I just said that as joke; you couldn't get me into finance unless you had a gun to my head. I do think long though, Intel makes for an interesting investment. It plays in about the 70th percentile for stock volatility for the year, whi

Depends on the portfolio and strategy, but personally I think Intel is a Buy. They're burning money building new fabs with little indication that they can execute on their node or product roadmaps, but they've really took a chunk

Considering Intel recently cut their annual payout from $1.46 per share to $0.50 per share, while simultaneously building 3 new fabs and expanding 3 others, I somehow doubt it.

Funny enough, I predicted this in a previous HZ comment 3 months ago when they cut their server systems business. > "My guess is that they're cutting the portfolio down to feature only chipsets and add-in cards. Just CPUs, GPUs

If you're doing anything in embedded systems/hardware, expect to be using C. Yes, Embedded Rust and MicroPython are a thing now, but if I need to work with any partner or customer I'll be in a world of pain, because 99% of th

Exactly this. I now work in a team with a bunch of Ivy League UK equivalents (Oxford/Cambridge), but I'm about 5 years older working at a similar grade/comp ratio. I had to hop around 4 different teams at 2 companies, and bui

You'll maybe be pleased to know that I've already had this as a coding interview at a couple of high frequency trading FPGA interviews. I didn't do well at all in the first interview. Second time I got asked it I laughed, bec

This is the sort of advice people need to hear more of. Almost none of us are ever going to realistically adopt a hunter-gatherer lifestyle again. We need more data on how to get close to that within the confines of modern life. There'

Everything I've read on the subject suggests that both economically and socially, we're far more left wing and liberal than what we "should be" by this age. I'm not sure what poll you're suggesting; if it'

I did the same. I had barely any possessions; my laptop, a toothbrush, clothes, a desk lamp, pots/pans/knives. But I made up for that with boxes upon boxes of almost every book I've ever owned. I eventually catalogued the lot

Yes, we walked up to the Mausoleum from the cave. It's only a short 10 minute walk up the hill. You get a great view of the countryside from the top. If you want to make a day of it, West Wycombe Park is just down the road (the Dashwoo

If we're talking about manufacturing volume as the sole definition for "number one chip maker", then the idea that Apple might be first is frankly laughable. If we discounted pure foundries (TSMC, UMC, Global Foundries) they&

A large DCFIFO array/synchronizer chain is part of the solution yes, but it's not quite a one-size-fits-all solution. Depends on if your signals are synchronous or asynch, and if it's a pulse or not in a single bit solution.
