I haven't watched the show yet but I hope they manage to accurately capture this sort of continual shameless self-promotion.

Yes, pretty much. This is coming as someone who has helped build ARM clusters. You'll spend a lot of time getting all the parts mounted in a decent way, wiring them up, getting power done properly, writing dozens of SD cards for the op

Two possibilities: 1. The guy who designed the wood version is experienced in bonding wood to aluminium and has good reason for using high modulus epoxy. 2. "High Modulus" sounds really good, let's say that! Nobody wants &quo

They sure made it sound liked the crowdfunded prices were cheaper than retail: "We are offering four variations, and at the conclusion of the Crowd Supply campaign on May 18, all the prices listed below will go up by 10%"

Some interesting choices, some incredibly disappointing. A9 core rather than the virtualization-ready A15? (I'd rather have a 64-bit ARM but those are still a ways out) Edit: and let's not hear about how closed A15 is blah blah. A

Just use Debian Testing. If you find a "Debian-based server OS that is a bit more up-to-date", odds are they're just repackaging testing or unstable anyway.

Can you quit whining about downvotes? It happens. Just move on. You've made as many posts complaining about losing 10 karma as you have about the topic at hand.

Ugh, wish I had checked this after sending it, now it's too late to edit. I think the gist of it is clear, but to make sure: Overprinted with 0x08: requires 3N characters Overprinted with CR: requires 2N+1 characters

by jff 13y ago
To overprint a whole line using 0x08, you'd need one 0x08 for each character in the line. So an N-character line overprinted that way would take N 3 characters in memory. Using CR, you'd need N 2 + 1 characters.

So what's the intended workflow here? You write your code in IGo syntax. Now, you can't compile that code until it's been converted to real Go. And you need to commit the Go source, not just the IGo source, because other peop

Go buy some Chinese-brand tires from Walmart. I'm sure they're just cheaper because they cut out the middlemen and aren't selling a name. They certainly won't blow out after 8000 miles.

And if you show a bunch of electrical engineers a multimeter with a grey face and a yellow border, they'll tell you it's a Fluke. Sparkfun will lose that survey, because their knockoff multimeters appear to be designed specificall

You did benchmarking so you may be able to confirm/deny this: I've heard that Lisp machines went out of favor because Lisp just ran faster on a VAX. Was this the case?
