You seem to live in a bit of a bubble, personally I've never seen anything other than penny-pinching on corporate laptops and everybody everywhere complaining about the same. (I don't mean that IT departments hand out bottom-of-th

Because they're sensible heat machines, instead of latent heat machines. In a perfect frictionless vacuum, both of these can achieve the same theoretical efficiency. In practice, not so much. In particular, the isothermal heat exchange

Interstate commerce also seems to be vastly easier inside the US in comparison to the alleged single market of the EU. The most companies seem to deal with is California-specific regulations. Meanwhile, most companies in the EU eventually

It's yet another EU regulation that requires a rep for each EU country or you're not allowed to do business. EU single market is a bad joke at this point.

Symlinks exist, but it's kind of ridiculous all harnesses just ignore CONTRIBUTING, HACKING and friends.

If rubber-stamping decisions by a supervising person is a breach of this GDPR rule, then the judiciary should be very thankful that the legislative excluded it from GDPR's scope :D

4B / 2.4T is 1/600 or 0.16%, almost a 3X dilution. A bit on the weak side for homeopathy, but still readily available for many ingredients :)

That's not distillation, that's model homeopathy.

The article is mistaken, all the lidded chips (discussed here) are also flip chip/C4. Just with a metal plate on top. That would be in contrast to the earlier lidded chips (like a 68k or i486) with ceramic packages, where the chip is m

No, that’s the die sawed out of a wafer. Those are wafer-thin, i.e. about 0.8mm. On some newer CPUs the wafer is ground down to improve thermals. In normal C4 packaging like here the active layer is sandwiched between the metal layers (whic

Non-US-centric legal topics are surprisingly often a blind spot in enwiki, this is one of them. In civil law the core principle for this is "nemo tenetur (se ipsum accusare)", but the reifications are wildly different in the juris

The US / common law jurisdictions typically only have very light self-incrimination protections. The 5th amendment in the US only protects against self-incriminating testimonial. That's it. In most other jurisdictions (i.e. civil

The example contradicts itself in such a short blog post (the example creates and reads ~/artifacts.txt, the prose claims repeatedly artifacts are anything in ~/artifacts/). This is also an even worse design than path artifac

This is heroin for the eyes. Once the hit is over you want to take another one and if you don't it'll take ten minutes or so until the "real" world won't feel like a bleached sepia picture any more.

In terms of project trajectory this is also an interesting contrast. DuckDB is "SQLite, but for OLAP". DuckDB 1.0 was in 2024. DuckDB 2.0 (new API, new storage format, new ...) is in 2026. SQLite has been 3.x since 2004.
