I encourage embedded software engineers to experiment with modern development tools. There are a surprising number of ways that even low-level firmware engineers can use clever open source tools to increase development speed. You don't

How many hours does it take to watch the full set of algorithm lectures that you downloaded, even at 2x speed? That sounds like a significant amount of time.

This is a pretty bizarre single data point. However, if this sentiment is actually popular amoung "top CS students" these days I wonder what companies they consider to be tier one.

I would be interested in taking a closer look, although I can't guarantee I'll have time to help decode. If you feel like it you can shoot me an email at the address in my profile! Thanks again.

The Instructable is awesome, thanks for writing it up! Do you have a guess as to what higher-layer protocol Tesla uses (like CANOpen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CANopen )? I used to work on devices with ECUs that commu

Another cool thing about NVMe is the smaller command set -- only about 10 commands (excluding admin commands), vs the 200+ that SCSI has grown to over the years. It's fairly quick to learn.

Top Gear and Clarkson have always given me mixed feelings. It seems clear that he's a huge ass, and their misleading reviews of Tesla and extreme nationalism put me off, but there's no doubt that the show has more entertainment va

Reading these dozens of one sentence summaries gives me an inkling of what it must feel like to be an investor who is pitched to all the time -- a concept really has to stand out to be noticed.

Your approach has the added benefit of making it more likely that your resume will make it through HR recruiter screening. I know that having a biochemistry degree instead of a computer science degree has made some HR employees immediately

I realize that this is a Canada vs SV post, but I wanted to plug Boulder, CO as a great place to start a startup. We don't have even close to the amount of venture capital funding as there is in SV, but the talent pool is large and hig

I recently did this exact thing -- bought a Lenovo laptop with a 5400 RPM disk drive, and immediately popped it out and replaced it with a Crucial MX100 SSD. Installed Linux, it works great :)

This is interesting, the guy who wrote all the worksheets and textbooks (Kuphaldt) must be very prolific.

The introduction is spot on -- it's a bad idea to fall into the trap of thinking that your existing centralized version control knowledge will transfer smoothly to Git. My division recently switched from Subversion to Git for source co

For certain repositories it's also useful to install a git hook to prevent individuals from pushing without properly configuring name/email in .gitconfig. This assumes you have administrative access to the server, of course.

This is an excellent comment, but I want to point out that getting a cancer that has a strong genetic correlation is still "luck" rather than "behavior" from the perspective of a cancer patient.

This looks like a great tool. I have two questions: 1. Can it translate characters to pinyin? I can speak more Mandarin than I can read, so being able to see phonetics would be really useful to me. 2. Do you know of any online stores that s

About a month ago I posted about a great science fiction book that was recently translated from Mandarin to English ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8607914 ). It would be amazing if this tool could incorporate content

I emailed you, but my answer will probably be unsatisfactory. Too many IP rules.
