I always wondered why L1 caches couldn't just be bigger. L1 caches need to be close to clock speed of the core and bigger caches means increased latency because the bottleneck is length of the bit line and number of word lines which increases with capacity.

These drives aren't for retail sale. They go into various products. With the newest product they are offering 20 cents per GB max capacity 19.2PB and three years of support. See FlashBlade//E https://blocksandfiles.com/2023/03/01/pure-flashblade-e/

Isn't sales a leading indicator?

I am a developer who has never worked on C++ but want to get into it full time, I did C in college, Java for the first few years in my career then Python and now exclusively Go.

When I pick up new languages and I did that for a bit with Rust, I read a bit then code a bit and found https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings very helpful. Is there an equivalent for C++? What would be the top resource to get started on modern C++? Thanks in advance.

One of my biggest complaints with laptops is the heat and that I always end up putting like a book underneath so that my lap isn't in directly contact with the heat. If apple intended to keep the outer shell cooler, I will any day take it over the slightly higher performance that folks are getting with a thermal pad.

Yes it is a community project but VMware engineers play a big part in maintaining as it is foundational to the kubernetes product that VMware sells. Open source does not mean it runs by itself.

Multi billion dollar businesses. Just look at AWS EKS.

Quite agree, Dell/EMC treated VMware as independent.

For anyone who doesn't know, VMware has doubled down in open source in the past 3 years, especially Kubernetes. I don't think Broadcom really understands how investment in open source works or for that matter cares.

Half of my org of ~500 engineers works on upstream projects.

Not available anymore? Product page says contact an email address for buying.

I am empathetic to both sides and strongly believe in second chances. With the amount of push back this person is getting, the chances of him being successful in their role is slim to none, if I were them I would decline the offer at this point.

(sigh) The pendulum has swung too far in the other direction.

They do have a way of creating distractions to bury the stories that they don't like. The Cyberwhistle was launched just around the time of the whistle blower stories that were coming out. Kind of smart and I did not realize the connection until after a while.

So having a Dealer deal with it helped? As in they did the inspection for you and got it fixed?

No it wasn't the dealer that replaced the wheel but a receiving port of the manufacturer in the east coast.

I did not buy my car from the dealership lot. They had to put in an order and I waited 3 months for it to be finally available for me to pick up. I could track everything happening with the car. The car was sitting in the container port for an usually long time (2 weeks) so when I asked my dealer he tracked it down and said there was curb damage to the wheel and they had to wait for replacement.

Now, I don't expect this kind of service from Tesla but my point is it doesn't matter if you are able to test drive it or not from the dealership and inspect for defects; the manufacturer should have a rigorous quality process that doesn't let these kind of slip ups to happen and if it does happen make it right by the customer.

Copy/paste without attribution to license or permission is more blatant.

In all the enterprise companies I worked for we are drilled with required learning and assessments which often include training on software licenses. The aim of these training is devs to keep an eye for license and defer to someone higher up if in doubt. These processes are manual and catch only so much.

In companies with mature software processes there is always tooling that will block a release if it finds unacceptable license. To me it looks like TikTok hasn't properly invested in tooling and this somehow slipped.

How has the uHoo sensor worked for you?

My agent was traditional and would get a standard 2.5% commission if I went through with the purchase.

The seller agent was a Zillow employee since the home is owned by Zillow. My agent was not a Zillow employee.

We recently went through buying a Zillow owned house in Phoenix AZ and response and attitude from the selling agent and zillow was pathetic. They took 3 full days to send the signed contract after they told us we our offer was accepted.

Couldn't get the inspection done within first 9 days(inspection contingency is 10 days) of signing the contract and only got a response when we said we were going to cancel escrow. Got the inspection complete on the 10th day and there were so many issues with the house and repairs done that we felt it was not worth the negotiation to sort it out with Zillow and decided to back out. Not sure if this is a general trend but my agent was fed up and he said he will never deal with Zillow again. This was 3 weeks ago.

This is awesome. I always enjoy her articles as they have so much depth.

Browser reader view is another option.

Off topic: Snakes creep the hell out of me and I can't even look at my computer if there is an image and these slides have 4 or 5 of them.

If the earthquake was so big then coming up with the cash needed for the deductible would be at the bottom of my list. Instead I would try to find an alternative place to live for 6-12 months. If there was an insurance that covers living and mortgage expenses for an year, I would totally buy that.

yeah, exactly my thinking. Insurers would just go bust.

I live in CA and often considered getting earthquake insurance but the premium and deductible are bonkers that it almost never makes sense to me. A $2500 premium for 20% deductible on everything separately(construction, personal belongings, construction premium, loss of use...). So in the event of a massive earthquake I am supposed to shell out > $200k out of pocket for the deductible before the insurance kicks in, why would anyone pay for this?

I cancelled via chat 2 weeks ago. Was just asked 1 question by the bot which then forwarded the transcript to a live agent who then went ahead and cancelled without further questions. Maybe they updated their policy recently?

I always thought VMware was super lucky to have Pat as CEO. The mood is pretty grim today at VMware.

Was just thinking the same!
