One minor piece of insight from me is about release management vs pull-requests. As you say it's much easier to schedule a 30 minute meeting, then we can - with context - resolve any immediate nitpicks you have, but we can also structu

This is a big problem with reviews where the author is capitulating because they, with gritted teeth, acknowledge it's the only way to get the desired result (jumping over a hurdle). So you blindly accept an ill-informed suggestion bec

Weirdly if you do break everything down into purely functional components it's entirely possible to uncompromisingly make every concept a few lines of code at most, and you will end up with some extremely elegant solutions this way. Yo

Solving creative problems is often iterative, and one things I'm very concerned about when doing engineering management is maintaining momentum and flow. Looking at latency hierarchies is a really good example, you have registers, then

I do object to the notion of something being a planning issue when you're talking about a days worth of work. Implement X, needs Y and Z, ok that was straightforward, also discovered U and V on the way and sorted that out, here's

This is the bane of my existence at the moment after ~20 years into my career, and it frustrates me when I run into these situations when trying to get certain people to review pull requests (because I'm being kind, and adhering to a p

One of the unfortunate realities is that sometimes you need to be exposed to how grim reality can be as the alternative is living in a delusional bubble. However, one of the underlying points I was getting to is that often what is considere

That isn't a challenge/response flow, that's the app on your device asserting something in isolation.

The door guard needs to validate your face matches your ID. In you example you provide the door guard with proof that you are in real-time communication with a real ID, not that it's yours. A challenge response would be the door guard

While it's commendable that you're trying to extend BitVM to handle RISC-V... Why though? The dispute resolution game is eminently trollable and can be made very expensive by an adversary. Then you try to make it N-party, which re

I for one use uint32 where it makes sense, because it's a good trade-off with packed struct size and besides - by the year 2106 arrives I will (hopefully) be dead and it won't be my problem anymore. I wonder if the decision behind

Yup it's an arbitrary metric, but I tried cajoling various image models into generating spork pictures with highly detailed descriptions (I have ComfyUI & AUTOMATIC1111 locally, and many models), which lead to me creating the site.

With little over 4 billion IPv4 addresses. From a stackoverflow post from 12 years ago: > I know I do 622 million SHA-256's per sec on a Radeon HD5830. Which would take around 6 seconds to brute force a 32bit address space.

The early adopters are usually transpilers (or code generators) which can quickly take advantage of new features without the effort of rewriting an entire codebase. In the same way that Rust used underlying `const` attributes in LLVM (and f

Nobody else is admiring typed enumerations? Particularly when using structs this removes a lot of ambiguity if you ignore the indirection to find out the underlying type of the enum (or encode it in the name hungarian style). enum D :

I don't see how committed spend discounts are different from contractual B2B pricing in every other industry. I can also see why egress bandwidth can be expensive for e.g. server farms, the contention ratio is (usually) significantly h

14 inch laptops are the sweet spot for me, easily fit in a backpack with a protective travel case and support larger memory & more performant CPUs. e.g. ThinkPad T14 Gen 3 AMD, Ryzen 7 pro 6850U, 32 gb LPDDR5-6400MHz for around 1000 EUR
