   The writing is very clear and the concepts are explained well. Not too much information and not too little. Excellent post.

   I wonder whether it’s possible to save data to SQLite for the transactional storage, and then automatically save to text files for interoperability.

   I agree with you mostly. In some cases the performance might not be desirable to deliver the events. One minor nitpick, pollable endpoints on /proc means that a program can run select() or epoll() on the file descriptor. Those can b

   Linux exposes system information like processes and devices in the psuedo file system hosted at the mount point /proc. Any user mode programs can use the standard file IO API to access them. Some of the "files" like /p

   What does volume mean in higher dimensions? 2-D has no volume. 3D has a volume. What's volume in 4D and higher? Edit: Just to further the thought. Do all dimensions have the same unit length? In 3D, the spacial x,y,z dimensions hav

   It’s Wi-Fi 6. I didn’t get it right at the beginning of the release cycle.

    I used to have the same model of ASUS router for several years. It lost internet connections quite often. Had to reboot to get it back. Also the performance felt sluggish. When WiFi 6 comes along, I just replace it with a router from an

    At staff and principle level, the job becomes mentoring and working with other senior people under you. There might be a business need/problem, and you have the vision to address it. You gather the requirements, do feasibility studie

    To be blunt, the code you copied out as example is crap. I don't know what you expect how it's being interpreted. It says more about the programmer than the language. > functions returning closures with mutable captures That

    Yes, it would panic. Typically you handle the Result rather than unwrap directly.

    I'm sorry but that doesn't look normal. Code smells with all those clone()'s and unwrap(). It allocates a new Writer and then clones it?! "let &mut writer=" isn't right. The new'ed Writer is a struc

    This year TurboTax apparently made a mistake. The tax calculation showed I owed tax and I submitted payment for the reported amount. IRS sent me back a check later for overpayment based on the reported tax filling by TurboTax. They didn&

    Maybe an online group like a Discord or irc for like minded people to hang out? Talking with people with similar level of experience and knowledge definitely is amazing. I used to spend time with a few ex-colleagues from time to time. We ha

    Not sure it's still considered new as it has come out for couple years, adaptive radix tree and its variants are pretty promising.

    Davinci Resolve just treats photos as another source media. When added to a timeline, the photo got repeated as a still image throughout the timeline. You can apply color and filter transformation to the timeline as usual. Export a frame

    I use the free version of Davinci Resolve to edit videos for a few occasions. It's amazingly good. Easy to learn and easy to use. Quite impressive with the feature sets.

    There're generic versions of the drug coming to market. Amjevita from Amgen is bio-similar to Humira and just got FDA approved. It costs about half at retail. As more generic versions of the anti-TNF biological drugs coming online,

    It's a fast paced multi-player space battle game with a top down graphic 2D view. It's like Command and Conquer, with each unit controlled by a different player. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQkDhwo7qNQ

    The one program truly blew my mind at the time was Netrek - the first networked multi-player realtime graphical space fighting game. I've wasted so much time late into the nights playing the game in the lab instead of doing coursework

    There's the talk command on Unix. We used to do a 'who' to find out who're on the system and 'talk' to them.
