They spent years being 1-2 process nodes ahead of everyone else with excellent execution. Anyone within the organization trying to sound alarm bells would have been silenced or ignored... after all they pulled the rabbit out of the hat so many times before, why would this one be different?

As for specifics I doubt we'll get many. Chip manufacturing is famously super-secretive and has a culture of not discussing the details - even for old process nodes.
"the interest on your debt is always higher than any return on any hypothetical investment you might make with savings (which you can never justify allocating)."

This wouldn't necessarily be the case if poor people had access to 401(k)s with matching contributions. But even when they do have "access" to investment accounts it's really rare to have matching contributions of any kind.

And yeah, even if they had it they still couldn't necessarily afford to pay into it.

When I finally had excess income I got a guaranteed ~10% rate of return by paying off my credit card debt. And that's what I did instead of investing. (That, and buying a new mattress.)
“A warm man can never understand a cold man.” From “one day in the life of Ivan D.”

Telling poor people to simply make better choices is downright shameful. Close though is the “effective altruism” crap when it goes so far that even holocausts can be excused. We should be trying to make the current moment sustainable and better for all. Aim for giving people enough stability to actually make decent decisions before worrying about petty things and far off futures.
Amazon used to emply Udi Manber, who literally wrote the book on search. Yet it still doesn't offer basic search features every search engine has had for years, like using quotes for phrases, the plus sign to require a phrase to be present in the search result, or the minus sign to exclude keywords or phrases from search results. That's by design.

Amazon search is so useless that about half the time I use DuckDuckGo to search Amazon itself.
Tesla does not have objectively better hardware in terms of performance (Porsche), efficiency (GM), or range (Lucid).

It does have the objectively worst built cars at every price point they sell.

This is such a simplified viewpoint. The UK has never been able to collect more than 39%-40% of GDP in taxes. And that's what the level is at now. Already everyone is paying as much tax as in history. (and the "rich" pay a lot of that, remember you pay £0 tax under £15,000 income per year).

You can try and tax more, but it's highly unlikely to work based on past experience. And in these cases, like with corporation tax, usually the government actually collects more tax revenue at 20% than at 30%. So again, I'd prefer factual taxation, not virtue signalling.

What's the solution here to get more in taxes?

To my best knowledge there is no benefit in low doses of alcohol.

The trick to make that visible was to exclude all those people who never drank any alcohol due to previous alcohol related health reason from the studies.

That increased health in the group of tee totaleres to such an extend that all seeming benefits of alcohol vanished.
Zoning density is based partially on supporting infrastructure. If low density suddenly becomes higher density, will the roads be able to handle the additional vehicles/trips? Probably not, so who will cover costs to improve the roads so individuals can build multiple townhomes in their property?

What a food critic reviews (the food, the service, the ambience) is analogous to the user-facing Twitter experience, which you don't need to be a programmer to review. What a chef does to create that dining experience (sourcing ingredients, planning menus, organizing the kitchen) is analogous to what programmers are doing, and that's not something you can usefully critique without relevant experience.

In any case, I wouldn't really trust a food critic who couldn't cook. But even the greatest home cook is not a chef.

I've just remembered that while having our second child the nurse couldn't get the monitoring in the nursing station due to one of these clips. The ethernet socket was quite high up the wall so the weight of the cable was handing from the slightly broken clip. Thankfully even in my frazzled state I was able to suggest turning the cable around end for end so that the one with a good tab was plugged into the wall.

Pay for them or package them yourself. The nerve of being angry at people giving you their work for free and having the *audacity* of thinking you should have access to their real name, personal websites, LinkedIn and GitHub account.

The level of entitlement dripping from your comment is disgusting.

The issue here is that power among people tends to concentrate rather than diffuse. CEOs are comped disproportionately because the top 1% have an exceptionally better network and power structure over others. Why? Because people bandwagon onto known entities.

There’s a similar phenomenon with authors, actors, and musicians. A-list actors command an order of magnitude more in compensation over B-list because they have concentrated a much stronger hold over an audience.

This isn’t only true of “celebrity” CEOs like Jobs, Musk, etc. CEOs can develop their own mini fiefdoms of celebrity within a niche industry. This network and power gives them access to opportunities that can be pivotal to the success of a company.

I think in order to equalize exec pay, you’d need to figure out how to stop the bandwagoning that consolidates exec power.

My hell has been living with ADHD and undiagnosed autism and CPTSD/PTSD and addiction in an addiction-oriented ableist society. I lucked out on addiction, cause i got addicted to gathering/hoarding/consuming/analyzing/problem identifying/ problem solving/synthesizing information early on in life. Every addiction builds superpowers and most of mine are around metacognition. Recovery for me meant a very broad view of addiction and recovery were needed, since we ARE information. My recovery is an un-compiled/-published case study in addiction with unique and meaningful contributions to the field. Looking forward to doing that work once i get my family stabilized in a supportive community (anarchistically nurturing a new person means throwing out a lot of parenting guidance and can be very brutal without a like-minded community in close proximity, and takes my whole day practically every day). And I thoroughly enjoy my life as it is. We're working to start a carnival dedicated to learning to confront and heal through trauma and it means building a community of people normalizing loving intimate relationships through openly practicing vulnerability.

