Readit NewsThe personal/political aspect aside, I can think of multiple projects that could have benefited from an approach like this.
I'm often astonished by the inefficiency of project delivery, particularly in large companies.
Teams spending months building sub-systems from scratch, where there is an off the shelf(sometimes open source) tool that will do the same job and better.
Man years of work going into chasing trends like "serverless" or "microservices" for no real reason, when a monolith running on a server, could be delivered in a fraction of the time and probably do a better job than what ended up being built.
I'm convinced that paying two teams to work on the same project would often cost less than paying for the huge teams and cost overruns I've seen.
I disagree, such an approach completely desensitizes the human aspect of work and treats the people working as commodities that are expendable.
Engineering is hard, teams might need to go through multiple iterations/generations to get the desired results. A better investment would be to develop the right engineering culture rather than Team A vs Team B duking it out.

I’ve recently upgraded from a gtx550ti (~10 y.o.) card to an RX 570 (3 y.o.), and even though I get way more performance, it introduced a noticeable inputlag in csgo.
It just doesnt feel right, and slowmo video capture confirms it.
CSGO is CPU bound, I'd suspect maybe it has something to do with the CPU rather than the GPU.

Because of the 12MB L2 cache as the point of unification. 865 snapdragon has a 4mb L3. Same as my recent intel MacBook.
Apple can use at least as much more die as amd/qcom/intel’s profit margin.
Also being on TSMC5 on top of significant micro architecture improvements ; ~630 instruction deep ROB, ability to queue ~150 outstanding load instruction and ~100 outstanding stores and huge TLBs which reduces swapping the anandtech article does a great job going into explaining this.
If the workers are screwed, they will stop working for doordash, increasing the costs to doordash and therefore speeding up their demise.
By tipping you are directly subsidizing doordash
You or I might have to privilege to choose our next jobs but for some people especially those in the services industry don’t have that and end up having to work doordash/instacart. Don’t attack the messenger when it’s probably easier for most people to stop using doordash.
If it was easy to produce smart kids then we would already do it, since smart people are so much more valuable to society the small amounts it requires to add that extra value would be nothing. But no country has managed to do this so far, its just a slow climb that follows the same trend in every western society no matter what policies they implemented.
