FTA: Whether or not additional funds are available from the EU is not known.

This is just Germany paying Intel to make unreasonable business decision reasonable.

These things usually happen for strategic reasons. For example, it could be possible that from purely business perspective it's the best to produce all the food in Africa, Russia or China but this leaves EU vulnerable to stuff going on in these places or conflicts with them, therefore you have common agriculture policy and food import-export controls.

The decision makers probably decided that completely relying on foreign IC supply is a risk they cannot afford, therefore they will pay to make it fixed. I wouldn't be surprised if EU also chips in.
It's not worse, aside from chats being unencrypted by default.

I've had suggestions on Instagram of people who I never got in touch with, only because my wife, who has no FB account, is in the same WhatsApp group as these people. They mixed in a bunch of other "you may know" people to make it less obvious, but when comparing her groupchat and my suggestions, it's clear they made links via IPs and phone numbers. At least Telegram isn't big enough (not yet, anyway) to cross correlate data to ID users like that to create such privacy concerns. FB? No, thanks.
There could be blackmail behind the scenes. A smart contract or whatever that will publish the key unless X amount of Y is transferred to wallet Z. So if nothing comes out of it could be that some croins changed hands.
Now, if they could only be this consistent with bankers who've ruined the World economy: failing up has been a thing for way too long, and now that Putin decided to make Russia the next N. Korea and made the West start enforcing financial malfeasance we should realize that the economy is rife with it from those outside of Russia and that should be addressed as well.

Oligarchs are only possible because banks and Hedge funds allow them to operate within their justification and they should all be held liable for this to occur.

If they want a list just bring out the Panama papers and start going down the list of other complicit in the very same offshoring tactics Russian oligarchs have used.

But Intel is investing in ARM/RISC-V and x86 will be with us a bit longer (probably even 10+years).

This is insightful and it's often true that an interviewer will ask you a question in a generic context in an area they're stuck. Seen it several times on both sides.
Well yeah, cause that would be kinda silly haha. I think a comparable thing would be if there was a concept of readright for books (I guess there is, piracy exists, but it's more focused on the copying side of things than unauthorised reading)

True, I forgot Gitea!
As Enterprise-plan customers we also had a support ticket recently ignored for 8 days (not hours) until I pinged on it. That's super unusual for paid SaaS. I can't think of any other vendor that ignored my support tickets for that long (not even "we're looking into it"), including the dreaded Google.
Honestly, the title seems a bit misleading. This doesn't look like a computer science curriculum. It in fact looks like it's teaching me "the latest hotness" (JS, Python and Go). The description of the Go course alone points to that "Go is one of the most popular languages this year."

I would also argue that the CS track would be confusing for someone new... why would I want to learn the basics of JS and then drop-off and start Python, drop-off and start Go?

But the begging question here is... has your wife used this course? What did she think compared to other options? :)
I always see Gitea recommended, but is it as mature as gitlab self hosted? From authentication methods (SAML, Cognito) to code review, issues, wiki?

You can say it’s a different bass note, and so it is. There is something about the chocolate-dill-cayenne example as well that if the harmony was 90% cayenne it probably wouldn’t work. Dill, it would work a bit better. Chocolate, it would work the best.

Talk about irony.
My proposal would be to form an industry panel made up of experts in each of the discrete roles that make up a typical software product value chain. Ask that panel to produce the following:

1. Adapt industry best practices into a training program to teach executives what is necessary for a software product with happy customers. Very simple and to the point: here are the components of the value chain, here is their common problems, here is what each job needs to do to prevent them, here is how they have to work together. The purpose isn't to micro-manage each department, but to know how to identify when they aren't operating correctly and how to put people in place who know #2 below.

2. Take the above and break it down for each part of the value chain. Have the managers/directors of each part learn what their own department's best practice requires, its pitfalls, strategies. Teach them how inter-departmental overlap is required for happy customers, how departments should set each other up for success and collaborate, how "ownership" is tenuous and demands collaboration and compromise. They're all tributaries of a river.

