Both 3080TI and 4080 are roughly 600mm2+ Die Size. 2080 has a 700mm2+ on a mature node.

1080TI, the only outliner in your example has less than 500mm2 of die size.

And all of that are before taking account of GDDR memory costing, the board, higher TDP requirement and heatsink differences.

While I dont think 4080 pricing is good value or cheap by any standard. I also dont think it is ridiculously expensive. From a transistor stand point, you are getting 2.7x the transistor between 3080Ti and 4090. With 4090 You are buying 76 billion transistor, with 24GB of GDDRX for only $1600.

> I enjoy writing C (more than C++); I do not find it awful. If you cannot accept that, then there is nothing I can say to change your mind. What I don't understand is this atavistic obsession that "everyone must migrate to rust now"…

Nobody is saying this!

In the original tweet, Mark Russinovich said he thinks C and C++ should be deprecated. I believe if you asked him to elaborate on this, he would say he believes we should stop using them when possible. Not "must". "Should". And further, I suspect he'd clarify that he is imploring this of the industry as a whole, and not at the scale of individual developers.

People still write asm, and nobody is coming for their heads. We need people like that! And we will need people who are skilled in C for the far foreseeable future. But the time has come where there exist alternatives to C and C++ which are superior for a very large bulk of their remaining use-cases. He's not scolding individual engineers who choose to continue writing code in a language he enjoys. He's calling for the industry as a whole to recognize this new reality and move forward with the times.

I was all ready to be like "yeah, but org-mode can already..." and then I watched the video. You know what? This is actually a great idea. I love the timer. The graphics are very clean and nice. This is a great simple little idea.

Of course, now I'm like .... "huh, how could i get that functionality in org-mode?" but... ;)

for those of you not using org-mode... watch the really short vid and see if it's something that'd work for your brain.

[edit: yup. org-mode has something similar, just not a running timer visible _in_ your doc]
It will be interesting to see if, on a case by case basis, those who do not adhere to the 32 hours in a company actually get preferentially rewarded (promotions / compensation) . If that's the case then the 4 day work week is going to turn into a form of gaslighting much like salary work.

"40 hours per week is full time, but you're exempt" . -- 32 hours a week is all we work (except if you want a raise / promotion) .
Yeah if you're in for a penny you're in for a pound as they say. Sometimes I think that most of the algorithms should just go away and we should just trade 10 times a year, from a spreadsheet. Then I remember that those algorithms all came from the primordial spreadsheet soup, and just laugh.

What are the other systems that are actually being used?
I guarantee you're driving some employees to worse performance because they're depressed from having a meeting every single day at which they have to justify their continued employment. This kind of thing is absolutely soul-crushing.

You're likely also straight-up killing standups as a collaboration tool for the team. They work best when the team can be very open and honest. This use of standups ruins that. You probably shouldn't be in the standups at all, in fact, unless you're also contributing code to the project(s) on a more-or-less daily basis. Further, these practices tend to turn standups into sharing way too many details about every little problem or task the previous day, which also contributes to making them worthless for the people actually doing the work (plus, even more miserable to sit/stand through every single day—see again: the first paragraph, like, the general principle here is maybe don't have a standing daily meeting that everyone completely fucking dreads)

Also: where the hell's your project manager? And how is your issue tracker broken enough that you can't tell what people are working on or for roughly how long, without this? Between the tracker and the repo(s) and occasionally just chatting with people, you should not need this to tell how well people are working.

This has cost more than actually launching rockets into space.
Because you will inevitably need to use control flow, conditional rendering, and computed values in your components. And creating proprietary HTML syntax (ie ngIf) to cross reference variables defined in the JS anyways. So why not use JS and gain access to powerful array manipulation, ternary operators, map/reduce/filter functionality, etc instead of leaning on an inferior template syntax?
It probably is functionally lighter, too. When you walk, your body doesn't slide smoothly along the ground - it wobbles up and down and back and forth. The way most people walk is optimised so that the torso does the least amount of wobbling, but if you add a heavy backpack on that person, it will be moving back-and-forth. Technically, that backpack isn't heavier than it it was in a person's belly, but it does move around more and cost more energy.

