There were some financial giants that used Symbolics for fraud detection; possibly it just makes sense to keep it running than to rewrite it. I remember American Express being a large customer, from what I read.

Kermit is interesting also, though my understanding was that it was not quite as good as taking advantage of higher available data rates; am I wrong about that?

A friend who works in embedded systems pointed out that XMODEM protocol communication is used everywhere in embedded; it may be that the protocol is more widely shipped now than it has been in the past! Many Cisco, Adtran, Juniper etc switc

The saying that “A level management hires A’s , while B’s hire C’s” is true and directly ties into this. The arrogant-yet-incompetent management I have encountered actually makes it difficult for high performers since the mental “box” they

Do you have any performance metrics for this assertion? My understanding was that Netflix and others have contributed very performant code.

The Haitians you are referring to are not here legally; they’re illegally in the country BUT are granted Temporary Protected Status; should TPS as a policy be revoked then under the law, they are not allowed to remain in the USA.

Actually Whites have as much if not more claims to North America than any other group; there’s multiple times that they came to NA, including the Solutreans of about 12000 years ago: https://insider.si.edu/2012/03/

It seems in retrospect, quite ridiculous to be hunting this guy down and deporting him. And I don't see the need for a new book on the subject (though an author should always to free to write what they want to). In the context of immig

However the older solders have a much higher percentage of lead in their composition which makes whiskering less likely. I have two Zenith Z-120s made in about 1980 and thus coming up on 50 years old which don’t have any issues.

California is basically a single party state at this point; something that Musk would be aware of; it seems that is what he is referring to.

Both tea leaves and California rice have fluoride also; absorbed by the plants as they grow. Foreign sources of rice have to pass tests for fluoride while California rice is exempt, from my understanding.

I keep thinking I should buy options for AVGO (Broadcom's stock symbol), betting that their stock will drop; however I am surprised they are doing so well, perhaps buoyed by their AI chips business. However the VMware acquisition will

"One of the reasons Linux persists despite not having something up to the level of ZFS is that most of ZFS features are redundant to larger enterprise customers." ZFS is used heavily on Linux and runs well, though there are some l

I readily admit that I have no knowledge about WPE’s internal affairs and I have no animus against them. That said a company above a certain size can have multiple issues that could cause a person to consider leaving; such as internal polit
