Did they mention how much this board will cost when it's released? The BeagleBone guys have a board based on the Micro-Semi / Micro-Chip PolarFire FPGA+U54x4 hard core for about $150, so I wouldn't think this one was too muc

I like the first title where you were looking for a software engineer with sanity deficit disorder. But I suspect the current one is better to find a decent partner.

I stopped flying United when they couldn't reliably carry me to/from destinations I frequented. But I certainly understand there /are/ people who do find United useful. And I salute United's courageous strategy of

I own stock in several companies. I would not want him anywhere near them. I have this weird desire to see them increase in value.

I'm happy to see someone still doing some work in second life.

I wanted a dumbphone so I could avoid the crapware in android. But then I saw the Punkt MP01 with it's 4G hotspot and lust filled my heart. So then I had a smartphone with android crapware and a very bad UI. It did keep me from doom

BATCH, message facility, zero-headache clustering would be on my list. That stuff just works.

Is it time for an open source equivalent of VMS? Something that runs a rewrite of DCL and can compile and run C, Bliss and COBOL programs that make various LIB$ references?

Which is why it's weird the CCP is offering no regulatory love to a CPU developed and fabbed in mainland China.

I was sort of expecting at least one RISC V CPU to be on the list, but I guess we're still several years out from competing w/ Intel or ARM designs. And there's significant investment in MIPS toolchains, so maybe RV64 isn&#x

And the music! I'm not a super Joan Baez fan, but I loved the two songs she did for the movie. And Schickele's score is awesome.

Rust isn't completely safe, it's just a lot safer than C. And it's unsuited for many roles because it has eschewed reverse compatibility. Sure, you can write an operating system in Rust, but you'll have to re-write it (

This whole post sounds scammy. There's no way to "call" PayPal. If the author would have said "spent two hours in a fruitless attempt to find a phone number on PayPal's web site," then I might have believed t

Also, in the 90s we talked about tests as another indication of programmer intent. Since we couldn't get developers to document their code and "design as a practice" fell out of favor, tests were the only thing left indicati

I think we should nationalized Boeing, fix it and re-ipo it. Not because I think government can do better at operating at a profit, but because it would be a sick burn: your company was so poorly managed, it had to be taken over by the fed

Apropos the discussion of the warning lights, it sounds like there may be some human factors engineering issues as well. https://youtu.be/5FcyvFfHsjQ It would be nice to get the black box data, but Alaska mishandled the box

I don't think the wing fell off the plane and there are several types of failures which are distressing short of the wing falling off.

"I would recommend that we put the unit back in operation and let it fail. It should then be a simple matter to track down the cause."

Sure, but grounding planes doesn't buy Alaska's (or Boeing's) CEO a new yacht. I suspect they will spend the minimum amount of time necessary, modulo whatever amount of time the IR and PR people think makes it appear they&

The first thing I did when I encountered js in the 90s was write map and reduce. After leaving Mozilla I published a npm package with my hacks. I was very happy to find someone else had done a much better job at it and was actually mainta

There's a community that has experience doing analysis, design and coding with functional composition as an abnstraction. It's useful to reference that community so the viewer can get more information and more examples on applyin

People keep rediscovering and rensnming lisp features. I do think he's talking more about composition as a design concept, which is good for people who have only heard shout OO their entire career. But yeah, it was weird hearing abo
