If there’s contrary research showing housing prices specifically lead to emigration I’d love to learn more. It’s not representative of any narratives I’ve heard in media or in my personal life.

I could see how a higher COL and needing to work crazy hours is seeing more families delay children and/or having fewer children. But that’s a little more general than “expensive housing” and not something I’ve heard as even a thing for America expats, except those nearing retirement age. So maybe it could be Boomers choosing to retire abroad which could explain it but I haven’t seen this en masse in enough ways to make me believe it could be realistic.
I'd love to use Firefox, but I've been missing three (subjectively, for me) important features:

1. vertical tabs (now happening, yay!)

2. either tab grouping or workspaces (brave/edge vs. vivaldi style)

3. easy sync-and-restore of tabs/groups/workspaces across my devices

Do you know of a good solution for 2 and more importantly, 3?

I agree, take an internal which is able to abstract and understand logistics and your niche and combine the person with a lead engineer/team you hire. Send the internal on some PO, scrum and requirement engineering trainings. The lead engineer can then also fix the quality and process issues your internal has.

Like that you can start relatively quickly compared to hiring someone and make them understand your business

Yeah, one of the things I didn't like about this analysis is that it really didn't do a very good job of differentiating between a band that really is a "one hit wonder" and a band that may only be in the top 40 for a short time but still has a dedicated following and is able to make a good, long career of it.

Take his "prototypical example" of Of Monsters and Men. I am glad that he did mention that the band "has enjoyed continued success since their 2012 breakout", but as a big fan of this band, I'd say they have a really dedicated following. I think in their case they were more of the "quirky band shoots has an immensely mainstream popular single, then goes back to being a quirky band, just with a much bigger following".

Rather than just look at placement in the top 40, which is only going to be songs that have wide applicability and are usually heavily promoted, I think it's more applicable to see how long these folks can have a career in music. As another example, think of someone like Andre 3000. Sure, he may never surpass his fame from Outkast's "Hey Ya" in 2003, but he's been working prominently for 30 years.
We must have played different games/consoles. Maybe your reference point is Atari 2600, in which case I’d agree with you.

But NES/SNES, and other consoles that followed are far from “torture”. I’ve gone back and played — and enjoyed — some of these games even recently.

Sure some of them lack polish, and don’t handhold you to learn the game — that’s what the manuals were for!

But my son, who just turned 17, played through — and beat — several NES games a couple years ago and had a blast (SMB 1-3, and Mega Man 1-3).
I guess I should have explained more - he also plays minecraft on the xbox, he just chooses to play NES games with me. I think those two consoles are enough, but I've offered the switch when he finishes Mario.

But I guess even outside the home he's been exposed to other consoles via his friends, and their parents. I'm certainly not holding him back and forcing him to play weird/old games alone!
I used to run the Singapore and Seattle offices for Pivotal Labs and helped a couple of companies build in-house teams to do exactly this.

My first question is to check the basic economics:

$2-300M in annual revenue, ~15% margins, you’re probably looking at earnings/profits around $30-45M. Building and running your own software team is probably around $5M/year, which feels like it could be a substantial hit to your margins. Is there a clear story for how this software will allow you grow to $300-500M in revenue or more? I like to have a credible story for 5-10x ROI on software development because the costs end up being so variable and uncertain.

Then the trick is figuring out how to hire, train, and establish a productive environment for the team. My customers approach was to hire a vendor [Pivotal Labs] to ship a first release and help hire in-house staff to replace vendor roles until the team was fully in-house. The customer got rapid feedback that the team and concept worked; we shipped working software. The new hire landed into a productive context, and could see that the company had an effective approach to software development (because it was already shipping working software).
Wait 'till he discovers beds in the nether...
Good point to ask -- I meant any "CPU Only" technology company.

Personally what Intel should have shifted to was owning and building all the Fabs.

Sure they have them and are building them etc... but they missed the timing a bit.

I dont follow them close enough any longer - but they really should have gone all in on being the US TSMC... rather than the bit of catchup they are in...

They arent going anywhere (the birth of Intel from Fairchild was in Missle circuits - and the US War Leviathan will always have intel circuits in the big-ticket items. Forever.

