While a 50% drop of NAND price ( "price", not cost ) does not imply a 50% drop in SSD RSP. The oversupply issues is very real. Something not foreseen in all previous projection. And arguably not seen in NAND's history. NAND supplier ends up with additional capacity, as everyone was crying for more in 2018 - 2020. Those are just coming online. While having less demand in every single sector. From Smartphone, Tablet, Laptop, PC, and External Media. The only growing ( or Flat ) demand has been Cloud Computing. But even that for some reason seems to be slowing down as well. AFAIK, Cloud Computing is still growing, AWS is still building as fast as they could, but not SSD. ( May be delay in data or missing some context here )

I haven't even mention NAND coming from China.

And of course, exchange rate, most NAND are coming from South Korea, Japan and Taiwan.

So we end up with a perfect Storm. I would love to see 4TB NAND under $200.

It is probably worth mentioning, the fundamental hasn't changed. The Cost of NAND, isn't getting much cheaper. There are no roadmap to suggest the big three could reduce cost per bit by 50% between now to 2027. I hope there are some breakthrough in the near future which provides a path where continuous cost reduction being possible.

Mississippi and WV had obesity rates of 39.5% in 2018, yet Mississippi was 476 where WV was 364 so something else is going on.

Especially when you consider Delaware’s 33.5% obesity in 2018 somehow only resulted in 289. Turns out states with stronger responses had better results independent of what population density and demographics would suggest.
Then that's a real jerk-ass move.

That particular claim is bullshit but it is true that video games can cause physiological changes and even harm. Like social media, video games today are straight up designed to be addictive. They're essentially Skinner's boxes but the reward lever is the player's credit card.

Not only can addiction of any sort cause physiological changes in the reward center of the brain, video games can also impact physical, social and financial well being by virtue of being an expensive, addictive, sedentary and often isolated activity. Video game addiction is already a recognized medical diagnosis in ICD-11.

Dumb decision that won't actually address security in a meaningful way.

Are there any backdoors in Huawei kit? Unlikely but possible (to be fair, just like with any other piece of hardware/software you can't audit).

But the backdoors aren't what I'd be worried about. No need for a backdoor when all the access is intentionally outsourced to the lowest bidders: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/5g-elephant-in-the-room/, the engineering culture is non-existent and insiders aren't paid enough to care anyway, not to mention vulnerable to bribery.

When you solve the above issues, by all means, remove suspicious hardware. Until then, nobody needs to burn a backdoor when they can bribe or hack the unlimited supply of monkeys who have privileged access but not the wages, working & living conditions, skills and career prospects that would encourage them to decline such bribes or be more mindful of compromise attempts.
Perhaps some garbage charities. Puppeting this sort of thing as a general truth is damaging to the charities that are doing good work. I suggest you do a little bit of research (charity navigator, giving what we can, effective altruism, etc.) before you say this sort of thing again.
"Dogfooding is a good thing"

That gets repeated a lot but I have observed the opposite when you have a diversified company dogfooding an internal product that isn't strategic in their portfolio, or is targeted at a market segment that the company doesn't belong to. I have seen companies hamstring themselves by using a product that isn't the best offering for them or a poor technical fit, only because it is their own offering. Also, in the worst case, companies become develop tunnel vision in the market, because they don't regularly use the competition.

If you have a large, international software company targeting small to medium business customers in the US, dogfooding would be counterproductive. It would probably harm their strategic customer base by overcomplicating their product with features they don't need at the same time it slows the parent company down by using a product that's poor fit.
I think their system works like this:

You buy two coins for $0.02 and they give one diamond or $0.01 to the recipient. This looks like a 50% cut but after App Store fees and taxes it's more like 25%.

Still bad but not 70% as implied in the article.

People are grouping all FAANGs together in this thread. But this wasn't my experience at Google at all. It's impossible to get promoted past L5 (or even maybe past L4) with a short term-focused approach like this. And, at least at the lower levels (up to L5), you only need to be self-promotional every 6-12 months for perf.
So limiting liability.

> You need more than just dynamite to sculpt Mt Rushmore.

Not really. Volcker did his job with dynamite just fine. You raise interest rates above prevailing inflation rates. Easy.

But the current Fed is stuck. They can't fix inflation Volcker-style (hiking to 9-10%) without destroying the bond market and kicking off a cascading debt crisis.

So they're targeting a middle-ground terminal rate of 4.5% and hoping the can will be kicked long enough that it will be someone else's problem in the medium-term future.

Good luck to them.

