This brings up a very old memory: the readme of Volkov Commander said the author of it is some nuclear institute in Kyiv. Yup. (Also, I uploaded Volkov Commander to SIMTEL 31 years ago and the ignorant asshole running that site reported me

Yes, yes, yes, of course, the infamous CPU released just so Intel middle managers can get their bonus. GPU disabled, CPU gimped, the whole thing barely worked at all. Let's call it the 0th iteration of 10nm , it was not real, there was

Most of the stock buybacks happened under Bob Swan though. Krzanich dug the grave of Intel but it was Swan who kicked the company in there by wasting forty billion. (No wonder he landed at a18z.)

The first iteration of Intel 10nm was simply broken -- you had Ice Lake mobile CPUs in 2019 yes but desktop and server processors took another two years to be released. In 2012 Intel said they will ship 14nm in 2013 and 10nm in 2015. Not on

The essence of being senior, I feel is "I have made the mistake you are about to make". This echoes in language learning. When I was learning Go I could easily pinpoint what language design decisions were made because of lessons l

I listed like half a dozen things that could go wrong and the only reply is "look this particular one in this singular case the bullshit is accidentally correct". Hopeless, as I said.

Yeah but this is where a human is indispensable. Suppose the source language has words which could be translated into multiple English words -- look at all the power banks which are advertised as charging treasure for example. One can see h

In 1985, my parents went to West Germany with an organized tour and smuggled a ZX Spectrum for us. At the same time, they sent me to a computer - focused daycamp at a community center. Yes, of course, we played games, I was ten but I learne

Not only that but if you have a multiple continental team then no one needs to be waken by an emergency meow. (My PagerDuty is set to a meow sound. So we practice meow driven development: I don't want to hear my phone meowing piteously

If we hitched language development on Wordpress we would still be on PHP4 as they refused to join gophp5 some seventeen years ago. Again, an ancient enough codebase which contains a library using array_find will need enough upgrades to run

That would be some really old library. Already in 2012 when Composer was released there was PSR-0 and today almost all libraries are Composer managed and using a namespace following PSR-4 which itself is ten years old. A library that old wo

I should note a few special products in this space. The Sliger CX4712 fits a 120mm fan in the back, this is extremely rare, the Supermicro 742 did it but that has been out of production for a long, long time. These days you can even find 12

People still pay real world money to Netflix after they cancelled and how and why Warrior Nun just to see grandpa being beaten up. I guess in the year when Trump is being reelected this is hardly a surprise.