Charge money for people to go through that training and get a certificate. The money goes back into the whole thing. This becomes a baseline that shows you understand how to work on software products with best practice geared towards customer satisfaction.
Every useful technology has some level of Bureaucratic regulations attached to it. there are very few exceptions and they don't hurt any sort of growth or innovation. Cars, planes, electric outlets, the internet, radio, television, railways, and more are all regulated to some degree. There are as many examples of regulations driving innovation as there are limiting it.
When I was working before my retirement I routinely had to work 60 hr weeks since I was lead (went to every meeting) and wrote code full time along with my team. Most of our projects started with a hard deadline (estimates were only used for budgeting, the time was predetermined) and constant change was endemic during every project. No way this would fit in 32 hr weeks. Yet we still had sprints (which assumed 40 hrs of effort) and burndown charts (which is antiagile and idiotic given all the changes). The real issue is institutional insanity, assuming you can direct engineers like they were machines.

Until you fix the institution you can't change the hours.
>Go higher and it gets even less plausible. 2.0g is like carrying your twin.

FWIW there are people who weigh well beyond 150kg so I'd argue it would be plausible. Will people be able to perform at peak physical level? No. Will they probably manage for a couple of days? I'd say so.
What do you mean by 3D phenomena?

String theory is as far as I have ever read the only thing even close to a working theory in this area. That doesn't mean it's correct but in my admittedly limited understanding of the literature many alternatives are either dead or are similar to string theory only without the underlying principles.

People do work on alternatives. there are a lot of smart people unhappy with string theory they just can't actually provide any alternatives.

One thing I'd like to say as well is that if someone does provide an alternative there will be a large movement of minds. This always happens in science, people like to think of physicists as a kind of unionized cabal but this isn't true historically or today as far as I'm concerned. Certainly not with the physicists of tomorrow.
Just recently bought my M1 MBA 8GB and absolutely love it. Use it primarily for AWS workloads and only read/consult AWS pdf docs locally. For what I am doing it’s great. Don’t even miss the 16Gb. Ofcourse YMMV if you think of running say Xcode. I have no issues thus far keeping a dozen chrome tabs open along with Vscode. For the price I paid(after I exchanged it for my 2018 MBA and educational discount) it’s a steal
Start interviewing I suppose.
It's also doing the astrology thing of calling out common circumstances in an effort to have people go hey that's me!

'“Refactoring” becomes a rallying cry instead of shipped.'

I can imagine product managers right now saying 'hey that's me' this must be true. Note that an ask to refactor rather than continually shipping fast is a sign of mature engineering and is common.
Amazon and Azure have much larger multi-tenant concerns and are able to pull of an SLA.
I don’t get your point. What you describes sounds exactly like the goal of such a subsidy. With new Intel factories in Europe that means more demand for ASML and other European companies, given that they already collaborate. With the addition that you can now train Europeans and develop the industry locally.
> Schoenberg...thought of himself as the heir of Brahms and Wagner

Great point about the continuity of tradition. It is amazing how these people really were so interconnected. Brahms was impressed enough with the young Schoenberg that he offered to pay his tuition to the Vienna Conservatory. Mahler spent time with Brahms and had competitive encounters with Schoenberg, etc.

Considering the antagonism between the Brahms and the Wagner camps, is this something Schoenberg would have expressed? Wagner and Bruckner considered themselves to be carrying on Beethoven's tradition (I assume the same for Brahms, but can't recall reading him declaring such). It would be hard to argue, however, that Schoenberg wasn't an heir in a real sense, though (probably because of his essays) associate him more closely with Brahms. Just curious for your thoughts.

Well first of all, cryptocurrency isn't "censorship-resistant" any more than any other encrypted distributed system, so you can take that phrase out. Take a look at Tor or Freenet to see how this is done without the ponzi tokens.

Second of all, you can easily build a timestamped and tamper-proof ledger without making people pay to access it using speculative tokens. The aspect of trying to assign money value to these tokens is the problem, not the tamper-proof part. Conflating all these concepts together under the roof of "blockchain" is one of the many sins of web3 companies, but it's not true. Another sin is this constant attempt by people to "refute" critics. You don't need to do that, the fact that it happens so often should tip you off that the technology is not the focus of the discussion here. If you ever find yourself getting hostile about this, you're falling for the trap that the marketers are setting.
I also went to university, where they also over-focused on lex and yacc and similar. However, most people who work on parsers where the user or developer experience matters don't use them, because they are quite restrictive and cumbersome and typically don't give nice error messages.

