It's frustrating sending fixes to Spotify when you come across something incorrect. It takes so long for any action to be taken that I've given up.

That was a graphics driver IIRC

I am in Europe, and bought mine from a European Amazon, but no SD-card. I still use it, and yeah the camera is definitely quite far behind. I'll probably go for a Xiaomi soon.

Non-expandable storage is the big miss for the 1st gen Moto G.

There could be some lag involved. The children of 3 decades ago are now having their own children and are deciding their freedoms. I think crime was lower in the US 6 decades ago than 3, so each generation may be reacting slowly to a perceived level of danger.

>Can you trust any of the advice from her book?

This is pretty much the norm for business books. This time it just isn't backed by survivorship bias.

The support contracts on these tools runs into huge figures, there can be 100s of engineers keeping a small number in production. Each sale is essentially a huge contract, not a one-time payment.

> Its all just different levels of discrimination.

Aren't some of those levels enforced legally?

Modern BGAs will often need that many layers just to break out all the signals.

That's not quite the same usage as Reagan though.

You also need to allow for failure conditions. If a power tube fails as a short or low impedance, which will vaporise first: your thin tracks, or your fuse?

>algorithms were invented on paper first

This I can see, but the parent seems to be talking about commercially viable software. I think people should be careful when discussing imprisonment as some kind of distraction-free vacation for intellectual pursuits, the reality is that a large amount of time would be spent caring for your mental wellbeing.

Has anyone ever done this? There have been successful books written in prison but not many, and that translates much better to pen and paper than software does. It sounds like something of a fantasy to be honest.

>Forget finding a new set of DTL transistors for a PDP-1

Is this true? I would've thought we have millions of equivalent devices available

Anything with critical timing that runs over a parallel port can be very tricky to get working in a VM. It means running a realtime OS on top of a non-realtime OS, with some abstraction layers added. A C64 is very deterministic in comparison.
