The modern equivalent is still Americans trying and failing to be fashionable by aping world trends 5 years after they've died.

It's amazing how, to this day, American fashion is still largely off the pulse and out of step with the world. http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/014/711/138...

Seems like some comments are missing the forest for the trees. The reason they're common is that it's possible to create all programs with a tiny subset of instructions. And I don't think LEAs are common due to the cool trick

You don't have to find it funny. That doesn't make it not a joke.

So just to be clear, you have zero evidence to back up your assertion.

So in the maintenance phases were you lifting, and were you pushing lifts? That's pretty scary that you can lose weight so quickly during a slack fitness period.

The message you were referring to was talking about code for copying strings. If you wanted an instruction to copy lots of strings, the CPU would need to know what a character is (which could be 7 bits, 8 bits, 16 or 32), what a string is,

Oh of course yeah. I was picturing it as a separate AND when it could be bunged in with the ANDs for individual register selects and write/load enables and so on also. Cool, thanks.

Nice site. This would've been very helpful to me in college when I was trying to get an intuitive grasp of Gaussian blurs and so on via the formulas.

You still have to then AND the output of that decoder with the data lines which go to the registers right? OP's friend just mentioned 1 extra gate in the data path, and I presume this would be it.
642.
by anjc 10y ago
You're implying that OP's friend thinks an extra gate would require another clock cycle or something? He's just talking about propagation delay which is obviously increased with extra logic on the bus (in the multiplexor, or

There's nothing dishonest about it. It's a loss because these are explicit investments which haven't produced any earnings. When they produce any sort of revenue then their financial statements (and media reports of the finan

It's an accounting loss. Their revenue is less than their costs. Nobody gauges the state of a company by just looking at one line on an income statement though.

You might be confused from too much HN, but not every product in the world is a web app or 'box of the month' subscription.

Luckily a company full of people like you will also need to have experienced marketing and legal staff, who will know that it would be unwise to laugh off such user issues. Your marketing team doesn't need to be diverse to know this.
648.
by anjc 10y ago
Yeah, it's made-up bullshit which sounds like it makes sense. Enforced diversity is only a thing in the past few years, so you only have to think of....almost any mass-market product from before then to know it's untrue. It&#x27

It's bizarre that a company seems to be struggling to administer diversity of staff, without being certain of its own medium-term success. There's no point in having your quota of "people of colour", as the article puts

Apologies, that guy was right.

by anjc 10y ago
Yeah, possibly. It depends on the industry. Like you couldn't directly compare Intel to ARM because their strategic groups are too divergent, even though they ostensibly do the same thing. But within the same strategic groupings, it mi

Well you'd measure 'value addition' in revenue, and Income per Employee is already a metric used, but it still wouldn't extend beyond the bounds of your own company, as an entity in a wider supply chain/network.

> have outsourced their sales as well via an antiquated dealer model. That's not outsourcing, that's distribution. Every industry in the world has similar distribution channels. They still have a large sales department.

No industry counts the number of employees within a supply chain. It might be impossible and it's half the point in having separate SC entities...it's irrelevant to a car manufacturer how many miners various aluminium companies fe

My "arbitrary boundary" is my country and consists of citizens of my country, whether they're indigenous or not. If you like seeing an underclass being manufactured in your country due to the profit maximisation of businesses

Same thing is happening in every country, it seems. Spanish companies have the entire EU from which they can draw workers without any paperwork or issues, and yet they can't find any? From central/eastern Europe even, whose worker

As far as I'm aware they were giving exclusive licensing rights to their IP to Microsoft in perpetuity. But yeah, it doesn't seem cheap...

Well penetration of WP is down yeah, but that only makes sense when Nokia Lumias immediately disappeared from shops upon announcement of the MS Lumia devices, and when MS did not market or promote those new devices very much. The 950 range
