I always wondered why L1 caches couldn't just be bigger. L1 caches need to be close to clock speed of the core and bigger caches means increased latency because the bottleneck is length of the bit line and number of word lines which increases with capacity.

Isn't sales a leading indicator?

One of my biggest complaints with laptops is the heat and that I always end up putting like a book underneath so that my lap isn't in directly contact with the heat. If apple intended to keep the outer shell cooler, I will any day take it over the slightly higher performance that folks are getting with a thermal pad.

Yes it is a community project but VMware engineers play a big part in maintaining as it is foundational to the kubernetes product that VMware sells. Open source does not mean it runs by itself.

Multi billion dollar businesses. Just look at AWS EKS.

Quite agree, Dell/EMC treated VMware as independent.

For anyone who doesn't know, VMware has doubled down in open source in the past 3 years, especially Kubernetes. I don't think Broadcom really understands how investment in open source works or for that matter cares.

Half of my org of ~500 engineers works on upstream projects.

Not available anymore? Product page says contact an email address for buying.

I am empathetic to both sides and strongly believe in second chances. With the amount of push back this person is getting, the chances of him being successful in their role is slim to none, if I were them I would decline the offer at this point.

(sigh) The pendulum has swung too far in the other direction.

They do have a way of creating distractions to bury the stories that they don't like. The Cyberwhistle was launched just around the time of the whistle blower stories that were coming out. Kind of smart and I did not realize the connection until after a while.

>So having a Dealer deal with it helped? As in they did the inspection for you and got it fixed?

No it wasn't the dealer that replaced the wheel but a receiving port of the manufacturer in the east coast.

I did not buy my car from the dealership lot. They had to put in an order and I waited 3 months for it to be finally available for me to pick up. I could track everything happening with the car. The car was sitting in the container port for an usually long time (2 weeks) so when I asked my dealer he tracked it down and said there was curb damage to the wheel and they had to wait for replacement.

Now, I don't expect this kind of service from Tesla but my point is it doesn't matter if you are able to test drive it or not from the dealership and inspect for defects; the manufacturer should have a rigorous quality process that doesn't let these kind of slip ups to happen and if it does happen make it right by the customer.
