Almost all laptops these days come with SSDs and last I checked, OpenBSD doesn't support TRIM. Has this been fixed? Is lack of TRIM a non-issue?

I've made small code contributions to Firefox and Servo, both Mozilla projects, and I have nothing but good things to say about everyone involved with the two projects. As a newcomer to both, the respective teams were very welcoming,

I'm wondering the same thing. In the announcement, they say "two more than MBP" so I'm hoping it's a quadcore

The Berkeley AI class on edX[0] covers this, and other related algorithms, like alpha-beta pruning. It's a very fun class; recommended for anyone interested in this sort of thing [0]: https://www.edx.org/course/ar

Isn't the first example undefined behavior? I always thought you shouldn't assign data to a union using one member, then access the data using a different member.

Yep, that's what Disruptor is for. Here's a blog post by one of the devs giving more details about the ring buffer where she specifically mentions that objects are pooled to avoid the GC http://mechanitis.blogspot.com&

IIRC, LMAX Disruptor[0] uses the same concept with its ring buffer to avoid GC-related slowdown. [0]: https://github.com/LMAX-Exchange/disruptor

Very cool! I've been working on the microcorruption CTF myself, and it inspired me to work on a MSP430 emulator. From the newsletter that the folks at Starfighter sent out a few weeks ago, emulating the AVR is tricker so kudos to you

I've had the opportunity to sleep in a lot lately, and I've found that I feel physically and mentally the most rejuvenated around the 9 hour mark. Shorter than that and my thinking is on the sluggish side, and longer and I feel t

Just out of curiosity, how much of TAOCP have you worked through in terms of exercises? I'm currently working through Concrete Mathematics and while it's a very good book, I'm also finding it very challenging, so I'm a

It reminded of how pickup artists market their books/seminars[0], which gave me a little chuckle. Nevertheless, I'm excited about this, and signed up immediately. [0]: www.blueprintdecoded.com/

I recently switched over to making cold brew coffee at home. It's incredibly easy to make a week's worth at time, tastes great, and just as convenient as instant coffee.

I enjoy reading well-written C code, and in my opinion, two very good examples are redis and the Quake 3 source (the same goes for all other id/Carmack code). Reading the Quake stuff is doubly enjoyable thanks to Fabien Sanglard's

I can't say enough good things about SICP. I'm currently working my way through it, and it's such a joy. Watching Prof. Abelson and Sussman's recorded lectures from the 80's is equally enjoyable because they'

'How to Solve It' looks to be just the book I've been looking for. I would say I'm fairly good at problem solving, but I've always felt that I do a lot more stumbling around than I should on my way to solving mos

I second the "War of Art" recommendation. It is one of the most important books I've read in a long time as a far as impact on my life; really kicked my ass and got me into gear.

The author says he turned to Coursera, but doesn't mention the course(s) he took, but I'm going to guess it's the the 'Compilers' class from Stanford[0]. I've heard good things about the course and the lecture

I just discovered this about a week ago, and am only a few videos into it (Day 006), but it's been great so far. Like a some people have pointed out, Casey has some strong opinions about things that I don't completely agree with,

I think the press release may be incorrect. The "Tech Specs" tab on the product page[1] says the diagonal for the 24 is 23.8 inches. [1] http://dcse.dell.com/us/en/gen/peripherals/dell-up2414q&
