> People seem to love to hate it because it's the "cool" thing to do.

While I agree with this, I think the tone is slightly dismissive. From what I have seen, older people in our trade seem to recommend against PHP due to it having a terrible relationship with consistency, functionality, performance, etc. in its history. Though I have (thankfully) seen that the language and its standard library has undergone several large improvements, which is great to hear.

> Yet PHP developers continue to ship things faster, while JS devs are probably still fiddling with their Node environment setup...

On your point of JavaScript, the build environment nonsense can definitely get hairy. It's why we get things like Deno, which attempt to throw all this cruft away and start again. And sometimes that's a good idea. If you're dedicated to Node, replacing Webpack with Rollup seems to be what is generally recommended. The only obvious disadvantage there is compatibility with Webpack plugins.

It would be nice to have a type-checked JavaScript variant with a practically non-existent build environment (no Webpack, Rollup, etc.) As much as I adore TypeScript, the compiler itself is massive and takes quite a long time to even start.
You left out many steps there, all of which will charge you fees. Try again.

Go from actual money from the sender, to actual money for the receiver. Sum up the fees.

??

> [...] somehow delay their competitors from launching new and better chips while Apple scrambles to find new talents in the limited pool available.

Nonsense, Apple buying capacity because they actually need to manufacture that much stuff. Anything else would be completely idiotic.

> Apple has bet their future on Apple Silicon, and it badly needs to retain a lead on other competing CPU for a year or two, to capture sufficient market share (the perception of Apple Silicon leading over other CPUs is very important for this).

Share of what market are they supposedly wanting to capture? Share of PCs in general? They care about share of premium devices, where they are very well represented.

Share of Macs themselves? That'll solve itself, since Apple won't be offering non-Apple Silicon Macs at some close point in the future.

> TSMC also seems to be taking a big gamble, pissing of existing good clients.

They take the offer with the most money attached, no one's (neither AMD nor Qualcom) surprised by that.

Retailers will still not buy directly from manufacturers because they can buy things from multiple manufacturers in a single shipment from Reliance instead of dealing with individual manufacturers and incurring transportation costs per manufacturer.

That apart, Reliance will extend offers to retailers based on the overall value of the order - rather than per manufacturer.

This is the same reason people buy a range of items from sites like Amazon while they could buy individual items directly from some sites which deals with only specific product categories.
> Oversight of cash expensing is a basic financial control.

Well, yes. Clearly.

However, point being, that time and time again, for a Personal Assistant who does home/personal life related tasks (not an EA who is work-related duties), the oversight frequently gets overlooked. Lines get blurred and oversight is lacking. Hence by PAs are often prone to fraud.

The CEO of Goldman Sachs had his PA steal over $1.5 million from him before anyone noticed. The Gearbox CEO also has his PA steal $3 million. There are tons of stories like this.

How about we play a game where you make a list of mathematical objects which are continuous, and I make a list of ones that aren't.

I'll start with sets and you can start with the real numbers, and we'll see whose list is longer.

To a certain degree the whole game is nonsense, there's a countable infinity of axioms and a countable infinity of theorems that follow therefrom, so we're never going to get anywhere rigorous with this, but just like it's not unreasonable to say that there are more multiples of 2 than there are of 2000, I think it's fair to say that continuity games on the reals represents a relatively small share when compared to mathematics in general.

If everyone had access to cutting edge processes, Apple silicon would be behind. They're not even cleanly ahead despite a generation leap in RAM and in processes in CPUs and they're still behind in GPU performance per watt compared to NVidia on 8nm. If Apple wants to lead in performance they can't allow NVidia and AMD to be on the same process. They would even risk Qualcomm chips catching up.

Apple has a long history of buying their suppliers a production line in return for guaranteed production levels, going back to the start of the Tim Cook era.

An early example.

A more recent example.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-corning/apple-award...

If you go back to the time when Apple was looking at single sourcing all their SOC production at TSMC, you'll see TSMC's CEO publicly saying it would make sense to dedicate a Fab to a single customer.

>The world's leading foundry chip maker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. is considering operating single-customer wafer fabs, according to chairman and CEO Morris Chang.

"I think that they are going to be larger customers, and now it makes complete sense to dedicate a whole fab to just one customer and hold that – to hold fabs in fact to just one customer."

https://web.archive.org/web/20120728040723/https://www.eetim...

I think the reason that Apple is always first in line at TSMC is that they bought TSMC a Fab.
> Please, do not try to be smart about these things.

There must be some sort of sales benefit to it, otherwise websites wouldn't be doing it. I'm guessing the main advantage is when it gets the currency right, it's easier to buy the product.
Samsung S21 beats iPhone 13 in performance (!!!) despite using a less advanced semiconductor technology (not TSMC) and being an older smartphone:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MxC6eVjPFQ

So, Apple CPUs are not that great at the end.

