When I was interviewing for jobs in the Bay area I noticed entry level salaries (even at smaller shops) were in the range of 100-120k and rent was like 35-40% of your salary after taxes. Certainly higher than the recommended 30% but it&#x27

There are three really important things about the Fourier transform in my mind. Two are math and one is engineering. - the Fourier Transform preserves energy (Parceval's theorem, the norm of the transformed function is the same as the

Please don't turn "API" into the next "blockchain", where I have to fend off VCs asking me how I incorporate APIs into my product or if I'm currently developing any APIs. That would be like me asking them about

I was a huge fan of your app! We used to play around with it a bit in high school. To be fair to Apple here (and this was way before my time, so I'm probably mixing stuff up) - Garageband dates to 2004 with the eMagic acquisition and w

I read the title as "don't force callers to allocate" not "don't do allocations behind the call" which is what the post is about. Totally agree on that point, but with nuance. Any call that allocates (or blocks

I have personally seen both sides of the this and have worked on DRM solutions. The merits and efficacy of DRM highly depends on what you're locking down, how you lock it down, and who is being locked out. For example. Hardware DRM (TP

The Serial Time Link Protocol (STLP) looks really cool to me - I've thought for awhile that the next-gen in audio gear would be more modular front ends that sit on top consumer protocols, which is where things are moving in broadcast&#

You can integrate with COM already through winapi [1] (and author your own COM objects too with com-impl[2]). GUI stuff is still a long way from being useful, but a huge chunk of code has nothing to do with UIs. And Rust can integrate with

I think Rust adoption has pointed out that the idea of safe C/C++ developers are a myth. It's an appeal to authority to be sure, but if Intel and Microsoft (and others, but those two have talked about it) are finding that their se

I strongly disagree. Engineering is the study and practice of problem analysis and design synthesis. Whether that means using abstractions of the physical world or how data is structured and processed is unimportant. Any approach to the und

There's a weird bar for confidence, to be frank. Most often I've found that people disregard studies with people who have "golden ears" because they're not average ears, or that studies find that only those with &qu

You can kind of hack a shared cache using cargo workspaces (put all your rust projects in one directory as part of a workspace) but that is far from ideal. All your projects will share a target directory and Cargo.lock. I agree though. I do
