This is a reason why greed along with lust and ego are listed as cardinal sins. They all make you act unreasonably and will get you smacked for that even without waiting for the Final Judgment.
The professional cards are used for a different workflow where stability and visual fidelity matter the most and it involves certification of hardware and drivers for compatibility with various CAD and healthcare applications. This is principally the reason for high prices. Usually they cannot match the FPS scores of non-professional cards from the same generation as the latter ones are used primarily for fragging and in this case they focus on squeezing out every bit of performance while being more relaxed on stability concerns.
It happened to i5 before. It went from 2 hyper threaded cores to 4 single threaded.
Didn't it do the exact opposite when Westmere replaced Nehalem?
In the early evolutions they might have aimed for adding the graphics core while staying in the budget of reasonable chip size (and prize) . They went back to full 4 cores once the process improvements made it possible.
It happened to i5 before. It went from 2 hyper threaded cores to 4 single threaded. The standard for i7 is having 8 threads. It still stays but now with 8 full cores it will perform better, avoid HT security risks and with simpler cache the CPU will be more energy efficient as well.
I was listening to VoA in Poland in those days. Comparing to the present day trolling the most obvious differences are:
- VoA acted in their own name and did not pretend to be a local commie insider.
- They did not aim to affect elections as the voting results were "counted" independently of the votes being thrown.
- They did not lie about the state of communism as the truth harmed the communism more than any artificial efforts.
As it comes to the financial efficiency it is obvious that cheating and stealing are more cost effective than the traditional ways of producing wealth. Nothing to be impressed about.
The trolling part was the description of the game put by the developers with an insulting message to all those who see such game settings questionable.
It may be more about the brand recognition then profits. Creating a world leading product/service is not that simple even for the big companies (remember Codeplex?) but owning one brings some credits to the company brand and their other services. GitHub is the open source platform of these days and Microsoft themselves are currently having over 1800 public repositories there. So integrating the whole platform will just let them feel more at home there and earn some credits for owning the top code sharing platform.
It should not affect small businesses who already took a decision to host their code externally. Chances are high that with Microsoft supervision the platform will be even more secure. Only Google and the likes may be concerned by being depended on services run by their competitors and move to alternative places.
But since when is Facebook showing job ads? I have heard about some plans to show job offers for blue collar workers but only in some future. Never seen a job add myself there. I must be an old fart then..
Nevertheless looks that some companies wanted to reach Facebook users and reused Facebook's advertisement system intended for selling goods where you have to fill forms specifying target demographics. Most likely being too broad will cost you more.
Facebook once again proved to be slow in making conclusions of how it is being used. With current anti-Facebook hysteria it puts them all in hot water now...
I remember that in one interview Bill Gates directly denied it suggesting it might had come from IBM. Obviously he had no influence over computer memory size at that time.
The article says only that some computer builders do not buy an AMD graphics card for their systems with AMD processors. There is no mention of buying Nvidia cards for them either. They are just happy with the integrated graphics in their APUs. As they come from AMD the story has no point and is not a news.
Ryzen does not rename Zen. It is the name of the top end desktop processor line so in some sort replacement of the FX series. Zen as the name of a processor core and processor architecture still stays.
Facebook even scored twice as they managed to get Microsoft to provide them quite a lot of free advertisement that time. I remember creating my Facebook account because I thought it was one of Microsoft services from live.com I used at that era.
The Google interview process is famous for being hard to crack and I am pretty sure they would not object hiring someone over 40 if he passes it with flying colors. They even have on stuff some folks who remember Unix in its infancy. So it seems quite arrogant to claim being turned down only because of age. Whoever is suing will have hard time to provide proofs that Google is accepting less competent people than them just because the other ones are younger. The Google interview is just too rigorous to leave place for such manipulations and they do not have surplus of qualified candidates to discard them easily.
The concept of running outside directed by some content provided by a computer may go even further with advances in the Augmented Reality. Imagine for instance riding a real horse while the AR stuff makes you feel like hunting outlaws in the Wild West by creating their avatars and of course playing atmospheric music.
We are doing a disservice to kids by assuming that they can't grasp Differential Equations, Calculus, and Linear and Nonlinear Optimization. By limiting them, we undermine their capabilities and stifle their creative and inventive potential.
Who are you quoting here? It sounds to me like a mad scientist. I remember from my elementary school days seeing kids able to calculate surface of a circle given its radius or get radius from diameter when asked for it but not able to use diameter to calculate the surface. Equally not seeing a difference between 22 and half horses on a farm and 22 and half horses per farm.
My final point is that smart kids are expected to be able to find smart content on their own (like many games require some sort of exploration) and forcing the stuff through their throats may have the opposite effect. And of course during a software engineer career most of knowledge you have to acquire on your own time.
There are also some other factors at play like:
GPL vs BSD license, managed by nerdz like us vs some ivory tower in Berkeley, charisma of the leader, etc.
Every Nokia phone with Symbian OS had fully working TCP/IP stack and a few other things and definitely was more smart than Windows 3.1 era computers. Equally was smart enough to keep Microsoft with its Pocket PC phones/devices at bay. At least from 2004 you could install functional Opera HTML web browser and other apps like Internet messaging, IRC client, photo app with auto picture correction and of course games if you wanted. It is true that Java was an afterthought and most applications were written in C++. And yes, Symbian were very unhappy that few people knew about that because all those folks lacked that what Apple had.
That what helped Apple to stand out the crowd was much stronger marketing muscle (started to grow in the 8 bit computers era) and making no trade offs for crappy hardware like caring about running on systems with 4 MB of RAM. In long term it helped making them look like a quality and luxury brand. (Same applies to Apple vs Windows).

Don't worry. Oracle salesmen don't sell DynamoDB.
Probably both. On AWS they have a home made nosql database called DynamoDB which is optimized for cloud, dynamic scaling, fast updates etc.

This may be relevant for GNU Bison. With such an exposure the project may earn extra fundings.

Just their principal Windows build environment changed in March 2016 from VS 2013 (still supported) to VS 2015. This is no news... really.
People sensible about kernel size can always configure and recompile it.