By the way, the guy on the video forgot to turn off power saving mode on S21 (-> less performance) and S21 still beat iPhone...
I would like to see evidence, that people were pushed into the factories. I was under the impression, that many went into the factories, because working in agriculture was not easy, as machines were not common.

And once factories were there, humans improved working conditions there. While in agriculture, well, way more difficult to do, as the work had to be done.
Tribalism is a huge factor in the popularity of course.

It's interesting, growing up, I had friends with a hobby for supporting particular footbal teams in my city. And of course rival team supporters couldn't really be friends, to the point of full out violence between rivals being an every day thing. I always asked them why is that, because except for the color of their scarf they fit the exact same personality pattern - they all would explain it from a mythological history of tribalism point of view that did not make much sense to me at the time.
I'm not sure. However I made the mistake of worrying about 51% attacks for ages, and they've proven to be a bit of a red herring.

Basically running a 51% attack would fundamentally devalue the entire blockchain due to loss of trust, so I don't think anyone has committed one on a blockchain with good valuation and decent number of nodes.

It's cryptoeconomics/game theory - what use is there to rob a bank if it then leads to hyperinflation? So it hasn't happened, to my knowledge, in any major chain.
Fish is not a company, either. Also, competing standards is not an example of EEE.
Presenting such converted prices (without saying “this is an approximation”) also requires that you lock in the price in that currency indefinitely (which is possible, but I’d be surprised), or else you’re lying to your customers about the price.

I can’t find any plausible correlation between the prices it’s presenting me (AUD745.40 billed annually for the business plan) and any base currency. The Individual-to-Business ratio suggests 9 and 39 units of currency per month, but which that would be, I don’t know. “Includes VAT” makes the whole thing a mess; European VAT is inapplicable in Australia, though if they do enough business here they should register for GST (and the procedure for skipping that taax is different, too: in Europe the buyer gives the seller their VAT ID and the seller removes the VAT charge, but in Australia the seller charges GST and business clients can claim it back from the Tax Office in their Business Activity Statement).

Making this worse, the page source has a JSON-LD block listing an aggregate price range of USD9–49, which I’m pretty sure is just flat-out wrong.

I recall in my highschool the math and physics (both were mandatory) teachers explicitly coordinated so that the derivatives and other relations were taught right before they got applied in physics. There are much simpler examples than capacitors and nuclear decay, you can explain all aspects of physics (starting with basic mechanics, position/speed/acceleration) simpler if you can rely on calculus.

We think it hasn't happened. And yet, the likelihood of talking to a CX rep from a Fortune 500 company who is based in the US is very low. Did that somehow help the US-based CX reps?

Perhaps you're thinking that it will be different with knowledge workers. Consider the well-publicized fact that a lot of Boeing software is written in India. How many other corporations are following suit behind the scenes?

Actually, the RT_PREEMPT stuff gives you worst-case blips around the 100-300 microsecond mark, and if it's just audio with remotely tolerant handling of buffer under/overrun, you can ignore those and use the more normal latency ceiling around 20-50 microseconds.

Note: 192 kHz is 5.2 microseconds/sample, 48 kHz is 20.8 microseconds/sample. The 15 cm distance between the ears takes around 100 microseconds to traverse (at the higher speed-of-sound in the head, vs. free-air).
The 1m distance of air for close-by human 1:1 talking takes a full 3 milliseconds to traverse.

There is a non-profit [0] with hard-realtime applications (including CNC) that runs a few racks of systems with latency monitoring.
For example, the blue rack3slot0 line [1] is a histogram for an almost-standard distribution kernel on an IvyBridge Xeon-E3 running a thread with timer interrupts every 200 microseconds for about 5.5 hours (100 M times, specifically), and recording the latency of that interrupt.
As one can see, there were about 20 at-or-above 20 microsecond delay, and even then just barely over.
With remotely decent under/overrun hiding, 10 microsecond latency should be easily usable.
And yes, those systems had background load at normal priority and this realtime thread at high priority:

> Between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. and between 7 p.m. and 1 a.m., a simulated application scenario is running using cyclictest at priority 99 with a cycle interval of 200 µs and a user program at normal priority that creates burst loads of memory, filesystem and network accesses. The particular cyclictest command is specified in every system's profile referenced above and on the next page. The load generator results in an average CPU load of 0.2 and a network bandwidth of about 8 Mb/s per system.

You now have a shitty job!

