Not that it literally pays the rent, but I think having a TF on your resumé is probably at least as good in a competitive job market as a top tier college diploma.
It sounds odd to me, too. The original statement from Nokia – https://www.nokia.com/about-us/news/releases/2023/10/19/insi... – doesn't use it but is rather matter of fact talking about a "reduction in personnel expenses" and the need to "protect profitability" rather than being people-led.

The Register tends to use slightly more evocative language and metaphors than most tech publications, so maybe it's a tongue in cheek reference to how robotic and unfeeling Nokia's statement sounds.

> What people don't understand though is interest payments are front-loaded.

This is completely wrong. In the U.S. at least, interest is calculated based on the remaining balance.

It is not "front loaded" at all. It's just that your balance is highest at the start of the term.

A borrower can pay down extra principal at any time if they so choose and interest (absolute, not rate) will go down the next month.

[Even if didn't notice where this article is hosted] Ah, another pitch from a company deeply interested in you using theirs product?
I agree 1000%. I've made this argument numerous times here before and always get push back. By the time you reach college, you've repeated the general education requirements several times over. Not only does it hamper your ability to 'move on' and start your career, its ridiculous to assume university systems know what makes up a 'well rounded' individual. If anything, the higher education system, and its staff, couldn't be farther from well rounded. They live in superbly isolated bubbles.

There is some unique psychology at play when it comes to defending the status quo of the US college system as well, esp. from the college educated. There's almost a holy mysticism associated with higher education. Any push to change the system, is dumbing it down, and anti-intellectual. Its always been this way, we cannot change it. I suffered through 4 years and mountain high debt, so you must as well. But ... we can discuss making it free and/or cheaper, but we cannot assume any change to the system.

My guess is the systems are overly bureaucratic and corrupt - the administrators couldn't justify their compensation packages or tuition cost with smaller/less staff. The endowments would decrease. Senior roles at universities are places for executives and politicians to coast into retirement. Not very sexy when the system is neutered. Public colleges, and some private, operate large employee unions, which offer consistent kickbacks to political campaigns.
Bob Porter : I looked into it more deeply and I found that apparently what happened is that he was laid off five years ago and no one ever told him about it; but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department, he still gets a paycheck.

Bob Slydell : So we just went ahead and fixed the glitch.

Bill Lumbergh : Great.

Dom Portwood : So, uh, Milton has been let go?

Bob Slydell : Well, just a second there, professor. We, uh, we fixed the glitch. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it'll just work itself out naturally.

Bob Porter : We always like to avoid confrontation, whenever possible. Problem is solved from your end.
In any case anyone wants to read about a EU perspective:

Over here in Germany the "trick" of doing an asset deal to get rid of employees (and any benefits they may have earned over time) is very risky, and can fire back massively.

It's not a black-and-white thing, but the labor courts have check-lists:

- Are people at the new company work on the same tasks as they did in the old one?
- Are people at the new company still using the old office space, and are seated where they were before?
- Are salaries or work contracts near-identical?
- ... and then some.

If you get a couple of "yes" here, you now are in a world of pain: In this case the whole transaction is regarded as a (not sure if that is a good translation of the German word "verdeckter Betriebsübergang") "hidden transfer of business", and you would suddenly automatically get ALL employees and benefits back, with no easy option to fire anyone afterwards. If someone had been at the previous company for 10 years, it legally would now be also have been employed for 10 years with the new company.

This is why the asset deal trick to get rid of employees is only done by very uneducated managers over here :)

There's a video of a bomb exploding. Anyway, due to the crater being directly in the middle of the courtyard https://mapy.cz/s/kazakahoha and due to prior warnings from IDF, and shellings by IDF, and the information provided by IL not making much sense, I simply think, just like the doctors in the hospital itself, that this was intentional and done by IDF. Probably meant just as an even more "strongly worded" threat to evacuate, gone wrong. (when previous shelling didn't work) Kinda makes sense to target the bomb in the courtyard in such a scenario instead of at the hospital.

I mean accidents can happen, but anyone thinking that hospital that was repeatedly warned, including by shelling, and refused to evacuate regardless, would just be left alone and had an accident the next day with a bomb falling exactly in the middle of the courtyard, just stretches credulity.

Weird blog post. Yes POSIX mostly sucks and is outdated, but what has this to do with storage systems? POSIX is not some magic portability pixie dust which makes your code automatically work across platforms, especially when Windows is one of the target platforms.

