. It's the easiest to test, since it requires very little setup code. And it's the easiest to scale up, since you just run another copy of it. Once you introduce state, your life gets significantly harder.

> I think the reason that novice programmers optimize around code reduction is that it's the easiest of the 4 to spot. The other 3 are much more subtle and subjective and so will require greater experience to spot. But learning those priorities, in that order, has made me a significantly better developer.

Dan Abramov also has a good talk about this [2].

Perhaps instead of a placebo, try a healing ritual or some form of alternative medicine.

Browser-based paperwallet generators are not necessarily a bad thing. App-based is not necessarily a good thing (apps can leak data too).
Best approach would be: disconnect LAN -> boot you computer from a live-CD -> don't connect the computer to the internet -> get the browser or app based generator via usb-stick -> generate the paper wallet and print it -> shut down the computer, don't save anything.
Here you go, not even this is safe if the app generate predictable addresses (this already happend by accident).
Maybe put 0,0001btc on the wallet and wait a few weeks and look if they vanish?
I think at some point you have to read and inform yourself. Maybe you find someone you can trust.
A 15 second internet search and a quick printout of a paperwallet is not the best way to deal with your money.

> Warnings against premature optimization suggest a two-pass strategy, where in the first pass you avoid trading increased performance for increased labor, and then in the second pass you do whatever is needed to make the performance good enough.

No. The argument against premature optimization is not about labor vs. performance tradeoffs (but about correctness and maintainability vs. performance tradeoffs), nor is it about the entire code base, but about non-critical elements.

Quoth Knuth: “Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%.”

Thinking about and designing for broad performance concerns even though it adds to initial implementation time is not against the adage; it’s when you are compromising clarity and ability to reason about the code to shave off microseconds on a path without a clear reason to believe that its going to be hit often enough that those microseconds matter in the big picture that you are engaging in premature optimization of the type targeted by the expression.

EDIT:

> I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to call a development paradigm that causes software to never get faster even as hardware improves “writing slow programs on purpose.”

If that is its explicit intent, sure; if it is a side effect, no. In any case, blaming such a paradigm on the adage against premature optimization is misplaced.
Thank you for the really interesting details, but I decided not to take risks but to contact professionals immediately who can help me solve the problem of slides for presentations https://slidepeak.com . You need to be as imaginative as possible because it would be very important for a student to have a term paper that the company impresses the investor, and it would be reasonable to order ppt slides to get the assistance you need. I did this and thanked the competent team that supported me with it. I hope that the importance of the presentation for you is just as useful to you and above all, important cases should be ordered for sure.

The bookbinding in this website is far more advanced than what I typically need.

I usually print out technical documents (and sometimes even code). I bind them with either:

* Staples -- For when I don't care. Staples are the lowest quality by far and are only used if I'm disposing of the document very soon.

* 2-hole + prong fastener -- 2-hole binding is extremely cheap. Prong fasteners are not as cheap as staples, but still come in packs of ~100+ and solidly bind documents.

* Comb-binder -- The comb binding machine is on the order of ~$100+, but combs themselves are only a ~dime each. Not as cheap as staples or 2-hole prongs, but combs have the best quality (lays flat, strong binding, turns smoothly, etc. etc.)

----------

What's listed here is book-binding as an art. Stitched binding + glue will offer strong and beautiful books. Which is certainly useful for one-off projects, for weddings or something special like that.

Think of it less as "I need to get out of data science" and more "I want to get into X". Because the answer is going to be pretty different about how to get into, say, systems engineering or project management.

If you are good enough at software engineering to do a generic software engineering job, then I suggest applying to one of those in the standard way. It is much easier to get into all of those areas once you have some software engineering experience.

If you are not good enough to get a different job right now that would satisfy you, then I suggest talking to your current employer about moving your responsibilities in a different direction.

I definitely don't have the best or ideal setup, but I keep things pretty simple. My blog's "CMS" under the hood is a single flat directory of markdown files. Each post is a markdown file, and I use Hugo (gohugo.io) to build a static site out of it and statically host it. I don't really use tags or hierarchies, even though Hugo supports it.

My site isn't open source (b/c unfinished content) but in case it's helpful, it's based on this Hugo template project - https://github.com/thesephist/carlisle

RAM is probably one of most the underrated things in the world at the moment. Anyone who are remotely familiar with how OS works would definitely get as much RAM as possible. Virtually it's like the cash of the virtual world (pardon the pun), the more you have the better you are.