It's just not a solvable problem. No matter what dang, et al, do, they're creating a place they themselves WANT, and most people conform or skirt just within the edges.

> As in "you agree not to initiate poaching up until 12 months after leaving the company".

Where I live that can be legal with the following caveat (same for non-compete):

- They have to pay you (a consideration) when signing such agreement

- It must be for a definite period of time. (Unsure about how much time is legal though)

- The only penalty for breach would be to return the consideration.

Where I live most non-competes/non-poaching agreements would be unenforceable since they don't meet the previous criteria. (Unenforceable clauses are normally refereed to as illegal though)
Thanks for the correction and references.

Sounds like a nightmare.
> Vue 3 with the composition API looks fantastic on paper. (I haven’t used it in any meaningful way)

Recently worked on migrating a large codebase over from a legacy solution to Vue 3 with composition API, it was a pretty enjoyable experience, especially with Pinia!

Though I'd say that the problem was that most component libraries/frameworks out there actually don't support Vue 3 well enough. Last I checked, only the following were viable with Vue 3:

- Ant Design
- Element Plus
- PrimeVue (went with this, also has icons and a layout solution; also alternatives available for React and Angular)

Most of the other ones considered weren't quite there yet:

- Vuetify
- Quasar
- BootstrapVue
- Vue Material
- Buefy
- View UI
- Vuikit
- Chakra UI

I mean, is it really so hard to get a bunch of pre-built components for Vue 3 with Bootstrap, or Bulma? It feels a bit like the Python 2 to Python 3 migration in some respects.
Before people get too up-in-arms about that being XML, that is just the first step in the GObject Introspection compilation.

The second step builds a .typelib file which is a mmap()'able data-structure used at runtime by dynamic languages. It's smaller as it doesn't contain things like function/class documentation.

Additionally, the language bindings tend to use the GIRepository base structure which handles loading those mmap()'able data structures with an C API on-top of it.
I keep it as simple as possible: my daily task list in a text file open in a tab in a text editor. I also have a master task list of what I need to do in the week, which I use to populate the next day's text file.

A text file doesn't have all the bells and whistles, the integration, the alarms and alerts that a lot of todo list apps have, but it keeps me focused and works for me. And that's all that matters.
Well the game sure isn't real.

The X11 draw APIs are not really used outside stuff written in Motif or hand-written X11 clients like st. Instead, modern X11 clients sidestep all this for performance reasons and render on their own and post buffers (e.g. GLX, cairo, vulkan, whatever they may like). This means copying bitmaps when forwarding, over a protocol that is not made for doing so efficiently.

Sure, if an application is just rendering nothing but text through X (and not using e.g. pango rendering to a cairo context), and you do not prefer using the resources on the machine running the application rather than the one displaying it, and you don't care about performance when using the application locally, then X11's might be more efficient. But for a purely text application, SSH puts X11 and Wayland to shame.

Re: encoder limits, Intel Quick Sync (built into Intel CPUs since 2011) documentation suggests the only limitation there with respect to parallel encoding is whether or not you can keep up with frame-rate requirements - an old example being 10 streams at full HD 30fps. I believe waypipe only focuses on video-memory buffers right now for video encoding right now as a simple heuristic, as CPU memory (shm buffers) are only used for "low performance" content on Wayland.

> I think the bad performance of many X11 apps is not inherent to the protocol but inherent to the programs written in synchronous style ... And this kind of code is possibly so common because doing everything asynchronously can be tedious, and even more tedious in some enviroments such as C.

I believe even libxcb has forced synchronous parts, which are annoying Wayland compositor developers a lot as Xwayland-supporting compositors need a bit of X11 WM code.

The Wayland protocol is asynchronous by nature, and the primary client and server library exposes this with no synchronous pretenses in idiomatic C. Every function you call only queues a request that will be sent when your event loop dispatches next time, and when you receive events your event loop will fire callbacks in bulk.