There is no guarantee that it will, but...

case #1. If you truly have something custom IP, we could save time/effort by only chipletizing that part rather than working on the while SoC. The design and verification is an exponential function with respect to complexity(#blocks, die size). We can turn RTL into a 2mm x 2mm brick fairly easily.It would require a fab shuttle/mask sets though.

case #2. Depends on huw much power goes to the PL vs other functions. For PL dominated FPGAs that you fill up to the brim, our only value would be to help like in case #1. For multi chip solutions (FPGA + CPU) with small amounts of PL, a corretly designed small catalog of off the shelf chiplet approach wins.

I think it's unfortunate that this comment is being downvoted because it underscores an important transition regarding university education in the US. At some point, the focus of college changed from that of understanding and contributing to culture to one geared to vocation. (I put the start around the Morrill Land Grant Act in the mid-1800s). If you go back a few decades, surveys showed the main goal of students was to "develop a philosophy of life." Now it's to "find a good job." And before people say it's because of a change of demographics, the largest influx of working-class students came after WWII and they still tended toward the former outlook for a few decades. I'm not saying it's good or bad, but we should probably take note of that change and the consequences of it.

10 employees, 18 investors. You have to consider VC backed open source to be only temporarily OSS. The project almost certainly will be forced to go commercial and become partially or fully closed. Saying "we're open source" is only half true when you're actually just using OS as bait to get people to alpha test your commercial project.

I'm usually against abbreviations, simply because there's always someone who doesn't understand what it means.

Scratch wasn’t my first “encounter” per say, but I did write my first non-trivial program with scratch. Everything else before that was just tinkering.

In high school (2010s) I was familiar with programming from the outside in. I remember knowing that Ruby on Rails was a big thing. I had tried to learn ruby a handful of times and got lost in the process. I was super excited about wine because it helped me play boot leg video games on my old MacBook. I liked to try and read about how wine worked, but it was way over my head.

Enter scratch: the first real program I wrote was a scratch game in a high school computer science class called “glub run”! It was a little Mario like side scroller in which a little green blob (the glub) would run along the and try to get little coins.

It was a lot of work to get it all setup, and definitely went way beyond what was expected of us for the class, but I just had so much fun with it! Building a whole interactive 2d world from just a bunch of linear gui code blocks was mind bending to me. To be honest, the block based gui code was more of a hindrance than a help.

That was pretty much the extent of my time with scratch, we quickly moved to using a canned version of Java with some other little GUI attached. To be honest, it took me a long time to write another program of that same complexity as glub run. Maybe it was my magnum opus.

Why was scratch so great:
Reflecting on it now, the best advantage of scratch was that there was no setup involved. You just clicked new and were off and going! (This is what I imagine BASIC was back in the day). Every other programming language had way too much fluff around it that made it really hard to get started. You needed a system for managing dependencies, you needed a system for managing versions of the language, then everyone said you needed all these libraries to go with the language. As a beginner, it was a total non-starter. For the longest time, I didn’t understand where the lines were between the language, the framework, and the tooling. Scratch avoided all of that and let you actually just build a program!

So even though I never returned to it, scratch is where the rubber hit the road for me so to speak! First time I had that feeling that I could actually create something novel with software! Been happily programming for the petter part of the last decade since!
I don't know. Consider:

1. We have no idea if S3 uses POSIX to do file IO at the base. By now it wouldn't be surprising if it doesn't, and handles block storage itself bypassing the kernel. The S3 API is more restrictive and so you can probably optimize by not using kernel filesystems. Even Ceph does this now (BlueStore writes directly to flash devices bypassing existing file systems).

2. S3 API and POSIX file IO aren't that different. They certainly aren't dealing with radically different concepts. The differences are more to do with the difficulties of supporting the full featureset in a distributed and performant manner.

S3 is different because it needs/wants to be fully stateless, whereas POSIX is fundamentally stateful (the file descriptor, current directory, etc). It's willing to suffer less efficiency on each procedure call to get that statelessness. And it avoids operations that require strong consistency such as true directories, mtimes, read-after-write, then tosses some stuff that isn't important if you're just storing files like the UNIX DACL permissions.

But ultimately, they're both storing files. The differences are fairly minor.
Ok I tried so many times to watch this after so many people recommended but I just can’t get it! There are some parts I feel the jokes. Most of the time, I’m clueless about why they are even funny. Is this just the culture difference between the old Brits and American?

This is what keeps me saying I love programming. I do it professionally as well but am burnt out and tired of the job. However, in my free time, I still fall down obsessive rabbit holes writing weird little apps that modify an image in a unique way or a wave file or modding one of my favorite games.

A lot of times I don't have the energy for it since I spend all day doing it but I got into development because I wanted the freedom to make my computer do whatever I wanted not for the cash. I taught myself as a child, well before I even cared about making money. I just wish there was something else as lucrative. I'd love to switch careers but I'm not willing to give up the income.
