Absent here is any statement about how available is defined in terms of being _meaningfully up_ like iops or bps.

of course, it actually depends on how they define "up."

It's such a scam to pretend that H1B workers are, on average, high performers in key positions. That isn't the reality, has not ever been the reality, and will not ever be the reality. H1B is about cost of labor, has always been a

They were really pretty close. Leaded gas was banned for new model cars in 1985 but didn't stop being used until 1996 - the year of XML! - and asbestos was and is everywhere, the gift that keeps on giving. Popcorn ceiling in a house b

The chips don't have ECC and have very low maximum memory and aren't suitable for the datacenter.

You must live in a part of the world where political and emotional manipulation is somehow lacking.

No, it doesn’t. Putting aside that there is an entire field of clockless designs, asynchronous logic, free-running clocks, etc. You should think of this as “when the cpu is processing an instruction, what does it need to track to dispatch a

Most binary formats are easier, not harder, to parse. It’s sad. An entire generation or two that doesn’t know the basics.

The compression doesn’t help memory usage or cache locality on the receiving end. Http is terrible and JSON and other web technologies are terrible. The whole concept of how to write efficient code and the resulting performance left on the

Really no. The RF world has nothing on fiber and copper for density. There is almost unlimited desire for bandwidth in the access layer and over subscription ratios are still very very high. The transition to 800G ports and then post-800G i

My suggestion to you would be to focus on your long term strategic goals. Job hopping optimizes near term but will leave you without a solid network of allies and no big base of trusted lieutenants to draw from when you are trying to build

People are tired of the tech industry crapifying everything. We built the current situation where nothing we do can be trusted and most of it is scams like Uber.

Compensation and title are basically everything once you leave the IC role. Trampolining through GM is just fine if you want to land at some other mega company after. IMHO, most tech ICs have literally no idea what comp packages look like w

The recession was caused by fake tech startups built on ZIRP policies running into IPO difficulties after a bunch of them dumped on the market.

HSMs are not secure to sustained competent hardware attacks. This should have been on an HSM in multiple secure a signing service facilities with authenticated access and never handed to an OEM of any kind in any form.

I mean, all they have to do is read ASML's own writeup of this [1]. It's basically US-developed tech, US-funded and political-tactical partnerships. I just don't understand the confusion. [1] https://www.asml.com&#

Maybe Stanford was never really what their very active reputation management facility was pushing the last few facades? The school basically rode the Silicon Valley wave.

Layers of unreal. Going into Covid the SWE job market was insane and had been so for years.

I can tell you point blank that I have participated in layoffs where freeing up opex by LRing people was done _explictly_ to fund increasing the compensation of other team members including higher level manager promotions (and associated pa

There's a massive shortage of software but most of it is low value. Not a lot of money to be made there and the era of "I'll fill this hole with a low-feature SaaS" is kind of over for the time being. There is very littl
