(off topic, but cool domain name)

that's pretty much the first sentence of the linked article, no?

i thought it interesting how clearly the authors and their interests are described.

what i found interesting is that the authors are so clearly described, at the end of the article, which contrasts with most of the news sorts of articles i see online.

i never heard of Jacobin until today. I just thought it was interesting that they were open and clear about the authors, more so than is obvious in usual journalism online.

not at all...i thought it was great how it's clear

yeah i get what you mean, but it doesn't change what i said i immediately thought of when i read the quoted sentence.

> 2026 i4 is awesome. that's identical to my 2024 i4 xdrive40 (there's no i), _except_ the entire batch of i4 (i5,i7) built from late summer 2023 to early 2024 had faulty heat pump…

sometimes i wonder if i'm the only person who sees Sudeikis or Jon Hamm and thinks "nope". not self aware enough to know why, either. random thought.

what monopoly did they create? it seems they have competitors in everything they do.

definitely increasingly over the last years from outsider folks, agreed. lots of obnoxious sniping nonsense over the last few years too. anyway, fun stuff for folks like us otherwi…

was just thinking the same: it's so refreshingly well written (!)

Is your thesis published and at a URL? Since I'm an old parallelizing compilers person, I'm curious what you did. (genuinely curious, not obnoxiously curious). You should know a se…

Yeah it most definitely can. That said, you have a good point, in terms of how often it can.

Check the link above...it seems we're considering different topics. Most often these analyses were framed in terms of integer indices on multidimensional arrays in Fortran loops, t…

Yes, those are the ones we had. Wolfe had graduated before i was there.
