I expected this to be tongue-in-cheek. Hoo boy was I wrong.

Note I put "easy" in quotes because your project was by no means "easy", especially with no tools at your disposal but the internet! Can I ask how you incrementally tested the video circuit as you built it? Did you have

Oh to built 20Mhz systems again! ... no picosecond timing skews to stress over, no ground plane worries, no trace-related design rule violations, no harmonic noise issues, no dynamic bus inversions to prevent victim/attacker degradatio

I would be really interested to know what kind of unit testing was done to prove that a feature like this won't break anything. I see that he left the original messages and added more guidance, so it would be possible to regress agains

Did anyone else find this depressing? I realize the payoff is set up to make you feel cheated (see "crdrost" below), but it had a more existential impact on me until I tried using /dev/urandom parity and after 500 presse

How can you make that claim with a straight face? If you don't know the size of the node/folder/dir and need to compute it, never ever ever ever give a definitive answer that is wrong, give an in progress answer. There should

I watched a documentary on chinese zoos. Well, I watched about 10 minutes of it before I wanted to kill myself. There was a zoo where they could buy LIVE chickens and rabbits to feed to pitifully caged tigers. It was soul crushing. Cultural

All people want to do is go there to take selfies because there isn't enough beach or time to relax and enjoy... so, why can't we make non-natural things more interesting, and make nature super uncool so that people avoid it? a ma

But isn't that $69,000 peanuts compared to the cost to hire sysadmins who are on call 24/7 to swap out: RAM, fans, drives, power supplies, provision new images, etc.?? So you saved on cloud costs, but now you have the admin burden

For a rebuttal, the author lists numerous facts with no citations. Am I wrong for wanting citations in a rebuttal that is adamant about misleading facts in another paper? Why believe one set of uncited facts over another? It is clear that t

This is incredibly honest. Maybe it's just me, but it 100% resonates with me. I find myself doing the exact same thing: as soon as I feel myself mounting up on my high-horse I have to talk myself down from being an asshat. I've go

Really? You gave up one of the best streaming music services because you had to use a captcha every now and then? Huh. Good data point. But you're probably not our target audience if you give up that easy, we sell engineering tools for

I got paid $175/hr as a data analyst contractor to basically run bash, grep, sed, awk, perl. The people that hired me weren't dumb, just non-programmers and became giddy as I explained regular expressions. The gig only lasted 3 mo

foie gras? Huh. It is cheaper than aged rib eye by about half (at a local boutique grocer, aged ribeye is $30-50/lb and foie gras is about $16). I'd finger filet mignon as an overrated showy food because it actually has very littl

I recently replaced a bunch of securimage captchas with reCAPTCHA v2. During testing I had to shut it off because it became increasingly more complicated every page reload. First it was just one page of traffic lights, but 20 minutes later

So what do you do now? Clean up beaches? Work with the poor? Public defender? Something similarly saintly I presume...

Yeah but what if your salary was north of $150/yr + stock and you were in your 20's? I'd be all over that back then. Hell, I'd be all over that now!

63 to 95 years old? Hell, the first month I moved cross-country (at 22) I got really, really sick and couldn't get out of bed to buy groceries. After the third day I considered asking my estranged dad (who I was getting away from) to f

Slimmer frameworks. I went from jQuery to React to Angular to Vue and they keep getting simpler and more user-friendly. I still think the templating system in Vue is a bit clunky but better than alternatives. Expect responsive frameworks to

He was never charged, hence could not be pardoned. However, it is duly noted that I'm trying to reconcile being objective about Obama's own nuanced position, while also supporting whistleblowers like Snowden, Manning and Winner.

I think your solution needs to extend to the hardware components on the board. High security MCUs go through great lengths to defeat sideband attacks on the package (some really neat stuff too like failing if exposed to die shaving). There

I question the author's conclusion of a truly subjective experience. It feels like fancy gatekeeping. The cross-references to social life are in interesting way to tease out meaning, but ultimately the dude is calling people "pose
