I tried diesel about 5 years ago. I needed to do relationships where the foreign key lived on the other side of the relationship from what diesel wanted. IIRC diesel only supported the key on a specific side, I think it was a M:1 relationsh

Backslash escape codes are a convention. They're so pervasive that we sometimes forget this. It could just as easily be some other character that is special and treated as an escape token.

I'm not surprised. If you do this again, maybe put a disclaimer at the top. Simply mentioning emacs will likely get you points with many. Sometimes you just have to take it on the chin and move on. I noped out of intelligence test when

We use the LC exercises to screen people who can't program. They are on par with day 10 to 15 of advent of code exercises. An experienced, _practiced_ programmer should have no trouble with them. I manage a devops team. We do ever thin

Edit: perhaps I got this wrong. Maybe they meant staff engineer as in very senior IC who does not manage? If this is the case your role is to be strategic. You might write production code, you might design architecture. Whatever your curren

It reads like he is assuming that missing messages from the mouse is not allowable. I would say think of it this way: what happens when the mouse moves between USB hid messages? If the mouse moves between messages sent via USB HID do the la

The article hit on some great high points of difference. But I feel like it misses Cutler and team's history with OpenVMS and MICA. The hallmarks of their design are all over NT. With that context it reads less like NT was avoiding UNI

I never understood why people believed this BS. The process of administering an exam requires direct interpretation from another human. They are just as fallible as I.

The level of noise went up dramatically after the first year. I read that this is part of the panel aging. It hasn't gotten worse since then. My two biggest gripes are high brightness areas don't work on large portions of the scre

I have the second to last generation Panasonic plasmas. 42" 1080p display. At first the picture was amazing but over time it degraded slightly with what looks like subtle noise affecting the entire display. Solid colors have a faint sh

Look up the YouTube series work from AngeTheGreat. He is building a realistic physics based parametric audio simulation of car exhaust. Perhaps more entertainment than education but he is a great place to start.

Standardizing on an established shared standard was never motivating for Microsoft. Early they profited by ensuring backwards compatibility for ridiculous periods of time. That was their pitch to customers. Buy your software and it will lik

I meant that logistically you'd not be able to do it. Sure you can still trade of course. but you might need things like preauthorization for every trade, and have to hold them for a given time before selling, which kinda makes algorit

The SEC rules if you're in the US are quite strict. You likely wouldn't be able to do quantitative trading own your own while working at a quant. Though, it might help you get hired as a modeler.

In the part about the Mac Portable it says "if you're feeling financial". Is this a typo or do you think this might have been written in part by an LLM? This usage seems... wrong.

You totally can and should. Being honest about not getting to something is better than covering it up. So long as its not a regular occurrence then it should be okay. And its even easier if you set expectations up front. "Hey im going

I tend to treat code more like poetry or music. Its a shorthand for instructions telling the computer what to do. Depending on the language, naming, structure, and comments the original thesis may be lost or hard do understand. And in isola

The "tetris effect" is why I had to stop playing Lumines on the PSP. My sleep was dominated by dreams of that infernal game. Incidentally though I'm wicked good at it.
