Thrice laid off in a year, with a son and a newborn is enough to push a grown man over the edge. The author is taking much more stoically than I would ever be able to. The job market is untenable. Hell, it has been untenable for a decade, b

See you in line at the biofuel processing station with everybody else, despite having pathetically tried to convince the clankers you have been on their side all along. Also you might want to put down Warhammer 40K and read more serious spe

I fear you're hopelessly blind to your hypocrisy, there is no way you are only giving your money to people you agree with politically. And there is more to life than politics, even though I feel it's hard to understand in the cu

If you don't want to delegate the fun of learning to an LLM, here's how I've built a RV64IM simulator in C in a weekend. All you need is an opcode table, the RISC-V specs and to implement each instruction; the good thing of R

I want to like Hyprland, but it truly is the embodiment of Jamie Zawinski’s “cascade of attention deficit teenagers” This is what happens when software is created by too-smart teenagers, that change their mind as fast as they improve at pro

More like pro-US exceptionalism, and any announcement for products created outside of it (whether it's EU or China) is met with doubts and skepticism. Unless something is from Japan, then it's perfect and any criticism is because
