It's just plain ugly, anyway, Jon. It offends (at least mine, LaTeX-trained) sensibilities as how an article should look like. :-D

Concretely, using capital letters for emphasis is bad typographical form.

I thought the caps were part of the joke.
This was a very nice read. The guy has a future as a Dave Barry replacement or something like that!
Quotes of the week Posted Sep 30, 2013 12:03 UTC (Mon) by jzbiciak (✭ supporter ✭, #5246) [Link] I found it amusing as well, especially since he touches on several topics I have to deal with regularly as an SoC architect. The quote above is particularly amusing, since we're dealing with rising FIT rates in our chips. A later quote was even more amusing to me: All of these techniques could be implemented. However, John slowly realized that these solutions were just things that he could do, and inventing “a thing that you could do” is a low bar for human achievement. Sometimes it feels that way, when you're looking at techniques to detect errors in silicon and prevent them from causing a safety issue, for example. "Yep, that's definitely 'a thing that you could do.'"
