You should try to get a job in Azure, you’d feel right at home!

.net462 baby!

More like 4.6.2

Very little, as in fingers in hand, little in Azure

Meanwhile, I recently proposed doing the work of updating the runtime versions from .netframework over to even .net5+ to save $millions/quarter.

I ran benchmarks, showing 2-10x+ improvements.

Got told, “lol no, this service is unlike Bing”. For context, Bing has amazing blogs on this*.

This, btw is inside networking for Azure…

Not sure at what point I should stop caring. Could easily improve operating expenses to the tune of hundreds/billions per year if they applied this across Azure.

To be explicit this is a problem with the system, whereby an arbitrary thing can demand by force something.

I wish EU/US et al wouldn’t do this but they do. Let’s further the comments outside this point.

I’m going to get downvoted for stating the obvious but …:

Lots of comments talking about “but US subsidiary, still has to follow US laws if mandated”

If I added the amount of sources where the EU imposes something on a non-EU company here it would crash the server.

It’s not, if you look at his X account, he talks about his work adding on the CUDA parts

Vultr has gpus and locations in Miami.

Good pricing and easy to spin up/down machines.

Sovereign immunity needs to be rid off entirely.

This all stems from the idea that God anointed the king, therefore he can do no wrong.

Except we know that humans are corrupt, malevolent, etc.

All individuals/offices in government should be liable for their actions.

I’ve found significant code in c/c++ where bitwise operations are done for things like division etc by shifting a certain way.

I Can imagine in the past, this was “faster”, yet clang/gcc can emit the same by just writing a basic A/B function.

Seems the win goes to readability by reducing some of these old school hacks.

What say you, greybeards ?

This is just the decay of knowledge over time and laziness combined.

From a quick glance internally, the overwhelming majority of repos are using an antiquated build/packager that while it might have been useful a decade ago is a productivity killer today.

The newer build / package system used publicly is light years ahead and provides a boon in productivity.

Not really sure why so many services in MSFT still run .NetFramework when “just” migrating over can lead to sometimes order of magnitude increase runtime performance and decreased resource consumption.

I think one of the real reasons is internally, most of the leads aren’t aware of it. There should be more evangelizing of the .NET team across the different orgs

Would be interesting to see how far a J2EE app will take you on this!

Lol “violence blabber”. Call a spade a spade.

I too am from South America, never have I seen anyone down there assume they are “American”.

This is just a ban list, or better yet a black list to bring a 1984 dystopia.

This isn’t an issue for anyone but for people like yourself.

Like you said there are a couple words used for Americans in Spanish:

Gringo, Americano, Estadounidense.

That set of words does not intersect with any words used to describe anyone from South America. This applies to slang or official sources.

Please show me an example where a Paisa from Colombia or Argentino would like to be referenced as “American”.

In fact, especially with the World Cup win, any warm blooded Argentinian would fight if called “American”.

Plus it’d be an easy fight as someone who’s pushing for “words are violence” has clearly never experienced real violence.

Well yes. Look at the increased mortality across the heavily vaccinated countries. German insurers are coming out saying there’s a non-COVID /non-standard “thing” that’s impacting people, in particular, males.

Places swanky enough to offer stocks and benefits.

The idea that all are equally lined up against the wall for quick execution. Typically happens at swanky/rich companies leading up to more “equity/inclusion” pushed down your throat.

Inside Azure there’s an over reliance to C#, and the older versions of it to boot! So one team in charge of making .NET run faster and better, while the other one drags on using decade old versions

Then for “speed” there’s weird mashups of C++ and C# that are just littered with terrible internal build tools that harken back to a nice 2010s and the idea of:

“Idk it builds in my machine just fine”

As far as Rust goes, it’s as plentiful as F# projects (so not existing).

But that’s just what my close friend says at least.

Typically taxes. As the good is "officially" imported by some company, tariffs are applied at the port.

So in such countries, the "official" big store price is $price + $tariff + $profit-margin. Or you do what most people in such a place do is either travel abroad and or get a friend etc to bring you one.

