I'm 6'3" and I have large hands. I'd love another 17" laptop. Anything less than 15" is an ergonomic torture device.

Yeah, I attempted to read The Hidden Life of Trees and couldn't even finish it, just a bunch of anthropomorphized BS.

I got terrific grades until very late in high school, when I realized it was all stupid busy work and I didn't care about any of it any more. Luckily GPA was still high enough to get into my pick of colleges. Then I nearly failed out o

This is a little harsh, upgrade cycles in these fields are very long. I'm working on a project right now where we are upgrading from iMX6 (quad A9) to iMX8 (quad A53).

"The Source" by James Michener is fun historical fiction on the subject. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Source_(novel) I'm also a big fan of the Cartoon History of the Universe series. https:/

Spam (and the resultant filtering) is killing independent email, and it's an ongoing problem on Big Company Hosted Email too. I barely use email anymore. Everything at work is mediated by Slack or Atlassian. With friends and family it&

US-led economic sanctions have made a bad situation much worse, as outlined in the original article. In fact they mostly don't work at all. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2023/04/11/11690721

Also highly recommended - the British Food History Podcast (and companion blog), with the aptly named Dr. Neil Buttery. Here's the episode about Forme of Cury. https://britishfoodhistory.com/tag/forme-of-cury/

In some sense the wildest thing about this story is that you can do almost everything Steve's custom built rig was designed for, with just a smartphone.

Yep, this is 100% accurate. Unless you hold a founding partner sized stake, you have no influence over the cap table and it's going to change drastically with each round of investment anyway. Startup options are about as valuable as lo

Glass just wasn't very good. Tiny low resolution display, poor quality camera, uncomfortable to wear, terrible battery life. Pivoting to "for Enterprise" was just a half-assed attempt to make back some of the $$$ wasted on de

As a comedy act, I love it. From an engineering perspective, if someone is this clever and creative, I'd love to see him put this much effort into something genuinely useful!

The vast majority of industrial/embedded hardware is still on mPCIe. I have only started seeing M.2 in these applications in the last few years, believe it or not.