Game Development still revolves around this. For example when loading a level, it used to be you have huge arena, you load your "serialized" map at one end (say top), and your other chunks at the bottom - you have some "flexibility" to pop from top or bottom, so early on you arrange for that. Alternatively you split your memory per sized big chunks, and stream in out these (works well for textures, and primed sounds - e.g. the first 64kb or 128kb of a sound file).
In a certain sense, this is so damn cute and pure DOS nostalgia. My next side project is going to be a Norton Commander I guess.

I recently started a degree with Open University in Engineering (a distance learning course that's fully accredited in the UK but works for me as I move around while my wife works as a Postdoc, currently in Palo Alto). The book I've found that covers me from math basics (basically GCSE, so high school Maths) through to the more advanced topics I know I will need is Engineering Mathematics by K. A. Stroud. I'd highly recommend it. It contains a good number of exercises (and all solutions), covers all the topics I need, and progresses at a good pace. You can see the contents here: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/engineering-mathematics-978135...

This implies changing of buffer sizes requires a process restart. Which is a fine trade off.

This also implies all memory is allocated upfront. It would require the operating system to be smart enough to compress/page blocks or else the process will hold on to unused memory
> I thought we were past the employer loyalty era and more accepting of the harsh reality that everything is profit-driven these days

I think this is my biggest disappointment working for a big tech company. I don't feel I'm "part of the family" at all. Very high turnover, people come and go, some are fired, burn out, or move to another job. I'd love to feel I'm part of something, but it's not the case. Plus most products are very questionable. Very few people do work on something meaningful anyway.

It's all about optimising some metrics. The same way you need to leetcode to get recruited, you're expected to check some boxes once you're in if you want to stay.
In case it's not clear, this "sending data to the US" thing also means storing data in the US (because you have to send it there).

The FAQ for the Schrems II ruling makes it clear that SCCs and BCRs aren't a basis for sending data to the US (BCRs are still valid for other regions that haven't received an unfavorable adequacy decision).

https://edpb.europa.eu/sites/default/files/files/file1/20200...

As far as I can tell, nobody's enforcing the rules about where you store your data right now (as distinct from sending user data to 3rd parties, like the Google Fonts thing).
While innovation and trying to find start-up ideas is very praiseworthy, why not just trawl through the last YC Startup Directory list and figure out what might fit your particular favorite domain, with some modification?

I guess that if you came up with some completely novel idea, say facetiously, some cyrpto-subscription knock-off of flappy bird where you play against others. I can almost guarantee that if it showed any kind of traction, somebody out there would copy it either directly, or similarly enough. Then, if they get the execution down better than you, that's their start-up company taking off.

It's the whole red ocean/blue ocean analogy - there's more good ideas out there already, badly executed, that are just waiting for you to pick up and do better.
> Amphetamine and Modafinil have also caused these types of behavior in myself but none moreso than Methylphenidate.

Why is this the case?

I too have been legally prescribed such substances for medical reasons, and I have some of the same issues. The medications do help alleviate some symptoms, but during the initial ramp-up (like shortly after ingestion) I have worse symptoms for about an hour or so. Some of which occasionally include compulsive behaviors.
it's common to use it to load Slowly Changing Dimensions in data warehouses, at least in other systems, so it's nice to have the same-ish syntax in PG
I typically update to .0 on my dev machine ASAP, and if there are no problems after a bit I'll update the server to .0 (or usually .1, since that'll usually be out by then).

I think that's a nice compromise; although not a "real" test as the load is a lot less. Also things may work in dev but not production, but unless you explicitly use new features that's rare.

For larger setups you can us canary servers and whatnot, but I prefer to work at small companies and keep my sanity.
My guess is that person was against TARP and was trying to make a political statement, since you couldn't really spend TARP money like that.
The post is flippant but a decent strategy. Your goal (whether you're a total comp+promo seeker or just looking to float) is to arm your manager with as much ammunition as possible to argue on your behalf during calibrations. Project impact can be easily argued against, especially when your area of work is difficult or not well understood by other engineering teams, not to mention that coming up with undeniably impactful projects every 6-12 months is not possible on many teams. Lines of code and moving efficiency or cost metrics cannot be argued against. It's not the only way to "succeed" at Meta but it's certainly the easiest way
Yes but there's also people who think capitalism = things they don't like and don't bother to think about what the alternative truly looks like.
If you're not too concerned about proofs, I can highly recommend K. A. Stroud's 'Engineering Mathematics', and the follow-on text, 'Advanced Engineering Mathematics'.

It leads the reader from basic arithmetic all the way up to complex analysis, one exercise at a time.

“There’s no point in acting surprised about it.

Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.”

Again, you're completely missing the point of the comment you're replying to: average users don't pay attention to what's being staged upstream. You're only going to get the real flood of complaints when it actually gets pushed out and people's houses start getting demolished.

