NXP LPC is a big one. Most of the families have an external memory controller (EMC) block that can drive an external DRAM at a small multiple of the system clock frequency. The EMC init happens in the secondary boot, usually loaded from the small on-board flash or an offboard EEPROM.

I regularly use the 1788 + a meg or two of DRAM to hold an LCD framebuffer. The LPC has a really nice interconnect between EMC and the internal LCD controller block and will drive the display all on its own (with a hardware cursor) once it is initialized.
I get stuck on it as well, I'm probably wrong but to me "data" is the collective noun like "team" or "family". This is why I think it sounds wrong to use "Data are" when it is being used as the singular, eg the "data" being clear. If the data was unclear or split you would usually use something else to contextualize the difference. Eg, the time-series data disagrees with our event data.
Let me remind you that once upon a time a US company gave some email data to the authorities of China, the CEO of the company was sued in US and later resigned. That company was Yahoo!

No, these are false premises. All of my female partners have had the feedback from someone that "you're just like a guy".

> The real killer feature is not write efficiency, but the sequential write pattern, as opposed to the small random writes used by B-trees. On flash, this makes a significant difference for endurance.

Sequential writes with some degree of batching requests can add orders of magnitude to system throughput. I use a ringbuffer abstraction to serialize my writers and handle batches of up to 4096 transactions at a time. Everything in the batch gets compressed and written as 1 chunk to an append-only log. The benefits of processing multiple requests at a time are very hard to overstate. Saturating the write performance of virtually any storage device is trivial with this approach. It also carries back to magnetic storage really well, and even tape if you were so inclined to go down that path.

Julia Computing - Systems Programmer (Remote)

We are looking for somebody to help develop the Julia language runtime, libraries, and system interface. This work will have a direct impact on our goal of allowing users to write simple, high-level code and deploy their programs under a range of requirements. Possible areas of focus include performance engineering, I/O subsystem design, and tooling for building and modifying dynamic libraries. You will get to publish most of your work as open source, and many of the projects are already present in the julia code repository on GitHub.

Skils:

- Expert-level C programming is essential, and some C++ knowledge is a plus

- Knowledge of Linux internals

- Windows and macOS knowledge is a plus but not required

Ideally will have experience with topics such as:

- kernel development

- language runtime development

- debugging program faults

- benchmarking and performance analysis

- threading systems, particularly scheduling and synchronizing

- IO and networking theories (e.g. queueing and back-pressure)

- libc specifics and their quirks

- dynamic linkers and their quirks

- build systems

For more details and to apply, please see: https://jobs.juliacomputing.com/jobs/UeCcBYF-k4fp/systems-pr...
Even with hypothetical very high temperature superconductors we still want to run cryogenics to push the critical current higher. At some point mechanical stress would be the limiting factor but there is no path towards discovering such a miracle material. If one were to be discovered it would revolutionize our world.

For the foreseeable, we use HTS materials, that can superconduct at LN2 temperatures, with helium.
The last 2 minutes has a "walkaround". You can see some cracks near the door handle, guy opens the fuel filler cap and it's hilarously unpainted on the inside, and it's held closed using a cabinet door magnet.
> You know girls aren't taught to be engineers because relatively few engineers are women

No its clearly that there are few engineers who are women because we teach them they shouldn't be. You got it backwards. There is ample evidence of this.

> Accountants, by the way, are close to an even split on gender

Thank you for this example, by the way. I've never seen a single children's book on accounting, and its pretty even. I've seen lots on science, doctors, construction, nursing, etc. And they're pretty non-even careers.

> If girls are just reading sparkly books about princesses where do they get the idea to become accountants?

Because sparkly princess is not a job and most people need a job. We're not teaching anyone to be an accountant from a young age and people do it because it interests them. But when we teach only men to be engineers... we get a gender imbalance.

> Quick question: In which societies on Earth is this trend reversed?

This is a really weak argument. 1. There are plenty of matriarchal societies throughout history. 2. The identity of science as we see it in western society today is a relatively western idea that doesn't translate well historically. Euro-mediterranian history dominates our cultures idea of science, and that cultural history is male-leader dominated. Plenty of societies across the world had women do things, but we just learn about what happened in Europe (from men).

