Yep. "Profiling or it didn't happen." The issue is that it's essentially impossible for even the most neckbeard of us to predict with a high degree of accuracy and precision the performance on modern systems impact of ch

Makefiles don't scale all that well as portability and platform-specific gotchas lead to software configuration management headaches. Cmake is a step in the direction of creating a maintainable and simple portability layer. It can crea

I never understood Twitter's business logic of nuking Vine or how Periscope was so poorly leveraged. It's like they footgunned themselves with a machine gun and kept going to remove all of their toes.

Vine existed before. There's nothing particularly magical or defensible about a short video platform like TT except the content that can be exported and current state of its graph of users who can always choose to message their friends

Also from startup land. I only have points 1 and 3. The salary is laughable unless you have no other option. I can make more or less a personality test seem however I want it to seem so they're about as useful as Rorschach tests and po

Sort of works if you start that way. Meta sort of does this by putting the onus of creating and working on the right project on individual contributors. This is sort of product and project management evasion of division of labor by making e

The way the world works: dismiss enormous numbers of deaths when they're unknown, nameless, individual, low status people, or happen to Rwandans or Palestinians in distant lands and not pretty children of celebrities.

Coworker once got a 25W @ 400 MHz radio burn of their hand by accidentally setting a transmitter to high power with a small whip antenna connected and grasping it without thinking about it.

Work in the radio group of an industrial electronics company. Arcane magic, unexplained gremlins, and qualitative standard recipes that happen to work are par for the course.

Anyone less technical or unfamiliar, here's a decent visual explanation of how FPGAs are constructed.[0] Generally, there are 5 types of resources: 1. Clocking and clock distribution 2. Interconnect and bus logic 3. Sequential logic (s

Same boat here. I would suggest using your network and consider a path of least resistance such as building a side-business while working that either solves niche enterprise problems or makes enterprise capabilities more manageable for smal

Everyone knows 4 KiB memory pages just magically appear in the page table and OS kernel data structures with exactly the same computational and storage complexity as 1 GiB ones. /s in case it wasn't transparent. It's stupid e

Erlang enters the chat to brag about efficient HiPE GC by tying objects to processes. Pony enters the chat to brag about ORCA. Rust enters the chat to brag about precise memory management without GC per se. Those bastards!

This is 2024. We need formally-verified operating systems, applications, and tools in the spirit of seL4 but going beyond it in rigor. Cobbling together lightly tested, over-engineered, heaving codebase systems with fragile, dangerous langu

Laughable title of article. RF in the real world is somewhat of a magical gremlin. There are materials and designs though that are better and worse for transmitting 5 & 6 GHz. Ask me how I know. :@]

Holy shit. I was thinking about this use-case the other day. I was thinking about whether a deep learning model could draw on the internet to identify objects in film screen captures and determine what they were or if they were unique. For

If you want high performance people who do work that requires a lack of interruptions, open office ass-in-seat mentality with lots of pointless meetings is the worst. Open offices promote interruptions and make them socially "acceptabl

Fuck the "owning" of terminology laying claim to individual words. It's utter horseshit.

Also, orange juice, while not laden with HFCS, has even more calories than Coke. (Exception: Tropicana waters down their re-flavored, rehydrated, old, deoxygenated concentrate to the same sugar levels as soda.) Fruit juices are essentially

Not many. They're flavored water. Randos who lay down the tired bullshit Sodas all the same are morons who don't have a clue what they're talking about. The biggest negatives are likely the acidification due to the presence

Yes. It's like don't expect an engineering manager to code and manage. Have a department with world-class lecturers and researchers, and let it be okay that they are often different people. For example, take the UC Davis compute

Research universities have devolved into memetic generation machines valuing quantity (publish) over quality (considered the "perish" camp) as a consequence of the upheaval in university socioeconomic demographic shifts post-WW2.

Employee ownership is moral imperative. Worker owned co-ops should be de rigueur, not a rarity. It's absurd that companies like Amazon force people to work for peanuts and pee in bottles and yet reap enormous profits that aren't s
