It was a joke, do you really think he believed this? He graduated from Lipscomb.

I've read about these "saturation divers". Guys that go down inside a diving bell for weeks at a time and breath a mix of helium. Only highly skilled divers can do this (ie, lots of experience), and if I remember correctly, have to stop by age 40(ish). So there's this narrow window of time where they can make that kind of money. But these guys could make $175-$200k.

Obviously this is a tiny, tiny fraction of welders for only a portion of there career. I just found it really fascinating how the whole process works. Living down there for days or weeks at a time.

On my wall the numbers only go up to the actual values bitcoin has traded at. And $10k today is only half the peak.

Anyway, the point is, it is a coincidence, nothing more.

I assume this would be awful for retail.

They want you looking around forever and hopefully buying some other things you didn't come in for specifically.

Same reason (I've heard) that milk is in the back of the grocery store. They want you to walk past everything and maybe notice something on the way to pick up that quick gallon of milk.

It's also been at $20k. You could basically throw a dart at a wall and hit a price that bitcoin has been at some point. Just a coincidence you read this today.

>meaning that which is free to consume is not free to make.

I guess it depends on what cost you want to include? I create content "for free" using my free time. Would you consider my mortgage, the cost of my computer, etc, to be part of the cost, so it is not "free" ? I wouldn't, because I would incur those costs whether or not I was making content "for free".

>I certainly remember people posting stuff on the internet for free out of their desire to share. I also remember lots of those people over the years shutting down their delightful sites because not having the time to keep doing things for free, nor the money to pay for the hosting or other things like that.

Yes, more and more all the time - exactly my point. And like I said in my original post, it is certainly there prerogative. If they don't enjoy it, they should stop.

Of course, and I agree, as I said in my original post:

>I certainly support Tony's decision to shut this down - it is his decision to make, and no one should feel FORCED to create content for free.

This is the important question. How well does it compare to the ARM based alternatives?

>some places work great with infinite scrolling (twitter [...]

First time I've ever heard someone refer to infinite scrolling on Twitter as great. I can't tell you how many times I accidentally scrolled to the top of twitter because I accidentally tapped too high on my iPhone and it jumped to the top, losing my place, which was dozens of "pages" down. It's the reason I never use twitter for more than a couple of minutes.

>There is no such thing as free content on the Internet

[...]

>Everything costs something to make. If a person is putting out content for free, that means they’re not getting paid for their time.

First of all, remember when people posted things on the internet just out of our desire to share things? I certainly support Tony's decision to shut this down - it is his decision to make, and no one should feel FORCED to create content for free.

But second of all, doesn't the second commend contradict the first?

>There's a psychological pressure to have the latest tech

You mean marketing? What company isn't doing that?

Wouldn't it be the opposite? They overpaid because these people were working all of this overtime?

I had to Google it because I couldn't find any definition anywhere. A "CL" is a change list - maybe, that's what I found from my Google search. It is a term used dozens of times on that site but never defined, as far as I could find.

> I don’t know a single developer that thinks “googling stuff means you’re not a proper engineer.”

I see it at least a couple times a week on sub-reddits related to software development. Junior devs who are convinced more senior developers are super-geniuses who know everything from memory.

There was a time when open source software wasn't so intermingled with commercial interests and people's professional lives that it was ok to make jokes.

Also, people didn't get offended so easily, which seems like a sport these days to see who can be more offended. I really miss those days.

>the fact that malls are (justifiably) regarded as a treasured social institution

Wait, people think malls are "treasured social institutions" ? I think it's just neat to look at creepy old malls that used to be full of people. I wonder if there's a name for that? Like the thrill of sneaking into school at night when no one was there.

Why did the shell scripts in my init system "suck balls" ? Init scripts worked wonderfully for me, systemd solved no problems that I had. What it did was add a lot of complexity to my world for no perceptible benefit. Maybe my desktop, that I reboot twice a year, boots up 1 second faster? Maybe? Probably not though, because the long tent is probably nfs mounts or something.

I think the reality is both have their pros and cons, and it depends on your use case.

If you are trying to use docker to build lightweight VMs you are really swimming upstream. In the (docker, etc) container world they use the phrase "pets not cattle". Containers are designed to be stateless (nothing is stored in the container) and to be spun up and down as demand changes.

https://devops.stackexchange.com/questions/653/what-is-the-d...

If you want to build a mini-VM using containers, LXC is a great choice. If you want to deploy software, easily, with CI/CD and [auto-]scaling, then containers are what you want.

I was thinking more, rebounded to 2008 levels + inflation?

Even if you hate AMD you have to be very thankful they are putting the screws to Intel. We need competition to drive innovation.

And I'm just sitting here waiting for the 3950X announcement so I can upgrade. Which, by the way, will drop right into my 2+ year old motherboard. Meanwhile, in Intel land, there's a new socket every 6 months.

Aren't most of those double digit gains just from the market rebounding from the 2008 recession?

I think 2012 was around the time when smartphone cameras got really, really good. There was a tipping point where people stopped needing point and shoots and it looks like further down the line that might even have impacted DSLR sales, maybe.

Thank you, this clarified so many things.

Thanks for sharing, I really love it.

According to the first graph they appear to have peaked in 2012 and dropping ever since:

2011: 16

2012: 20 <--- peak

2013: 17

2014: 14

2015: 13

2016: 12

2017: 12

2018: 4 (annualized rate of 8)

I love this site - would you share the details about the technology behind it? What's it written in, database, etc?

I haven't had any real driver issues in years and I run linux on all my machines. The closest is installing (via package manager) nvidia drivers for some machines, which takes all of about 30 seconds and a reboot.

It's really luck of the draw, you may get a machine that has a device without good driver support, but it seems increasingly rare. Some ThinkPads now officially support Linux and Dell has been producing the XPS 13 Developer Edition for years which ships with linux and is supported by Dell.

Anytime I hear about Forth I will forever be reminded of this:

http://www.atarimania.com/documents/FORTH-on-the-Atari-Learn...

I don't think most of the comments are directed at the 2019 model. Most even specify an earlier (2018) model. These have known issues. So I think that is "approaching absolute truth".

That's exactly the conclusion I've come to as well. My current car has CarPlay and there's no way I'll go back. And trying to charge me a monthly fee to use it is just insulting.