As you said in another comment, women outperform men at school, so why do they have lower confidence? That seems like a discrepancy that has a logical social explanation (they're told they don't belong, so they aren't confident in their work). Studies have proven this. Unless you think women are unconfident as a matter of biology? (studies have not proven this)

Aside, have you ever talked to a female engineer? MANY will tell you they were not pushed to be an engineer, and that they face sexism and were constantly told they're not supposed to be there. Many experience higher levels of criticism and mistrust over their work compared to male coworkers.
I feel like at least being allowed to state that things are as bad as they are (outside anonymous forums like this) would be a great step towards getting closer to solving things. Right now we're still in a state where we have to keep a faked optimism everywhere we go which is suffocating.
Being pressured to move out of your parents' home ASAP is largely an American phenomenon I think. Maybe parts of Europe as well?

In many parts of the world, the point where you are expected to (and socially pressured to) move out of your parents home is marriage. Of course there are exceptions, like moving to a faraway city for a job, etc.

Whereas I see many American youths bleeding away their income on rent and expenses while living 10 minutes away from their parents' home.

> but the inevitable moment (if you survive)

It's probably not inevitable. Simple is fast, and fast can scale you really far.

Sure, if you end up being google-scale then yeah, the world changes. But there's very few companies that large, yours is probably not growing to that size.

Over a decade ago I joined a mid-sized startup and took ownership of a service using MySQL. The first urgent warnings I was given was that they had to migrate to cassandra ASAP because soon MySQL couldn't possibly handle it.

I took a look at the traffic and the growth curve and projected customer adoption. And then put that project on hold, no need yet. Company went on to an IPO, grew a lot, pretty successful in its industry. And years later when I left, it was still going strong on MySQL with no hint of approaching any limitations.
I think this is unfortunately a common issue among those who leave the workforce to raise children; looking back, it certainly seems to match my mother's experience. I'm preparing to follow that path as well but hoping to keep up by doing small projects or piecework at home when I can.
This is such a weird take. You really don't need to be all that special or beautiful to find a partner, I've always been a stocky guy all my life and I never had a real issue finding sexual partners and now I'm happily married with kids.

Get yourself a personality, don't be weird, dress decently and talk to people. That's really all you need, no matter what you look like there's someone out there that's into it.

Don't overcomplicate simple things.
I was just pushing the pedantry forward ;)
Not just predicting, but driving. With the iPhone market share, Apple has been in a good seat to define what consumers expect from {generation+1} devices.

Which makes it a bit easier to acquire / pre-book the relevant manufacturing capacity, when you know you're going to make a surprise announcement of it as a major feature in the future.

After which, everyone else eventually ends up at the same upstream manufacturers, or trying to duplicate the technology...
Has more to do with innate economies of scale than any individual market abuse. Which isn't to say that there is some, but even if you stripped out the market abuse, Apple would still be fine.

Apple is a machine that is fueled by cross subsidizing new platforms (Apple Watch) with their already significant capital investments in the iPhone.
I call this the "did they do it or did they sit next to the person who did it" problem.

I find going into the technical details of projects on the candidates CV quickly sorts them out.
This shouldn't be a political issue. If viruses that kill millions are leaking out of labs, we need to know about it so that we can put a stop to it.

Nothing political about it.

Even if a lab leak doesn't turn out to be the cause, which I fully grant as a possibility, the censorship and political correctness of scientists, policy makers, and journalists are antithetical to the core scientific process and root cause analysis that would save lives and prevent future mishaps.
This is an interesting observation, because the next question should be whether they know the word exists or they just "feel like" it exists (see sibling comment about the Bouba/Kiki effect).

>> Among women with children under 18, 56% would prefer a “homemaker” role if they were “free” to do either: https://news.gallup.com/poll/186050/children-key-factor-wome.... Contrast with just 26% of men. 39% of women without kids would also prefer to stay home if they had the choice.

"Homemaker" does not mean "staying at home, doing whatever you want."
Two questions to ask your interviewer:

1. What - from all the things you have accomplished while working here so far - are you most proud of?

2. What did they do for the last social outing?

(Look for their face reaction as they answer the two questions. If they look surprised, or don't have a good answer, you may want to look elsewhere.)

And, if not already covered in the interview (which they really should):

- How technical is the CTO? Can/does s/he program? Ph.D. Degree?

- Who (name and function) does the group (my boss' boss) report to?

- What does the company do for training its people? Is there an annual budget?

- What is the attrition rate in the team?

- What is the career path anticipated for the role under discussion?

> What’s the biggest franchise at Netflix?

What the author fails to understand is that everyone has different tastes and that is what makes Netflix so formidable. It doesn't need the big showcase shows that Disney has.

The most popular shows on Netflix for 2021: Bridgerton, Lupin, The Witcher, Sex/Life, Stranger Things, Money Heist, Tiger King, Queens Gambit, Sweet Tooth and Emily In Paris. That is quite a diverse set of demographics that would be watching those shows.

