I admit I've never tried this, but the Linux kernel seems like just another C program. What's to stop me from installing GNU Make, GNU coreutils, gcc, and binutils cross compiled to target x86_64-linux-elf and bootstrap this? It d

Several fields have tiered roles where bootcamps/community college programs are used to fill some of the roles. Several of these are now considered trades jobs, like electronics repair or certified nursing assistant. Depending on the r

Most ECUs have diagnostic messages that can read/write memory. This is often intended to be controlled by what "mode" the ECU is in (manufacturing/engineering/production/dealer-service), but these aren't a

This is a good use case for an AST-based query compiler which would allow construction of clauses in arbitrary order. Using HoneySQL in Clojure, I frequently would write: (-> (from [:cities :c]) (join [:population :c] [:= :c.na

They are giving you javascript which executes on your machine in a browser you control. You can override those APIs do do whatever you want. In my teens, this would probably have served up goatse. Now it's likely to get a picture of a

Sure, but my car doesn't offer any way of feedback so I can tell them it's broken now. Are they testing the weird intersection layouts found in my suburb of Chicago? Further, why doesn't the alert threshold vary based on whet

I've been wondering what the newest and safest car I could own that doesn't report back or at least could have its reporting removed without bricking the vehicle. Do you have any specific vehicles in mind?

My current driver monitoring system (Subaru Outback 2020 with whatever bells/whistles were available) was distracting and wrong so often that I had to disable it. With it on it would try distracting me with flashing messages and beeps

I thought this was a dealbreaker until I installed an SSD in my laptop in the mid to late 00s. When my machine is fully graphical in less than 5 seconds, I just didn't care. My browser restored tabs, my editor restored everything, my d

I successfully use X11 and its network and OS transparency daily. Macbooks don't have 2TB of RAM or schedule 256 threads at the same time.

Why is an expensive party important? You can certainly get married at a Church or at a courthouse for pretty cheap and a party isn't required, but even if it is, you can throw a decent party without thousands of dollars spent. I'v

I think you mean automation is very useful. I've worked in a lot of places where we had a single `make deploy` that could compile, test, upload the artifacts, deploy the artifacts to hosts, start the new services, and slowly transition

Why? The things people often list above language are table stakes. I wouldn't give up a high salary to work in Clojure for a low salary, but that's not a choice you have to make. I wouldn't give up interesting problems, fully

You don't have to in bash because you can just declare that your array is global inside your function. In fact, this is the default behavior.

This depends on the org, but an org that insists on putting me through a timed algo test isn't a place I care to work for.

You can also tell employers "no". I did it in the last round and of 6 companies that tried a leetcode-style interview, only 1 ended talks. I received offers from the other 5 despite not giving them a bullshit timed algo interview.

This seems like your compiler toolchain definition should have been a part of your build system's graph. I do this exact thing, with -Werror on, and bumping to a new gcc version or clang version typically exposes new errors that will b

TPMS works by calculating the RPM of the wheel and knowing the tire size and vehicle speed. Most TPMS setups don't know the actual pressure, they infer it.

This is possible with a mostly Java application (assuming you're willing to venture into user-space network stacks with either a JNI bridge or shared memory with a C/C++/Rust). You only really people go out of their way for t

Parameters have zero bearing on whether you should dynamically construct SQL strings. If parameters can solve all of your problems, you don't have a dynamic SQL query, you have user-submitted values in a WHERE clause. What can be param

I've written a lot raw SQL in the dialect my language supports. This is fine for static queries. When queries are dynamic (maybe they come from an admin panel or some other part with lots of optionality), static SQL isn't enough.

It's really not hard to pick a natural key to use for idempotency in your persistence layer. If you don't want at least once delivery, why are you picking SQS instead of some random ephemeral queue like NATS? I second the parent p

Xenix (an official port of System 7) was available for Intel 286s from Microsoft. There were a number of Unix-like systems for 16 bit systems, and the Ancient Unixen were initially running on 16bit processors (notably the PDP-11). You can r

You can turn this feature off, either via a system property or by binding read-eval to false. e.g. ;; don't let randos launch missiles (binding [*read-eval* false] (read-eval "#=(launch-missiles!)"))

I've seen a lot of professional programmers pick up Clojure from varied backgrounds and come to write idiomatic functional Clojure. I don't actually know many people who use Clojure daily whose first language was a Lisp or an ML,
