Plants kept growing at most latitudes and almost everywhere at lower altitudes. Just not as fast for 15-20 years. Mammal species ate a lot of tubers and nuts from the trees, which spread seeds that exploded in diversity in the years after the dinosaurs.

The scaling for this new arch in terms of the number of onboard processors is going to be insane though. We might see 32 core processors with 16 big boys and 16 efficiency cores become the norm in a few years. That is huge.

Intel's new server lineup is rumored to be verging on 1000 with 500+ cores already revealed.

If you can't change your diction with the times you probably should start looking at retirement.

Younger people don't want to deal with the drama of some old guy who believes he is entitled to never change his behaviour around others since he was hired 20-30-40 years ago. Every single time I hear someone say they can't "act like themselves" the "actions" they are talking about are always demeaning of others. Why is that?

When I first started working in the late 1990's the Network Operation Center I worked at had fold-out Playboy posters in the break room - albeit the nipples were covered up with google-eyed stickers. I complained and they were down the next day, and an old guy who started on Sys V became livid. He then started messing with people's food who he thought had "ratted him out". They fired him, and he had the audacity to list us as references.

The folks who are the most problematic in any gig are the ones who don't realize that everyone can be replaced, and refuse to change.
