Here (France, and my original country, Italy) costs are complicated to judge: in mere raw materials the cost is far lower for new wood frame houses, but in term of final price is significantly higher, partially because they are a relatively new concept in south/central EU and partially because most enterprise are small ones who do not work much in "modern" terms than in their own workers experience and so they need external enterprises to design and test stuff like windows design for passive heating from the Sun, how much cover windows for avoid Sun when climate is hot, how to design low-inertia heating with heat pumps, Canadian well, dimension a solar p.v./aerovoltaic/* systems etc and while those systems are technologically simple they are sold at higher prices for what they are for similar reasons.

The lack of mean awareness and expectations probably permit high prices. In cost terms what I can say is essentially: more initial capex, far reduced opex IF anything is well done. Seen inflation capex/opex ratio means reduced TCO if you buy to stay for years and years at least, resale value so far is a bit crazy for the already described reasons...
This isn't true. Check Japan with its near zero growth. Nothing about capitalism suggests you can't have a steady state economy.

Of course, if you want the latest health care advances, new housing and other things, that costs more money, so growth helps pay for those things that otherwise would be unaffordable.

I think the Silicon Valley area has really skewed expectations of salary (and of course living expenses!). Familiarity with codebase is a problem indeed, but they could start setting up a hub somewhere in Europe.

I think part of the problem is that when they incorporated Mozilla they started thinking as a corporation. Multi-million-dollar-paid CEOs, top-heavy with marketing etc. They should have stayed nonprofit IMO.
I wonder where forths sit on that spectrum.
We recently built a product that utilizes FTDI chips for i2c/gpio/jtag/spi/swd-protocol support. My dev kits and bench setup uses the Adafruit FTDI breakout boards (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2264) to connect to various other circuitry. The driver and even the communication protocols are documented and open source (e.g. OpenOCD implemented their own based on the USB packets).
The breakout board doesn't have 40-50 GPIO pins an RPI has, but you can hook multiple of these breakout boards to a computer. I am using 4 breakout boards with one ARM SBC each as targets, with no problems on an Intel NUC. And they are much smaller and easier to get than a RPi.

Besides the FT232H, there are larger FTDI chips with more channels. I am uncertain if one can find USB breakout boards for them, though.

I think everyone’s advice here is good, I also want to throw on your radar that with your background you can also try targeting Applied Scientist roles instead of Data Science directly e.g. https://www.amazon.jobs/en/landing_pages/ops-tech-applied-sc...

Generally the highest value for your background will be Python (do a bit of leetcode), Pandas and Sklearn. PyTorch would also compliment your existing skill set.

A lot of the other stuff you can just learn on the job like cloud, dev ops etc. it all differs by where you work. It’s also the shiniest stuff that you can get distracted by and waste time on for less value.
It was 18 months between launch of the Switch and of NSO, so we can split the difference :)

Nice I suppose these were the pointers given to you by your PR team? What prompted (2) after all this time, considering there are previous instances of HackerRank acting hostile?
> as I have the results delivered

And how do you define the results ? What if the employee gradually slows downs working like one hour less per week every month, in a year they can go from 40 hours per week into 28 hours per week with normal work expectations.

And that wouldn't necessarily be a "bad employee trying to get more from you by doing less". For example, maybe your team performance is getting worse. Let's say you have a coworker that is sick and gets normal pay for less quality work, and another coworker that just got a baby and got less time for work. The teams got less focused on work gradually in time and the employee feels "entitled" to work less on you and do something else with his/her time

As a comparison, the latest French high-speed track that opened in 2016 was built for 5 billion euros (5.4 billion dollars) for 400 km.

The Californian track being twice as long, how the heck did it end up costing ten (10!) times as much??

> This isn't remotely true. Most of Chromium code is BSD-3-Clause.

Yes, because when Apple forked KHTML they made the _least amount_ possible open source and when they faced public pressure and were criticised (note unlike Google - Apple doesn't really have a big business incentive to keep their browser open source anyway) they open sourced the parts that are/were outside WebCore and JavaScriptCore as BSD. Hardly benevolence.

> I'm not a fan of that either, but to be fair it's a Chrome extension[1], not part of Chrome.

That's true - it's also true for other parts of the codebase. I see your point about video codecs, drm and a bunch of other stuff and Google _does_ benefit from the fact companies like Igalia filled with ex-Googlers can contribute significantly to Chromium.

I think it's important to make a distinction here between the engineers "with boots on the ground" - many of them care deeply about the internet and chromium being open and about working on an open source project and the people higher up making the more strategic decisions.

