Totally. Remember slashdot in the 1990s used to house a dynamic page on a handful of servers with horsepower dwarfed by a Nintendo Switch that had a user base capable of bringing major properties down.
I work at a 20-year-old mid-sized SaaS company. As long as the company has been around, product managers have longed for more engineers and strategies for engineers to ship features faster. As of around February, those same product managers across the org are complaining that they can't keep up with the pace at which engineers are shipping their features. This isn't just lines of code. This is the entire company trying to figure out how to help the PMs because engineers suddenly stopped being the bottleneck.
I don't know about 10x, but this could only happen if PMs suddenly got really lazy or the engineers actually got at least 1.5x faster. My gut says it's way more because we're now also consistently up to date on our dependencies and completing massive refactors we were putting off for years.
There are lots of reasons this could be the case. Quality suddenly changed, the nature of the work changed, engineers leveled up... But for this to have happened consistently across a bunch of engineering teams is quite the coincidence if not this one thing we are all talking about.
It's perfectly legal to train a human on copyrighted work and I think, depending on the country, it's not settled that training ai on the same data is illegal.
American here. My experience is that the US dollar seems to be accepted in tons of stores in countries all over in the Americas Europe and Asia. Trade is trade it seems.
As a regular human who plays games and doesn't know about chip architectures, one woud probably lump the wii and the switch closer together than the game cube based on the modes in which one can interact with the systems.
Wii is a game cube with a funny controller. Or, wii is a tv-only olde switch.
I appreciate that it has its own name due to being a transitional experience.
For those that haven't read the article yet, scroll down to the flame graph and start reading unit it starts talking about back porting the fix. Then stop.
I bet Microsoft would do something similar. If Microsoft entered an agreement with another company, Apple for instance, to build a version of word for the Mac, a fork, and part of the license has a requirement to attribute in the help file or something like branding requirements, and then Apple doesn't do it right, then Microsoft reaches out to Apple and tells them to fix it else be in breach of the license. They fix it, happy happy. They don't fix it and lawyers get paid.
This was MIT licensed open source software and an attribution clause was not properly respected. Hardly piracy.
This is EXACTLY what I remember people saying about Cell Phones and PDAs when they were popular in the 90s (people can't remember phone numbers any more), Google when it was first unleashed (people won't know how to use card catalogs and libraries any more), and then again about Wikipedia when it became popular. What actually happened was that behavior changed and people became more efficient with these better tools.
The name and address is valuable because it can be matched to offline behavior through a bill you pay or rewards membership you are enrolled in to further enrich the data associated with id_8z6748dxzh and combine it with your shopping history at Macy's and Safeway, for instance. This is even more valuable when combined with your cellular bill.
I've work in ad tech,and with CDPs for nearly 20 years.
I think you missed flash. And arguably, to the author's point, JavaScript in browser (not wasm).
