Given that it can be cloudy and not rain, but (for the sake of the example) not rain without clouds¹ I would agree. ¹: in reality weather can be extremely weird sometimes. I had it rain without visible clouds before on the open field. I a

You don't want to know what my headphone extensions (TRSm 3.5 -> TRSf 3.5mm) or my XLR3 cables go through. That is way, way worse than anything the HDMI cables experience, based purey on the look of the cables returned. I get that

Yeah I get that in theory, but then my 10x more expensive pro stuff works worse than the cheap stuff. Sure, because they follow the spec etc. But then it turns out that even name brand laptops (or their GPUs) do it wrong. My point was tha

Yes, only that it leaves vast parts of the US economy without workers, since not only skilled labour is sought after. Farm work would be one popular example. So unlike you somehow explain to Americans why foreigners get the good jobs while

I work in a european liberal art school. It doesn't get much more left wing than this. So of course we have written policies regarding gender, diversity and inclusion. As part of the staff I was included in various hiring processes. An

This is my current thought as well. The neo-fascist movements throughout the west all do not have a positive vision, beyond it being a narrative vehicle to convince the people who bought into the rethoric. Returning a nation to former great

I run a media-lab at a art university and both HDMI and USB-C is flaming garbage. What you want is a digital video standard that simply pushes an A/V stream over the wire and negotiates the acceptable resolution on the fly. What you ge

I design and repair electronics for the past decade and quality has gone down, significantly so. A part of this is increased complexity introducing more failure modes, but the main reason is bean counters trying to reduce the BOM cost as

Make a list of people flying in these things and attribute the consequences of climate change to their heads. Then you have them pay the bill for their lifetime, potential inheritances pay after. Not to put a too fine point on it, but clima

Yeah, sure I mean in embedded-land any async snippet could perform any number of things, like firing a delay command that puts the whole processor to sleep. This could potentially be avoided by clever enough compilers or runtimes, but I am

I am not deep into the matter but I would have given the answer: Async code is making code that would have been blocking non-blocking in a manner other stuff can still happen while it is being completed. Since I work a lot in embedded loops

So while we are making funny euphemisms I hope I can "bypass ownership laws" to relieve the author of the money on their bank account. The state of journalism in 2025 is such they can't even call a spade a spade.

I program both C/C++ and Rust (the latter to a lesser degree currently). Rust is far superior to C in Error locality, if you write ideomatic Rust. Most of the types of errors I make in C would have been cought at compile time in Rust
