It's complicated. If you despecialize at the "star musician and corporate schmoozer" skills and become more of an independent brand manager/marketer where the music is just one element of the business plan, you have many

That only makes the dynamic even more exaggerated when you travel from a reasonably clean, streetcar-suburb neighborhood like West Portal or the Outer Richmond to the city core and are abruptly surrounded by a mass of bodies failed by socie

Code generation is, in essence, the ultimate static construct since it allows you to compile any feature you would achieve through late binding and reflection, but with a static code path. Which in turn lets you leverage the compiler toolch

If you look around, you can find AM4 platform in prebuilts from some of the biggest PC OEMs. Intel is still the majority of the lineup, of course, but APU systems have given AMD leverage here that they didn't have the last time they ha

I invested in a Rumpl blanket and eventually took to putting that on the carpet, a smaller blanket to support the head, and one top cover. The Rumpl is designed to be of a similar quality to a sleeping bag but easier to spread and wash. It&

Digital tends to have more latency by its nature. Parameter changes often produce zipper artifacts, stepping, etc. It's all solvable, but not uniformly solved.

Intel has a lot of threats lately. Things seem to be moving towards a small die and MCM strategy to get better yields and move investment towards the package and FSB. AMD made a huge investment in that direction with Zen arch and Infinity F

Integrated language+database solutions are a recurring motivator for new one-off languages: Pick System and FoxPro are classic examples of writing around a custom language vs "scripting" inside SQL. Applications with custom databa

The article deals with a lot of stuff apart from the clinical aspects of diagnosis and treatment. For example, it outlines someone who lost social connections as he grew older, a major causal factor in depression.

Basically, C's semantics assume too little - everything is a primitive type or a pointer dressed up to look like something else. Pascal has a stronger notion of types and this allows for additional automatic optimization where they&#x2

IIRC games made pretty good use of MPU-401 intelligent mode to drive the MT-32 module. The first really elaborate game scoring work on the IBM platform came through the MT-32(Sierra picked it up and everyone else followed - it was a good ta

The US is usually broadly categorized as "strong mayor" (very consolidated power) and "weak mayor" (board of supervisors form a coalition) depending on the municipality. Where this distinction gets muddled is when a met

The saying goes, "history never repeats itself but it often rhymes". If there's a threat on the horizon, it's probably the one we discuss the least right now.

The right way is, to speak in philosophical terms, totally a pragmatic choice. If nothing in C++ is working for you, don't use it. If a really obscure technology is making you go really fast, use it. The one and only thing that muddies

I recognize a lot of myself from a few years ago in that (and I'm 32) and the main things that changed me in no particular order were: * Adopting a more deliberately Stoicism-inspired philosophy - whether or not I'm succeeding at

I have the corresponding regret of wishing I got in six years ago instead of four years ago. Not that I'm doing bad now, by any means. It's just a relative success kind of thing.

A certain irony about knowing all the tricks and using Python is that you invariably encounter people online who say "well Python was too slow so I dropped it" when the problem they encountered is covered either by one of Python&#

Programming more skillfully is primarily about making decisions on which feedback loops you pay attention to, and not getting stuck on ideas about feedback that seem momentarily fashionable or convenient, but lead to bad outcomes later. Wri

I try to not stay in flow state. It means that the problem I'm working on is too familiar and I should automate the programming of it so that I'm grinding on something hard again. Edit: but it's okay if it's a prototype

I got used to the idea of staying away from the cutting edge in the early 2000's. The original Athlon and Thunderbird processors were groundbreaking in performance, but consumer cooling and PSU design had not caught up with their power
