Surely that can't be true either or we'd be spending all our time saving people. No the truth is more grim, we will save people until it costs more than we are willing to spend. Over time that threshold has increased with our weal

You would be incentivizing them to not look very hard as finding a bug would ground the fleet and be extremely expensive. The same way a lawyer will tell you never to see if your violating a patent lest you pay treble damages for "know

Are they not citizens? Surely a person has a duty above personal wealth. Past generations certainly thought that way.

They are not the only ones using this dark pattern, and it does get escalated to more expensive employees even at Comcast.

I don't think the public is quite ready for just how much developers get paid. I doubt many would believe it.

The BIOS was originally supposed to be a nice hardware abstraction layer to be used everywhere - akin to system calls now. If the BIOS was rudimentary it was only because of the limits of the machine - not the intent of the designer.

There are people that respond better to (constructive) criticism than praise. To me praise has zero meaning and I can't really do anything with it. A good criticism however gives me information on how to improve.

When Google introduced the whole "ads based on your emails" they made a distinction between a human and an algorithm reading your emails. People were more OK with an algorithm because its not like the algorithm would make fun of

You can usually skip the discussion meeting if you do the 1:1s, and your design/plan will be much better as the discussion can be deeper in 1:1s. I've been a in a huge number of design reviews where a massive flaw is pointed out

If you are just an employee and your company hasn't employed this you can do it on your own. Simply build a consensus by meeting people 1:1 before the meeting. When you do this you are no longer as dependent on your in-meeting perfor

Agreed, but calling the blue black indicates a seriously misconfigured monitor.

Its a dark blue. I think your color balance may be way off. With a more accurate color balance its readable.

Processors exist to run code quickly. Slow ones don't sell very well, so we'd see stack oriented opcodes regardless of C's existence. You would also still use functions like lea, and indexed moves in any language with the c

X86 does have array bounds checking now with MPX. Further everything you've mentioned is useful to all languages including the stack. Can you give an example of a negative trade off made for C?

Tone does convey valuable information though. SemiAccurate has been what can best be described as "anti INTEL" for a very long time. And while they've been right a lot about 10nm, it has also lead them astray in the past.

As the court becomes increasingly politicized this line of thinking becomes less of an explanation. 5-4 decisions along party lines do not inspire confidence in the court as an independent branch merely interpreting the law. Further the fac

> It's no accident the world was told to be round in the 1500s I'm actually confused about two things: First are you implying the world is flat or some other theory? Secondly, Why does a round earth imply we are insignificant.

Money is societies way of telling people what they want. A person need not serve society, and society need not always be rational. However just with personal transactions if you want something you have to give something in return. A perso

The claim you could have caught Enron had you knew where to look in their financial statements was never backed up. Given the length of the article it would have been nice if they had quoted concrete facts instead of vaguely alluding to ev

Piracy was mainstream in the early 90s/2000s. It was only when iTunes came out and the RIAA lawsuits successfully killed the p2p clients that it tamed back down.

I'm trying really hard to communicate that you can use these parts pretty easily. Just get a stencil made with your PCB it's another $40. Add in a toaster oven, some solder paste and tweezers and your all set. Once you see how e

The tweezers are for the 0802 passives and nudging the FPGA itself. It takes forever but then so does programming the pick and place for a one-off. As for the reflow you can actually get more consistent results with the toaster oven - It

Doxygen should never be your sole source of documentation although a lot of projects use it that way. It does not communicate the design philosophy behind the code, so while it will answer whether you can use an API a certain way it does

I've noticed it a lot going to trade shows that the North American market has turned so much to the high end that most people assume you need all this fancy gear to make anything. Its really stifling innovation in my opinion. Peopl
