My point is the article is wrong. You can really call yourself whatever you want in this day and age. Recruiters are all keyword searching in linkedin. They don't care if your selected title is programmmer, software engineer, developer, or lord of darkness. They care if you matched for the skills they are looking to hire, and if your resume makes it clear you're a good hire.
But if you are saying half of all people can be programmers, that's not much more of a hurdle than construction. Maybe less because construction does have significant physical requirements.
We resist this strongly in the US because of the history of people promoting themselves to 'lord' and then demanding the right to tax you and such. So we don't let anyone set claim to a title, though in a few cases we restrict your right to both name yourself something and actually practice at the same time. So you can call yourself a psychologist if you want, as long as you don't make money doing anything remotely resembling therapy.
You laugh, but that was very close to someone's actual title at Blizzard (we picked our own titles). He got recruited away. Why? He was really good at his job.
Programming has one advantage over construction workers: it's mind-numbing indoor work. Most people cannot stand it. That's the real hurdle keeping people out of the industry.
Oh man you country boys are in for a shock. Nothing breeds cold like city life. I've lived both places. The city folk are vicious in a way the country folk don't appreciate. Yet.
Yeah, the Greeks are exactly who I'm talking about. Rather than repay their debt, their landlords are scrambling to devalue it to avoid war/chaos. They've already agreed to cut what the Greeks owe by half, and they are just getting started.
How is the guy with no food and no oil for his transportation going to reach your remote rural farm again? And obviously, buying a few big guns is a key part of rural subsistence survivalism. There's also an upper limit on the differential in gun capabilities to kill in a one-on-one situation.
Yeah, putting 'safe' in quotes there is exactly right. Thanks to the downgrade, all those people going to TBs for 'safety' should hopefully be waking up to just how unsafe an investment that is, and putting their money into something higher rated.
Well, that's exactly what happens with favors. The further into our past you helped us out, the less we believe our current welfare was dependent on you, the more we revert to believing we independently created our situation. So yeah, you helped me out, but really, it was only half a chicken's worth. I might have said a chicken's worth, sorry, I overvalued your contribution.
I was including Nintendo/Sony handhelds. They surely aren't going to eliminate the other market, just be more common. I'm just predicting that handheld gaming will be 51% or more of gaming. It may already be true, but it surely will be true soon if not.
Yeah, it's that magic I'm talking about. That's absolutely horrific to program with. And if you cant mix your void * with your ints, that's also horrible to program with.
I'd expect it within 5 years, which seems to be the rough time-frame in which ARM expects the first of these CPUs to be built. This is just the architecture announcement. They need to get it out there so people can begin building tools, etc. There's barely enough time to get all that work done in time before this becomes a serious handicap for ARM, so that's my definition of soon.
It also supports 64 bit addressing. So by whichever definition you prefer, it's a 64-bit processor. Unless of course you demand full 64 bit address space as your bar for true 64-bitness, in which case no one sells such a processor yet.
Mobile devices are going to be the most common platform for games soon, including 3d games, and there you can definitely use more than 4GB for a process.

When you're a person, the landlord kicks you out. When you're a country, you shoot the landlord in the head when he comes to try to kick you out.
When I said no one offered such a processor, I think I pretty obviously meant the physical address limitations.
Because intel has the leverage to get those tweaks into windows.
They're fighting reputation. If it was $4k more, they would probably lose too many sales to make up the price difference.

Nope. E=mc^2. If you're getting energy out, there's less matter left than when you started.
Probably Christmas 2013. 2014 at the latest. By then no 'gamer' system sold in the previous 2 years will have had less than 8gb ram.
I find that liquid water with the oxygen removed is generally far too cold to drink comfortably.
The registers are 32 bit, though, which means paged addressing. No one wants to write apps in that environment.
But with 32 bit registers, that's paged. No one wants to write paged applications.
