My 16" M1 Pro MacBook with 32 Gigs of RAM is still going strong. Not going to upgrade till this thing dies.

I can ride this puppy for the next 10 years. Say what you will about Apple but their hardware is top notch and it is a great value if you can snag some OG hardware in M series.

FYI, international students have to pay often significantly more as turion fee alone.

Smart local students go to in state public schools to avoid crippling debt.

So no one is going to talk about how the Model is a mathematical model which follows Bayes Theorem in it's core. It updates it's priors based on new evidence presented every day.

The whole point of the Model is to detect things which are uncertain by nature. Being wrong is not bad, it's good TBH.

CMIIW.

CS requires a lot of practice. Both in terms of theory and practical aspect.

Without it is difficult to make connection between theory and actual stuff you can run on computers.

And the subject is vast, making it difficult.

I call BS, that's not even possible. Even the legendary "tourist" cannot do it, in his own words. He programs like 2-4 hours on good days.

Did some Program Manager needed a promotion at Google? Looks like it.

I personally dislike such changes, which no one asks for. Either people are just pushing their BS through Google higher ranks or they have no clue how their users actually feel and use their core product.

Hey man, why you have to burn someone so hard that they curl up in their bed crying tears of agony like a little pussy?

The amount of wastage I see in online store returns is mind boggling.

I recently ordered something from a manufacturer on Amazon. After couple of days, they dropped price on product by $20. So I called up Amazon for price adjustment. I was politely asked to return it to manufacturer and order a new one.

Seriously, Amazon cannot work with manufacturers to just refund price difference instead of returning the product and ordering it again. It is wasteful at so many levels.

You do realize people do not run through their luggage like yoga pants or sneakers.

Most people use the same luggage for years, I use mine for atleast 10 years. Where is the logic in your reply?

Wait this company makes luggage? And has such high valuation, how?

Not sure why are you correlating unrelated reasoning with MS deal with US Military.

You seem to suggest that MS is poor at Cloud game, which is not exactly true. They are cost effective compared to AWS and catching up.

Maybe military wanted to save money. May be this is all about a better deal after all.

For you it isn't. But for a lot of us it is cumbersome and just plain complex.

Oh... Tell me more why being not multithreaded is a failure for Redis?

Well it does makes sense because this is the ground reality, not all startups make it. Engineers never get preferred shares no matter how hard we try to think so.

Class shares are a thing to protect investor money not engineer interest.
