Pay for itself? Who will pay for this? I don’t think you realize how much $100B is. To put it in perspective, a cutting edge fab costs almost $10B (TSMC) and only three companies can barely afford that.

Meetup.com was on fire with maker, programming, and tech meetups in Portland in 2010-2014. Some were huge (I recall the auditorium for Puppet Labs wall-to-wall one point). Then ... poof . All gone, even before the pandemic. And it was supe

Awesome. I think lack of math education leads to gullibility, and there is so little recourse for people that have been scammed, it just screws people for life. Hiding behind interest rates is like selling snake oil in a circus, but for mod

I don't think people with e-bikes even pedal into the orange zone. It's more of exercise theater, to borrow a term. HOwever, I do hope e-bikes start to overtake cars as modes of transportation in temperate climates.

Oh, yeah, you're right. It seemed like OP was trying to prove he could "bare bones" it because the article was about how to avoid everything but a framebuffer, so I thought I'd offer this up... LVGL is as bare-bones as i

LVGL is pretty much the IOT industry standard for 32-bit architectures like Renesas RX, Arm Cortex-M, ARC, TI MSP, Atmel... https://lvgl.io/

You're right, I didn't mean 100% of all linux tools, like coreutils. But every piece of linux software I've purchased a license for does exactly this. I think people that get upset about this just need something to fret about

That makes sense. I would really like it if my car would warn me that I'm exceeding the speed limit of a stretch of road, and update dynamically. Google displays the speed limit, but doesn't warn me, and is wrong ~40% of the time.

Actual trail riders mostly do not do this. Source: worked at a bike store. People with a lot of money that treat their bike as something to optimize and not something to ride do this. I'm not saying its wrong, its just another way of b

Gave up on freertos because printf doesn’t work? someone didn’t have the patience to read the documentation.

The book “weapons of math destruction” is full of examples of AI fucking up badly and ruining people’s lives today . It’s just that the damage is more diffuse than Hiroshima and nowhere NEAR as gruesome and specially located and sudden.

I expect the service to tell me upfront if my request is not serviceable, and not push it on to drivers. Don’t advertise if you can’t deliver. And be fucking consistent.

Funny all the people complaining about “this makes Mac ugly compared to Linux” meanwhile every Linux tool I install craps dotfiles not only in ~/ but in working folders as well. It’s a fact of life that tens of thousands of smart progr

That’s the easy solution. But some people are absolute control freaks and would rather go nuts about a hidden file than actually spend their energy creating things. Very telling.

It still blows my mind that Microsoft is the most valuable company in the planet because of the cloud and Balmers long term vision. I thought they would have gone the way of IBM.

They were sued for collusion and the lawyers got a massive payout and the employees got a fraction of lost wages. I was one of them. (Employees not lawyers.)

I used to fly into Pittsburg and take an Uber to my grandparents house 40 miles away. For years I could always get an Uber but then after the pandemic my trip was rejected so frequently that I had to start renting a car. So basically no one

I’m glad they used empirical data and didn’t just ask people how they felt. Weird tho that it just doesn’t jive for me but I’ve never measured myself so maybe I’m biased.

Electron = nontrivial effort? What is so hard about Electron? The boilerplate is a snap, compared to Qt/Win32 boilerplate. Where do you fall down?

As someone who spent most of the early 1990's writing Win32 apps, it doesn't seem like much has changed! MFC has always been a pain to use, especially coming from X and Motif.. even Athena widgets were better than MFC. I've u

To think when his kids inherit all the stocks he owns, the purchase price is reset to the market price at inheritance. Which means 10s of billions of tax free stock sales.

I’m pretty sure I’ll never by a car made after 2015 for the rest of my life. No spywear. Actual buttons and knobs. Can fill up wherever I want.