I enjoy sysadmin, partly because of the variety of problems you are called-on to solve. But the fact is, if you do the job well, and everything works well, nobody gives you any credit. When things go wrong everybody will be looking at you, and if you haven't fixed it within 20 minutes, then you must be incompetent.

So you're the only sysadmin in a multi-campus company? As someone noted up-thread, you can't do it alone. At least, you need someone on each site that can act as remote hands for you, even if that's not their main job. And you need people to delegate grunt work to - repetitive stuff, like building workstations for new hires. That's IT, but it's not sysadmin.

Get some interesting hardware to take home and play with. Stuff like smart switches and firewall boxes (the same gear your employer uses).

GNU/Linux has much better networking tools than Windows; if you're in a Windows shop, get a laptop with Linux on it.

Whenever you do a manual job you've never done before, let part of the job be automating it, so you never have to do it by hand again. Let the automation scripts be the documentation.

Learn to be pessimistic (a common sysadmin trait). If you have bad news, don't ever sugar-coat it. Things might not be as bad as you thought, in which case your reputation is improved. But what people don't want to hear is that the job takes two hours; and then find after two hours that it's a two-day job.

If you can get yourself a full-time assistant/colleague, work as a pair when you can. It reduces stress a lot if you have someone checking your work as you do it (and your decisions). And you end up with two people knowing the systems, not just one.

Get a hardback A4 notebook, and record everything you do.

In theory, you have a lot of power (c.f. BOFH).

http://bofharchive.com/

You know stuff others don't, and you have superuser powers everywhere. Don't abuse it. Be as helpful as you can. People will be nice to you if they know they might need your help one day. The BOFH was a tyrant, and I don't think he'd get far in a modern business (the BOFH worked in a university IT department, and was God; a sysadmin in a modern business can't behave like the BOFH).*

Do you mean all the introductory mathematics books you tried fail to properly explain the notation ?

Or that the notation differs from books to books ?

(In my case, I learned the notation via French math textbooks, and in the first day of college/uni we litteraly went back to "There is a set of things called natural numbers, and we call this set N, and there is this one thing called 0, and there is a notion of successor, and if you keep taking the successor it's called '+', and..." etc..

But then, the French, Bourbaki-style of teaching math is veeeeeeeery strict on notations.
I learned it by asking peers in grad school what stuff meant. And working through the math myself (it was a slog at first) and then writing stuff out it in LaTeX. When one is forced to learn something because one needs to take courses and to graduate, the human brain someone figures out a way.

A lot of it is convention, so you do need a social approach - ie asking others in your field. For me it was my peers, but these days there’s Math stack exchange, google, and math forums. Also, first few chapters of an intro Real Analysis text is usually a good primer to most common math notation.

When I started grad school I didn’t know many math social norms, like the unstated one that vectors (say x) were usually in column form by convention unless otherwise stated (in undergrad calc and physics, vectors we’re usually in row form). I spent a lot of time being stymied by why matrix and vector sizes were wrong and why x’ A x worked. Or that the dot product was x’x (in undergrad it was x.x). It sounds like I lacked preparation but the reality was no one told me these things in undergrad. (I should also note that I was not a math major; the engineering curriculum didn’t expose me much to advanced math notation. Math majors will probably have a different experience.)
> If you're TSMC, who are you going to favour - the large single customer who's guaranteeing order size over a period of time, or several smaller customers?

This depends on your business strategy: having a single or few customers makes you much more dependent on their whims and their negotiation power. If you have more customers you are in a better position for pricing negotiations.

You'd be surprised. You can almost _always_ sell excess supply given enough time. These parts... take up very little space. Even if it has to sit in a warehouse for 5 years eventually someone will buy them and while they may not break even, they'll get close.
I think good first resource would be the book and lecture notes in an introductory university course treating the specific domain you are interested in because often lots of things in notation are domain specific. Lots of good open university lectures out there, if not sure from where to start the MIT open courseware used to be a good first guess for accessing materials.

As a sidenote I have MSc in Physics with a good dollop of maths involved and I am quite clueless when looking at a new domain so it's not as if university degree in non-related subject would be of any help...

If you want to experience something really radically different from the rest of 21st century computing, try RISC OS on one of them.

https://www.riscosdev.com/projects/

RISC OS is the original native OS for the ARM chip. It's still alive, actively maintained and developed, and it's FOSS now. It's a 1980s OS that predates NeXTstep and Windows 3, let alone Linux, which means a unique (but very effective and elegant) GUI, and a shell, that are totally unlike anything else you've ever seen.

It's a 35 year old OS. Don't expect miracles. It doesn't support wifi or multiple cores, but it's very very fast and responsive on a single core of a RasPi, and there is a big software library with hundreds of freeware titles and some commercial stuff too.
