The trick is that ESP* chips implement a lot of the stack in firmware. This saves a lot of IP in dedicated hardware that allows for price reduction, but has it’s drawbacks, mostly in terms of energy consumption. There’s also a good amount o

When presented with this kind of “simple advice”, I always like to think the counter examples. Quantity is great, unless you are trying to change a paradigm. Iterative learning gets you trapped in local minima, so be sure to aim for quality

I’ve always seen this debate as kind of moot. The thing with optimizing, is that you always optimize with a target . Large corporations rule top-down because goals are set at the top. That’s very different from a society problem.

Not necessarily, you might trust the intangibles that are part of the company, like how do they do business or what kind of internal policies they have in place. Think how (knowledgeable) people “trust in science”, they don’t trust the huma

If you’ve seen how athletes are raised up nowadays, you’ll see why people say that. There’s an assortment of performance enhancers that are legal in most competitions, and are extensively use by amateurs (think gels in running for example).

To me the interesting part is not having to do precise mouse movements. With vim bindings it’s easier to do things like rewriting arguments in a function, without having to carefully select them with a cursor or using ctrl+shift+Right arrow

As a european, to me it’s amazing the amount of disinformation we’ve been fed about how the US works. Spend enough time in both continents and you’ll see that the proposition that the US is somehow more corrupt is not only disingenuous, it’

Except it simply doesn’t work. Companies don’t pay taxes, people pay taxes. Companies may be the ones signing the checks to IRS, but they’re not the ones footing the bill. The only difference is that for big companies it’s worth their while

Is it sad though? I mean, in the end this is the obvious consequence of an increase in the supply of devs. If anything gives me hope is a world with more devs!

A lot of people in the embedded world still use A,B,C,.. for versioning. Add to it the dangers of names being taken directly from de clients, and enjoy the fun. Having clients name something “machine v2” was a nightmare. On the plus side, i

1st rule of negotiation, avoid round numbers. There’s a big psychological difference between asking for 50.000$ and 52.178$ and 23cts. The second looks more believable because it looks like something you got from “running the numbers”, even

I was a iTerm fan, but nowadays it runs super slow on my MBP. Granted it’s old-ish but 2015 is not so long ago. Alacritty is way faster in my experience.

They still do, but they are more forgiving in some sense (they fingerprint more info, not just your motherboard so they can detect “small” changes). I’m still regularly hit with “Activate your account” when I run my windows partition from p

In the US. Maybe. Here in Barcelona, Msc in ER, 10y experience, I’m considered lucky by a lot of my collegues for getting at 50k. Friends of mine with 3 to 4 years in SaaS are making 60-70k in fintech with way better work conditions. Nothin