The gov gets wise to this and so they then begin saying things like "travelers can only have 1 used phone and 1 new phone on them".

Happened to me once when traveling abroad. I had taken like 2 xboxs to sell for marginal profit, when they opened my bags and confiscated one of them. Had to pay say $100, which for a $200-300 item is a STEEP tariff.

If i didn't pay it, i'd essentially relinquish the item altogether. Sweet life.

Did you use KVM accelerator? I think there’s also another flag to use the native cpu without emulation that you can use in your case. But I’m a newb at qemu

Uh cpu onry I’m afraid. I’m going off of the basic geekbench benchmarks. My qemu instance was near the top of the list for all macs they track. It was even higher than one of the Mac “max” pro machines which was interesting.

I didn’t pass through the gpu, only because I’ve got an NVIDIA one right now. To use the newer OSX you need AMD.

Meanwhile the elites of the world are keep buying up waterfront properties. Weird! By this logic, you'd see the elites buying up real-estate in places deeper inland.

Another thing to note, is that there are billions of dollars going into new commercial properties which are meant to be around decades. Why would any financial entity finance/insure such a project if all the projections show the project to be doomed?

Dual boot into a linux OS and run :

https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM

The repo works well. Tweak the CPU cores and type for emulation. If you're running an Intel CPU you're pretty set as you wont be required to emulate as if you were one (aka running a Ryzen perhaps).

On my Ryzen 16cores, I get about 90%+ performance inside the OSX vs my native machine.

If not going with dual boot, while you can run QEMU with windows, you won't have the KVM accelerator which is how I got high performance. You might want to try nesting a Linux inside Hyper-V and then running Qemu inside of that.

If only $2trillion+ was dumped into nuclear, cancer, and malaria/dengue research!

But first, fix your gopath

Exactly, and the thread is about the other side of the coin.

Which scenario are we talking about here? Is it:

You live in a poor country making $50k-$100k, and the US devs are making $100-200k.

You live in a poor country and get paid sub $30-50k, and US gets paid $100k+?

I used to live in Ecuador, and the “official” min wage monthly is ~$300USD/mo. So essentially you can hire a full time nanny, cook, etc for sub $1200 easy.

That’s never going to happen in the US with less than $400k+.

So in US 150k+ is top 20% of income or there abouts. But in a random poor country, $100k+ is probably top 0.01%, right? What am I missing here?

Also what is your skill level and could you quickly replace this job with another at the same or higher rate?

Lastly, if you really want to move, there’s 30+ countries you could move to in the interim if you really wanted out of your country. Canada is relatively simple, there’s tons of Caribbean islands that can grant you citizenship for sub $200k, which you can then use to travel freely without visa restrictions globally. Same with EU countries like Malta etc.

Exactly! Most people view things simplistically and even backwards!

Why is Shake Shack better tasting than McDonalds? All they have to do is pay them better!

Why did Nokia fail when the iPhone launched? All they needed to do was pay devs better, duh!

Take a look here https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM. Post install, I use the "Opencore-Boot.sh" script to boot the machine and inside of it modify the cpu "Penryn" to Icelake one assuming you're running a Ryzen one.

I did get some warnings from QEMU along the lines of "X register doesnt exist" or something but the machine runs fine and geekbench runs fine as well. Play with the cores/threads settings as well. If you go too high (for me was around 8), it doesn't boot up and just hangs.

Checkout https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM. The README is pretty complete.

I ran OSX on QEMU/KVM on a Ryzen emulated to be an IceLake Intel cpu and got close to ~90%+ performance of my native machine according to geekbench.

So my QEMU OSX instance got better performance than a Mac Pro max, very well near the top ~5 scores for macs in geekbench.

Props

I’d like to see this same report circa 1970:

“Inaction will lead to an ice age costing $X by 2020”

meanwhile there’s another thread here about a “Contrarian VC” investing in climate change…