Secret of Mana holds a special place in my heart, but really needs the Turbo romhack to really enjoy. The great thing about this romhack, is that it’s multiple hacks gathered into a system that allows easily activating or deactivating the parts you want: https://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=27890.0
If you decide to do it in house, make sure the team spends a lot of time understanding the existing app, inside and out, before they start coding the new one. You really don't want to be "agile" here as you are replicating an existing system.
Have you thought about investing in the third party provider? Getting a share might give you a say on where development should go and what support requests get resolved first.
It’s not just sensors. It’s mainly to avoid it falsely applying itself. In my opinion, that is far more dangerous because it’s wildly unpredictable when it will work as expected vs when it toque vector.

I can get the torque vectoring to do some weird things, kind the right conditions on my car. It’s okay because I’m intentionally pushing the limits, but I absolutely would not want the vectoring to kick in when I’m not expecting it.

ultimately it was a focus on marketing that led them to kill engineering

(if itanium and the many failures and lucky breaks that led up to it hadn't already convinced you that intel might never have had good engineering)
No, my point is that it's irrelevant whether they're underperforming or not; what matters for WARN purposes is the amount of workers being laid off.

Only for-cause terminations are excluded the WARN Act, and for-cause in this context means specifically behavior that violates the law, or the employee handbook setting forth company rules (which are binding on both the company and employee, which is why companies make you read them every year). Also note that companies can't make poor performance a violation of company rules; this has been tried before and smacked down pretty harshly even in right-to-work states.

Thus, those 5% laid off due to stack ranking are entitled to 60 days of severance, or 60 days notice of an impending termination.
Sure, but surely you agree that migration within a country and between countries are massively different undertakings and that things that impact one are less likely to impact the other?
I'm not involved with the project but I'd assume it's helpful as a reference implementation. If there's a bug on a non-nvidia GPU, the same test case can be run on Nvidia GPUs to see if the bug is in common code or specific to that GPU vendor.
> what, IYO, is the meme here? The rent to income ratio is not remotely disputable

It... is. You said it had a certain value. I disputed that and gave numbers.

> Are you claiming that a 1:2 rent to income ratio in a high cost of living state is actually fine?

No, I'm claiming it's not 1:1, which is what you said the first time. Also that it's not outrageously out of scale with the rest of the country (which pays less rent but makes significantly less) or historical data (housing used to be cheaper, but only by about 30% over 50 years or thereabouts).

The "meme" is basically that The Economy Is Terrible And We Are Going To Hell In A Handbasket. And that's wrong. Something are more expensive, housing among them. Other things (travel, entertainment) are much cheaper. And as those tradeoffs change (slowly) the demographic distributions change (slowly). There's nothing new here, this is how things have always worked.

Your great great grandparents moved west in caravans for precisely the same reason: real estate was cheaper in the frontier!
I think that’s an excellent suggestion tbh (and could meetmy two criteria as well) and someone may well do that.

The thing they want seems perfectly reasonable to me and wouldn’t only benefit the kernel.
Do you have adjustable drive modes?

When I put my car into sport mode, it does nearly 50/50 power application. When it’s in normal or eco, it will put 80% of the load on the front tires, then only increase rear tire load as needed.

They are only moving because AMD is finally providing that competition, but it's not fair to say that "if only AMD had gotten their act together sooner, intel would be a better comapny."

Ultimately, intel chose to let intel rot while AMD was out of the picture. (ignoring that intel's backroom deals with Dell and co. are a big part of what pushed AMD out)
> Again though, sponsored clubs for a particular gender are a luxury good.

I think my point here is that a company-sponsored women in tech club is actually not that expensive and deliberately created to co-opt what would otherwise be a collective interest. It is certainly less expensive than giving concessions to women. That is the calculation. Imagine if women with children had organized and collectively refused RTO. Now you’re looking at either caving or finding replacements, depending on the feasibility of firing them.

> it is Men vs. Women in this completely fabricated war on tech

I agree, it isn’t men vs. women. It is various interest groups vs. management. One of those interest groups happens to be parents who take care of kids. Corporate friendly “glass ceiling” framing only came later to redirect attention away from management.

None of this is to say RTO wasn’t a burden for men either.

