Oh, it is no secret, I believe everyone lives well with this approach - it is a tacit understanding, I think. Customers work hard to bring initial cost down as far as possible, even bringing up in contract negotiations that 'Hell, you'll make this back in service, anyway!' - seeing as when said is said, done is done, the equipment is installed and doing its thing - having downtime is so expensive that no matter what our service rates are, it is money well spent.

Anecdotally, I once was in Rio de Janeiro just wrapping up some service work on a vessel in the Guanabara bay (Fine-tuning a number of variable frequency drives had puzzled one of our FSEs no end, so I was called out from engineering to see if I could make it work out).

Anyway, a service request came in from a vessel also in the bay; rather than waiting for the home office to wake up and process it, I asked the crew on the ship I was departing from to simply zip me over to the vessel in question; less than fifteen minutes after they had reached out for help, I was on board and started looking into it.

They insisted on paying the $5,000-ish fee we usually charge to send someone from Norway to Brazil, despite my being just half a mile away - as they had expected it to be at least two days before someone could arrive; instead, they were back on-hire again in less than two _hours_.
I see Java/Kotlin as a secret weapon for startups. Too often I read about startups that struggle with immature libraries, smaller eco systems and reinventing basic functionality. Problems that they would not have if they chose a mature technology.

These blog posts mentions a company that has to write their own database library, auth services or other basic functionality. Sometimes they fix so many issues with the core language that they become close partners with the core developers of the programming language. I can't help wonder if the competition also reads the post and just smiles before they go back to actually solving a business problem. To me it's a symptom of choosing the wrong stack, even though working on non-business related problems may be more rewarding to the individual.

It's why I much prefer the Arduino platform. It doesn't depend on using a very specific chip that can suffer a shortage or be monopolized by the manufacturer.

It's an ecosystem that can use several families of chips, from 8 bit AVRs to 32 bit ARMs. The Arduino code you find online will most likely work on either one, as the most used low level functionality (timers, GPIO, etc.) are abstracted by a high level API that will work on any microcontroller supported by the Arduino IDE.

The RaspbeeryPi ecosystem is too tightly coupled to that very specific Broadcom chip family, which gives them and the RaspberryPI foundation, a powerful monopoly.
This is what Twitter used to be - I would log in, scroll down until I had seen all updates since I last checked and then left the app. This was, however, before you got tweets in your feed from people you don’t follow (outside of retweets)
Conceptually, these are all variations of the same thing. The difference is in how you use them and how much boiler plate you need to use them.

Funnily enough, the first versions of Java did not support OS threads and only had green threads for a while. Supporting real threads was a big deal at the time as it allowed you to use more than 1 processor. Of course, processors were single core at the time and most computers only had one of those anyway. Java 1.1 laid the foundations for proper multi threading and green thread support was eventually removed with Java 1.3. With Java 1.5 we got the java.concurrent package which enabled doing more complicated things with locks and other synchronization primitives that were a bit less primitive & brittle than using the synchronized & volatile keywords. That includes implementing green threads on top of real threads. Which is what frameworks like vert.x and others have been doing for ages.

So, in a way we're coming full circle here with virtual threads re-using the thread API, which in turn reused the original green thread APIs in Java 1.0.
The second hand and refurbished market remains the best option, regardless of the form factor. You can get a more powerful, multicore, perfectly functionnal laptop, desktop or minipc with 4GB of memory or more for 100usd/€ while the pi price do not drop as much. In most case battery will be dead on the laptops but many people stick with old laptops with dead batteries for years and just use them as portable plugged desktop because they don't want to spend the money on a new computer.

Raspberry pi are really only interesting if you want to stick to the small form factor and the usually come without screens and keyboards.

EDIT: raised price from 50 to 100€ as a quick search only showed netbooks and laptop with 1 or 2GB of ram for 50€ in a 10km radius. In 2 minutes I found a Thinkpad T420 with crappy screen resolution 1366x768.

> The word property encompasses more than just what sales tax laws apply to, no? For example, I'd consider an old-school physical stock certificate a kind of property, and subject to theft laws but not sales tax.

