Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware And Software by Charles Petzold. I read it in my second year of studying computer-science during the summer break, and it completely changed how I view computing. First of all, the contents alo

I was also wondering what they meant, tbh, but I have never been to DefCon, so I don't know. One ex-colleague from my previous employer was there, though, and he absolutely loved it.

This year will be the first time I go to Interfug. I found it while browsing the CCC event calendar 2 weeks ago. I have no idea what to expect, especially because the program preview currently up only lists a few talks (but it clearly says

Thank you very much for the effort you put into your advice!! I think I will start with WebGPU (wgpu), even though I have an Apple Silicon Macbook. I would really prefer to work with Rust instead of C++ because I am not good with C++. (I be

I recently started noticing myself using the term "candidly" instead of "honestly" a lot more. The only term I doubt I will ever use is "churn". I still don't understand why Claude likes to plug that term

But Ubuntu sticks to the year and month the OS was released. I think OP was complaining about MacOS using year+1 as the version, even though the OS is being released in the current year. I personally find Ubuntu's versioning to be the

That's a really cool idea!! I was actually wondering: are we allowed to publish our work on GitHub? I already have a Github repo but I made it private and only show it to potential employers and individual people who are interested, be

My family are Orthodox Christians from Jordan, where the (minority) Christian culture is very orthodox, even though there is a large number of Catholics. It was very fascinating for me to see the huge difference between Catholics in Germany

I am still somewhat new to networking concepts (currently reading Computer Networking: A Top Down Approach by Kurose & Ross), and as far as I understood, most IPv6 networks don't have a NAT, or did I misunderstand? If that is the c

I had the exact same problem because I had a strong addiction to smartphone apps. I looked into the Light Phone and The Mudita Kompakt, but I ended up buying a refurbished Pixel 8 and putting Graphene OS on it, then I installed only essenti
