For things like volume, A/C, adjusting mirrors and seats, I really, really want physical buttons. Not sure what I will do after my old Volvo dies, maybe the touchscreen mania will have gone away by then and physical buttons will be bac

EVs have a weight issue that fundamentally constrains their overall design. It is really a tough engineering problem to try to shave weight off of everything, because you are starting out with a 700kg battery replacing a 400kg engine + tran

> Go GC uses a separate memory region to track GC metadata. It does not embed this information into structs, arrays, etc, directly. I didn't know this, thank you. That's a solid approach.

Yes, I know Go's structs are similar to C in terms of syntax, but does the Go compiler guarantee the same bitwise layout for its data structures? Most GC languages add metadata to the data structures to track GC status, and this change

The performance gains from bit-level control over memory come from managing the layout to ensure cache locality and do things like SIMD - and nowadays even GPU kernel offload. Enormous performance gains. I agree that it really isn't ab

I guess I am a markdown hater, but I don't like it. Markdown feels too much like hand writing your own html, when you have to put in tags, but like html it suffers from lack of layout control, which is why they invented CSS, but you do

My gemini subscription is all I need. It's like an interactive stack overflow that doesn't yell at you and answers your questions. I was working on a problem and having trouble understanding an old node splitting paper, and Gemini

I could have been giving this an uncharitable reading.

I wonder about that, and decided that Azure is infrastructure first, and software second. MS is destroying/has destroyed their ability to write software, but are still maintaining infrastructure. But I wonder how many people will be us

You are saying the plan was to buy a "price-beating competitor", invest in them for 16 years, and then finally pull the rug out now?

He temporarily increased MS share price tenfold, at the cost of jeapordizing the long term viability of the company. In 10 years we may well look back at Nadela as the "the man who killed Microsoft" or at least "the man who

From the title, I thought this was going to be another one of those speculative execution information leakage bugs that are basically impossible to fix, but something this simple and easily fixable -- it's discouraging. Hopefully this
