I’ll believe it when there are pine products in my hand. Love them as a company, but wish they had more products that ya know, you could actually purchase.

All of them do this, having been on both sides of the equation. I can't tell you how much it hurts your soul to work at a consulting firm or implementation shop. I took a job once where they said I could hire a team of great engineers

Only if you spend too much time on it. You do have to wet your tip more frequently when you are using high temp with flux core. However, I end up with shiny, well made joints 99% of the time. If I burn off the flux, I typically will wick it

My trick for soldering wires to PCBs is to put a large blob of solder on the pcb, tin the wire (with a bit more than you normally would) and then just heat the joint/wire and am done. I run my iron really hot (750F/400c) and just

I mean a 25 year plus run on the 6500s is a pretty good example. Or even the 10 year run of early nexus products. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/switches/catalyst-6500...

Maybe I am self selecting, but I don't think I have seen a desktop computer or motherboard in the last 15 years without spidf over toslink or RCA. Hell, for that matter a bunch of laptops and even apple until recently included mini tos

Maybe they can figure out a way to harness the rage/anger of people who call into these things into electricity... That would probably be near unlimited energy.

I think that messaging and how it is presented is quite important. In that regard, Trump was absolutely trash at communicating anything and set back several decades of public policy progress in so many ways. For example, when the TikTok s

Ironically the new TSMC plant is being built down the street from a place that uses dynamite for its rock quarry. I live about the same distance from the quarry as TSMC is and I can sometimes feel/hear them when they use explosives. I

As a product person, if the engineering leadership has a personal preference and it impacts the ability to deliver features... I'm not sure why they wouldn't push back.

I think they will have significant difficulties ever bringing a product to the US or EU market. Having observed business dealings related to Comac when they first came about, I’m actually surprised any planes have been built at all. I perso

One of the issues with this type of thing is that each fab has slightly different ways of taking the HDL and converting to their process. These come in the form of a PDK and each fab and process will have their own development kits. The thr

Most of the time the stage is quite a bit quieter than the audience… like 10-100x quieter depending on the venue.

Microsoft is going all in on being a recurring revenue company. Being able to execute win32 code on Linux can help them move workloads to azure.

Has it 100% been confirmed that Adam == Sharp? There are certainly allegations that Sharp talked with the media, but on breaches like this there are typically multiple people working them with detailed knowledge. The timing is suspect, but

They very well have opened themselves to discovery, which is why it is very unwise to throw stones in glass houses when it comes to litigation. I have seen this before where a company opens a defamation suit against someone, they then don&#

I'm not who you are talking to, but the bar to having a successful outcome for this type of suit is very high. Anyone who is familiar with litigation and the bad PR that comes with this type of suit would run from this as quickly as po

Having worked in the infosec community for close to 20 years now... What you are seeing is the result of the commoditization/expansion/specialization of the industry. The issue with security is there is literally unlimited work an

I think it was 50% underestimating the ferocity of the Ukrainian defense and 50% overestimating the ability of Russia to fight a modern conflict. Combined with the rapid influx of modern anti tank missiles, electronic warfare and UAVs prior

Pervasive monitoring, censorship, state sponsored disinformation and hacking also make a more hostile internet. I think that we are legitimately at a point where people should just go into things assuming they are hostile and/or unsafe

I disagree that optparse is more broken than argparse. As someone who wanted to add some (trivial) features to argparse, I quickly backed away from that code [1]. To be honest, I was really surprised how needlessly complex that particular c

I think that we should do whatever pushes the edge of science forward quickest and ideally in a manner that doesn’t sink all of our resources on one area of focus. If the way NASA does things isn’t the most effective way to do that, then th

For which account? At least a few years ago, some of their apps or certain workflows didn't support certain MFA methods like u2f token auth and stuff like that.

A mistake happens once. When you refuse to correct that mistake and blame the other person, it is no longer a mistake, it is your stated position on the matter.

Because it isn’t just in those countries reporting this and they have objectively much more freedom of the press compared to Russia? Also, Russia state media tends to lie… a lot. Like a lot, a lot.

This is so short sighted on the side of intel. If anything, intel needs to reduce the sku count of the xeons, not add dozens more options. Microsoft started doing this after they realized that people don’t want to look at a spreadsheet to f
