I don't understand the argument for rST. If you need more control than Markdown can deliver, then write your stuff in HTML to begin with. I have written a ton of documents in plain HTML, including slide decks, documentation for custome

So on one hand they are saying it's voltage (i.e. something external, not their fault, bad mainboard manufacturers!). On the other hand they are saying they will fix it in microcode. How is that even possible? Are they saying that thei

Wait, so you still need zig, and zig still needs LLVM. If you have LLVM, you have clang. What is the value proposition of this compiler, then?

I find the reasons why he's advocating that interesting. It's got for his mental health, it looks good to recruiters, it makes the work more incremental (wat?), and it gives him a dopamine hit. Notably absent are reasons that woul

You are confusing simplicity (it's easy to understand and straightforward to implement safely) with convenience (I have zero understanding of how it works and couldn't implement it securely if my life depended on it, but someone a

I never understood this culture of envy in tech. Can't you just marvel at the achievement without worrying whether celebrating this could be seen as taking something away from somebody else? Personally I don't care much who was fi

For what it's worth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z3_(computer) The claims made on that web page are true. There have been several attempts to rebuild one of his machines. One of them used to be shown in the

This does not explain llm.c. It is more like a rumination on abstraction.

Has anyone else noticed how you can skip the first paragraphs or even pages on practically all "online journalism" these days? In this case the headline is already clickbait. They could have just told us what the man tried. Then t

I read several pages of clickbaity fluff that repeatedly told me it was going to tell me eventually about Eisenhowers method but didn't. Then I closed the tab. Please do not boost articles like this.

The title is misleading. He really advocates for leaving your comfort zone. That said, I would really love it if everybody could calm down and stop getting offended so much. Realize that from the perspective of the other person, YOU are the

This is actually a pretty big deal. They sell servers, but as a finished product. Not as a cobbled together mess of third party stuff where the vendor keeps shrugging if there is an integration problem. They integrated it. It comes with all

I found this write-up hilarious. I have been toying with the idea of experimenting with Swift under Linux myself for a while now. I guess this puts that idea to rest. I'm not even talking about the illegal instruction thing or the capr

I would like to remind everyone that Google invented HTTP/2. Now they are telling us a yarn about how they are heroically saving us from the problem they created, but without mentioning the part that they created it. The nerve of these

I would love it if it became standard practice for projects to list their dependencies. I was going to try this but it wanted to pull in Catch2 (some unit testing framework) and apparently has a dependency on Qt. It is good and nice if your

If you have never heard of Bernstein, this may look like mad ramblings of a proto-Unabomber railing against THE MAN trying to oppress us. However, this man is one of the foremost cryptographers in the world, he has basically single-handedly

Oh don't get me wrong! I don't agree with the overall move. I just think their customers should have seen it coming from a mile away. Capitalists are going to capitalist. Just like I thought the cloud customers should have anticip
