I, for one, welcome our all-almost-knowing trade-secret-leaking waste-of-time-and-resources LLM overlords

“Data will not leak across workspaces because trust us.”

Yeah, and every other LLM has demonstrated such great abilities to avoid reproducing training material 🙄

Devices should never accidentally bend. Unless you drove over it with a car, chances are it wasn’t your fault.

Oh, it’s drag-and-drop only with no keyboard support whatsoever. Changing a variable is hidden beneath 12 menus, and it uses a proprietary IDE that locks up after every click. Looks great in screenshots though!

You can 100% fire all your developers!*

*As long as your business users have loads of free time and the skillset of developers.

Is DDOSing really a problem anymore? Any CDN worth their salt should handle even massive DDOS attacks no problem.

Just buy our vendor’s/partner’s SaaS solution and all of this magically goes away!

This article is actually pretty awesome! Definitely taking some notes for when my role requires management.

The article is not talking about async processing. It’s talking about the process scheduler and thread blocking. It even has a section titled “Real-time Scheduling” that talks specifically about the process scheduler.

It’s simply not possible to fit the author’s definition of real-time without using something like an RTOS, and the author seems to understand that. The main feature of an RTOS is a different scheduler implementation that can guarantee cpu time to events. The catch is that an RTOS isn’t going to handle general purpose usecases like a personal computer very well since it requires purpose-built programs and won’t be great at juggling a lot of different processes at the same time.

This is a ridiculous definition of “real-time”. To accomplish this you’d need to subvert the kernal’s scheduler, otherwise you’ll always end up with “unbounded” response times since a single program can’t control what else is running or which clock cycles are allocated to it. What you end up with is an OS that only runs one process per thread.

I’m tempted to abandon using Windows, macOS and Linux as the main platforms with which I interact.

Yeah, okay buddy. And I’m tempted to stop eating and sleeping because I’d like the extra free time.

$80??? 🫠

I’m not in the retrogaming scene, is that normal for a GBC?
