I don’t think unemployed developers have as much free time as you seem to think they do. Do you know how much the mortgage payments would be for a house in silicon valley? Not to mention other bills like their kids’ tuition, car loans, etc.

And it’s too easy to confuse them with paper wasps, which normally aren’t aggressive.

It’s fine until it’s not… The problem is you can’t really predict when it will fail.

Just make sure you back them up. Bit rot is real.

OK, boomer

OK, that’s embarrassing… but my point still stands.

Gotta go back farther than the 80s to find a time when business school people weren’t in charge. A LOT farther.

Did Lucille Bluth write that article?

How many JS codebases are over 30 years old? Can you name even one?

BASIC? That’s cute.

If you don’t think EE students learn how circuits (including ICs) work, what exactly do you think they’re doing while they’re in school?

OK, but that doesn’t really answer my question, and I’m getting the sense you don’t know how deeply some engineers understand how the hardware works. Plenty of embedded programmers have EE degrees, and can write VHDL just as well (or just as badly) as they can write C and ASM.

You think people writing C(++) for baremetal systems don’t understand how their hardware works?

Source?

People should really look into growing the less common varieties at home. You can get supplies and spores or cultures from reputable companies so you don’t have to worry about identifying them yourself. You can’t grow all varieties easily at home, but you can grow more than you can buy at the store.

The same way Epstein was able to get a plea deal that gave him immunity to federal charges back in 2006. Everyone involved is extremely well-connected.

Even things like HDDs that don’t become “obsolete” in 18-24 months get sold with plenty of life left (unplanned downtime is more expensive than new hardware), but obsolescence makes it happen even sooner.

Yeah, he literally changed his last name to “dotcom.”

Regardless of who owns it or what they do with it, those GPUs will get sold on the used market with plenty of life left. Older AI GPUs, networking equipment (eg 100GbE), SAS drives, etc have been easy to find on eBay and other sites for a long time, because data centers replace hardware long before it’s expected to fail.

The administrators of the mutual fund still make a bet that their income (mainly the money they charge members/customers) will meet or exceed the claims they pay out, no? They might not have a profit motive, but that doesn’t change the basic economics of needing income to be >= expenses.

It doesn’t really make a difference which wheels are driven seeing as the truck was braking, not accelerating. And having all of the weight in the front makes sense if the bed is actually used for hauling stuff.
