A few things about this stand out: - Calligra with two 'l's is the name of a KDE office suite. - Why does the keyboard have macOS keys? At least as a Linux user, I've felt like most Linux desktops reflect the Windows keyboard

I had an LG gram before the battery in it gave out and now it won't boot with the battery plugged in. The battery life was amazing, it always slept properly, etc. Now I have a Framework. It randomly reboots when I close the lid, the ba

This sort of reminds me of the Numworks, except this feels a bit more artisan (and expensive). In high school, my friends got onto the Numworks bandwagon, and we even used them on the SATs and AP tests (they were explicitly allowed). To be

The Charlotte Micro Center opening was great, and was perfect timing since I was able to get some adapters I needed urgently without ordering online. Got the free mug out of it too! I wonder if the mugs will become valuable collectibles in

Chris Spargo has a great YouTube channel, glad (and unsurprised!) to see it referenced in an article posted to Hacker News.

Isn't Mongo source available too? So it sort of seems to contradict the mission of this organization to use it.

Honestly, it's because of what Sun's innovations in systems software that I look so fondly on their work. I do ask myself after reading the HN comment you linked, how often is the limiting factor of systems software the hardware?

If it meant that people who didn't want to do software didn't ans people who wanted to do software did software, then it sounds nice. I was never interested in making a lot of money in software. A question, though. Was software de

Well I still think that software like DTrace, ZFS, NFS, IRIX and Solaris, IrisGL, and the like are cool, even if there was a lot of hardware engineering. I realize that there are disadvantages to it, but the variances in ISAs (MIPS, SPARC,

Good ideas! Thanks for the suggestions. The thing I would say is that I think a step into the embedded world is quite tangible for me, but I want to be working on more of the datacenter wired/high-speed networks. I suppose the best pla

I'd contend that you can develop interest and talent but struggle to grow without extra exposure. I became interested in computers literally because of Scratch in middle school! But I wouldn't have progressed without having a pare

by kaladin-jasnah 1y ago
Yeah. I think it's about exposure, though. You can find your interests, talents, and such more easily if you have the luck to have the smörgåsbord of cool things in life presented to you at a young age.

This seems to place interest and talent as equivalent. The issue is that while I might be talented at TypeScript, I have zero interest in it. I know this because I got paid an unreasonbly high amount of money as an undergrad to write async

There was something squalidly satisfying in your imagery; well done. Somehow the writing style vaguely stirred a memory of the essay "On Bullshit" by Harry Frankfurt.

I also think it's not super easy to evaluate whether you have an innate talent for something. The example of Ramanujan reading math textbooks when he was twelve is definitely an exceptional case, but I also think it's not clear to

Well, it's less of a feature argument, and more of a "I philosophically don't support using an OS that prevents me from using parts of it, because I oppose losing control over the software my system runs."

From what I checked, disabling SIP/AMFI/whatever it is now means I can't run iOS applications on macOS. The fact that there are restrictions on what I can run when doing that makes macOS more restrictive. Also, what if I want

Interesting. Curious if anyone has more details on the PS5 Redis server? I did not know there was one running on the PS5; I wonder what the console uses it for.
