I have a similar kafkaesque story from AWS. Some time back I closed my Amazon account without deleting my AWS services first. The result was that the services kept running and I kept being charged. When I talked to AWS they said I should lo

Instead of arguing who, when and why should Twitter ban someone, we should be trying to find a way to stop depending on Twitter, FB and Google for our voices to be heard. Banning Trump may seem like a good idea in vacuum, but it's a sl

It's becoming more and more difficult to keep away from Google eyes these days. Picasa, Waze, Nest, Fitbit where all companies whose products I used before the acquisition.

Hardkernel folks: Amazing product. Please consider having a warehouses in every continent. Or some resellers. $50+ for shipping on a $120 product is a bit too steep.

I had fun playing with the Lattice ICE40 Ultra Plus Breakout board. I wouldn't call it expensive (~$60) and it's pretty simple. The toolchain by Lattice however is not the best

The meat of it is: the functions (for copying data) used for syscall and mmap are very different, and not only in the name. __memmove_avx_unaligned_erms, called in the mmap experiment, is implemented using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) (

Slightly off-topic, but I don't have any other good forum to ask that. Once we are done with COVID, will the new vaccine methods enable us to develop vaccines for virus that we couldn't do before. E.g. maybe HIV?

Because on one hand the government thinks it's OK for people to die alone in ICU and bury them without their friends of family[1]. But on the other hand said that it's OK to meet people to celebrate Xmas with[2]. Sources: [1] http

Governmental sites should have everything self-hosted. No Google Analytics, no CDN, no nothing. Just like they shouldn't have presence in Private Social Media Networks. But that's my opinion.

Brexit is the best modern argument against Democracy. It's literally the beloved British saying of cutting off the nose to spite the face. Edit: I mean if someone was arguing against Democracy, this would be one of their best argumen

What’s the point being made here? That if you take a picture of a building from a specific angle it’s difficult to tell the function of the building?

Dreaming is practicing our survival skills in a safe environment. Nature's "VR", if you want. Reference: Why else am I running naked in the supermarket?

Not to mention that all the complaints about "putting strain on NHS" were started by Murdoch's Sun. From my experience: 1. I have a lot of friends from all over the world, that live in the UK. They have been there since their

I visit UK often because of family ties. The most frequent answer I get when I ask people why they voted to leave is that foreigners come over and take their jobs and put a strain on NHS, vaguely referencing the influx of Polish immigrants

The team leader/captain is a player not the coach. At least in “soccer”. Not sure about American Football.

Difference in experience and age are not really relevant as the skills required to be a good Manager have little overlap with the skills required to be a good engineer. You can be a terrible soccer player but end up being an awesome coach a

“Leading” is such a terrible word to describe the job of most software engineering managers(at least the ones I have met in my career). If it’s done correctly, in most cases it’s just firewall/interface between the rest of the company

Thank you. You demonstrate very well what the problem is with the Haskell community, and that in a topic about Haskell adoption. For a language to be adopted it must be beginner friendly. And by beginner friendly, I don't mean easy. It

I rage quit Haskell when I saw all the promises for application correctness fall like a house of cards by realizing I can write to a file after it has been closed when using lazyIO.

Just another data point. I've interviewed with TripleByte twice. Once very early on, and one a year or two back. I haven't received a single spam email from them all this time.
