It's largely corporate to my understanding. So similar to box seats at a baseball game, if you know somebody there's a decent chance you might get to go one day

I've contributed here and there over there years, even got something merged that broke Linus's printer driver. It really isn't unapproachable, frustrating, or demoralizing.

And there's the questions people usually don't think of. If you clock moves forward or backward, how would you like that the effect your sleep? If the system suspends during your sleep, do you want that to count towards the sleep?

ARM does have a few pain points for new comers related to how immediates are embedded within instructions. It can be non obvious why a certain immediate or offset can be used but not another. Granted, this extends across a wide range of ass

I love the 6809 and friends, but knowing 6502 just seems so much more relevant and easier to get real hardware as well.

As someone who works in software, companies in general are not great at selecting software talent. The idea that there is some movable bar by which applicants are selected is clearly silly.

If you look at the temperature deltas, we really don't do much to cool our food. You can verify this by comparing the power requirements of a fridge with just about anything that heats water or food. You could save some power, but not

Ya, there are real risks, COPVs, burning batteries, and the flight termination system explosives.

Somehow the author of the article discussed how liquid methane and liquid oxygen would be dangerous to touch.... Without mentioning that it would absolutely not be present

What I get from this article is that becoming a flight controller is a very rigorous selective process.

Not only that, if you're referencing an element in a very large structure or array, the base address may be zero, but the actual access may be several pages past that.

Apparently we just need to water the tumbleweeds and keep them green. I wish I were making this up.

The residual current rating in NZ is 30mA. The proposed standard here would be 5mA. This seems to be one of the primary things the author in the article is calling out, that for especially heavy draws, 5mA is too low a trip point.

I do this with a USB device that looks like a keyboard, but speaks CEC out the other end. TV turns on with the appropriate source selected, the keyboard sends a wake key.

Yes, I think the most common is a tail call. There also of course can be several ret's from a single function.

Unconditional jumps are very common and everything in x86 assembly is very very messy after optimizations. Many functions do not end in ret.

The south indian ocean is the re-entry site for the 2nd stage of their next starship flight test, which will (should) re-enter in one piece so the risk of falling debris is certainly not trivial and unfortunately the size of the hazard regi

That really seems to be mischaracterizing his work. The idea is that the quantum effects we see will eventually emerge. Most people in the field don't think his research will be fruitful, but that doesn't make him a crack pot
