The article says developing the TPU was “very expensive for Google” at tens of millions of dollars. That’s between one one-hundredth and one tenth of one percent of Google’s 2018 revenue. Not expensive in my book at that scale.

Students are $5 a month. Same as one Starbucks coffee a month. It is cheap already.

All I know is while my refund is smaller than I expected, when I ran the numbers my tax bill is 1% less of my gross than last year. So the withholding math from my paycheck made things more even.

The OP was quoting the 8bitworkshop page which has an environment, now, for programming the Apple ][+ in the manner decribed.

You should share that goth/industrial list too, I love that stuff.

Too mellow for merzbow. And not as interesting.

Many more comments here, via a link posted yesterday to a hackaday which then linked to the original post link above:

After years of getting many if not most things from Amazon, my last several big ticket tech items were bought from Walmart online. The prices on identical items were better at Walmart.

Other things I've stopped buying from Amazon are the frequently-counterfeited categories of items (USB chargers, etc etc). I'll just go to Microcenter or Walmart or wherever local whose supply chain I have more faith in.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't see it that way. The point is that our senators and representatives really need to work together to end divisiveness. While that isn't currently happening, I see that as the problem rather than the way the system is laid out.

It has always been this imbalanced. That is the point... the Senate balances out the House (which is apportioned by population already) to ensure that large population areas can't force policy and laws that are onerous on small (population) states. In other words, this is not a bug, it's a feature.

Looks like it is actually $999.99? (plus $79.99 a year renewal)

No has mentioned it yet, but for coding and terminal windows, I've tried almost all of the others listed here, but I prefer and keep going back to DejaVu Sans Mono.

Good to know, thank you!

Noodler’s Ink Bulletproof Black is the ink you’re looking for. It’s the only waterproof fountain pen ink I’m aware of.

Looking at these photos makes me realize we have a major body posture problem. No wonder people are having pain in the neck and back a lot!

Also, the physicality of looking down all the time, hunched over, bent neck, is a literal embodiment of the word "downcast" -- and we wonder why depression is at an all time high. We literally practice being downcast all the time.

Looking at this and having these thoughts makes me realize that I need to adjust my phone habits.

NeXT mach was a microkernel as well based on CMU’s Mach 2.5 (in the first release) and was in the market in 1988. It was actually fantastic, even when I was running 0.7 of the OS in prerelease at LANL. Hurd started in 1990 so it wasn’t NEW new imho (originally based on Mach 3.0 although NeXT went there too). There are other ideological differences but the core mach microkernel ideology started at CMU in 1985 making microkernels an 80s technology as well.

Tocabe, in Denver, is very good, I’m a satisfied customer (Tocabe.com)

I grew up in northern New Mexico, and when a friend from a tribe would invite me to a tribal feast day, it was always an amazing experience- both culturally and gastronomically. I would love to see more of those dishes in restaurants.

Another thing that's crazy is that writers, artists, 3d model animators, and voice actors[1] never make $60 an hour doing this kind of work, and yet he lumped those things under "developer time" high-level wages.

[1](Unless they're famous people for their particular talent category)

Thanks, I hadn't caught that change to the 2018+ models. That also explains why I'm not a fan of the current model as they drive differently to me... I'm keeping my old XA-30 ;)

If it empowered everyone, it would be available on other OSes than Linux, Windows, and macos (ok, it is available on Android and iOS apparently and some *BSD variants too).

I'd love to use Rust - but my business requires support for, (in addition to Linux and Windows), Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and OS400 for me to serve my customer base.

Rust can't empower me there, it simply isn't available.

The Toyota Highlander shares the Camry platform. The smaller-then-Highlander RAV-4 platform is not shared with a car model.

I can’t use it my workplace because it doesn’t support platforms my product requires. (In addition to Linux and Windows, I have to support AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and OS/400). If Rust were more portable/ported I could start to consider it. For now that means I’m sticking with C++, C, and Java which work all those places.

Surprised Frank Herbert isn’t on the list, while generally agreeing with it outside of that omission.

And Vi Hart isn't just somebody either.

He wrote a followup to that post on his site: http://blog.rongarret.info/2008/02/what-are-programming-lang...

Main quote addressing your question:

"One thing that many people found unsatisfying about my how-I-lost-my-faith posting is that I never really got around to explaining why I lost my faith other than saying that I saw people being productive in other languages. Sorry to disappoint, but that was basically it. What I think needs clarification is exactly what faith I lost. I did not lose faith in Lisp in the sense that it stopped being my favorite programming language. It didn't (notwithstanding that I switched to Python for certain things -- more on that in a moment). What I lost faith in was that Lisp was the best programming language for everyone (and everything), and that the only reason that people didn't use Lisp is that they were basically ignorant. My faith was that once people discovered Lisp then they would flock to it. Some people (hi Kenny!) still believe that. I don't."

I think this would make a fun max4live sequencer tool.

Since iOS doesn't know your plan billing dates, this is up to the carrier. Verizon, as much as I despise how much I pay them, has a fantastic app that does exactly this (show used data this billing cycle), which after installation is in your notification center, one swipe away.

Very interesting but need a non-paywalled source.

The perfect character is ASCII (& Unicode) 0x1E (30) - "Record Separator" -- except that no modern keyboard can naturally type it, the ones that could are long since gone.
