No it’s 6240 / 3 000 000

The numbers are wrong, 6000/3000000 is 0.2% not 0.002%. I stopped reading after this.

It’s interesting to see that low population density is an advantage here - it’s usually described as a financially obstacle for most infrastructure projects ( telco, etc )

I’d say very few actually ( and I say this from the perspective of someone who used to work in hpc ). If they need to know about hw, most devs need to know about their primary platform, ie cpu. Gpus for general purpose computing ( I’m deli

I remember being very interested in ispc when it appeared since the model was just right. It wasn’t obvious to me that it would go on to stay though ( and I used to be irrationally wary of intel software ) so I decided against using it at m

No, the EC can’t do anything unless it’s approved by European Parliament. It’s another unexpected aspects of European institutions : most people don’t understand how they work. Local, national political parties abuse this by essentially bla

Indeed, you’re most likely right. I’ve seen around me a growing sentiment along the lines of ´ my views and candidates didn’t win so democracy doesn’t work’ coupled with ´this allows me to claim that violence / authoritarian regime wit

I’m not sure I understand : European Commissioners are nominated by elected National governments, and approved by parliament. How is this not democratic ? Whether you agree with these policies or not is a different matter altogether.

Hungary and Poland don’t strike me as very lax governments, so it’s not obvious to me that people in Eastern Europe would actively fight that kind of legislation.

No there’s no tip in most of Europe. There’s a service charge which can’t be retracted, it’s part of the price.

Which countries ? I’ve never been to a place where as an already paying customer I had to pay for the restroom. You often do see signs ‘customers only’ on the restroom though.

I’m not sure about this specific contract, but historically speaking, Adacore has sold support contracts, and even if you stop paying, you’re still allowed to use the compiler versions you’ve paid for. Furthermore, since these compilers are

I didn’t know lfs was still around. The last time I played with it was around 2003-2004 I think.

Assuming markets default to be competitive is wrong I think . Natural cartels and monopolies do exist after all, or markets have high entry costs etc. Economic theory usually assumes pute and perfect competition, which doesn’t exist in many

While I get the ‘it’s Google they will drop it’ argument, my gut reaction when I first saw the service was that it would fail because it was a gaming platform with no games, and no sales/very high prices. Porting games to Linux was unl

In a large company the engineers , regional distribution etc are already there and pis for by other parts of the company I think. Your math is otherwise correct.

Terabytes of data in s3 is not a lot, and can be replicated easily on prem.

That’s the kind of thing that had me learn coding many years ago ( watching demoscene productions).

On Linux you can use abstract names, prefixed with a null byte. They disappear automatically when your process dies, and afaik don’t require rw access to a directory.

Read books, on a variety of topics, including the ones you don’t know about. A book will give you a much broader and deeper understanding of most topics than random blog posts on the internet. Make sure you read one or two a year, and think

It’s a great way to learn - so challenge. There’s neither fame nor money here I think. At least in the 90s there were lots of tutorials to learn how to crack/reverse engineer, from +orc’s documentation to fravia ´s fortress of reverse

Razor 1911 ! I had completely forgotten about them. They cracked games in the 1990s, and if memory serves well, there was a nice ascii art logo that came with games. Apparently they’ve been active again since 2010, but in my ( much older )

I developed shoulder pain because my chair armrest was too high so was propping my shoulder up ever so slightly. It took me a while to figure out, and my pain went away quite quickly once I’d understood the problem. More recently, someone t

Thé 75 to EB immediately screamed of copy protection. However , the other ramifications were unexpected, resulting in a very interesting read. Congrats for finding this, and thanks for posting.

Yes this particular story drove into me the importance of backward compatibility, and how much Microsoft actually cared about lots of things at a time they were getting a lot of flak for their OSes. It also made me realize that changing any
