What does ISA have to do with semiconductors? RISC-V is an open ISA, I would have thought that chip fabbing and ISAs are effectively unrelated (the ISA might determine the layout of the silicon but it's not like x86-64 is drastically d

I agree, when learning new codebases, the ones that take me the longest time to learn are the ones with many layers of indirection. I view over-indirection as an anti-pattern and I often see it come from engineers who take the DRY philosoph

Seeing a few posts on HN or blogs about "quiet quitting" (which appears to be doing exactly what is required of you, no more, no less... a misnomer then.), and "ghosting" employers... is not even comparable to the 50,000

I can only speak for Raspi 3B+, but I agree. I have multiple services running on it (including pihole, qbittorrent, vpn) and it's at about 40% mem usage right now.

> Yay that's like... almost as much as normal 1U server can do What about cost, and other metrics around cost (power usage, reliability)? If space is the only factor we care about then it seems like a loss.

I think this analogy fails in a number of ways, the biggest being that the assumption is the driver has "just started" and fails "one race". Neither are true for the executive in question. Not only that but the analogy e

While I agree with you, it's possible to write this comment without the snarky, reddit-style tone. I think re-writing your comment to be less snarky and more patient would lend itself to a better website experience. Cheers.

This describes some of my CS modules experience down to a tee. Overall I had a great time and I look back on the whole experience fondly, but those few modules where nothing clicked, nothing made sense and the examples given never fit the w

A name does not imply sex. Even if it did, the parent wrote multiple paragraphs and you get hung up on something as inconsequential as this. Take a day off.

The life of a peasant was one of serfdom, watching too many of your children die before their 4th birthday. The wheat you grew you had to mill in a landlord's mill and they collected a tax from it. There was no light in the evenings be

Interesting! I assumed all modern ovens are pretty much convection these days but I guess the tech doesn't make sense across the pond (for whatever reason?) From what I mean before, it's basically unheard of to buy a single oven w
