You're giving me flashbacks to when I had to compile my own kernel for ubuntu on a macbook. All to get suspend working.

Hanging out in IRC channels in early 2000s was how I wasted my teenage years. But I did get a gmail invite out of it leading to my primary email address to this day: arithmetic@gmail.com

You mean getting a oscillator, caps, breadboard, MCU, avr-gcc, and a JTAG interface was too much work to get a LED to blink? :) Arduino changed the game, wish I had it in college. Honorable mention to Microchip's PIC line - they had a

Stackoverflow. Its closest competitor, experts exchange, was a slow website that required you sign up to see an answer that was rarely useful. There's a direct correlation to SO and dollars of revenue I've driven.

Though this is true, I've noticed the temperature goes significantly down when your true identity is on the line.

Not the founder but I imagine the strategy here is to move first with a notification that has a big market like email. If they can prove that quickly , you've landed and now you expand to other kinds of notifications and suddenly you&

My first startup was in the equipment sharing space (specifically camera equipment). Back then (in 2013), getting insurance was either going through brokers and spending $ to get them to craft a policy for you. I would have loved something

How's this better than pipenv? Also, does it work on Heroku?

I remember the days of trying mplayer2, totem, and countless others. Everything just worked with VLC.

Awesome, glad to see you're thinking about it. I understand the concern around the responsibility but also remember, that's an engineering problem that's been solved many times over. Here's the fear that's driving m

Fantastic post, love the transparency. Funny how you managed to find success in hardware coming from a software background. Until recently, I was on a similar path. Is there a way to add a software layer to your hardware idea to bring in re

From one engineer to another who recently internalized this lesson: you're getting in the way of yourself. If you have the resources, use them so that you can move fast.

Writing DOOM in assembler sounds like a...gargantuan task. Is it a case where you can compare assembler output from the original or a start-from-scratch sort of thing?

Fantastic video. For those in the industry, how does a game get ported? Do you figure out all the constraints of the target system, fork the original, adjust, and compile? Is it an involved process? Do the original dev's (Carmack in th

Big banks. I used to work at Morgan Stanley - they value this intersection a lot. In my group, there were business analysts and developers. Guess who got more comp and recognition within the company? And there were a select few who could do

Fascinating photos. I hope, sometime in my life, humans will be able to go. If the rover can stream to the orbiter at 2mb/s, would it be possible stream video to the orbiter and have it save in its buffer? Then it'd transfer to Ea
