The one thing that has become a bit harder to find are lab and assembly workbenches. I bought a 6' and 12' assembly benches, complete with overhead lights, when Hayes Micro went under 30 years ago or so. Paid less than us$200 f

I don't know anyone who doesn't say "I wrote X assembler" with complete understanding by all involved, and I definitely don't know anyone so pedantic they said "acksually, it's 'I wrote X assembly cod

I know this is just about pthreads, but if someone is interested in the topic, Narain Gehani did a lot of work on concurrency in C in the 80s/90s timeframe[1]. Even had a compiler for a language called Concurrent C[2] that didn't

I have never started the interview process before there was a headcount approved[1]. I have never had anyone push back when I said "I'll worry about that when the headcount is approved, because I got things to do"; but then

This. I still have a few XP machines/instances running software/hardware that won't work on newer stuff (logic analyzer, PROM/PAL programmers, old CAD, etc). I don't think I've ever launched a browser on them
