As someone who works with hardware, hard to repo bugs can take months to track down. Your code, the compiler, or the hardware itself (which is often a complex ball of IP from dozens of manufacturers held together with a NoC) could all be a

That article needs way more meat. I’d recommend this classic for a read: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/15142/whic... Tl;dr dark text on a light background is usually easiest to read. Note in da

That's unfortunate, perhaps your particular macbook is having a hardware problem? As a point of comparison, I daily two ARM macs (work M4 14 + personal M3 14), and I get far better battery life than that (at least 8 hours of "norm

To those not familiar with LA or the USA, here’s a cultural time capsule from 2Pac circa 1996: “ It's the, City of Angels and constant danger South Central L.A., can't get no stranger Full of drama like a soap opera, on the curb W

Remember the movie Minority Report? Where a central plot point was the main character being tracked (by their retina in that case), and how to defeat the tracking? Vibes.

I guess I don’t have a huge association with calling someone a CRIMINAL as a big deal. Like I speed on the highway every day, I’m a criminal too. I don’t really feel like I’m doing anything wrong if I drive safe and there’s no traffic near

Illegal immigration is a crime. So is jay walking and software piracy and murder. There’s a lot of nuance to be had here in how big of a deal it is and how people who do the deed are treated. It’s always felt weird though that it’s become t

It’s kind of a fun time capsule, there’s this unspoken question of “is there any truth to all that commie propaganda?” constantly floating in the background (the book was written by an American professor at the height of the Cold War). That

Imagine you can get 20 rolls of toilet paper at Costco for $20. Or one roll at your corner store for $5. However, you need a car to get to Costco, which you don't have, so now you're looking at riding the bus there. But you just w

This kind of inspires me. I have an i5-1340p NUC I’m not using for anything at the moment, I wonder if I could press it into service as a sort of “dry run” for this type of experience

I often explicitly discuss roles. Who is responsible for a feature (must be exactly one person). Who will have input (without veto power), who will have input (with veto power), who is the “decider” if the responsible person gets vetoed and

We’re stuck with big endian forever because of network byte order. There will probably always be a niche market for BE CPUs for things that do lots of packet processing in software.

Agree completely with this. When I use a desktop display, my pattern is: load page, read content for 10-30 seconds, scroll, repeat. When I use a phone, the read-time-before-scroll is more like 1-5 seconds due to the much smaller display. I

Sharing the risk (and rewards) with the company is why we take 50% or more of our comp as RSUs instead of being paid in straight cash. This should already be factored in. If the company does bad, we should already be taking an (effective) p

"Strive to be earth's best employer". That they put a weasel word, "strive", right in their shiny new LP tells you all you need to know.

It seems like the path we’re heading to for the next 5-10 years is that we’ll still have general purpose compute, but many things will require a locked down smartphone as an access token. This is already the case in many corporate environme

A friend of mine once said "the warranty expires at 25." Your body peaks in your late 20s or early 30s. It will get a hell of a lot harder to lose weight, and undo any bad choices you make now the older you get. Build a sustainabl

If you're curious go walk through the bootloaders of an embedded platform, they serve roughly the same role as firmware that implements UEFI on traditional x86 systems. Example, start with bl1 (first stage boot loader) for a Rasberry P

Thinking you're going to end up with a _more aggressive_ schedule than an Elon company with the traditional mil-aerospace players is quite the bold call.

You could get hit by a meteorite walking down the street, taking a train, or driving a car too. There's some degree of things we just can't do anything about. We just have to accept it and move on. There's something about the

Sure, I think we’re essentially looking at the same thing from different angles. They are saying the changes in the C standard are minor enough that forcing people to upgrade isn’t worth the costs, such as losing compatibility with old tool

This is extremely common in the embedded and systems programming space, which Rust is otherwise attractive to use in. For example, a very popular library in the systems/embedded space, cjson, works with C89. FreeRTOS works with C99. Th

> Rust has had ten years since 1.0. It changes in backward compatible ways. For some people, they want no changes at all, so it’s important to nail down which sense is meant. I’d love to see rust be so stable that MSRV is an anachronism.

The average person runs Chrome with no ad blocker, or Safari on their phone with no and blocker, _and they don’t care_. This reminds me of efforts to get people to care about how the animals their food comes from are treated. I wish y’all a

Makes sense. Unfortunately closest thing I’ve seen is https://github.com/boredazfcuk/docker-icloudpd but that requires turning off Advanced Data Protection which is a nonstarter for me