This is awesome! I just spent way too much time on this. I grasp the simple things but to do anything more creative/interesting I feel like there's a bit of a learning curve. I'm going to keep at it though, just takes practice.
How does it works exactly? It's a memory pool that uses 85% of available memory? If I have one row in my DB it's going to prealocate 30GB of memory? I don't think it's a sane design, it reminds me the JVM args with min / max.
It’s not often that I see a mention of Workflowy in the wild. I know there is better out there, but Workflowy and Apple Notes are the ones I already use and I’m unsure whether the others are better enough to be worth the switching costs.

> RCS, as used by Google today, is a proprietary closed source fork

That’s news to me, interesting.

So is this fork fully incompatible with the spec, or it just adds some features beyond that spec? I.e. if Apple implements the open spec can they communicate with Google systems using the base spec features?

If Google built and run their own non-interoperable fork as a competing messaging system then I strongly agree that they don’t have a leg to stand on.

I’m a bit less convinced with the whole “Google wants your data” angle. The whole reason they used RCS in the first place is because carriers want to run their own messaging infra, and I believe the carriers still do even if they are using Google’s spec (eg see https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/30/22556686/att-android-phon..., though I am not certain on this point). In the past Google tried to get carriers to buy in to their own proprietary service and failed.

It looks to me more that AT&T, Verizon (a bit) and T-Mobile are all running Google’s version of the RCS spec on their own networks and servers, so even if it isn’t open (it should be), it is still a de facto industry standard. So I think they still have a case here that Apple should fall back to this spec instead of SMS.
People that can officially call it insider trading are the ones doing it.
> "TC" gives me and my family options to do other big things in the world.

TC is tangential to all of that. If getting a higher TC decreases work life balance, then it actually doesn't give you and your family options to do other things in the world, it literally detracts from it. If a higher TC means a longer commute, you are losing out on time that you could be doing things with your family. Having more stress for more TC lowers your health (mental and physical) and can significantly strain family life.

TC is literally only one dimension that should be optimized for. There are many other factors that should be taken into consideration with a job, because burning yourself out before you are 50 just so you can maybe hope to retire early isn't always worth it, and isn't guaranteed to even actually work out.
Core CPI excludes food and energy, so the stats you quoted are for the total CPI and are not Core CPI as you claim. Core CPI is at 0.6% this month or over 7% annually, there is nothing low about that and the media isn't really overhyping it. Inflation is still coming in hot despite the rate increases which is not good.

And while D&I advocates are busy, the reality diverges. There are large teams at Amazon et al that only speak Hindi or Chinese. Imagine what group of persons are not hired because they aren't a "cultural fit".
It's good that many (mostly born in a western country) are aware of racism and try to prevent it. However, that usually doesn't apply to people with a different cultural background. E.g., I saw many times that Indians treated other Indians differently based on their caste. That happened in silicon valley companies in the US.
I think it was when I was reading the zlib source code, while dinosaurs roamed outside my college window, where I first saw a variant of this, of a library that statically allocated memory for a graceful shutdown routine before doing anything, so even if memory were exhausted by a bug in other code later on it could still exit cleanly.
Wow, CloudWatch for note metadata metrics. Notebook organization systems are serious business!
> So the loan forgiveness was by _design_ and the point of the program was to keep businesses alive when the governments themselves were (for perhaps good reason) making it impossible for them to operate. It's not really "forgiveness" in the sense of, say, the college loan forgiveness program.

I think this is a key point.

The PPP "loans" effectively became a payout to mitigate the chance & success of businesses suing the government en mass for the shutdown orders.

When you sue an entity civilly, you have to show damages. The PPP "loans" countered those damages (and often more) which means the threshold for a successful lawsuit just got WAY higher.

A lot of the GDPR tracking stuff is only applicable for anonymous users. Once someone creates an account and accepts the ToS, it's a different relationship. Tracking is fine, GDPR becomes more concerned with data safety.

This is why freemium products are so important. In this future, your marketing should be a sledgehammer with one focus - get people to create accounts. Once people have accounts, then you can do all sorts of analysis to find your product's value prop/customer journey mapping/etc.

Isn't this just a bunch of static object pools? That's extremely common in embedded programming. I'm glad to see someone recognized it could apply to a database.

My students do this on the GameBoy Advance specifically so they don't need to learn about dynamic memory allocation to get useful things done early in my course. In fact, they only learn about dynamic memory allocation for academic reasons later on and never _need_ to use it in their games.

Surprisingly, if you keep the feature set down, time to ship wasn't bad. The project was done in about half a semester and that's only working on it here and there.
