They are hardware guys, they probably wrote some good firmware but their expertise falls short of cutting edge web stuff. I would cut them some slack and hope they are successful enough they can pay someone else to do web stuff at some stag

This is a really cool idea. As a business owner I would never buy the DIY kit, I would want it fully assembled and have an appropriate warranty, factory testing/calibration and fast replacement - doubly so if I needed the sensor data f

I don't think it's possible to choose a worse (mainstream) language for general purpose use than Javascript. If it's not running in the browser it should simply never be JS. That is the only environment where you are stuck wi

Personally, given this is Russinovich - his personal opinion would carry more weight with me than whatever he has to say in his official capacity as Azure CTO.

This whole thing is becoming rather unbecoming of most of the commentators. At this stage it would be best to just wait until things are settled before drawing conclusions.

Or just use TimescaleDB which is competitive on most axes but already PG.

Why even charge corporations? Charge the ultimate beneficiaries and the decision makers. The executives and the board should be the ones with their balls in a vice rather than indirectly harming investors that were already harmed as part of

The fab game is just inherently boom and bust. The economics of a fab mean that it's built at massive cost but the unit economics are incredibly efficient so fabs then run at 100% utilisation regardless of demand until EOL. The result

Sequoia and a16z are probably a better measure of hype bubbles, pumped billions into crypto nonsense. They have also both funded QC but to a much lesser degree so I would concur with your analysis.

It's certainly not active but perhaps could be revived now that the patents have expired (filed in 2001 so expired last year). On the surface it's just a very optimized 256-ary radix trie. I think it would take some software arche

The on-disk format is documented in the spec: https://github.com/RoaringBitmap/RoaringFormatSpec It's very simple actually. I worked on adding run container support which involved adding support for the newer seri

Yeah pretty much. General purpose compression algorithms do a good job but pale in comparison to what Roaring achieves. I wouldn't use the word exotic but rather specialized and/or optimized. Infact later versions of Roaring use r

I think the lack of scrubs of SpaceX launches mostly comes from Falcon 9 being an absurdly powerful rocket with great margin of safety for the payload/missions it takes. Thus it can often launch in sub-optimal conditions, still complet

Yes, just the fabs. Where do they import the bulk of the chemicals and other inputs from?

Correct. Too many people think shiny Infinity Loop One office when chips come up. The reality is that chip designers are like 0.1% of the available roles. Fab workers/supervisors/maintenance etc are maybe 25% and the rest is in a

The money within the contract wasn't the problem, that was transferred out as part of closing the program. However there were other assets on the chain that are locked using the program which are now inaccessible because its inoperable

China would like the fabs but it's not the fabs that drives them to re-unify with Taiwan. That desire pre-dates the fabs by decades.

Copy or not, if it bears resemblance to TSMC N7 that is very impressive.

Eventually you realise this split sucks though. it creates a world where programmers of the higher level language can't reasonably debug their most important libraries. This is different from not being able to debug the runtime, which

By and large yes, people returned to the office however a lot are disgruntled and exceptions to work remotely largely depend on your manager and their ability to push that up the chain as Elon is meant to approve each exception personally.

i.e Javascript applications in general have poor maintainability. That is simply the price of Electron. You trade API stability and application maintainability for cross platform and cheaper developers/web tech.

Even if it was a million years it wouldn't matter. The US has the Nevada desert which is effectively a barren wasteland, just shove it in a bunch of containers and leave it there. They already do that for removed nuclear reactors from

They were always going to need microcode to deal with errata or are you referring to encrypting the microcode rather than just signing it?
