This reply is full of assumptions... What if this person is secular? Or from one of the other hundreds of spiritual flavors? How would you react if somebody tells you to head to a mosque because you are not feeling well?

The future proofing of a codebase from the article is IMHO wrong. This is another form of tech debt as you'll get it wrong almost all the time and it will generate dead code or arcane hacks to make it fit for the actual reality. The wa

The issue is that the RAM needs to be close to the CPU and the edge that is the closest to the CPU is probably where designers want to put the cooling exhaust and radiator.

This product page is just terrible. I went through it, played a couple noisy videos, I could not even read the labels of the 3 first rows of buttons, I have no idea how it exactly works... Surely just adding and subtracting like the video s

Reading the list of features I see that dolphin from kde under Linux checks a lot of those boxes, which ones in particular do you miss?

I guess you mean on the desktop? If this thing runs linux, it is as serious as everything that can run Linux.

If you are strong in C++ you can get pretty good jobs in robotics, trading, game engines. But TBH at that point it might be more interesting to learn Rust that is on the rise across the industry.

This is a pretty good trial for Rust Simd! What were the most surprising quirks of it when you inspected the generated code?

This seems so so extremely unlikely for an auto parking feature vs the huge legal risk and the certainty of getting caught: at any time Valeo can see that an algorithm is tuned similarly, sue and find their source code at Nvidia. The AV dep

I highly recommend watching the recent interview of Dave Cutler, it gives some perspective on that https://youtu.be/xi1Lq79mLeE?si=D8_40BPga4Qj5jsW

In France, we can ask for "une livre de beurre" which directly translates to "a pound of butter" which has been standardized to 500g (half a kilogram). So yay! You can use one freedom unit in France ;)

Neovim with the rust LSP is really good (code assist, etc..), the debugger story is more complex I sometimes pop up clion+rust plugin just for that.

I see usize as the "memory indexing type" for the current platform I run on, storing it or sending it over some middleware should be a rare fringe case IMHO.

I have Arch Linux + Nvidia (3090 not even something super recent) + KDE. I am very motivated to continue with Wayland but: 1. It disables GPU acceleration on Chromium/Chrome 2. A major regression introduced glitches on all the elect

"4x USB 3.0 Type-A, 1x USB 2.0 Type-C" Why do manufacturers do this? At this point USB 2 is legacy and type A too and they manage to mix the 2 in the worst combo possible...

It is true for the kernel though. Linus has a strict non regression (of the user code) rule. If some user code starts to break because of a kernel change, the kernel team takes the blame no question asked.

They explain it in the article, it is to differenciate between an int directly or a pointer. Pointers are aligned so they cannot have their LSB at 1.

Or simply "management by metrics", it is pervasive. VP's OKR/KPI is met, the bonus is paid and who cares if the company collapses the next morning!

To me, this is definitely a major safety hazard to rely on voice command. If you just get splashed and in a stressed out voice you ask for wipers and your car might not understand you.

Interesting comment. Scaling "out" is costly in complexity and only needed... well... If it is needed! 700k transactions per second on a single machine from 2013 is probably millions per second on a modern machine. We need to be c