Having said that, according to the article "Intel’s Disruption is Now Complete" discussed in HN before, Intel's lowest end of Celeron CPU line was introduced just to delay the inevitable [1][2]. But what the article did not mention is that Intel purposely crippled its low end CPU with the minimum amount of RAM. Until very recently the most RAM you can get with Celeron based processors is only a few GBs. However, perhaps due to the competition of AMD and other ARM based manufacturers, Intel has done the unthinkable and with the latest Gold processor series (11th Gen) you can have up to 128GB of RAM [3][4]. FYI, the Gold processor series is conveniently placed in between the Core and Celeron back in 2016 and essentially it's a beefed up Celeron. Not only that, it can now supports Optane, a new Intel's proprietary non-volatile or persistent memory technology that can provide its lower end CPUs with potentially more than TB of working memory [5]. Imagine using a tablet/PC/home server in the year 2021 having an equivalent of humongous terabytes of RAM!

Typing Delay Experiment
It was a good "training pandemic". Some countries did quite well (Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, New Zealand, etc.) and some countries did poorly (the US, Brazil, parts of Europe). Overall, being able to develop and deploy a vaccine within a calendar year seems like a success. Though a lack of inexpensive, quick, home administered tests seems like kind of a failure - they exist, but they haven't been backed by governments to the point where they can be manufactured in large numbers.
Well, although I was hoping I wouldn't see anything too bad, it's also somewhat not surprising. I think any new discussion site will have to deal with it at some point. This is the mvp release so it is still lacking many features, but it will be addressed.
> Ironically, a disease with a much higher case fatality rate probably would’ve killed fewer Americans, since we’d be more aligned on stopping it

Not unless it was much higher, like 10% whole population fatality might do it but merely twice as much death wouldn't move the needle.

It's because of one of the most literal examples of survivorship bias. No living people have ever died as a result of taking some particular obviously unsafe shortcut, so they can rationalise it as OK, even though intellectually they know it's a very bad idea. Each time this unsafe shortcut kills somebody, all the living people still have no experience of dying from that shortcut because the one person who experienced the other outcome is now dead.

Close calls can help a little bit, gradually, but the effect is slow and unevenly distributed.

> it would have a greater tendency to burn itself out.

One reason I particularly point at elimination strategy (beyond the, in my opinion obviously related fact that it worked) is that zero cases has a categorically different impact than merely low numbers of cases that result from hoping a lower R-number will cause it to "burn itself out". You get to zero only one case at a time, tracking and tracing everything, getting right into the details, whereas these vague statistical approaches do not do that.

Lots of countries or regions have tried to "flatten the curve" but that's not actually a way out, it's just to buy time. Now, in this case if you bought enough time (maybe 18-24 months) you get a vaccine. But not all diseases are like that, and we could not be confident this was one.

Getting to zero is instead a (painful) permanent fix that allows you to really open up (within the country or region at zero). New Zealand's international tourist economy got a kick in the head, but its people are alive, much of everyday life is already how a lot of us in the North are hoping 2021 will be - its message this summer is "Make summer unstoppable" with small adjustments like wearing a mask on the plane, or tracking where you visited with QR code scanners - but otherwise a pretty normal vacation season, concerts, sports events and so on.
> The short answer is that they gambled and they lost.

I think that answers my question, which was:

Has anyone said why they didnt delay just the ps4/xbone versions? I assume some kind of contracts, but would have been cheaper to break the contract than to release a broken game. Probably would have been cheaper to delay all versions(smaller stock hit + salaries) if reports of losses are true.

So did they see their game (that was so broken that friendly outlets went out of their way to say "DO NOT BUY") and think "we can take this gamble"?

Fair enough. Fortunately, if you don't like me, you're welcome to take my code, and hire someone else to host it for you. There's a whole ecosystem of folks who will do that for you too, and quite a few of them are quite competent. Most of what I do is 100% pure free software.

I used to do business-on-a-handshake too. Nowadays, I don't try to "lock [customers] in with contracts," but I do "spend a lot of time carefully studying everything" to make sure things are guaranteed fair to both sides. I'd advise the same, but until you've been down that road once or twice, I suspect you're right that we might not get along. I was there too at one point.

The business-on-a-handshake crowd is a mixture of honest people and con artists. I was told by more seasoned mentors that good contracts make good partnerships, and now I believe that philosophy.
