   Why use this as opposed to Google NaCl or PNaCl?

   I’m in my last year of a PhD in quantum computing, working on experimental error corrected entanglement between superconducting qubits.

   Yeah exactly. But also, even if you don’t want to, you need to.

   "because nobody likes spending time with people in person as default" Maybe it's like eating your veggies.

   Oh ffs another article about Big-O without the actual definition anywhere in it. Put it at the end after motivating it, put it at the beginning and then explain it, I don’t care. Just actually give it at some point.

   As far as I can tell, he’s trying to smush down attention on his voting record by creating as much buzz as possible about how he’s antiestablishment.

   Why are all the articles about Beto about how cool and antiestablishment he is? Just absolutely nothing about what he really intends to do, how he intends to do it, and most importantly, how do we reconcile his conservative voting record wi

   I'm sorry. The tech world is cruel and parts of the culture value youth to a harmful and callous degree. The people who are saying your depression is purely chemical and all that are missing the point that the depression is a reaction

    Articles like this ultimately describe the symptom and not the actual problem. They have a subtext of how we're wasting talented people, and not how we're failing to care for disadvantaged people in general. Ultimately we have to

    It's almost as if the audience of this site participates in an incredibly toxic work culture and we're hearing regular cries for help from the victims of it.

    If CS is so popular right now, how can it possibly command high pay by the time these people hit the job market? Do they all expect to compete against each other for high paying positions? How is that a good bet? Do they expect that there w

    But what technologies are needed to make quantum computing work with say superconducting qubits? High speed room temperature processors? FPGAs and fast DACs/ADCs will do it. Low loss cables? Got that. Low noise amplifiers? Got it. Idk

    Disclaimer: I'm near the end of a PhD in experimental quantum computing. I'm not sure what he means very little progress... we're entangling over long distances, we're doing practical error correction, we're reachin

    0.0001% THD is better than 120 dB, beyond the spec of an APx555. That’s beyond lab spec.

    I’ll switch to Rust for embedded once there’s a really solid USB stack. UART don’t cut it no more for talking to a computer. Seems to be in the works though!

    I suspect there's some fruit on the tree of oscillator based computing. In other words... design memory and gates the way people have been approaching quantum computing, with no focus on quantum coherence.

    So your productivity hacks boil down to doing all the things that most people complain make a developer difficult to work with.

    I think my point is that knowing when to sharpen the saw, if the saw is sharp enough for the job, and knowing when to stop sharpening and start sawing is the hard thing. The general problem here is a combination of estimating the time it wi

    Productivity is largely dominated by decisions to keep using and deal with a tool which is mediocre for the job or to redesign the tool... and often the best decision is to keep using. I've found management of technical debt to be one

    Why do you think this? Who are these elites that never leave security holes in things? The snowden leaks show they don't work for the NSA. They don't work in consumer electronics... the deeply flawed copy protection schemes in mos

    I think deep down people understand that native development is better but somehow there's too much inertia behind everything being browser based. It's really frustrating. I genuinely miss Delphi.