It's also worth mentioning Chromiums is very much a "closed club" with a different (harder) contribution model, builds and meta-builds that work well only if you work for a large-co (otherwise it's built on your machine and takes hours) and it's very unreachable if you're not "in the know" compared to other projects. I don't think that part is malevolence though I just think making an open source project more open is hard.
The pot pictured in the article has similar branding to the UK product - so South Africa is UK-aligned on this rather than Aus/NZ-aligned (or independent)?

Being from the UK I'm fondest of the home version, and especially for its unhelpfully runny texture. Vegemite is pretty nice but the stuff called Marmite that I met in New Zealand, which I guess would be the same as your Australian one, is a bit weak next to either of the others.
A great distinction and way to think about your work.

However, I would prefer server side rendering as the best thing to do in all cases, because, while user state may be complex in webapp, it can be easily handled securely in a server side environment.

More so, until the ecosystem around webassembly becomes more mature, the choice of languages and frameworks on the server side are far more than what is available on the client side.

Thinking and architecting apps that render on the server is much easier than client apps.

Also, client apps are slow and laggy. It takes a lot of effort to make them work well, effort that could be used to improve bottomline otherwise.
> current implementations inconvenience the user

The scummy business model used by advertisers is to deliberately make it inconvenient to opt out of their tracking.

All that is needed by GDPR is a simple 'tick yes' to opt in to tracking if you wish to be tracked or personally identified. (No need to ask permission for 'ordinary' cookies).

You should ask yourself why you are doing business with companies with such as shady business model.
> The paper goes on with "Before bottling, the whisky is diluted to around 40 vol-% by the addition of water". It wasn't in my quote, but the paper completely disregards whisky bottled at higher ABV%. Something I think is important when talking about dilution.

But my point is that whisky that is bottled at significantly higher proofs (remember the article says "about 40%" (emphasis mine) thus acknowledging there is already room for variation) are sold as "cask strength". This is a point you also make yourself. Thus the article is correct in the general sense.

> I said "becoming increasingly rare", which I stand by.

Which still contains the term "rare" which is a gross exaggeration of the actual market (and which was the point I was making and stand by).

I'm a massive whisky enthusiast too but I think you're analysis here is, at best, unfair. At worst you simply come off as if you're trying to flex some kind of intellectual superiority by arguing pedantic nitpicks. Sure the study is written to cover the lowest common denominator of whiskies but the key here is that it's still the common denominator and what you're arguing are lesser common edge cases. The study doesn't claim that edge cases doesn't exist even if it's only interested in the most common cases.
Yes. But when AMP came out Google gave preferential treatment to amp pages. And if you're in the news business, when Google says "jump" you do so.
We have benchmarks in our roadmap, we understand there are required.
I remember going to a PyData conference in... 2011 (maybe off by a year or two)... and one of the presenters making the point that if your data was less than about 10-100TB range, you were almost certainly better off running your code in a tight loop on one beefy server than trying to use Hadoop or a similar MapReduce cluster approach. He said that when he got a job, he'd often start by writing up the generic MapReduce code (one of the advantages is that it tends to be very simple to implement), starting the job running, and then writing a dedicated tight loop version while it ran. He almost always finished implementing the optimized version, got it loaded onto a server, and completed the analysis long before the MapReduce job had finished. The MapReduce implementation was just there as "insurance" if, eg, he hit 5pm on Friday without his optimized version quite done, he could go home and the MR job might just finish over the weekend.
Those librarians are sickos, man.
I don't have a question, but I wanted to let you know that you can enumerate processes and threads via NtQuerySystemInformation instead of CreateToolhelp32Snapshot, and it's much faster. The latter is slow only due to weird file section mapping behavior and not due to the actual query.
Oh! you're right. Such approach though would easily allow the cost to continue balloon, and $200B by 2027 don't look unimaginable.
The French build their high-speed track at 1/10th of the cost. So no, the problem is not the government. The latest track over there cost 5.4 billion dollars for 250 miles of track.
Computer software seems to go through phases of complexity. It starts out simple, then people add necessary features until eventually someone thinks it is too complex and builds a simple version, which then starts along the same path to complexity. This happens to programming languages and operating systems as well as apps. Part of the desire for simplicity seems to be younger programmers who don't like dealing with all that complexity and all the "poor decisions" made by past programmers (the oldsters). It was once thought that computer programming would become mature and we'd be re-using lots of code. Instead copy-paste is now considered code re-use, API's get deprecated, and there is endless churn and reinvention, a lot of which eventually also gets tossed. Maybe every generation of programmers likes to do things differently and choose their own variable names, etc.? I think we'll know that programming has become mature when there is no longer a need to create new versions of compilers. Or maybe the reinvention is necessary as a way to learn how things actually work? In practice it feels like being stuck in a time loop, I've seen it happen so many times.
You want to buy them. And maybe you will, if the price is low enough. But that does not mean that the process is commercially viable. I doubt enough people would care.
I’ve made arguments both ways in the past but after decades I’ve started leaning towards “80% automated”.

