Yeah, a buddy of mine works at D-Wave. They held the world record for the longest quantum state (or maybe still do, I think it was like 15 mins or something) and I'd joke that they couldn't get past 15 mins because they'd lif

Looks like Joris is now at SFU according to his homepage: http://www.texmacs.org/joris/main/joris.html . Would be cool to run into him someday

For what an AVR is actually capable of over VGA (with sound): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNCqrylNY-0 Its better than what most NES systems did at the time, even without a dedicated video / sound system.

Your last paragraph sums what why everyone on HN is so upset about the interview process. That is, the process is tailored for new grads, and what is being tested is not at all related to the job. 5 years of schooling, and 10 years of exper

What if a single line change, given it took 2 weeks, fixed 40% of your crash rates? That fix alone is worth millions, almost 100x - 1000x the engineer's hourly salary in down time.

True, but a couple github imports and 10 lines of code generates a 100mb binary. But, to be fair, I guess we're okay with shipping huge binaries now a days because we're literally shipping whole environments with docker anyway.

I don't necessarily think paradigms are the problem. The real problem is too much code is just that - too much code. Projects grow to huge sizes, and anyone under time pressure to either produce or extract code under business pressures

To each their own. If you're in vim, you don't need to leave your editor if you prepend an exclamation mark to the above expression. I often do a lot of prototyping with: !gcc main.c -fsanitize=address -Og && ./

I mean, take it one step further then: gcc main.c && ./a.out && rm -f a.out

why not just do gcc main.c && ./a.out

You think this is a knee jerk reaction to Apple's ARM line announcement and Japan's TOP500 ARM headlines?

True, but we can blame the programmer as we usually do

Well, I wrote a couple projects that gained a couple hundred (and thousand) stars. I've made the front page of Hackernews three or four times. I've been featured on HackaDay and I've been spoken about on Linux Gaming Podcast.

Sounds like new age stoicism? Roman philosophers, 2000 years ago, were teaching us to curb our desires for they ultimately lead to dissapointment when things don't work out. The Enchiridion of Epictetus is a good place to start. You&#x

My friend, when I moved into my new apartment I went without WiFi for 2 years and did nothing but code on my T43. In that time I managed to rewrite (a variant of) Age of Empires 2.

X230 at 1366x768 checking in, can confirm, no problem at all. I'm primarily a C programmer. 1366x768 limits my functions to about 35 lines at 100 columns wide. My font is Terminus, sized at 14. I thank my x230 for enforcing me into a p
