Unpopular opinion but I'm okay with treating union members better than non. It's good to know that once you make it you are safe. It's okay to grind and give 110% on the come-up. Unsustainable drive, passion, fire. But there

When they come for Europe, they will come with nukes. It's clear they only need to protect St Petersburg and Moscow with SMD. The rest they are happy to let burn. Can England and France threaten Russia with retaliation? Trump has made

Why does Qualcomm need this? They don't need to license RISC-V. Is all the IP they acquired with Nuvia[1] tainted? Or were they just using ARM-derived internals? From my understanding, just slapping on a different instruction decoder i

That feature is necessary to enable future enhancements. It’s an important stepping stone. Just update your code. I’m doing it on 20 year old legacy billion dollar code base. It can be done.

The smaller the EV, the more efficient it becomes because it takes less battery, which means it's hauling less etc. What we need is to normalise small about-town cars for groceries, commuting, and dropping off kids. Something like an e

My parents had oral exams in university. I feel like that actually is a better format that does not rewarding cramming, but is interactive and over quicker. It means that there is a dynamic that actually allows for grading problem solving o

Some did, some didn't. I have seen interviews with many Brexit voters who said they would not have voted if they had known it would effect them economically in this or that way. So that's not owning it.

I feel like C++ is the counter-argument to backwards compatibility. Even Java is loosening it's obsession with it. Sometimes you just need to move forward. Python 3 should be studied for why it didn't work as opposed to a lesson n
