I like Makefiles, but just for me. Each time I create a new personal project, I add a Makefile at the root, even if the only target is the most basic of the corresponding language. This is because I can't remember all the variations of

German StVZO rules are not helping when the users are not directing the beam towards the road but horizontally. The current bicycles lights are very strong and I am sometimes nearly blinded from them in day light !

For me the most interesting paragraph in the article is: > Perhaps the best way of looking at Zen 4's loop buffer is that it signals the company has engineering bandwidth to go try things. Maybe it didn't go anywhere this time.

As I was working in Denmark, we had a lot of Lenovo resellers providing better offers than the normal list prices. This was a couple of years ago, maybe this is still the case.

I use the convention that all my containers are getting a /data/ folder where data can be stored and will get an automatic daily backup. It is easy to set the right storage behind /data/. Just a convention, nothing more,

If you do not make a lot of money somewhere (Google ads, Tesla high valuation), it is very hard to have enough money to do the self-driving stuff. So production is important, because if you sell a lot of cars, you have cash flow for R&D

Formally proving with a system based on probabilities (temperature, etc.) is for me an oxymoron. But I am not a mathematician. Edit: Ok, they generate proofs with the LLM, then they validate them with the Lean 4 environment. I am not sure i

I started using VMware more than 10 years ago because of the good USB support for license dongles and pki stuff. I am using Windows as a development machine. I must admit that the license was cheap, it worked, so I didn't took the time
