Correct, it began on a PDP-7 in embryonic form, and having proved the point to management, justified buying a PDP-11, which was then the primary Unix machine at Bell Labs for some years, certainly through Version 7 / 7th Edition, which was around the point when people started porting it to other architectures.

Right around then, Berkeley BSD development mostly shifted from PDP 11 to the DEC Vax 11/780.

> I suspect that burnout happens when you strive to achieve something for many years with singular focus on that thing and it fails to materialize no matter what you do.

Not necessarily, at least not in my case. Burnout came from multiple layers of management slightly gaslighting the dev team by acknowledging the issues we brought up, acknowledging these issues were making us slow, that the product which came from the startup phase was full of bugs that got even worse when scaling up, and then just not listening to our suggestions on how to align the business plan with a technical health plan. Worse than that: fake listening and then just ignoring those suggestions on the next quarter planning as if they were never brought up, shoving down our throats their demands for features without regards to our technical notes on why it wouldn't be feasible for the next year with the current state of the codebase.

It was extremely demoralising and demotivating, we were not chasing a complete refactoring, we weren't suggesting a 2nd system, we worked pretty hard to come up with a feasible plan for how we could achieve X business goal while needing to do Y technical aspect to properly scale and remove toil. We tracked how much time was spent on toil, how much that cost the company and how much we expected to save in the next 1-5 years depending on what suggestions and pace they bought into. It was a lot of effort to have hard data and facts, tracking code flows that were extremely convoluted and massively increased cognitive overload, etc.

It never worked, every quarter the demands were to implement new features on top of the ball of mud while having to do constant firefights when, inevitably, the shit parts would break and our B2B customers would be ringing all alarms with the salespeople.

It didn't come from years trying to achieve a goal, it came fast, in 2-3 quarters.

They simply never listened to the people they hired as experts, I burned out and had to change jobs and it took more than a year to recover from it.
If it's produced in the same region, the good stuff is usually less than $20, and most often less than $10. It's not usually worth it to pay for travel, IMO.
How is that dumb? May be their calculation of odds in making it big (financially or otherwise) resulted in taking that chance. It’s not just direct money when someone educated and smart wants to work here. There is indirect money that comes in form of connections that have significant dividends long term even if they get kicked out. Not to mention a new cultural experience.. So I’d say people make calculations. You have no idea about the decision making process.
Are you going to let criminals publish their memoirs and profit from their criminal acts? Are you going to be able to force every family in the country to support that? Or to support books on subjects they find taboo? Are you going to distribute funds to 'A Reinterpretation of Mein kampf for the modern Anti-semitic'?
You can get really high precision for a resistor at the silicon level but as for a regular resistor, the most you can do is buy the best TCR value you can and laser trim it to the exact spec. You can also buy hermetically sealed that have extremely low TCR and tolerances but they are expensive as hell and are relatively massive. If you can control the temperature of the board really well, you can hit very precise resistance values but again, expensive and not possible for all applications.

Overall, it's much easier to understand where your noise bottlenecks are in your system and cheap out on the parts that won't contribute to any reduction. Like if your ADC has a bit resolution of only 1uV, worrying about noise at the nano volt is just a waste of money.

The aggressive cookie banners required by the EU is very similar.

Plenty of sites use full page modals. Only rarely will they have a 'decline all' button, it's almost always a) "Accept All" or b) "Want to Decline? then here use a complicated form that's different for every single site"
IMO after $50/bottle, Napa Valley and some French wines take a huge drop in quality. The higher-end wines are trading more on marketing and branding than on the culinary experience.
> I’m Swedish and think of this as common knowledge…

I am Canadian and it's the first time I have heard this term. I am surprised you know about this from Sweden. I knew of the Canadian term, "leave" or "leave to appeal" though.
Why do you conflate people choosing to continue working there with “taken hostage” over an h1b Visa?

Do these people have no personal agency? Sounds like some kind of a veiled attack on immigrant engineers…?

I think the process is mostly known, but the word "certiorari" is not.
I think this is one of the biggest unsolved problems with holding private keys. There needs to be some kind of recoverable key system (secret sharing) that is bulletproof and idiot proof. Hopefully something like that is possible!
"where money appears out of thin air"

This is an odd statement from someone who, I'm guessing at one point or another, said that "value depends on what everyone agrees it is"?
Red wine with sparkling lemonade is a great summer drink, an easy alternative to sangria.
> "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." -- Thomas Watson, president of IBM, 1943

He was not wrong! Its about context.

Computers were giant complex calculators that needed several highly skilled people to operate. And expensive.

Its like SpaceX saying the same thing about falcon heavy propulsion systems.

Big, dangerous, requires highly skilled personnel to operate and hella expensive.

Context!
One bizarre/amusing thing about ITS was that the login shell was the debugger, which kind of implies a lot about mindset, one way or another.

But then, so does the name "Incompatible Time Sharing" as a strong reaction against the major "Compatible Time Sharing" project.
I think the process is widely known - but I didn't know it had a random Latin name until today. Another good reason not to add jargon for easy to understand things that are better explained in three words.
Because C#, Java, etc are more familiar to most people. People tend to struggle with unfamiliar things.

Haskell is simple even if unfamiliar to you. Brainfuck is complex even if familiar to you.
That has also rung true to me in the Mediterranean. But it does make you wonder if the wine is actually so good, or it just tastes better on vacation.
AFAIK it comes down to efficient FFTs for multiplying the large numbers, which are well-suited to GPUs, and this could likely have been done a lot faster on a GPU.

I'm guessing there just isn't a good CUDA implementation out there.
Yeah, it's annoying because there is no shortage of legitimate dunk jab material. Disappointing.

I wish there were a digital (or physical) wall of shame for reporter who report unredacted falsehoods. They are spreading and amplifying misinformation for their own benefit, and then not caring.

Maybe it could encourage more accountability.
I find cheap wines to be excessively sweet, and it wouldn’t surprise me if regular people just like the taste of sugar in their food.
I dont get it what does a mint have to do with a cert?

Whatever make you happy. Happy investing.
You can generate sequential UUIDs, IIRC, that’s the best way to store them in a db and still have good partitioning/indexing. I don’t use UUIDs often, but I vaguely remember researching this problem space at some point.
Is it always 4 justices, or does it scale with the size of the court?
I'm actually intrigued with A770, not that I want to actually get one right now. But if I were to build a GPU-compute computer, it'd probably be based on the $350 16GB Intel Arc A770

A770 comes in at slightly slower than the 3070, but also with 16GB of VRAM, more space for a lot of compute problems. (Stable Diffusion, KataGo, etc. etc.) Not that I'm sure that Intel is a good GPU or that its drivers work or anything, but $350 is a good price point for experimentation...

No need to wait for Black Friday though. I don't expect GPU prices to drop. Might as well just buy it.

My nieces want some video games. I'll probably buy the new Pokemon for them.
I have sometimes speculated that the purpose of the $50 bottles is to make you think that you're being sensible by buying a $20 bottle, when really the $10 bottle is just fine. A few people will certainly buy the $50 bottle, but the real money is in upsale at the lower end.
How well do they work for embedded apps? I generally thought that the non real-time nature of python means you can’t do anything serious with python in the embedded world.

Asking as a serious question though from a genuinely curious point of view. I was thinking of rust or zig as the primary methods of moving embedded systems out of c and c++.
