How is the job market for MFC/ATL? Mostly maintenance/legacy work? My first "hello world" Windows app was built with MFC, and although I hate it, my heart has a soft spot for it because of that.

I flew on the second floor of a 747. It felt posh for some reason. Also the flight was super smooth. I suppose its weight and sheer size helps with that.

Jobs that require creativity should allow for free time, to let inspiration come to you rather than try to summon it. I think programming is one of those jobs. And if you are always coding, always against a schedule, it's easy to burn

Loved reading this. About the triangle/cube screenshot, they were taken on Linux on a physical Mac OS computer? How were you able to deploy your driver, does the M1 GPU have a basic text/console mode allowing you to start and work

Why use a WASM VM when there are more mature VMs out there like .net/CLR? What's the benefit?

Celsius argued that depositors were actually lenders. I wonder if FTX will try the same angle. It's gonna be harder to justify because while Celsius was all about yield, FTX was a traditional exchange doing custody on behalf of its cli

In some states like NY, the money you make from writing/talking about your crimes go to the victims of your crime. That's why Inventing Anna (Netflix series inspired by true events) didn't make any money for the real (but not

Satoshi picked that model probably because it's easy to divide by 2 (x >> 2). He didn't want to prematurely optimize or overthink anything because it was a simple experiment and nobody could have predicted that Bitcoin will

He meant terminating the deal obviously. It's the idea that the president pre announces sabotage operations that's ridiculous.

I didn't understand the part where the program can have secrets (closed source), non-deterministic (e.g. invokes random) or async (pulls data outside the blockchain). If the program is closed source, you can't trust it, so you can

Diversity is incompatible with meritocracy. RAF is gonna pay the price for letting the politics du jour impact their performance based criterias.

In theory it's possible to build such system. But dogfights are gonna be extremely rare in the future. The US Air Force believes more in stealth and beyond visual range (BVR) engagements. And so far, given the lead they have in those a

That's super interesting. Does it use some special CPU feature? The CPU usually let code running in kernel context do whatever it wants.

I get the joke but it's worth pointing out C# is actually memory safe and more flexible than Rust in that regard (with the downside of less control on GC).

I prefer Angular. I never could accept writing css/html in my javascript. To be fair, my background is from XAML, so declaring the state separately and simply binding to it in my html template felt natural. The whole functional approac

Exactly, diversity (as practiced in the US) and meritocracy are incompatible.

It's not a real job because nobody will pay you for that because nobody gets value from that. You get paid by people = you provide value in the economic sense (do not always align with the moral or ethical sense, which might be the sou

I am sure the plane can fly again on most cases, they just don't want the liability and they want to put "pressure" on the pilots to only deploy it when necessary. A Cirrus pilot that loses an engine at a safe altitude will n

The role of the Monarch is not easy to qualify. She is a symbol of continuation, stability and unity. Her neutrality makes her look like she is doing exactly nothing, when it's the source of her power and influence. She lives above pol

I meant the end viewer will not notice it was a picture of a picture of a mountain but will rather think it's a picture of a mountain. Perhaps thinking it's an original work. Under perfect conditions, it's very hard to tell t
