Billions of dollars. I’d love to see an audit of the NYPD.


How’s the union supposed to bend with the company missed a $530 million payment to the pension?


No one in their right mind would read that title and think 100 degrees Celsius.


Nothing says news like the ocean boiling like a teakettle making sealife stew.

On the plus side, jambalaya. On the minus side, ecological catastrophe.


All code is legacy code from day 1.


Good luck with your Linux keyboard?


I'd imagine they're switching off Apple devices too. Perhaps to a manufacturer that doesn't rivet the keyboard to the top case making it stupidly hard for mere mortals to replace without replacing the whole top case. Like ThinkPads. I did that. Even stuck a Japanese keyboard in my W520 for like $30 for funsies and extra thumb keys.


I replaced a bunch of Dell laptop keyboards in 2006. Easy peasy.


LinkedIn says this is the case quite openly.


I don’t know. It’s pretty easy if you just don’t use cache.


Just flush it down the toilet when it stinks.


and orders of magnitude slower!


The amount of inefficiency in code these days is a testament to the enormous computational power of modern computers. We're talking billions of multiplications or additions per second and millions of division per second.

A mad genius could code most business logic to never be greater than o(n) outside of the most complex of problems. At that point a cache would become a liability due to cache invalidation errors, one of the hardest problems. Not that I recommend this approach. Caches are good tools and can help with DOS.


I think you vastly underestimate just how much slower DRAM is compared to cache (SRAM). Your super fast CPU will be sitting idly doing nothing if it were not for the caches between it and DRAM, which keep it fed with data and instructions.


we take a clean-room approach to computation.


As much as folks are downvoting you there’s a nugget of beauty in your demand - our systems should abstract caching. Ideally your web server framework should cache results itself. Your db too. If Postgres was good at it you wouldn’t need redis as well right?


CPUs already do, except for when the abstraction breaks down for performance reasons.


Sounds like you might like a server based framework like wordpress


Contact your local bar association.


Exactly what a money launderer would say. Busted.


You and I have different definitions of funny.


I am not a native English speaker. Here I used funny as a synonim for strange, which is probably a mistake due to me extracting most of my English knowledge from Hollywood films.


For a moment I thought you outed yourself as German, because a sentence like: “Komisch, ich hatte ein Interview mit ihnen letzte Woche.” works just fine. But we German’s have no sense of humor so I’ve heard. Also an explanation.


>But we German’s have no sense of humor so I’ve heard.

That's how Germans are perceived but having met Germans I know that's totally not the case.


Your use of funny was appropriate here.


Your use of sarcasm is spot on though