And then you have the recent popularity of Korean shows e.g. Squid Game, All of Us Are Dead, Kingdom etc which Netflix is pioneering by bringing to Western audiences.

Netflix is far more multi-faceted and nuanced than it gets credit for.
For me it's experience in the industry. If you can see my work history, that I have >25 years in the industry, working for mid and large size companies, and lots and lots of startups, why do I need to do something like a 2-pointer / heap / etc kind of problem to prove I can code?

One of my favorite job offers was literally a conversation that played out like:
Manager: Cool, come to our office and meet the team
Me: Want me to prep for a tech challenge or something?

A 409a should be a true measure of the value of a company, but in reality it is something that can be manipulated. There is a balance between valuation for the purposes of funding and raising your stock value so high that it can impact hiring as a function of perceived upside. Getting wrong on the high side can effect the next round, devalue shares issued existing staff causing a repricing or the need to issue more shares to existing staff to keep them around.
Wine actually IS an emulator, just not the kind of emulator you think of. While wine is not an virtual machine, it literally emulates the win32 api.

I mentioned the shift of meaning to "virtual machine" in the post you replied to, please read it more carefully.

Emulation and Simulation are different in some regard: emulation is only imitating some aspect of a thing, while simulation imitates a thing by using (usually physical) models.

Does it matter? The presence of an office full of people in china means that there is an office full of people that can be exploited and controlled by the Chinese government.

Also, until recently they employed moderators in china, who by definition have access to customer data. So yes, the Chinese offices have/had access to customer data.
Ok, that's wicked. I guess I'm a kid at heart because I only looked at the pictures :)

Although looking at that render (erm, drawing) at the top it looks like a lot of the thrust of the rotor would be eliminated / redirected by the fuselage. It doesn't look like that later, so I guess that was more a visual effects decision than a design one.
My most recent auto purchase is approaching 20 years ago. At the time, a dealer option was to have a GPS installed. That would have cost well north of $1,000 and occupied most of the available glovebox space.

My reasoning in rejecting the option was:

- That's a lot of money, and a lot of maps.

- External hardware (a smartphone, laptop, or tablet) is far more likely to provide both that functionality and be independently upgradable.

Instead I opted for a standard mains electrical outlet, which has proved its worth in recharging (or powering) any electrical device, even before USB charging became prevalent.

I feel much the same way with entertainment systems.

A tuner by itself is compatible with an external device having a small FM transmitter dongle. With 3.5mm or 6.35mm audio connector, any line-in device can feed the audio system, with controls on that device used. Bluetooth pairing is somewhat more complex though mostly works. It's about the extreme level of intelligence I'd want, and I'd avoid it if at all possible.

The present level of complexity is a major regression.
Being overweight is overwhelmingly related to eating habits. As the sage advice goes: “you can’t outrun a bad diet”

You may have an argument with the absolute bullshit that people eat in our consumerist society but the fact of the matter is, if your calorie needs are 2000/day and you eat 14000 calories per week of grains, pulses, veg, fruit, meat, etc in the ‘right’ amounts, you’ll stay trim if you’re trim, you’ll stay fat if you’re fat, and any changes need you to adjust the calorie balance accordingly through eating more, eating less or exercising more.
There really are no other [sane] alternatives ... unless you want to go to 50 vendors to save 50 cents per user per year on licensing (and waste 50 hours a month of everyone's time trying to get them use tools that don't integrate in any understandable/low-friction manner)
The most important thing about all of this is the lack of relevance. Regardless of where the virus came from we have to deal with it anyway and it is certain that there will be more viruses including but not limited to coronaviruses spreading among humans. Being more careful with laboratory work and processes might be a start, but being truly ready for what we have every reason to expect means a lot more than that. Looking backward is not going to get us very far with this problem. We need to look forward and actually do the work to have processes, protective gear, and robust care systems in place.
For me, I'd use a platform like interviewing.io where you'll GET actionable feedback -- most companies won't give you feedback at all, other then "here's your offer" or "nah, thanks anyway"

I'm a bit excited! I wonder what easy means here; measuring the voltage, generating the 2D material film, keeping it at the right temprature. 10 megabits sounds sweet, but I believe you could get that from CPUs at least 10 years back. Hope they can make this small and energy efficient, time will tell!

Since then, I've moved all my services to the cloud. My home router is a TP-Link Archer C7 v2, which I chose mainly because it was well-supported by OpenWRT.

The last few years, I've been using routers from GL.iNet [1] when setting things up for friends and family. The factory firmware is OpenWRT, lightly modded with a simplified UI in front. The full OpenWRT Luci UI is still available behind an "Advanced" link.
