Or all of their investment? Considering that very few end-users use Bing, ditching Google is like ditching the internet for much of their target audience, at least, most likely



Maybe not 0.15 and maybe not half a kilo but a whole kilo for 40p (approx 0.47 euro) is certainly cheap:

Not saying that it’s equivalent quality to Barilla but it’s definitely much cheaper


Cheaper brands also in Italy are sold for 0,50-60€/kg but not the best, that are about 1,5-2€ for a kg

Barilla 1,6€ https://www.carrefour.it/p/barilla-tortiglioni-n%C2%B083-1kg...

Brand not famous 0,7€: https://www.carrefour.it/p/pasta-reggia-48.-fusilli-1-kg/800...

But the price can be very different if you want a top pasta


Barilla is good but is not the highest quality brand, it is the most famous because of ads. De Cecco is better and slightly cheaper (I checked your link), possibly because they spend less in ad campaigns (and maybe in packaging?).


Yes I agree, also Pasta Voiello is a good one (and La Molisiana), I’m using Barilla as example because it’s the most famous. Anyway other best brands ar usually on the same price as Barilla, or slightly more expensive.


This is a rather clickbaiting title... in truth it’s just that Python 2 doesn’t differentiate between strings and raw bytes by default. Nothing to do with IP (v4 or v6) addresses or the string “node.example.com”


Personally, I reserve "clickbait" for links with no substance or value on the other side of the click, but I understand what you mean.

Yes, the intent of the title is to get your attention, but I'm not trying to get you to buy anything, collecting or selling user data, etc.

I really just wrote the post to share a debugging experience I had this year. It doesn't have to do with IPv{4,6} addresses themselves or any specification thereof, but it does relate to the Python 2 `ipaddress` library's handling of them and a pitfall you can accidentally find yourself in.

A dry, but more accurate title might have been

> Python 2's ipaddress library considers "node.example.com" an IPv6 Address


I don’t agree. Yes, of course everyone should consider if they really even need their DSL. But sometimes as the author rightly notes, sometimes the alternative to a DSL is a lower or significantly more complex existing interface style (such as SQL).


It’s not remotely as complete as about:config


chrome://about/


That's just about:about, not an about:config replacement.

When I took my MacBook Air in for repair with a UEFI password, they carried out the whole repair and just asked me to type my password when I arrived to collect it and ran a diagnostic on the machine to verify the computer was working. You shouldn’t need to tell/give an Apple Genius your password.


Nope, because the whole thing about Optane is that it is super low latency, like RAM, so yes, it’s slower to actually perform read-writes, but way faster than even an SSD disk for random reads making it reasonable suitable as a RAM replacement.


It should also be noted for those saying "well the Optane ssd's are fast but not THAT fast" A large majority of the latency from those drives is the PCIe layer.


Lol, looks like Linus actually inspired them. I mean with the whole DDR industry acting corruptly to keep prices sky high, this seems like a reasonable way to add some competition.


I assume you mean Linus from YouTubes "Linus Tech Tips", and not Linus Torvalds. Surprised you wouldn't clarify that considering what website this is.

Considering Intel's history, I wouldn't bet they direct their efforts based on a YouTube reviewer.

Also, considering Intels very anti-competitive behavior (e.g [0], [1], [2]), I am wary of stating Intel entering the DDR industry will make it any less corrupt.

> Intel entering the DDR industry

Eh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_1103

RAM was their 1xxx product line, EPROM was 2xxx, microprocessors 4xxx (later 8xxx, what with 8 glorious bits of data bus ...)


Are you talking about the LinusTechTips guy? I watched the recent video where he was using Optane and the results didn't seem like a major competitor to RAM unless I was misjudging it. Of course, it could be in that 1:1 RAM wins out, but Optane can put more memory within the space so that 1:1 becomes 16:1 or such at which point it wins out, not sure.


I think the main point is that optane can put more memory within your budget, and for some use cases it's a semi-suitable replacement for ram


There's no reason to believe this won't be sky-higher than current DDR4 RAM prices.


Intel is saying it will be cheaper but they've raised prices before.


This has been on Intel's roadmaps for years. Nothing to do with LTT.


> Lol, looks like Linus actually inspired them

How so? Point to the quote?


LinusTechTips made a video recently taking about this.

https://youtu.be/cwy4ujt0qHM


It is quite unlikely that Intel was actually inspired by Linus of LinusTechTips. He's exaggerating for dramatic effect, just like the fake drama of not being able to find his RAM.

Persistent memory is something that Intel has been working on for at least 5 years (https://github.com/pmem), and given that that's the public face of the software side of it, they were likely starting to develop the hardware even earlier.


Totally thought GGP was referring to Linus Torvalds


No fucking way. The persistent main memory to replace dram older than Sebastian and this kind of thing takes at a decade to develop if you're lucky.
