There’s tons of very profitable companies hiring right now - the “top-name” companies doing layoffs were all “growth-first, profit-never” types. We’re not in an industry-wide downturn and there’s a hell of a lot more…
If you’re a top performer you bail as soon as there are layoffs anyways. I certainly do. It’s rarely a sign that anything good is in your future, they’re often performed poorly, and the work environment post-layoffs is…
for one thing, zips are far less likely to destroy data than sourcesafe, which was famous for doing just that

You’ll have to wait until 3rd parties do those comparisons? Apple has literally never posted “here’s a ream of benchmarks vs the Dell XPS XYZ and HP modelnumbersneeze738462” — pretending this is indicative of some grand…

You could equally conclude that one of the reasons that very few people used it was because of the input lag.
Nit: Zen 3 increased the CCX size to 8 cores.

An extremely partisan voting block heavily flagging something is a piss-poor signal for on-topicness, come on. That kind of sloppy logic is a great way to let organized voting rings suppress uncomfortable news, though.…
It’s not just the number of points that matter, it’s points over time. 3 points very quickly will rocket you over 20 points in 4 hours or something. And comments factor in too, so commenting “why is this on the front…
You only have to look at Japan for the last few decades to see what the long term effects of deflation look like. Negative economic growth, few job opportunities for young people, investment and lending are…
At this point I’ve only got one non-arm64 container, and it’s solely optional support for testing some obscure cases that our CI infrastructure handles more robustly anyways. Your information is pretty out of date.

No, I don't think that at all. Clearly. The Windows mandate was a colossal, world-historic fuckup that I think is indicative of his impulsiveness and representative of his capacity for making very very poorly thought…
The point is that "he did a phenomenal job early in his career" rather misses that his early career is more "incredibly mixed bag containing disastrous missteps" than universally "phenomenal".
Like when they had to force him out of PayPal before he destroyed the company with his “rewrite the entire backend for Windows Server” mandate?
