We already have multi-architecture computing. Ever since MMX, SSE, 3dNow, AVX and all that back in the late 90s SIMD architecture has been on the map. And lots of computing is nowadays offloaded to GPUs. Most real CPU cycles are wasted waiting from stuff from a disk while updating some visual doodah on a screen. We probably need a doodah coprocessor that executes CSS animations directly in hardware.
Actually the US has a very good and widespread welfare system. It is called the US Department of Defence. The only difference is that, when joining that Welfare program you are expected to do work of sorts, which is fine by me.
If you could get something like the DoD, but where people can do non-military work for a few years in exchange for the social and medical benefits (or for even longer) then maybe it would be better. Germany used to have Social Work as an alternative to conscription which worked out really well for it provided hospitals and old age homes and such with a steady supply of labour for a year and young people got something out of it (and most I know who did it say they are glad they did). When Germany stopped conscription it is these social institutions that suffered the most.
Read her book. She is a theoretical physicist calling out the supersymmetrical intellectual dream fantasy wanking that theoretical physics has become: book is called âsLost in Mathâ . It is a great read.
Agreed. My wife is a obstretician. I am a software engineer. Both work with complex systems that break because of no fault of the person working with it. If it happens in her case people die, kids are disabled for life. If it happens in my case I have multiple backups.
She has waaay more stress occasionally. But since their job is very much structured with with muliple people and systems in the background it much more boring than my job in many respects.
I have a highly skilled developer here who writes a database query that generates data for a Ruby program that he processes and loops over to generate a sequence of new SQL queries.
Same highly skilled programmer uses a keyword table, used to tag records and stores a pice of JSON in it as a string to record some button presses thereby removing any ability to query the data.

My dad drove same BMW for 20 years without hassles, and has a Volkswagen Kombi for, like 30 years. Ok, the VW had a Ford motor in it, but still.
He does live in South Africa though, and all of the German car companies have factories there, of very high standard, so that might help. All of the BMWs with left hand steering for hare built there. This being Seth Efrika, both were stolen, thanks a yahoo.
That said, he swears by Korean cars nowadays. Only drives Hyundai.

Patterson is a CPU architecture God.
If Erlang does stream fusion I am the pope. The concurrency is good though.
And hardware instructions for CSS since the machine animating a doodah while waiting for the disk in any case.
I like the BEAM, but elixir is a badly designed language. Who designs functional languages without algebraic sum types and pattern matching!?
Does not compose, except at the highest level of the application. The curse of NodeJS

Free Oxygen? Do you work on Mars??
Just like BeOS, it suppodts VESA. It used to support some really obscure card, which I just so happened to have. Very happy day.
I still have a laptop in the attic wih BeOS on it. Cant aay the same for Windows os OS/2
Christ. By that reasoning they should drop Word and push Notepad.
Cmd-Space âoeitermâ you mean.
All the Apple hating Linux Nerds do not get the power of a great GUI together with a terminal.
Well, a HIDDEN dotfile is sort of âadvancedâ(TM), no? But I agree with you on the rest?
Serious Question here. What do you do and how do you do it? I am really curious.
I am actually, for real, a German dad reading this on the beach on my iPhone while my 6 and 8 year olds are swimming in the sea.
Which reminds me, where the hell are they?

Tell me about it. As a native English speaker living in Germany that is the one mistake I correct about 5 times per day.

I have a cat that can program better than that.

Which brings us to the problem with my recentlyâ"ex employer. The management does not know these things either.

Are we supposed to understand this comment?
Design all the way baby!!!
