With all due respect, your post looks like a shiny marketing pitch to me. What you call 'imaginary future problem' is everyday for some people. Think three months of work for a team of eight senior system devs per sys call behavin

GPUs aren't panacea. Such generalizations are wrong and will have you rearchitecture approaches after GPU io bottlenecks.

I have a completely different experience from you. As I'm reading this on my phone, most of the website related experience is better without JavaScript. I also had in the past legally blind co-workers that could barely use a browser, s

As a canadian reading this, my instinctive reactions were: 1. Is this a parody of some kind? After it turned out it's legit news: 2. So why they simply aren't maxing out people credit cards too? I mean, by the same flawed logic, i

I wish I was pulling that kind of money here. From my anecdotal experience, I had friends that started at 35k/y as frontend devs, and 65k / year at IBM for c++ , both fresh out of univ. I agree that 75k with few years under the be

Apart from school, let me give you an advice. If you have a brain that can handle multiple levels of OO in c++ across multiple threads; keeping multupltformness in mind and crunching out optimized code with all that you learned in your dat

Yes, authentication != authorization. But it's more convenient to equate them apparently.

It's the invasiveness or the approach. To use the (wrong) car analogy, the blinker manufacturer shouldn't demand a specific engine oil being used. Amalgamation of components, in the software world, carries long term risk and probl

I believe the argument base is on the approach being used. Linux has a certain design principles it's built on; and it seems most of the objections are towards the SystemD's team completely disregarding said design principles.

There are many factors. I had a friend studying the induced magnetic field and it's effects on tissues (vs frequency etc) long time ago. The conclusion was that there are overall cancer related and other brain related problems. It was

Yes. They make money from knowing who people are, and selling that. This cleaves the driving tor concept by deanonymizing users. For anybody as large as Facebook, if enough people go for it, the remaining slice of the pie will be really sma

That's not true. If what you are saying was true, late stage diabetics wouldn't lose their legs. Sugar is toxic to nerves and your body has to heal after every spike. Yes, it's usually down to us, just so many of 'us&#x2

It's a solvable problem with a very subjective solution. For me. After working at stock exchanges and whatnot; I decided that every day I'd walk through that door at 9am with three fucks in my register and walk out at 5 with three

Having worked in a trading company for some time, investing in anything not backed by a government, especially a retirement money, seems as a bit of a reckless idea to me.

I run a search engine that indexes an entire western country for beer-worth of vps. I spent few months to build it though. I don't see scaling for the world to be hard given the money they have.

Microcode giveth, microcode taketh away :) It is interesting though how Intel waited so far (not even a statement?) , probably just to sell more CPUs overall.

I get the feeling that Rust design is concerned more about write-ability of the code than readability. Code has to be maintained, read by random people, comprehended. It will grow up in hundreds of megs on large projects, and it will take t

General notes: - Semicolons inconsistent usage makes Rust harder to process. Is that semicolon extra? Is it not? Will that be a compilation error? Saving single keystrokes will be paid in cognitive load. Programming is already a demanding
