I have exactly the same problem! I’ve resorted to manually disabling Bluetooth on the device I don’t want to use… never had that issue with Airpods.

I wondered the same thing... why invent a whole new thing? Making a web browser capable of displaying the Internet circa 1999 is not trivial but it is far, far, far easier than building a modern one. Let's keep it simple: HTTP 1.1, HTM

Precisely, I don't understand why people get constantly worked up with this. Is _all_ software development engineering? No, of course not. If you are banging out CRUD clone #432 then no, you are not an engineer, you are more of a techn

I forget... didn't Steve Jobs tell them something akin to "your product is just a feature"? Looks like Jobs was right.

Hey, this was a very good conversation by Internet standards :) Thanks for trying to understand where I was coming from. I should have done the same perhaps, I totally missed the self deprecation in your original comment. Text is such a poo

I think it is a C++ replacement that is _closer_ to C. It has generics, traits, RAII, etc, which are C++, not C, features but the way that Rust implements them _feels_ closer to C. I don't know if this quite makes sense but as an exter

Good question. It’s because it relates to previous, real life experiences when people have tried to gatekeep things from me, or passed judgement on me for doing something “different” when the subject at hand was completely inconsequential,

Good points. I’m not entirely bothered with the current state of affairs re: lego variety and uniformity. I think both people who enjoy building from scratch and those who enjoy sets can be satisfied with the current Lego offerings. What I

If you want just bricks you can buy just that. If you want sets then go for it. Both are ok. No need to gatekeep fun. People tend to overestimate how attractive their own lawns are.

Woah. That calculator and file tree _look_ like native widgets. Impressive indeed.

A popular solution is PTP [0]. Once you have synchronized hw clocks you lay your software synchronization on top of that. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Time_Protocol

Keep in mind that this is _reaction time_. As in, if something happens to an engine how fast do I need to react to safe it before it spreads to other things. Turns out that 20ms response time is plenty appropriate. Are there any processes i

It’s not the allocation that necessarily kills you, it’s the garbage collection.

Thanks for the correction. Glad to see these steps being taken by Apple.

There is no way that two random kernel engineers pushed a feature that allows booting unsigned kernels on Apple hardware (I'm assuming that's what raw image is?). I don't know how _high_ up it goes but I am very certain it wa

How many homeless students did you have in your Caltech class? Were they going to bed hungry? Were Caltech professors in danger of being physically attacked? Did they have to buy their own chalk? Did they receive decent compensation for the

C’mon Walter. You can’t really compare a class at Caltech, of all places, to an inner city classroom.

Maybe. A good teacher can only do so much without resources.

One issue is that schools in disadvantaged areas tend to already have bad performance, and if you tie spending to performance results they will in turn receive even less funds, which will cause them to fall even more behind and then get eve

See my comment in the parent thread but basically Git commands like ‘git thing’ actually dispatch to lower level commands, usually with the name git-thing (I’m not a git expert, just something I’ve noticed). And it seems that git builtins

The docs explain that internally ~/.exodus/bin/git is actually a shell wrapper that calls ~/.exodus/bin/git-x (which itself might be a symlink). The -x suffix is added by exodus. My guess is that git is parsing

Great post! As always. You mention that there aren’t many good books about this topic. You should fix that! ;)

What modern tech service (of the kind that would have use for Ion) is dealing with archaeological dates _at scale_? Honest question.