Academia doesn't necessarily teach you the most useful way to do things.
Just my opinion, but I have both apple and android Samsung tablets (use both for testing), The android tablets are simply not in the same ballpark in terms of quality and UX.

So if I was Apple, I doubt I’d take the android tablet market seriously. Android mobile phones are viable alternatives but not the tablets.
For me, the common usage of the terms "training" and "working" are not the same. In most jobs, we perform a lot of "working," or applying known patterns, and very little "training," or learning new patterns.

Pro sports is flipped, and often each week the athletes are learning new tactics/counter-tactics based on their opponent, or adjusting their existing patterns to perfection, or grinding out exercise routines to be able to demand more from their body. Drills are required to "train" their body into being able to do these routines reliably on-demand, and new exercise routines are often the best at forcing your body to adapt and grow.

That said, even pro-athletes have rest periods once the season is over. Also, many of them incorporate rest into training routines as well. An NFL player usually will rest after game day for 1 or 2 days.
"Talent cooling" – the phenomenon where development slows because smart people leave en masse – isn't new. It's more broadly known as "brain drain."
Yeah. The rollout of domestic wiring standards was pre-EU, and dealing with the entrenched incompatible standardisation gets in the way of the EU goal of a single market in goods and services. They really don't want more arbitrary standards that vary nationally.

Of course, that's not quite the same as the laptop charger question where the fragmentation is between companies and less entrenched. But still.

Multi-tenant SaaS do have outages that affect small numbers of customers sometimes (e.g. a bug triggered by data specific to a customer). If their support isn’t paying attention to tickets, they may not even know there’s a problem or they may be slow to respond.
From one of those prior discussions, a related nonprofit effort to lower prices of drugs that are sometimes in short supply or overpriced, where the founding Utah hospital system has joined with other hospital systems, has a solid, long-term reputation (and good personal experience--their intake agreement to get a blood sample drawn totaled 2 reasonable pages, where the next-nearest hospital came out at 11) and have generally done friendly good work for a long time as far as I can tell.

Wikipedia said (lightly shortened): "Civica Rx is a nonprofit generic drug company founded in 2018 by national philanthropies and leading U.S. health systems[1] to reduce and prevent drug shortages in the United States and the price spikes that can accompany them. .... While serving 55 health systems and 1,500 hospitals (or 1/3 of all licensed U.S. hospital beds), Civica also supplies the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the U.S. Department of Defense, and “340B” hospitals caring for vulnerable patients in some of the country’s most underserved areas. As of January 2022, Civica provided nearly 70 million vials of essential medicines, enough to treat over 26 million patients across the United States. These numbers continue to grow as Civica moves from a start-up to a well-established societal asset, serving more patients every day. Most recently, eleven of Civica's 55+ medications are being used to help COVID-19 patients, including neuromuscular blocking agents, sedation agents and pain management medications for patients on ventilators."

This is really interesting and I once heard about something similar in terms of a tax system.

So say you have very high taxes, well as with most things the top 10/20% are paying 80% of the taxes. If you bump your tax rate too high you lose the top earner who end up leaving the country. This then creates a ripple of people earning a lot who all leave and you're left with very few top earners and high taxes.

Not sure I am personally for low tax systems but it shows you how most things work best when you're in the middle, not at an extreme.
> do you really think a quicker response would have changed the end result

Communication matters a lot. A response within 24 hours means they would be ten days ahead. Yes, that is better than being 11 days behind.

Waiting is what the customers do, the provider needs to communicate, at the very least, that they are aware of the problem and looking into it.
To me these hard disks are one step removed from optical backups, which I used to make. The more "offline" the better. Even the currently local set is kept unplugged between updates. Also keeping a NAS at another location means having internet access at that location. The work network/firewall would not permit this use, for one thing.
Self sufficiency for products that are the lifeblood of your economy is attractive to governments.

Any of the things you describe can easily be replicated locally, fabs much less so.

Even more to the point is that it gives countries the chance to develop a high value competitive advantage that others cannot replicate.

Places like the EU would argue that they have the human capital to compete globally but they don't have the industry because of historical factors.
