Yeah my dad is 74 and he says the same thing, in many ways he is still a child, I don’t mean that in a negative way for him, just that he hasn’t matured “on a spiritual level” for lack of a better term. I’m 39 and I’m now the “head of the f

Yeah I was like this for a while - I still felt 19 until I was about 35, then something changed nearly overnight, A calmness and matureness came over me, I don’t feel old, but I feel like I understand the world a lot better, my tastes chang

Canary deploy dude (or dude-ette), route 0.001% of service traffic and then slowly move it over. Then set error budgets. Then a bad service wont "bring down production". Thats how we did it at Google (I was part of the core team r

I’ve been using GPU accelerated computing for more than 10 years now. I write CUDA kernels in my sleep. I have seen 10s of frameworks and 10s of chip companies come and go. I have NEVER even HEARD of Rocm, and neither has anyone in the GPU

Instead of trying to decode the password from the huge decompiled file, can you use a debugger to intercept the call to sqliteopen? Or shim it out? I’m not familiar with Android development enough to know this is possible but this is what I

Let’s hook it up to a sentiment and toxicity model, and then if you’re being too negative online, it will start to deform you into a monster, we could have a real Picture of Dorian Gray!

Try Civilisation, probably start with the current one - Civ 6 Then if you like it you can work your way backwards If you like a more futuristic setting then Endless space 2. Or civilisation beyond earth is really fun to colonise another pla

Optimising solutions is the meditative exercise for me. I enjoy running simulation after simulation after simulation, studying possible outcomes and optimising everything. Everyone is different :)

The same thing happened with the Tetris app, it turned into a money sucking pay-to-play shill. I wish indie discovery was a bit better so it was easier to find works of passion based on love and craftsmanship rather than ranking-gamed money
