This is an interesting argument that Python can be both flexible and strict. I think the author made a good argument here that this is more of a benefit to the language than a risk. The problem I have currently with Python is that all these

I remember reading an article about a young engineer that deleted a production database on his first day. He feared that he'd be fired, but his boss effectively said, "We just learned a quarter million dollar lesson, why would we

If the sentence was $1k, and you had to do a "safe hiking PSA", I'd consider that just.

> I spent my last day in Los Angeles riding on a Segway, buying legal marijuana and staring at some turtles in an on-campus pond at UCLA. Yeah, I'm sure that has nothing to do with psychotic breakdowns.

Everyone is talking about "when AI is hooked up to things outside the sandbox, or escapes the sandbox" as if it's this future potential problem. AI is already used in selecting resumes, making sentencing guidelines for prison

One huge thing in this release is being able to build gerber files on the CLI. We're working to setup continuous integration here at work for the boards we make. Reduces a ton of human error being able to type "make" and get

Wonder if they're still using an anti racist lens for this layoff. Didn't see it this time.

What I truly understand is that if it is racist to say "colored person", then switching the terms around on the euphemism treadmill doesn't fix anything. Give it another decade, and I promise you that BIPOC will be a racial s

Oh heck, let's not even address that saying "people of color" is respectful, but "colored people" is racist.

Do any math to see what the internal pull ups and bus capacitance were? What MCU?

Yep, this post checks out. If you're doing coin cell powered stuff, those brief 3.3 mA pulses can really chew up your battery life.

The trick someone taught me for identifying poison ivy (I've got it ALL over my yard) was... 1) Irregular leaf shape. The leaves just don't know how to grow. Straight edge? Jagged edge? Both, neither? 2) The three leaves form a T-

Man. Whenever I see these threads, I see a ton of people hopping in with their ideas on how to optimize a critical resource. It's the "heat people, not homes" mantra. I mean, I get it. Every programmer salivates at the idea o

The thing that really shocked me was watching an episode of South Park. The boys all got into airsoft, and really enjoyed it (in contrast to a bunch of older jaded teens that used drugs and were largely miserable.) The dads weren't sur

I fully agree. But should the surgeon general also make comments about how code reviews need to be empathetic? I mean. If the surgeon general is gonna make statements about what is "healthy" for other social issues, where does he

And my stance against "cloud based password managers" -- and really, paid password managers -- is vindicated. Never! I have evolved a little on using software to track passwords though, and I'm using Unix Pass quite happily n

A really clever puzzle, UI issues aside. Reminds me of programming the knights tour back in college.

It seems like we need a meta website. "I need to visually compare the size of XYZ.com" that helps you find sites like these.

With EasyRSA, you can become your own CA for your own personal devices! (Though on Android, installing a custom CA does give you a perpetual warning notice.) In combination with my PiHole setup at home, all my devices have names and SSL cer

I bought a Seiko automatic that I wore for a while, until it stopped -- I think I got some sand in it. The watch shop asked for more than the cost of the watch to service it, so I watched a few videos and tried to do it myself. Make no mist

This isn't about content! There is a real world, and a virtual one. The virtual one is a mere imitation of the real one. We weren't born to live inside a machine.

This author has a very meticulous experimental approach. I'm not a rust developer, but I enjoyed the article none the less.

People just don't get this. A voltage regulator is the equivalent of a $15 steel pipe at Home Depot. Ok. You can get some REALLY FANCY ultra low noise insanely efficient radiation hardened space qualified bleeding edge switch mode powe

Another comment has a list here. GPS modules and microcontrollers are about as fancy as it gets. They listed (gasp) power supply regulators, and chips from Analog Devices that I presume to be OpAmps or similar.