Sure, but then you're either saying that cryptocurrencies are securities (not commodities), and to be regulated as such, or you want to harmonize laws on commodities and securities.

So your analogy with jeans is not very clear to me. Cryptocurrency (a security?) is just like jeans (a commodity)?

> I'm just pushing back against this idea that private sector money must exist outside of the law and outside of the justice system—because the anarchy approach is clearly absurd.

I entirely agree with this. But like I said cryptocurrencies try to play a language game to avoid being classified as anything that's currently regulated, in order to be as unregulated as possible.

E.g. the reason people use bitcoin instead of western union to send money (to the extent that they do) boils down to the laws that exist to prevent, investigate, and "reverse" crimes. The laws were written such that they can be enforced by the (needed) middleman. Bitcoin doesn't (for this transaction) require a middleman, so the law, the implementation of the intention, doesn't fit well.

But people who call this "savings" are ignoring why the law exists. There was never an intention to punish or burden western union. It was an intention to safeguard (or track, or whatever) the movement of money.

…or commodities, or securities, or whatever a given cryptocurrency should be classified as.

I agree that theft is theft. But movement of financial instruments and commodities is also already covered by the law.

In some countries your primary home is exempt from capital gains (or taxed lower than capital gains). But that doesn't mean that you can take your physical stock certificates, stack them in the form of a shed, sell it, and thus avoid capital gains. Yet this is basically what cryptocurrencies try to do, all while saying that they're "more efficient". It's not, it's just word games.
Interesting. I've never worked in a completely tech-led company before, but it seems like a good approach. My philosophy on it has changed a little: I used to think PM should be embedded in technical teams writing tickets, à la Scrum Product Owners, but now I think things function better when the team writes its tickets, and the PM works at a more general level: features, direction, marketing, legal, regulatory, etc etc.
It is sad and I doubt they will return to their root any time soon now that they are half a unicorn.

I have to do the same thing. If I spend too much time on everything else, I procrastinate on the hard stuff until I've wasted too much time. If I start with the hard stuff, I'm a lot more motivated and productive. That doesn't mean I'm not often paying a lot of attention to the overall design of the code and where/how things are being called. I'll often step up and down the layers to refractor and improve the code surrounding what I'm working on, since that code often has a big effect on how I can implement my changes.

However, I'm also in a lucky position where I'm not responsible for the UI or any customer facing stuff. My users are internal services that interface with my APIs, which rarely need to be changed.

Using shares to gain control of someone elses corp and steal their stuff is an extremely old scam. Like, it was very well understood some 15 years ago. The mechanics haven't changed.

I don't remember the details well, it was a long time ago, but there was a step by step guide to stealing a corp away. You had to have roles. I got them via the standard alliance recruitment "need a temp director to run a full corp check via api". Believable, and 24 hours later the corp was mine along with all its assets (a lot less than this).

> If you make $149/hr, it's cheaper for you to pay the quoted cost.

If you're salaried at Google for 40 hours/week with no paid overtime and no side gigs allowed, the median value of your time is $149/hr but the marginal price is $0/hr because working an extra hour doesn't make you any extra money.

I suspect farming is similar - it's not like you can take that free hour, add 4 square feet to your field and produce $149 more wheat.
>It is likely has something to do with the layoffs which can cause many to become highly emotional of all their reasoning.

It's just the pendulum finally swinging the other way (as was foretold) and the people concerned becoming appalled with the realization they now have to drink their own kool-aid.

It's not unlike what happened when journalists, who told people who lost their jobs to go and "learn to code", were told to go and "learn to code" when they in turn lost their jobs.

Basically, these people can dish out but can't take.

Any smart bystander who witnesses these things would do well to take away the need for prudence in one's statements and desires. The pendulum swings with absolute apathy.
Indeed. Nor does it mention any place, extension or addition where a scheme could be defined.
I guess the idea is that you don't have to write tasks explicitly - if you have a sequence of actions you can just write it as a regular code, and the runtime will automatically insert points where your code might be suspended waiting for IO or other threads.
no idea but if you asked me what I would want it to do is tensors for GPT and DL image processing inference and if possible training (so I can at least finetune a pretrained model)
Coincidently my grandfather was replacing a clutch in a Case tractor when I was at the family farm over Christmas. Little older (I believe from the 80s), but probably not that different since you mentioned splitting. The transmission forms part of the structure of the tractor, so replacing the clutch meant the tractor was literally in 2 pieces, each supported by block and tackle in the farm shop. It was odd seeing such a big machine split in half like that.