Nothing is synchronous, and updating your window requires no wait. In the simple case, the only message you'll get back at some point is one informing you that the previous buffer can now be reused (buffer release).
I wonder if in 100 years from now society will make fun of "carefully cultivated discourse" the way we make fun of the aristocrats who drink tea with their pinky out to show how refined they were.
Looks awesome and for sure will be the future. Most ECAD software has a circuit 'library' function you can design something once and use it many times so it's not completely fair to claim that's something really novel.

Like CDK for circuit boards, sounds pretty cool.
"tautological" comes generally from logical reasoning as a field (in which i have interest but no formal training). is that what you're asking? it's "circular reasoning": a (usually hidden) premise comes around to "prove" the causal chain, which means it's not really proven at all, but merely reasserted. it's a pretty common logical mistake to fall for, because it's hard to detect without that close reading (the platitude that "falsehoods can travel the world before truth has had breakfast" comes to mind here as well).

i think political scientists do research the multidimensionality of issues all the time. it's just that politicization (as in partisan politics) wants to collapse the problem space into memes that can lodge in people's brains without further thinking, and simpler (binary) memes are more easily remembered and propagated. in any case, the standard remedies certainly include voting reform (to lessen the incentive towards this binary collapse), parliametary systems (accommodating multiparty coalition-building), federalism (smaller governments are more responsive to the local populace), direct democracy or finer representation, etc.

While the Trek Émonda is as weight weenie as Trek gets, it can provide an apples-to-apples comparison between aluminum and carbon with basically the same geometry, wheels, bars, tires etc. My experience is that the carbon version feels significantly nicer.

So by disagreeing are you implying that oppressive regimes, e.g confiscating people's hard earned money is fine? Think political or economic refugees.

Think of someone wanting to move out of Russia or, say, North Korea.

What about using Bitcoin to overcome such situations?

Are you saying that such uses are breaking the law and therefore they should NOT be possible? And so Bitcoin enabling them is a negative thing?
No. The suckers in Ponzi schemes are expecting to get money payouts from the founders -- and the early ones usually do, payed from investments from the later ones. This doesn't resemble that structure at all.

Why has T.I. consistently tended to produce faulty products throughout the company history?

This quote makes me think of many more:

"Texas Instruments didn't seem to put much effort into the layout, which Mazor calls 'pretty sloppy techniques' and 'throwing some blocks together'."

I recall the TI-99/4a that gave the TMS-9900 CPU a few hundred bytes of RAM, and prevented peek/poke or any other low-level manipulation of the machine (and trashed its educational value). I really wish TI had stayed out of this market.

They sold 386 Xenix machines for a while, and their motherboards came in three pieces connected by ribbon cables, which did not do much for reliability compared to Compaq. They should have used a one-piece motherboard design.

Later 68000 NuBUS TI-UNIX systems were developed when MIPS and ARM were both visible. What were they thinking?

The DSPs and other core competencies must be quite good to cover for these kinds of mistakes. Their SPARC chips never seemed to get any complaints, but I would be curious to hear Scott McNealy's take.

HotSpot Intrinsics for OpenJDK19
Hoping for the following:

- Fully automated place and routing up to 3d PCB level, with constraints including locked item positions, orientations and board stackup. Most likely ML based and fairly quick and trained on a simulator that takes into account various design rules, realistic physics, etc . Zero input from a GUI.

- Datasheet semantics implemented directly into code / logic and rules checking and analog simulation

- Use typescript, jsx to create the simplest way to implement components and sub circuits. (I know this isn't going to happen)

- Use a cloud package manager so people can share thier sub circuits and ICs

- Interactive heirarcical schematic

It's been interesting watching the remaster fever over the past ten years, because I think in many ways it's been a huge reckoning in terms of which games actually have held up in terms of the core gameplay loop, and which have not at all.

Ocarina of Time 3D, Wind Waker HD, Shadow of the Colossus? Absolutely these hold up, the games are still masterpieces, and the handful of QoL improvements were perfect— exactly what was needed.

But PS1-era collectathon platformers like Spyro and Medi-Evil? Definitely not so much, and dressing them up in a fresh coat of paint in some ways just casts into relief how vacant these games always were.
