   What’s the mote here? Seems to be a risky investment when it’s such a crowded space and likely to be decent open source alternatives for those with small budgets and homegrown solutions for companies with bigger budgets and requirements.

   Any thoughts on (F)OSS models for IoT? We’ve usually got some hardware and firmware closely bound together, with traditional model being selling hardware with proprietary firmware. Any examples?

   I was literally doing random exercises out of Apostol’s Calculus the other night. But I’d love to do good exercises from something more recent and advanced… gotta find my copy of Chris Bishop’s pattern recognition.

   What is note-taking exactly? Like notes from meetings, or like a replacement for a journal, or? Why not just use a text editor? I’ve been operating for years without a “note-taking” solution. What am I missing?

   Can you elaborate? What kind of jobs are you looking for? I’d like to think that there’s still tremendous demand for software engineers, and I’m curious how the market is shifting in terms of skills and experience being sought.

   I wrote such a tool[1] for my own use some years ago. It uses libpcap to grab all the packets on one interface and then re-emit them from another interface after some delay, with optional packet loss. If there’s real interest I could dust i

    You should give it a spin. It’s an incredibly comprehensive Computer Algebra System with all the batteries included…. No, with a small nuclear reactor in the box. I’m just sad that I don’t have access anymore after college, being too cheap

    Only intentional practice I’ve been doing has been learning Rust. Everything else is just solving classic compsci problems over and over again, in C, on little embedded systems, which I guess is practice too but it just doesn’t have a steep

    I would be delighted to beta test. I would want to work on my spoken Portuguese so I could interact more naturally with my Brazilian colleagues. I study French, German, Swedish, Mandarin, Japanese, Portuguese, Latin, dabbling in Polish, tho

    I see just QWERTY. Does the key layout (QWERTY vs Colmak-RH etc) impact the design of the wells at all? I would think not, holding number of keys fixed. Also I’m very curious if these alternative key layouts are really worth the switching c

    A delightfully detailed and well-explained tutorial, that teaches Entity Component Systems and develops a game targeting WASM.

    For better or worse I configured mine for an optimized keylayout (RSNTB ,AEIH on the homerow). I’ve got it in muscle memory but wondering how many days it will take to get past this ~30 wpm plateau.

    Well it wouldn’t be stealing if the work was not covered by copyright. It also wouldn’t be “unfair” if the rules were changed. —- I’m asking that we imagine how else could our information economy look if we had some other legal foundation.

    Thanks for the perspective. I agree I’d like a world full of great art, and a decent fraction of human energy put into art-making seems good. I grant that copyright plus free markets is one decent way of achieving this. Now that I try to el

    Am I the only one believing that copyright has long outlived its usefulness? After all, copyright is not some natural law or mathematical consequence, but rather a social convention that made sense in the era of the printing press.

    Does anyone else sometimes have the experience where you feel like you know everything that’s going to be said or happen, as if life were a movie you saw so many times in grade-school that you know every line, but forgot about the film unti

    The level of English varies, and salaries usually correlate with English proficiency just as well as with technical ability. I believe this is because devs with strong English can compete as remote workers on the global market, whereas thos

    At Bond we’ve used pragmatic versioning with the names: vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[.TWEAK] Indeed the TWEAK is only for hotfixes, though due to pushback from other devs using semver parsers, we've had to hold back on the tweaks. (Though it’s a

    I didn’t hear much anthropomorphism outside of the subtitle. Anyways, this is Scott’s writing style. I recall an earlier ACX post on alignment that was real heavy on ascribing desires and goals to AI models.
