Might be a controversial take, but the Trump administration needs to take a bold stance and banned WITCH (Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Cognizant and HCL) from the H1B Visa Program. The number of anecdotal accounts I have heard of these companies ga

Notably, no mention of Sophie Wilson, who played a pivotal role in designing the original ARM ISA. Remarkably, the movie Micro Men also overlooked much of Sophie Wilson’s role, despite her work on ARM becoming one of the most significant te

Yup. Team Negative One are doing some very important work in terms of film preservation/digital archeology.

I remember going to the huge Compaq Singapore factory in Yishun in 1992, which had around 1600 employees, to assess if we can take over the support of their Banyan Vines system, as a junior engineer. 7 years later, in 1999, they laid off e

Infuse is awesome. I use it with Plex/Sonarr, both on the Apple TV and the AVP.

Brings back memories of VHS copies of bootleg and other questionable content (Pr0n) being sold in certain shops in Singapore (if you know where to find them) in 80s.

Worked at AWS in the past. This resonates. Let's of missed chances. For example, the Alexa for Automotive team initially impressed with a well-produced demo video that painted a compelling vision of in-car voice integration. However, t

A sad for me. I spent countless hours building HyperCard stacks and creating artwork in MacPaint, in college. A true legend. RIP. Fat Bits forever.

Both the key 8-bit contenders of yore, Atari 8-bit series and Commodore 64 custom graphics chips (Antic and Vic-II) “stole” cycles from the 6502 (or 6510 in the case of C64) did "cycle stealing", when it needed to access memory.

Started with topical Minoxidil at age 21. Have (almost) a full head of hair. Now I take it in pill form. No breasts. And no other issues.

Atari's Sunnyvale Research Lab (SRL), run by Alan Kay, were working on some graphics chipset at that time. Probably why IBM came knocking.

The AVP connected to my MacBook Pro in Ultra Wide mode is fantastic for coding—though not exactly portable. Still, working from the garden and enjoying the fresh air beats being stuck in front of multiple monitors in the home office, any da

If the current situation continues to unfold logically, it is inevitable that we may witness the secession of several states within our lifetime, to form a Federation of States. Hopefully California + Oregon + Washington State can secede an

It is, though pales in comparison to the MacBook in terms of whole (working) day battery like. The real non-start is their insistence that I'm not allowed to re-image it to run Linux.

Joined a new company and requested a MacBook Pro, but they declined and instead issued me a brand-new ThinkPad X1 running Windows. So, I went ahead and bought a MacBook Pro myself, set up all corporate apps (since the company runs M365 and

I studied in the U.S. as an international student and always admired America from afar, seeing it as a global leader and a beacon of hope for all of humanity. I was always a strong supporter of the country. It’s so heartbreaking to witness

Glad I bought a NeXT Cube. Still looks like a futuristic otherworldly monolith. That Ross Perot had something to do with its inception still blows my mind.

This. The number of otherwise useless overlays upon overlays at AWS is staggering. And quite a number of these L7 (non-sales/customer facing) overlays can be pruned without much impact to overall team/BU output/Rev. Jassy see

Along with the existing productivity dip due to lowering of the hiring bar to meet DEI KPIs, and with this brain drain of their top talent, it is going to be a rough ride for Amazon.

this seems like a calculated move to thin the crowd knowing how unpopular this full RTO is going to be, after the massive over hiring during Covid.
