I have a suspicion that outside of the 10 people writing lisp seriously—shirakumo, stylewarning, lispm, and some others— there’s more characters of prose praising lisp being written than lisp being written. It’s a great language. I really l

Up until this moment I absolutely hated electron apps. Now I realize I hate the entire app ecosystem. Here’s why — to make an app that really feels like a desktop app, you have to build the whole thing from scratch. You have to pick a date

I wonder what Yarvin thinks of NFTs. It’s like the VHS vs Betamax of cynical obfuscated decentralized scams.

Yes. The magnitude will be lower than an STM32 running at 100 MHz but they’re there. They’re usually benign and tiny but when your return path is a loop antenna then there’s a chance there will be issues.

That's the specification of a measuring instrument. Commercial VMCs don't hold 0.00025” over 20" even without being loaded. A slight temperature change will throw that off.

It's a cute trick but I can't imagine a worse ground plane. People say ok -- this is fine for low frequency circuits. There is no such thing as a low frequency circuit when there's a microcontroller present since the clock ed

Admittedly when I was writing this I was thinking about the rather narrow case of answering questions on IRC or forums or what have you. Volunteer stuff. It does get substantially more complicated when your job depends on them getting to th

I was providing a silly example but there is a continuum as you’ve identified. My point is that it’s not your place to decide how far along this continuum to go. It’s the job of the person asking the question.

From being on both ends of this, just answer the question as asked. It’s especially irritating when people essentially overreach and just decide you’re asking the wrong question. You’re saying “no I’m insisting on being more helpful than yo

you can also buy an old fadal or some other thing and just run it or retrofit it, and this is pretty cost effective.

They don’t hold great tolerances, but if that’s ok then they’re fine.

The problem is that once you start adding up the cost of the components to make a capable CNC mill, you get really close to the price of existing ones. Ball screws, good linear rails, etc. are no joke. Big heavy castings (cast iron or polym

Ok this is a lot so I can't tackle all of it but let's see (1) The wave functions are vectors in a Hilbert space. Functions can form a vector space. The domain of these functions you might as well think of a bit like an index, but

It feels a little like we're going back to 2005-era deviantart "trendwhore" style design. Big text, numbers with leading zeroes (01, 02, etc.) for some reason, lots of line art, artificially shaded 3D stuff. I don't mind

The statement "The authors are badly paid researchers" is completely incorrect. I chose one out of the 7 people mentioned in the article at random. Check the other 6 and I'm certain you'll find at least 3 are wealthy. I

The thing I still don't understand about REPL driven development is how you manage state, and how you manage threads. If I have a task running and it depends on a collection of global variables, those global variables now need some mac

Qubits are getting smaller at the same time their coherence times are getting longer. The millions of qubits figure assumes pretty crappy coherence times. I don’t see any reason why you wouldn’t fit a future QPU on a 4 inch wafer or some ki

What no. Opamps don’t multiply and they don’t operate at the speed of light. They have some timescale that goes like their bandwidth, which depends on their feedback path.

No. Quantum computers are not known to provide any speed up to any NP problems.

elm doesn’t have anything like unsafe blocks or much of an FFI. It has ports, which make integration with many libraries rather cumbersome. The elm philosophy seems to be to rewrite everything in Elm, and to disincentivize binding.
