The entire chip is probably just one giant fully utilized vector unit by now

I had exactly the same reaction to the early Facebook "Zuckerbot" theme, and something ineffable absolutely died in the transition. The failure of the front end industry to recapture it and sell it at a profit is interesting in itself. Did not come here for this comment, but it's left me with enough to think about that I'll close the thread now.

The beatings will continue until the yield curve improves

This hasn't been true in the UK for at least a few years now

You have to install a browser extension to use email? Who had this bright idea?

About 10 years ago it was possible to observe non-RFC behaviour from (IIRC) google.com doing exactly this. I don't know if they still do it

There is a lot to be said for just having 100% Terraform defs for everything, sure you rewrite the file from scratch to move to a different cloud, but you know what needs to be in the file

Folk talking about austerity as a tory thing are going to be in for a monster shock if energy prices persist through the next elections, and when they realize the size of the Covid bill vs the GFC bill. It may very well be Labour sitting as the final nails are driven into the NHS, just by sheer luck of timing

Would OP please consider updating this thread with the outcome of the email exchange. Seems too easy to pop into every complaint thread and act busy. Would love to know if your problem is actually resolved

I've worked formal 3 and 4 day week arrangements. Net experience: it's pointless, if you're working 4 day weeks and you're feeling behind, you may well end up working that 5th day without anyone asking.

Similarly in a 5 day week arrangement, I've never felt compelled to actually work the full week especially when I'm ahead.

Ignoring any formality, I think most folk work a 2-3 week if they were honest about it.

I wouldn't sweat having a 3/4 day arrangement as a reason to pick one company over another, especially if the offer is implicitly part of attempting to screw you on salary

Confused by their claim to be the 'first' vector database. These things have been around forever? For example FLANN (not a DB server, but example lib) is from 2009

Curious what the perf tradeoffs are of multiple EBSes vs. a single large EBS? I know of their fixed IOPs-per-100Gb ratio or whatnot, maybe there is some benefit to splitting that up across devices.

Is it about the ability to dynamically add extra capacity over time or something?
