   Eh, having children is kind of your literal biologic imperative. Pushing my blood on for another generation, having some sort of legacy and living on in people's memories postmortem are all things I value. Any random company that would

   Monetizing your hobby is a scam sold to us as children. Take a sabbatical and do open-source if you have the financial freedom to do so.

    I bought a used copy of the old dragon compiler book (written by Aho from Bell Labs and some others). Would like to take a crack at a C compiler.

    This is a very very common control scheme in the embedded world. I'm surprised this is so new to so many.

    Find the source outline for an undergraduate physics program at a university you like. Find equivalent offerings of those courses for free (YouTube, etc). Watch a couple lectures per day, taking notes, doing the homeworks. 4-5 years later,

    I constantly think about taking a 6 month sabbatical and writing a game engine or hobbyist OS for fun, but it seems unrealistic financially.

    SMBus (which is close enough to call I2C) is also a major pain in the ass for Linux integration. If a master goes out of sync with a slave, or a poorly programmer slave tries to multi-master the bus or something, your kernel will hang and c

    I'll keep somewhat up to speed with professors that were impactful to me during undergrad, and offer to take them out for a coffee if I'm in their city. It always surprises me how little effort you need to exert to stay on someone

    Huh - my old RTOS professor from undergrad contributed a lot to Xinu and used to shill it to us in class. Didn't think I'd ever see it again.

    Yeah, let me just multithread and hand-optimize the piss out of this Go program until it's marginally faster than it would have been in C. Reminds me of the argument that venison tastes better than beef. The argument roughly being, &qu

    Hard disagree on the C++03 -> C++17 bit. They're like two completely different languages.
