I was thinking the same, assuming it eventually goes on sale in the UK. Actually the 3:2 screen ratio is one of the new laptop developments I am less keen on; 16:9 or 16:10 feels a bit better for having 2 side-by-side…
0. Linux support, specifically with the option to purchase without paying the Windows tax for an OS I'll never boot. This is a deal-breaker for me, meaning Dell are one of the few main-stream manufacturers I'd go with.…
I seem to remember the Azure 24 hour limit being in place in 2018, though it wasn't highlighted particularly well and came as a surprise to me. Could well have been removed since.
Likewise - incredibly disappointed. I don't even want to use their cloud storage; I'd much rather be syncing to a server I control. With the current pricing and the fact that I passed on my old rM1 to my wife when I got…
It's weird how the 3 major clouds have taken different paths to what must be an almost identical resource allocation problem. AWS has had this kind of spot instance for years, but with a 2 minute grace period rather…
Don't fall victim to resume-driven development; keep on KISSing.
Or better yet, rewrite it in Go to avoid both the fat blob and python dependency management at the same time!
OpenStack is an over-complicated mess. Most enterprise IT orgs already struggle to hire the people with skills to operate a public cloud account, nevermind having to build the underlying infrastructure as well.
It's not about petulance, it's about motivation. I'm in a similar position to the author but acting more like you would want; I care about being good at my job and want to deliver because that is how I was raised, but…
I suppose a parent might be held responsible for their kids below a certain age - and getting pissy about what a 15 year old is saying on their Twitch stream is totally in keeping with my experience of Bezos' corporate…
Anything which visualizes a Gantt chart will automatically look like steaming garbage.
Sounds like we just need to gamify productivity, it's a wonder no-one has ever tried that before... (/s for the dull and witless hordes)
If you're not against "Old Media" and classical liberal ideas, I'd suggest just getting an Economist subscription.
The problem here is letting drug companies market to the uneducated general public - there is a good reason why that practice is banned in most countries.
All-caps mode exists as a safe space for FORTRAN programmers.
"College" in the UK education system already has a definition; it is the place you go from 16 to 18, studying a narrower curriculum than regular school prior to 16. You will also hear references to "sixth form college",…
Hexagons are the bestagons; better than all the restagons.
There is/was a UK government "Help to Buy" scheme aimed at people who can only afford a 5% deposit, where the gov basically took part of the equity and then charged you rent on the portion you don't own. Never seemed…
I wish more people were au fait with this concept. If a small business can only exist due to paying bottom-tier wages it is perfectly OK for that business to be squeezed out of existence in short order.
Not in the field, so genuine question: what is the evidence/theory to support the notion that deep learning is at all a reasonable route towards AGI? As I understand, this is nothing like how actual neurons work - and…
In short, more suitable staffing and scoping. Hopefully I don't need to explain the arbitrary nature of the 40-hour week. A lot of people like the idea of flexibility along with these reduced hours, but I'd actually…
I would extend this by saying that most of the people in the US earning mid 6 figures as developers are doing even less good for society than those managers. The market set those salaries high because the negligible…
All fine for Big Tech workers, but let's not forget about the large array of others who work in more "pedestrian" parts of the IT industry, ie those working for enterprise shops who are still working through the early…
Comparing the original statement to the subsequent analogy is a bit like comparing an apple and an NFT of an apple...
A billion dollars today and a billion 10 years ago are not the same thing. It's not just a question of inflation either; there is more money sloshing around in VC (or similar non-retail funding sources) than ever.
