I've often wondered if retailers apply pressure on clothes manufacturers to provide more sizing information.

S/M/L often requires simply guessing

Interested to see what he chooses to work on now

Perhaps it's useful for 3rd parties trying to develop device drivers. Can read the code when they're wondering why something is the way it is

It might be in their courses, but they doesn't mean they understood or retained it properly. Lots of programmers get by without ever reimplementing those in industry work

I looked at the list, it might be my US-centric bias but I'd only heard of 2 in that list before and they weren't big

Most chips run rather cool, user-facing CPU in laptop/desktop/server are a bit of an exception

Lack of access to free healthcare?

Citation needed for copilot being fair-use

And they can back-out/revert if they decide to as well
