Being able to code things fast and have them execute slow is not a "fundamental flaw". It is a valid design choice and actual experts understand that.
This.
I write many programs that I end up running exactly once after they're tested and working. Runtime might vary from milliseconds to a week. But the thing that impacts my time is writing the code, not getting on with other stuff while the computer works for me.
I work in the good old US of A for a large techy corporation and my employer gives its employees an 8 week sabbatical every 7 years. It sound like the subject of TFA is taking his.

Skipping your veggies doesn't put you in ketosis. Not eating carbs and sugars does. It takes longer than a day to enter ketosis, though as the body has to become fat adapted.
I was speaking glibly. I'm a full time plant matter avoider and know well how to be in and out of ketosis.
The point is still valid, these devices will peg someone on a ketogenic diet as being drunk.
I think that was a great reply you made, I just want to mention that breathalyzers work by detecting the 'ethanol' that your blood exudes into your lungs. Lots of people think eating something will help, it won't. If you have alcohol in your system there is no way to keep your body from 'out-gassing' it into your lungs.
It detects ketones too. So if you are in ketosis, because you skipped you veggies yesterday, you can be stone cold sober and the machine will light up positive.
Yes we do business with Europe, both ways, sourcing and selling.
Complying with GPDR, for which the rules have been available for 2 years, was easy. Partly because we already took a basic position of taking the minimum necessary information.
We aren't going to be FUDed out of business by some nebulous worries about lawyers.
We have financial records. For the brick-and-mortar ship: User accounts, no. For the related but separate wholesale business, there are contractual relationships which include compliance disclosures.
People run around with their hands in the air worrying about how hard it is to comply with these things, when it isn't actually hard. It's just work.
The GPDR is European union legislation. not US legislation.
The compliance requirements like appointing officer roles by GPDR is not more onerous and certainly a subset of those imposed on US companies by PCI-DSS.

Fair enough.
I like files. They are objects that are persistent.
I like files, too, but they are not persistent objects. Files are persistent data.
Code, data. It's all bytes. Don't get lost in abstractions.

Ada is a subset of a HDL language used to design the CPU you are running your web browser on right now.
Both VHDL and Verilog are like the mafia. Hardware designers don't do business with those languages because they want to.
Designing logic for chips is on the order of 95% designing and 5% coding. We can use better front ends like myhdl, but it doesn't save much.
Better than Joy Division!!
It will return your data in a new order.

Just because software engineers find it hard, it doesn't stop hardware engineers managing just fine with it.
No. The problem is with the concept. Persistent objects are dangerous.
Insanity.

Just because people are too weak to sanitize inputs doesn't mean that storing bytes persistently is a bad idea.
Well coffee shops use sugar, which genuinely is a cancer causing chemical.
>We've never before seen Intel commercially use low-end processors to introduce a new manufacturing process.
Yes we have. However, if you're only paying attention to the desktop CPUs, you might get that impression.
I'm about to take my second sabbatical. I've been here 14 years.
In addition to the usual vacation, which is indeed piss poor compared to what I got in the UK.

Ahh, but carnivory is still an option.
Yep. That's why I don't eat plants.
So America has serious load management problems like those in South Australia?
Seems like it. On both coasts they've had problems leading to large supply interruptions with generator companies gaming the spot prices.
>the Hornsdale battery reacts faster than the integer linear program
It's a good thing they didn't use a floating point linear program.
Yep. A friend has a Tesla and put solar on his roof. He's never gone negative since.
>No, nuclear doesn't glow
Did Cherenkov radiation stop happening?

Charge a small amount, e.g. $0.50 per call.
Problem solved.

I can run Linux programs on my Linux machine. I've been able to do that for decades.
Linux based machines that hide the underlying functionality are simply stupid.
