I still have a Warp box that boots:) It's a Pentium 133. Back in the day I did a lot of OS/2 Systems Engineering plus some coding. Fun times. Great OS.
The case presented was of course at the more extreme end, but how many thousands, probably millions, suffer from the same thing to a lesser but still significant degree?
The distractions around us are indeed endless. Someone sends us a text and wonders why we don't answer within, literally, seconds. We're never off work (in many professions) because we carry our phones everywhere, and we're "always connected."
Electronics have advanced us greatly but there's no free lunch.
So now we see the rise of things like the "Pomodoro Technique" --- a means of doing as the subject of the article did, namely, concentrate on just a single task for a period of time.
Do we own our devices or do they own us?
That is a real and relevant question.
It is a real question but not even a little relevant. You own your devices. If you let them 'own' you then it's your own failing.
I am fifty. While I have had a couple with brief tenures, the majority of my jobs have been 5-10 years or more. It wasn't even a matter or being stagnant. I got raises, promotions, and challenging work that I enjoy. I would say it depends on the person. Choose the right jobs and have the right skillset and one does not have to jump too often.
Are you really that dense or are you trolling? They were stealing. That shows a lack of character. I'd fire them as well, even if I were running a startup.
Why would anyone want their refrigerator connected to ANY network? It is a cold box to store food in. Are people really that lazy now that they need their fridge to tell them when they are running out of eggs?
It's a cluster of 4 8 core CPUs connected via a high speed interconnect. I'm not saying that is bad; I just wish a tech site would have more accurate reporting.
The vast majority of companies, including Apple, do not lobby because they think they are doing the right thing so deserve a tax break. They do it because their legal teams tell them it's legal to ask and that the narrative could be a winner. Good intentions are nothing to do with the algorithm.
They do provide decent service but not for the lowest price. I've made two trips from Pittsburgh to Dallas in the past two months. The first time I used Uber. Nice enough guy, good service, got me to my hotel. The second time I used a cab services. Nice enough guy, good service, got me to my hotel. Both cost around $50.
Uber is a shit company because of multiple fuck ups and bad business practices. I know you seem to have a love affair with them but facts are facts. From sexual harassment issues to illegal use of software they have repeatedly shown a culture of sociopathy at heights few other companies reach. One can argue that they just got caught at it more often than other companies, in which case I would say that then they are a shit company for being so blatant and getting caught/called out over and over.
It has nothing to do with the architecture at all. One can write code that can handle 64 bit values easily on any architecture. Sure it takes a tiny bit more work but people do it all the time.

I recall having SMP issues on a Pentium Pro (I know, I keep dating myself) dual CPU system and Warp/LAN Server.

They probably would run this variant just fine.

It is kind of like someone calling themself JaredOfEuropa. Names are all arbitrary and made up.
Most people who buy Apple think $100 is cheap.
Don't feed the trolls. They produce too much CO2 when you do because then they keep on yapping.
Came here to extol the camera on my Pixel XL. Just about every review puts it in first place even against Apple and Samsung's best.
My wife's Nikon DSLR is of course better than all of them, but for casual photography you can't beat the Pixel.
Call him what he is; the world's most powerful crime lord in history. Who do you think the Russian Mob answers to?
Buy a Pixel with Project Fi. I don't get ads. I get pure Android.
In what universe does IT run the business? None, unless it's an IT company.

Starbucks? Please. Their coffee sucks. My wife grinds fresh beans for me in the morning.
All statistics can be used to lie, but frankly I don't give much of a fuck about people who become defeated and stop looking for work.

I was speaking more in a language agnostic sense. A 4 bit processor coded with punch cards could handle 64 bit values with enough effort.
Their algorithm is flawed though. I got the same thing and mine was donkey porn, not horses.

Pretty much everything on /. is clickbait and/or slashvertising since the acquisition.
No, they are very good at pretending to do things successfully and act as if it is 'innovation'.
Good point. I wonder if he'll be able to do the needful!