It wasn't just VBScript - one could use any language that registered its interpreter with Windows Scripting Host, though VBScript was the most popular due to being one of the two options shipped with the OS (the other was JScript, a javascript implementation).

I have at the very least seen WSH support in glory days of ActivePerl, I think ActivePython and ActiveTCL included that as well. There was also I think a REXX implementation available.

Also, the same approach of using COM for everything is continued in PowerShell and generally all new Windows APIs - a lot of stuff in PowerShell is thin wrappers (if at all) over COM APIs, and you can definitely call custom COM objects as well.
Thank you all so much for making this space on the internet one of the best places to learn and share knowledge.

eBay is actually legit a good source for quality items. You can see actual seller ratings, how much the seller sells and specific item feedback. The returns / refund process is dead simple and flawless as well. The only issue is that none of the processes are as quick as Amazon. Shipping is slower and if you need to do a return it can take like 3 days to get the label.
Amazon will promote sellers who use their fulfilment service over those who DIY.

If only there was some form of large market close by that the UK could be a member of so that the UK could trade with them in a frictionless manner and expand the economies of both areas through trade. That would increase the GDP and hence the amount of money the government could have available to it through taxation.

But I don't think there is anything like that around. I mean, if there was, why the hell wouldn't they be lining up to become a member of it? There's only upside there.
Python was conceived as teaching language, continuation of the ideas behind ABC. I recall at least one public row between BDFL and the rest due to Guido calling on that legacy as reasoning for why negative hex numbers should be written like -0x1 instead of one's complement that a lot of people seemed to prefer for technical reasons.

IoT stuff is the easiest stuff to understand when it comes to high-volume data processing because it's a wide problem (ie: you have a whole lot of devices sending data continuously) instead of a deep problem (you have a few sources sending lots of data continuously).

IoT tends to talk more about HA (high availability) etc than more 'normal' architecture books, because it's about practical solutions.

I can't think of any right now (I looked on my bookshelf and it looks like the book was lent out). But any IoT architecture book will give you the basics.

Then maybe go look at the introductions to storm/kafka/spark.
Programming probably has a better shot at this happening if programming can be automated more.

DSLs for operating systems might be easier to write with programming languages that have higher-order unification – meaning that they can automatically piece together programs to fill out the meaning of one smaller word that has a complex, concise meaning – and totality checking, which means that given subprograms can be known to run to completion. And first-class types. (Dependently typed languages.)

This combination allows for tightly controlled and deterministic automation of programming, which is especially useful for getting rid of boilerplate code, conversion between formats, serialization and deserialization – and the maintenance of this kind of code… when all targets are moving targets due to many pieces of software that change from day to day. As found in things as complex and arbitrary as operating systems.

Anything can be overcome, humans can do anything (get out of poverty, convert to healthy living, run marathons, stop smoking....) yet the majority (of a huge sample size of humans) is stuck in their way, held down by environmental conditions and, if you will, by limits in the human condition or whatever. If it could be fixed by telling people to "try harder" they would have by now, no?

The answer is to alleviate the environmental conditions. You have mentioned in another post that you have benefitted from food stamps for a while (did I understand that right?), allowing you to eat healthy; other people need that and maybe a little additional help with food, housing and clothing (all of it basic human rights anyway and relatively cheap to provide for in a modern society) to reduce the pressure and higher order effects of not having that safety net.
One thing to remember that's surprisingly important is to understand how the upstream people are using your data. The shape of data in your datastore should match what upstream the consumers need.

The more it matches their use cases the less work it'll be to transform the data. Transformation == work == time.
1. In the winter trees don’t freeze solid, and firewood burn rate has an inverse relationship to log diameter.

2. Wood durability (species and quality being equal) depends on cyclical moisture exposure. Submerged timber can remain intact for centuries. In the rain forest the same wood might rot in a few decades.

From a construction standpoint, the glass in the house would dominate the conductive heat losses of the wall assembly.

From a maintenance standpoint, one piece of old wood is fungible with a new piece and two 2x4’s properly nailed together are stronger than a single 4x4…that’s why light frame construction uses double top plates, jack studs, etc.

Aesthetically the potential for patina is a reason an architect might choose wood finishes.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but this was in fall of 2020 and I have not regained the weight. I still eat mostly keto, probably closer to an average of 1600 kcal/d now (I don't count calories anymore), and don't use the appetite suppressants anymore either, except for when I have a ton of work, maybe once a month average. I initially regained 20 pounds in the 6 months following the diet thanks to some rebound junk food, but it came back off once I got back to eating healthy.

Keto naturally leads me to lots of largely unprocessed whole foods. Eggs, cheese, chicken, milk, some red meat, butter, etc - organic / cage free / free range / not treated with hormones, of course.
Very nice, but the EU is probably going to decline in GDP more than the UK, and the euro could potentially collapse due to the Italy situation in the next few years.
