The last time Russia imploded it wasn't at war. If Russia implodes now Ukraine and Poland will take Moscow. A lot of people like Musk really don't want those guys digging through the Russian FSB Archives.

One thing I found out that's a bit infuriating is committee the the sets national code standards has effectively banned R290 (propane) monoblock heat pumps. No residential indoor or outdoor heat pumps with more than 144 grams of propan

My dad said there were a couple of countries that produced bauxite who thought they could be the OPEC of aluminum. And found out very quickly that bauxite isn't rare.

Keep believing that Rust magically prevents you from getting owned when you fuck up.

My thought is what's telling is the 'rewrite it in rust'. Rust doesn't have a new business case. C was better than assembly. C++ was better than C for GUI applications. JAVA has garbage collection and usually won'

With a 64 bit pointer you could make it bit addressable.

I had an issue where the corporate spyware thought my cross compiler was potential malware and running scans on every file access. My compile times went from a few seconds to 2 minutes. And my codebase has a dozen targets. Where building, f

I tend to use getter and setter functions to access globals and manage state. Advantage only the function that depends on the global needs to bring in the dependency.

My takes are Unlike crummy barely more than a macro assembler compilers of yore. A modern compiler will optimize away a lot of null pointer checks. Superscalar processors can chew gum and walk at the same time while juggling and hula hoopin

Peanut gallery comment is C# because while you can do the old "enterprise factoryClassFactoryFactoryClassFizzBuzz architectural cancer" it doesn't fight you when you try not to. Want to pass a pure function that takes structs

The C language spec isn't what important here it's the ABI doesn't know the difference.

Because our politicians patrons are rentier capitalists who think the government spending money on things is a waste of their money. So yeah they really hate spending money on transit projects. Doesn't help that we're at the end s

That's around 150 watts per person. 24 hour average 40 watts. And likely a similar amount of wind. I use a guesstimate that an developed economy needs around 1000W per capita. So at 80W per year you hit that in 12 years. Probably faste

My first boss who started in the late 60's said 1 based indexing exists because the early programmers with mathematics training thought ordinary people are too stupid to get zero based indexing.

The way I think of it comes from the old ME degree I got. You can analyze assemblies by the number of degrees of freedom. Three degrees of freedom, like three linkages pinned at the corners is a triangle and the relative positions of each e

This idea for me comes from a friend that does patent law. He said the hard thing about a patent is knowing what questions need to be answered. Not the answers. It's all about framing the problem, all the hard hard is really there. We
