   I can understand the dramatically increased costs with chip production. But the article makes it sound like the 9x increase is with the design of the chip (e.g., with an HDL simulator).

   Could anyone help me understand why is it 9 times more expensive to design a chip at 7nm than 28nm? I would have naively thought chip design is fairly automated, but a 9x increase makes is sound like every gate and path is delicately hand-s

   I think it's because players have to download an old version of WoW in order to play. This is a full game download and includes artwork and music IP content. Not to mention it means there is no need to pay a monthly fee to Blizzard. Bl

   Je suis Linode! This is nothing less than cyber-terrorism, and I hope the FBI is involved. A problem I see with people throwing Linode under the bus is that only the mega hosting providers (AWS/Google) have the resources to mitigate su

   PHP 7 has been very stable, but a serious bug was discovered close to launch that made them delay the release by two weeks. There have been no serious issues found since that time, so release should be imminent.

    A-Train should be in there. It inspired SimCity 2000's isometric view and was also a great game to boot with a strong economic system (ledger, stocks, taxes, capital gains, etc).

    The article states that the industry is fearful of water as as substitute because brand preference is not as strong and there are plenty of cheap competitors.

    OK that looks much better designed. Definitely would recommend that over a flat charger, based on my experience.

    I purchased Google's officially sanctioned charger, figuring the Nexus 5 would be optimized for it. Looks like it has been discontinued: https://store.google.com/product/nexus_wireless_charger Are there better one

    Occasionally, my Nexus 5 is dead in the morning because the phone was not perfectly placed on the wireless charger. Until Google expands the charging area on the phone to eliminate this problem, I don't mind going back to wired chargin

    You missed the part about re-examining the cross-currents of knowledge between the East and West. I like the analogy of it being an early (and much slower) version of the internet. Ideas are not formed in a vacuum.

    The image at the bottom of the article? It's not the same penguin it's a cartoon drawing. The feet are different, the eyes are different, the beak is different, the wings are different. The only thing similar is the pose.

    It is similar to DSL connection issues cause by spotty telephone wiring. Cross talk and outside interference raise noises levels on the line and the devices on either end can't tell the signal from the background noise. This is differe

    Sentences like this are kind of the New Yorker's erudite (you could argue pretentious) style. It works better on the the printed page than on the web. If you read the New Yorker often enough your mind gets used to it and it isn't

    I'm still confused with flex-grow (step 28). When I set the value of an item to 2 while the other items remain at 1, it increase in width a little bit but not nearly twice as much (relative to the others). What does 2 actual do here? C

    Just because the US doesn't invade by name, doesn't mean they aren't involved, often at a fundamental level. Look a Chile; Nixon gave the orders and supplied to weapons and CIA support behind the coup that brought Pinochet in

    I've been reading through the notes and you present the material extremely well. I especially like how you discuss naive approaches before going about a better way to do things (e.g., computing a gradient numerically vs analytic). This

    I was playing around with postgres and was able to get a query that puts everything in JSON: select json_agg(sub) from (select u.username, (select array_agg(p) from posts p where u.id = p.user_id) posts from users u) sub;
