TI-30Xa still sits on the corner of my desk along with a pen and small notepad. I use it 2-3 times a week. Still faster to reach for it than find the calculator app on my phone or PC for simple tasks.

Not strictly a mobile app, but I keep offline Kiwix snapshots of Wikivoyage and Wikipedia on my laptop. It mostly comes in handy on trains with intermittent wifi.

That was Intel Quark. It was too expensive for the “big microcontroller” use case and too power hungry for the “small Linux” use case. The marketing was confusing, I’m not sure Intel even knew what it was for, except to show investors they

Industrial microcontrollers and power electronics use older process nodes, mostly >=45nm. These customers aren’t competing for wafers from the same fabs as bleeding edge memory and TPUs. The world ran just fine on DDR3 for a long time.

Spanner depends on having a time source with bounded error to maintain consistency. Google accomplishes this by having GPS and atomic clocks in several datacenters. https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.go

I've been using Cloudfront Functions to do some of the filtering that a WAF would do. It's quite flexible, but you've gotta figure out your own rules.

I wonder if we'll start to see instance type shortages or price increases from EC2 and GCP if they can't get enough DRAM for latest gen servers.

Every time you see an ellipsis "..." you know that the designer put form over function. Hiding data from the user is never the right answer. They could use their fancy AI to generate shorter titles.

Which chips specifically are we talking about? Nexperia's products page looks like it's mostly basic semiconductors and standard logic ICs, all of which are available from several manufacturers. Sure, they might have to modify the

When I was at RIT (2006ish?) there was an elective History of Computing course that started with the abacus and worked up to mainframes and networking. I think the professor retired years ago, but the course notes are still online. https:&

No, I was trying to download from my home internet- Astound in Seattle. I run a local recursive resolver that was unlikely to have those subdomains cached.

I have a cron that writes daily backups to S3 buckets in both us-east-1 and eu-west-1. I was a bit surprised that both buckets were inaccessible during the outage. Now I have it writing to Backblaze B2 instead of eu-west-1. Hopefully that’s

If you wanted safe and predictable you could buy an IBM PC. Apple was trying to be something different.

IPMI is great and all, but I still prefer serial ports and remote PDUs. Never met a BMC I could trust.

I don't trust Oracle to not sue me whenever they feel like it. I refuse to work on any Java codebase as long as Oracle has anything to do with it.

How do they allocate headcount to different teams? How often is that rebalanced?

Claude does an okay job of translating from other languages into Ada. It works especially well if you write the specification (.ads) file and let it write the body (.adb) Ada’s strictness about types and a preference to allocate on the stac

The complexity you introduce trying to achieve 100% uptime will often undermine that goal. Most businesses can tolerate an hour or two of downtime or data loss occasionally. If you set this expectation early on, you can engineer a much simp

Looking at the build PDF, you'd need a pretty large printer to do a single piece like that. Would need to split it into a few panels and have some sort of joinery or fasteners to make it fit on most consumer printers.
