I've said this a couple times before, but my hope is that it's worth repeating here. For a device to eschew the PC it must support direct development. Web development is great and remote compilation is straight magic; I'm not

Would you being willing to elaborate on what makes it special to you? I'd love to know more! Years ago I worked at Ames on the ACES system (minor but fixes and a Greenfield projects involving data/flight path visualization), but I

This doesn’t contribute anything to the conversation, even in the slightest, but thanks for making me smile!

That's a brilliant idea. I didn't realize that existed, but it seems so obvious after you said it.

Could a usb floppy drive work? Oldows support for something like that might be dicey. I wonder why one would just not run 32bit(better compat) windows server 2003. A bit of setup for desktop use for sure. That said, if you are going down th

Single threaded geekbench is hardly a valid benchmark for mobile. Also the 855+ has better 3D results at times. None of this is here to imply the A1x chips aren’t crushing their android counterparts at single threaded performance. They are

I do. I could go on about how I decide what is and is not moral, but that’s all my personal brand of compromised hogwash. The really important part is that every interview has me honestly asking the interviewer about employee trust and reve

If you squint, I could buy that as a way of describing the execution of policy (a state machine could, for example, oversee wealth redistribution payments) but not as a description of policy making entities.

They do, Turkey took in a share of Syrian refugees and really that can't be underplayed. But to answer your question, Erdogan not the coolest dude ever. Plus Turkey doesn't have the greatest history of human rights especially if y

Person 1: “He did a great job on the presentation...” Person 2: “Thanks, that means a lot. Also, I actually prefer ’she’, but you can also use ‘they‘ if that makes you more comfortable.” Person 1: “But you are clearly a man.” Person 2: “...

I feel like I straddle the line, I am a bit shorter than the average height for a male worldwide, but a couple inches shorter than the average American (and Americans do seem to love rubbing it in). When I was younger I was really bothered

A tangentially related question I've wonder for a while is: What type of improvements can be made to L3/"L4"(I'm unsure if that is what intel calls crystalwell and its derivatives) to improve the latency such that a

I'm sure one could place those first two sentences at the start of any defense of a stereotype. I remember when i started freelancing 10 years ago, people would say things like "oh, you don't look like a developer. i mean

That's not true, it some BS cultural narrative with a couple data points that allows people to other that which they fear to be a part of. It's the tech equivalent to artist are tortured geniuses. More importantly, I would much ra

Same for the member-wise defaults! Especially in concert with optionals. I hate having callers explicitly pass in nil, but I'm also not fond of provided a convince initializer, as it is one more thing to change when you add a new membe

That tech sheen is really starting wear off and we are grappling with just how beholden/vulnerable we are. As a society and as individual tech worker we are living with these massive cooperations that pretend they have everyone's

Good catch! I will adjust my original message with an edit. That is straight up anti-competitive. Egg on my face for giving apple the benefit of the doubt.

EDIT: Per Betelgeuse90 comment below, my characterization of the situation was incorrect. Apple's behavior is anti-competitive. I am leaving my original comment here for posterity. Original comment: I love jumping on the apple hate tra

He also used a compiler, but real programmers never do that. Maybe he used an IDE like Visual Studio that does a lot of real-time checking to make sure the code is correct before the compiler runs. Don't even get me start on the fact t

Sometimes I get all tin-foil and think the machinery of society is just out to make as many people feel bad about themselves as possible. All throughout my teens and even twenties, I would regularly have people poking fun at how thick my ha

I get this is tongue in cheek, but I really wish this was a little more focused. Something more along the lines: (1) Language x claims these as its design principles/goals: P1, G1, P2... (2) These y things subvert those aspirations. (3

I do a fair bit of the interviewing for my office and if I hear the phrase 10x engineer coming out of an applicants mouth, its an insta-rejection(unless they are joking obviously). I know it sounds harsh, but I translate self-described 10x

Only if it doesn't scale. 100K a month for 2.5million in goods sounds like real money to me.
