I think a lot of people are missing the point here, or just read the first two points of the article and didn't go further. TLDR: - reading many books doesn't mean that you don't read some of them in depth, or for enjoyment -

This is an interesting viewpoint, but I don't understand what this has to do with "today's" software. Nor do I understand why you think it's primarily towers of shit. I don't think we have great ways of encodin

I mostly allocate static areas in the BSS segment. That way, I know at compile time that I allocated my memory correctly, assuming that I have my stack under control. Then I follow my two rules of embedded development: - no recursion - ever

C/C++ embedded developer here. I've never used Rust in embedded because I didn't really see the need. But I'm currently taking a retreat and I started playing with embedded Rust. At work I had the same stance as you, and

If by socrates you mean "the more i know the less i know", I think that's a different idea. I am curious about the "the more you know, the less you think you know, but actually you know quite a bit". An inverted dun

Is that idea of Taleb that the more you know, the more you underestimate what you already know out of the black swan?

Thanks! I hope you read this. My intent with the article was to say "you might thing someone can't acknowledge when they're wrong, but that's not always the case. here's my experiences." it might or might not h

I make a point to read at least the table of contents and flip each page through when i get a new book, even if i won't read it. Of course I already read the table of contents before buying it, and might have skimmed through the libgen

It's actually not the worst organizing system, I often remember books by their color.

I own many more books than I will ever read. I also own many books where I have read maybe 2 chapters, usually the first two but not always. Of course, I could download them as PDF, or put them in my wishlist, or keep endless lists of inter

Since I also put PAIP in my top 5 books, here are my 4 other ones: - The Pragmatic Programmer - This changed my life when I started programming 20 years ago. Most of the practices are now common, but it was almost radical back then. - Desig

I should maybe have used another word. Mathematica has changed a lot (mostly by accruing functionality) that a lot of these examples seem old in the way they're written. The content is just as good as ever, and nothing beats fundamenta

It's actually just a really good book about programming, with both "high-level" but also really practical advice (how to attack performance issues, how to debug). The examples are all really fun to build and extend. In fact I

I fully agree with this. I brought this example up because clearly there is a problem here. But, no one is wrong, and shutting down the conversation as "you just can't admit when you are wrong" is not productive for anyone (s