The idea is to get to the point that you can tear down everything and rebuild it in an hour or so. This doesn’t need 100% automation, which can be cost-prohibitive as you’ve mentioned.

The cost benefit of partial automation is that it enables rapid iteration of things like naming conventions, container hierarchies, build order, and demarcations of when things are done.

I’m working right now on an Azure template for two(!) VMs. I could deploy these by hand in an hour. Instead I’m reusing snippets from a previous project that in turn reused snippets from another.

This lets me get “for free” all of the lessons-learned from those projects: The fiddly monitoring setup. The safety locks. Purge protection. Log archival.

The customer isn’t even sure what they want! I’ll probably have to iterate and redeploy this several times before the solution congeals. With a template this takes mere minutes per iteration.

So the lesson here is that it’s not about then final scale, but about the scale of the workflow required to finalise the entire solution end-to-end.
It's too expensive for me. The facts you produce look very good tho.

It would help if they didn't increase the board and leadership compensation and spend loads of money on social justice projects whilst at the same time cutting on development as their footprint on the browser market keeps shrinking.

Sure it's probably not going to make it but they're still not things they can sensibly afford to do.
> You could not build anything like them in modern day.

You can not build it in the USA. London is about to open the newly built Elizabeth line, which cuts through the city with 60 miles of tunnels. Modern Metro/Subway infrastructure can be built in densely populated areas like Chicago and NYC. It's a political issue, not an engineering one.

You are correct that people have the freedom to live in imaginary la-la fantasy land if they so wish.

But the rest of us also have the freedom to call them out on it.

The scientific method is a tool to reveal truth about reality. And no matter how much people believing in devine revelation want to claim otherwise, it is the only such tool humanity possess. People are free to ignore reality at their own peril.

Turning science into an "-ism", is just a deflection aimed at destroying dialogue, it is an attempt at nullifying objectivity. If everything is an opinion, I have mine and you have yours, and all oppinions are equal, dialogue is impossible and the only thing left is tribal warfare.
If you're keen enough and have a message that's worth listening to and there's sufficient audience not to mention having a group of willing helpers to help you make it all happen then go ahead.

Note, it's a lot of work.

Applying for a license, public hearing etc. complying with regulations etc., getting the station running - studio, transmitter, antenna location etc. requires a group of dedicated people with a wide variety of skills to pull the whole operation together.

I know, as I've done it. Years ago, not only was I involved in helping getting a community FM station running but back then where I live there was no FM service and we had to petition government to hold a commission of enquiry just to get the FM service approved. And that even meant having interlopers who were then occupying the international 88-108MHz FM band evicted.

If that weren't enough we even built our stereo exciter and transmitter from scratch.

You’re severely underestimating the amount of people interested in retro gaming. “noisy nerd minority” is pretty offensive - companies way bigger than Nintendo basically rely on nostalgia nowadays.

Their online offering is a ripoff and a disgrace to their legacy. Even the Wii U VC was technically and quantitatively superior. Not that I wouldn’t mind paying for it, if their first party titles had networking made with any kind of competence.
3 generations is GCN and N64, last I checked emulation of these is still not a fully solved problem even on highly speccd hardware. Their existing subscription service does emulate systems older than that, but the limited selection of titles is I think an unfortunate necessity of the licensing.

They're still kind of flailing with their entries into the mobile game space so I can see why they would be hesitant to jump into the PC software world, this is not a core competency.
I can't say anything about what is usual (or "fair", for whatever definition of that). But if you want to be in a good position for negitiations, it's better to make them say what percentage _they_ expect in return, and start from there. Asking you first is just a common negotiation tactic to get more than would be usual (especially if you're inexperienced with these things).
Kiwi Marmite is a bit more sugary than UK Marmite from what I remember. It's not bad, but it doesn't quite scratch the itch. We had all three variants in Antarctica, having deployed via New Zealand and with a couple of Brits and an Aussie on station. There was a taste-off for the Americans (99% of the station population) and I think the Kiwi Marmite won, much to my disappointment. I did convert at least one person to British Marmite.

On a recent trip back home, I was very happy to find that Marmite XO still exists and is sold in my parents' local Tesco.
