AVR Freaks and support.atmel.com are (no longer) down

Anyone know why? Planned maintenance or server problem?

Anyone know why? Planned maintenance or server problem?

The AVRFreaks website has suffered from reliability issues for years. It has improved significantly in recent times, but is still an issue. Normally it's back up within a day!

Maybe they should upgrade the server from 8 bit?

Can you imagine what would happen if Stack Exchange was offline for a day? World wide programmer productivity would take a huge nose-dive until they fixed it.

It would just separate the men from the quiche eaters.

I find it makes me feel old going over there, all that squinting at the tiny band of writing that is jammed in the middle. Maybe these things are related, perhaps the forum view is fixed at 8 bits wide?

Apparently the men are kinda dumb. The quiche eaters work smarter and faster by not re-inventing the wheel when someone else has already figured it all out, and by asking questions and discussing stuff to find the best solution. Stack Exchange is an excellent resource, and only macho "I commit everything to memory and if I don't know it isn't worth knowing", "I forgot more than you ever knew" types who churn out the same old stuff they were doing in the 80s shun such things.

"figuring it out" - Ah, the credo of the copy-paste programmer. Meaning taking whatever half working solution comes up, without understanding it. Stack Exchange is the blind leading the blind. And other blinds voting stuff randomly up. If all you ever want to be is a copy-paste programmer than Stack Exchange is certainly right for you.

i believe the point was... if avrfreak is dead, and your nose dives, then you are quinche eater that will separate from others who are still "carry on". copy-paste is not that bad, its just when you have nothing to copy, what are your gonna do? and btw... copy pasting without fully "specifying" the performance or reliability of the code is another type of "blind faith".

mathematical proof of intelligent designer using probability method

Misguided faith due to a flawed understanding of mathematics and probability/statistics is far worse.

thinking that human work on mathematics is a misguided faith. we are not math machine, we just think we are math is just a very small portion from the "general law"