I can't say whether the X boycott was illegal. However, the guidelines and activities do seem to be a knd of censorship. Some central organization saying: "don't advertise there, they have wrongthink".

No there isn't. Let's take pytorch as an example.

CUDA is an API. OpenCL is an API. Pytorch is not.

Pytorch is very firmly GLUED to CUDA. It will probably NEVER support anything else beyond token inference on mobile devices. The only reason Pytorch supports AMD at all is because of AMD's "I can't beleive it's not CUDA" HIP translation layer.

OpenCL is a real cross-platform API and with 3.0 it's finally "good" and coincidentally, intel is....half-heartedly interested in it, except they're shooting themselves in the foot by trying to also cover useless CPUs for inference/training and spreading themselves too thin (OneAPI). Because all intel can think about are CPUs. Everything must drive sales of CPUs.

At this rate just about the only think that might save us from CUDA is rusticl. If a real, full-fat, high-quality openCL 3.0 driver sudently popped into existence on every GPU platform under the sun, maybe pytorch et al could finally be convinced to give a shit about an API other than CUDA.
> I'm an executive at a mid-sized logistics company (~200 employees, $200-300M annual revenue) getting more and more frustrated with our software situation and am considering taking software development in-house.

Would be good to know what kind of margin you have on that revenue. Software development is expensive and if this project will eat a substantial part of your profits it may be hard to see it through. One of the major pitfalls you want to avoid of course is spending a ton of money, but not enough to get a meaningful (in-house) product out of it.

> We're using a third-party product that functions, but barely. The provider is understaffed and unresponsive and the platform is stagnant. It's a fight getting basic bugs fixed let alone new features implemented. We're having to resort to a separate low-code platform to fill in the gaps. Our business operates in a specific niche and there are no other providers who cater specifically to our industry.

I’d start with trying to find out why this provider is understaffed, unresponsive and stagnant. Is it just a bad business they are in? If so then you run the risk of investing substantial capital in replicating their bad business in-house, except at least initially with only one customer (you). But it could also be that this is a cash cow product for them and their focus is elsewhere.

Another question that may be clarifying: How much are you currently paying for this software, and would you be willing to pay x times more if it was well adapted to your needs? (Because you probably will be paying a lot more.)

An even bigger question worth pondering: Could you do your business differently if you had your own software? Really successful companies today typically don’t build software that fits their business, they build businesses that “fits software” (in the sense that they can be highly automated and optimized through software).

The growing threat to undersea Internet cables
Assuming good faith, they don't do that because they are kernel developers not compiler developers, and they want it to build on the compilers that real systems have at hand.

If somebody proposed a new extension and got llvm and gcc to both implement it today, they would still need something to work on old compilers. The oldest GCC supported by Linux is 10 years old nearly.

i believe that for slack they went with that because they wanted to show that this is the most productive thing any organization can own, and in organization, its mostly the decesion makers who would initiate the idea of using slack in the company and i guess the tagline is more directed towards those type of people.

That's not double much, but mostly a comparably list of issues

You can block updates on Windows as well, and of course Mac updates get in your way with that "update" badge you can't get rid off.

Mac changed the whole preferences layout that you can't even resize, so much for user respect in the good consistent UI stack. Inconsistent is better if the consistency is bad. The one benefit Mac has is it looks nicer

Also, when was the last time the great UI of a text file for default shortcuts updated on a Mac? Or where is that XP-style "registry" editor that's bad, but better than nothing?

Edge: Mac has a much more important app forced on you more forcefully - that dumb file manager. Or
forcing some file provider nonsense on your Dropbox obscuring your precious files.

Ads: that's just a common hyperbole, outside of the new install garbage you clean once, where is it "everywhere"?

Store: it doesn't install, shortcut isn't it, but also, on Windows it's easier to completely remove the pre-installed system apps compared to the newer macos where it's part of the locked blessed "never touch" partition
"I don't trust myself" stop saying that to yourself and you will trust yourself more, especially if you reinforce that feeling with reparative action.
I was hoping to read the comments here to understand once and for all what the difference between AWD and 4WD is.

I'm still as confused as I was before reading the comments. It appears the answer is...it depends on the manufacturer/vehicle.
