To be quite honest I learned exactly this way myself, however nowhere near recently by any stretch of imagination; I learned through Usenet, bulletin board systems, IRC, and a heavy dose of (bordering on obsession) reading any and all techn

I'm sorry this has been your experience. There are folks out there open to learning from us seniors. I've been a mentor off and on for the last few decades, and I've been really lucky to have some strong mentees. Some I&#x27

I do "rewrites" for my day job all day every day; with as of late the goal being rewriting critical services to get past scaling plateaus. Rewrites require an existential-level threat to pursue and should never be taken lightly. T

I just translated the entire book into English via multimodal LLM, which with my (rusty) Japanese language knowledge looks largely correct (including diagrams and manga text.) I'm not sure of the legal ramifications of this but if anyo

Update #2 Ok now I cheated and had Claude translate the entire book into English. It even translated the manga images with hand written hiragana/katana in speech bubbles (using comic sans) plus all the diagrams! I decided to not take o

I wouldn't claim that the Bliensderfer's "barrel" design is the same as the "golf ball" of IBMs, but as with all things nothing is created in a vacuum; the IBM Selectric is an incremental improvement. It's

Update: I broke down and bought the PDF version, now I need to brush up on my Japanese again. Should be a fun project over the coming rainy days..

I love this 4bit "isa" with 12 simple instructions. It makes me want to dig out my old 74x chips from storage and make one. That said, thank God for FireFox Reader mode, on mobile at least the add popups make this excellent blog p

Random question: has the JQ query language been formalized? I have at least 3 separate implementations installed on my machine atm: JQ, Python YQ and the Go YQ CLI. They're all "mostly compatible" but at this point there shou

I love the crazy design of the rotating ball mechanism of theses things. For it to be able to do complex typesetting without the appearance of mono spacing is really cool. Normally you would need a printing press for it to look this good ba

This sentence highlights the reason why these efforts fail despite any original good intentions: "as soon as a monopolistic entity can build a mechanism to extract revenue from it, there will be an incentive to capture the standard and

There are inventor programs that'll literally ship you to Shenzhen to build connections to manufacturing sites and even provide you with a liaison, etc. I only know this because I was once in a program that did exactly this.

IIRC anyone using Colima is already using containerd for their docker cli, so a no-op for my daily usage, at least locally. The closer my local dev setup is to prod the better.

As someone familiar with z80, 6502, and 68HC11 instruction sets this breaks down the key differences between the "6s" and "8s" archs well. I personally learned z80 first, then found the 6502 a bit limiting after writing

To be fair to them they didn't break the CDs from working. After a couple years of maintaining the official forums and website they just shut it all down. This is fair for a game, less so for folks running real work on the machines now

It was a few decades ago so I'm probably misremembering the diagonal dimensions entirely. I recall it taking 3 large people to even lift it, and it was HUGE by all CRT standards I've seen since. It had glass so not a projection. I

This looks fantastic, however it's not clear (to me), which WASM feature sets are supported? p1, p2, simd, garbage collection, tail calls, etc. Might be good to include in a table on the readme itself as different features will expose

Rust uses "Editions" (e.g., 2015, 2018, 2021, 2024) to introduce breaking changes without splitting the ecosystem. Every edition remains supported by newer compiler versions _indefinitely_. The only churn is on projects targeting

The 2600 had carts with SuperCart/SARA chips added to double the consoles ram (to a whole 256 bytes!) The 2600's Pitfall II cart even added their own co-processor (Display Processor Chip/DCP) providing advanced music generati

Shoving extra chips for bank switching, co processors, and license protection bypasses had been in play since the Atari days (although 2600 had no lock out/cic chips.) NES did though. My personal favorite was the hack on some NES carts
