If congress doesn't like how federal agencies implement the law they are free to pass laws to clarify their intent. They don't need unelected and unaccountable Justices to do that for them.

People that see programming as math get really excited about recursion. Everyone else doesn't care, shouldn't care.

I'm salty that after 40 years there isn't a standard slice_t and buffer_t. Then you could have functions in the standard library like. buffer_t allocate_buffer(size_t sz); size_t append_slice(buffer_t *dest, slice_t *src);

With C there is the ABI which is platform specific but can't change without all hell breaking loose. Also after twenty terrible years for profilers frame pointer are returning. So the ABI allows you to do this sort of stuff reliably a

This type of behavior really speaks to the idea that it's not your computer anymore. And also the idea that your hard drive is just a cache.

I've been playing with this arena bump allocator. https://github.com/gilzoide/c-allocators I've been using it with an event driven code where after an event is fired off and returns the handler just hard rese

My dad worked on the Pioneer 10 and 11 space probes. Specifically the frame that held them to the rocket. It had to be light, strong, flexible enough to isolate them from the rockets vibration, and not resonate either. Design, fabrication,

I saw an NFC chip that has 512 bytes of eeprom. Talks to a micro via I2C and has an interrupt that can be used to wake it up. I think it's a M24LR04E. Costs like $0.50. I think these could be useful for devices where you have a limited

A long time ago my retort when someone would claim California's government was oppressive was; I can walk into the grocery store Sunday morning and buy hard liquor.

Anytime electrochemistry is involved it's important. But regular electronics not very much. I think positive and negative mostly trips up people trying to use what they think is happening to explain theory. When it's not that usef

Along you're lines chargers are commercial parking lots needs to be prioritized. At least in California there is now often a glut of solar power during the day when presumably a lot of cars are parked at peoples workplaces.

I think the rot tends to be systemic. Even if you want something nice the local construction ecosystem might fight you every step of the way. Building material suppliers don't stock or produce nice stuff, only shitty. Workers have no e

One thing I started paying attention to when I was dating in my 30's is how long was this persons longest previous relationship. Numbers like a year and a half is a bad sign. I suspect that's gender neutral. What I've heard f

A few things I remember. Early 90's a few old friends that worked as security guards all bought 486 clones so they could play DOOM. Probably about the same time Autocad and Schematic Capture running on a PC was fast enough. Couple of y

The rail goes through Fresno and Bakersfield. Which are on the side of the central valley where people live. State Senator Scott Wiener I think had the right idea about building new housing. Have the state enforce a common zoning and permit

Standardization reminds me of old stories about 1970-80's blue chip companies trying to hire programmers like they hired secretaries. They'd test applicants for things like word per minute typing speed, simple programming tests, h

Accuracy depends on the technology used. Carbon comp tends have less accuracy then carbon film. And it's not true that higher accuracy is always better. Some accurate resisters are essentially wound coils and have high inductance and w

The problem is the fat tail of rare conditions is really wide because their are thousands of them. Say there are 500 rare conditions with a rate of 2 per 100k per year. That means one out of 100 patients will develop one of those 500 in a g

The dependence of C++ is one of the reasons I think C and C++ need a divorce. Because while you'll never be able to create a new standard lib for C++ it wouldn't be hard for C.