My grandfather spent his career working on heavy machinery for a government agency and then in retirement has been maintaining all the farm equipment for my uncle. In the summer I helped him replace the complex system of belts in a hay baler. He’s in his mid 80s and was crawling around inside the machine. My job was just to stand there and keep the belt from twisting.

No. Both type erasure and monomorphization have always been legitimate ways to compile generic code. IIRC, the issue with Java is that type erasure is sometimes a leaky abstraction.

> JavaScript is an interpreted language. While running Javascript an interpreter interprets each line and runs it. The modern browser uses Just In Time (JIT) technology for compilation, which compiles JavaScript into executable bytecode.

This in the intro can't be of much use. Sure, it's an introductory book, but this isn't a correct simplification. Is JavaScript run by an interpreter or a compiler now? The quote can't decide; and the final stage of JavaScript JITs tends to be machine code too. I know there's often both (with interpreter for cold code, compiler for hot code); but given the level of the rest of the intro, throwing terms like "interpreted", "just in time", "compilation" and "bytecode" which haven't been defined would only lead to confusion, nor are they too relevant.

Posted prices here in the US are complete bullshit, as any medical code transcriber could tell you, or indeed anyone who's been to a US hospital and had to pay out of pocket.

I once went to the emergency room at 1am. It was almost empty, no one walking the floors, but still took them 4 hours to get to me.

They never checked my vitals or my weight, the doctor looked down my throat with a wooden stick, gave me one generic 200mg ibuprofen and sent me on my way.

My bill was $3500.

Their reasoning when I fought it? 'we only have very generalized codes and that's how we determine what to charge.

Literally did nothing but waste my time and charged me 3500 for the privilege.

I told them they wouldn't see a dime and I'd happily see them in court over it (no idea if I could even take them to court but I was beyond pissed).

Bill was dropped to 250,which to me was still outrageous for a freaking ibuprofen (dollar store knockoff brand to boot!).

Over one dollar per milligram of OTC medicine.

This was now 15 years ago and the prices have done nothing but increase since.

I don't know if you'd consider this to be part of the same triangle, but one exception I've found is when _waiting to start_ makes something cheaper.

E.g. waiting until someone else makes something so you don't need to make it yourself, waiting for some new technology to become cheaper before jumping on it, waiting until an opportunity cost isn't as high, etc.
Well the Raspberry Pi and Arduino are two different kinds of computers. When you need a full Linux system Raspberry Pi is great. For embedded applications Arduino is handy.

But there is now the RP2040, a processor from Raspberry Pi that works well in most Arduino-like applications. It has a lot of very powerful features! And what’s interesting is that last time I checked this, it was the most in stock processor at Digikey (to pick one vendor as an example). The stock numbers for the RP2040 are very high, and I suspect it will never experience a shortage.

The RP2040 and its dev board the Raspberry Pi Pico don’t depend on Broadcom and they’re wonderful chips. If you do a lot of Arduino I highly recommend checking it out!

There is nothing realistic about this statement. What useful notice period and what alternate designs (that were magically not impacted) would those companies have been able to use? We had, and are still suffering from, a GLOBAL semiconductor shortage. The GLOBAL supply chain fell over.

I would expect the charity arm continues it's work with kids and schools. The focus of this article is Raspberry Pi Ltd, a for-profit computer company.

It is sad they split the company up and the roots are gone but it makes sense if they are to grow and continue producing their own chips/boards/peripherals, hopefully without Broadcom.

That's what SIG is claiming. Yet lower in the article:

Assuming negligence on an individual cases makes sense. Happens. When you've got a cluster of reports centered around one specific model and there is evidence of said model firing without trigger being pressed...that's a lot of smoke to be insisting there can't be a fire
