2009 - 2013 there were some good bargains in LIC and other areas. It will take a major recession to see some prices come down again to some reasonable level. Also, I wonder what the volume of transactions is. Because I see little invento

Yep, thanks for the link! Good laptops were 4-5k minimum. Thats like 7-8k now.

1k was a cheap / barebones computer. (Celeron, or AMD K4 chip, with not much memory, and maybe a floppy disk and slow CD reader). A good one (in the 90s at least) was at least 1.5k-2k, which is 2.8-4k now.

I trust Fidelity. I used to work there years ago. It is a conservatively run place, careful with changes, which is a good thing when managing large amount of money. The tech and web interface might not be the shiniest, but I'd rath

How hard it is, if you have someone inside with the access of the code? If you have 100s of people with full access, not hard to have someone that is willing to sell it or do some industrial espionage...

yeah, I get that 'you see them everywhere', but almost 2/3rd of them have been scrapped, and only the large ones remain, and some left in tourist areas. So, you are really seeing the 1/3rd left. The bunker built out dur

by ardit33 2y ago
Most bunkers were in line of 5, and connected by ditches/trenches. So, they almost were never by themselves (unless in some isolated aerea), but in lines, and connected to a network of trenches. As the war in Ukraine shows, trenches

Geary BRT is still not complete. 25 years in the making, and it is just a half assed solution. SF is very inefficient into completing mass transit infrastructure.

The ignorance of this thread. You are making it sound like you are going to a another planet and want to know if the local aliens are hostile or not. Greece is a developed western country, and has a large amount of tourists, millions of th

The Roman Empire was very advanced for the time, and it left such a huge imprint on the civilization even centuries, and thousands of years after it. The organization was a different scale. Fun fact: Some of the most famous battles in Engl

I haven't used the static version, but almost eveyrone that I know have used Lua loves it. There is beauty to its simplicity/bare bones approach to programing.

I have used it production (embeded/mobile), and I liked a lot. Their associated tables are just awesome. The problem with Lua is that object oriented programing is not necessary a first class citizen (you have to create it from scratc

unfortunately, AVP has ignored gaming altogether (to apple it is an annoyance). At least it could have had some kind of push forward of the industry in that front. The resolution is not yet good enough for work either. The only thing th

Youtube, Maps (mobile, the web version has been getting worse), Gmail are pretty good. So, their core services are fine; for anything that is not in the 'hot money making' path, good luck, some are great some are bad.

Before Git, Perforce was state of the art. Before that it was SVN (open source, decent) and tools like IBM Clearcase (not good, file locking, etc) Perforce was very easy to use and honestly git was a step backwards on a overall usability.

percentage wise, Absolutely yes. Ukraine is 40mil. If the current rate was sustained in the Ukraine/russia, we would have seen at least 400k death rates. The estimates are 10-20x less. (between 10 and 20k) You lost the plot, when ev

bruh.... this is clearly 'faschist' type of argument. "They deserve it". The dehumanizing of a whole population is just sick. Last times this happen in europe were: 1) WW2, 2) The massacres in the Yogoslavian wars, an

I saw some of the incursion footage. How many of the hamas troops in the October 7 incursion were women? 0, from what I saw in the footage the only women involved were isreali victims getting kidnapped. Mostly of the incursion was done

Nothing new here. Basically the genetics, matches the historical accounts. We know (by historical accounts) that the slavic immigration started in the end of the 6th century, after the death of Justinian the Great, where the successors lost

17% is a huge cut. More than that and you end up damaging operations. Look what is happening to X / Twitter. PS. Spotify had already two layoffs, once 6% in Jan 2023 and 2% in June. This combined seems like a 25% ish cut.

Sad to see this happening to my former co-workers. At least it looks like the severance seems to be generous. "We will start with a baseline for all employees, with the average employee receiving approximately five months of severance.

Serbia is refusing to give autonomy to Preseva Valley too (Luigina e Presheves). Also, Hungarians minorities in the north don’t have it either. They have lots of soul searching as well.

Jesus.... Visual Basic did this in the 80s and 90s just fine. Flash did it in the early 2000s. It is doable, but it requires a stable runtime. Just the HTML/CSS ecosystem is too flaky, and HTML/CSSS is a poorly design system for

Joel is wrong. The 2001-2003 timeframe was very hard to find a job, even if you were a really good engineer. There is a good reason Open Source development exploded during those years, as there were a lot of unemployed or 'underemploy

Pure speculation: most likely quantizing models to 8bit to make them more efficient (and cheaper to run), and losing some accuracy on the way. I still use it, but I have found it to be less useful for coding than it was earlier. So, someth

Western Europe has always been cleaner than both Eastern Europe, and the US, but things have been backsliding. Things have recently changed for the worse. eg. I was in Paris, and I could see a stark contrast between now and 10 years ago.
