The corresponding reddit thread is quite insightful: "It is far cheaper to make one very good chip for the highest market, and modify it slightly for lower end markets... Now, this is the part you hate: this is the only viable alternative.

He actually describes it in the thread, a little farther down: "No, no schematic, what I did was look for resistors that looked like they had an alternative position, have a look at the photos and you will see what I mean. Any that I suspec

This is huge. I have worked at startups where employees feels animosity towards the dev team. "What do they even do?" people ask, given we roll in at 11am and don't ever seem to fix any of the things that are broken for them. Of course we a

I agree with the premise that, as a professional software engineer, it is my responsibility to be a polyglot. As for myself, when I started writing Python, I mainly wrote C or Java code in Python - in a similar way, perhaps, how early C p

This is really neat! Kudos to github. Here is a question: as one of two engineers at a 6-person seed-round startup, what could we be doing to contribute to the ecosystem of people who support women in technology? We don't have the office sp

I listened to an NPR Splendid Table segment [1] where they say that, in a blind taste test, nobody can really differentiate between the taste of farm-fresh eggs versus supermarket. Do you find the experience (colors, community, etc?) of fre

I have one of the current Dell Ubuntu laptops, the XPS 13. I really like it! Except. Except the thing literally freezes - completely locks up - several times a day. I've upgraded the BIOS and I've updated the kernel from the Sputnik reposit

Did you go to a boarding school? (I graduated from a public HS boarding school.) Far from structure, outside of class, it is much easier for students to become distracted, since one residential advisor cannot possibly supervise a hall of

This is neat! Unfortunately, the editor does not work for me. It makes Chrome crash the page :( I'm running Chrome 24.0.1312.69 on one of those new Dell XPS 13 Ubuntu machines running 12.04.2 LTS. Is there any other information you'd want f

Here is a question: I am an early employee at a small startup (5 people.) We don't have much space, nor do we have lots of cash. Which means we couldn't possibly set aside a few rooms to host hacker school - we just have a small office in B

I think the top-voted answer here is totally off. In c2008, during college, I worked at IBM on mainframes for internships and co-ops. I worked on the Omegamon products on z/OS. Later I worked at Fidelity, where I was minimally involved with

I keep trying to get my dad to get rid of his landline. But he won't, because he sends faxes. "Here," I said, "try this." I showed him HelloFax. That was a no-go, citing privacy concerns. How can he be sure they aren't stealing or saving hi

I used to (vehemently!) agree with this sentiment! Then, for a startup I worked for, I said "Enough is enough. I'm going to automate this report for you and it will be so much better!" I was automating a 12-step Excel-macro-vlookup-pivot-ta

I have tried rEFIt! On my late 2011 MBP I was not able to get it to work. So either I was installing and configuring it wrong (definitely possible) or it just doesn't work any more. (Or maybe a combination of both. This is the life of an

This is great! It's so hard to find bugs in software tools because the conventional wisdom is that "it's never a bug in the compiler." Interesting that you had to create two patches for python 2.x and 3.x. (Frustrating, no?) Seems like you
