I hold a general license in the US. I started 2m and 70cm with a cheap Baofeng but eventually CW caught my interest and now I design and sell a semi-open-source Morse Code trainer …

The solution is integration tests. Unit test with dozens of mocks are the work of architecture astronauts.

You programmed SYMBOLIC integration on a TI-82 but couldn't do it by hand? Are you sure you are remembering that right? Symbol integration is non-trivial.

This is super cool but I was left feeling like it missed the most important part, benchmarks. I know it mentions "2 clock cycles", but what does the latency for this end up being w…

True, but impractical. You're essentially saying every employee should have a lawyer look over their employment contract every time they get a new job? They _SHOULD_, but is it rea…

You have probably one of the best landing pages I have seen in a long time for a new product. There's no BS, in 10 seconds I can understand what the idea is about. Well done!

There's some research indicating the opposite, that people intuitively think in logarithms. We perceive sound, light, and possibly even the passage of time logarithmicly[1] I don't…

This type of thing reminds me of when departments "investigate" themselves, and curiously, almost always find no wrong-doing. Feels like the brain might be a little biased when it …

It was kind of painful for me to read this. There are so many reasons someone might not deeply engage in a conversation, and it can feel hurtful, but it's usually not because they …

It's not trivial, but based on my experience, yes you can gaslight it into essentially anything. It's not trivial because OpenAI added some text to the prompt that tells it things …

If you already know how to program in a curly braces language then you can be productive in Go in a few weeks. The language is surprisingly minimal. Like everything, it has footgun…

Is this a service meant to arbitrage the fact that interviewing at big tech is free? Seems objectively worse than triplebyte in every posible respect. At-least with triplebyte ther…

Really interesting story, approximately how many lines of code were in that codebase? It's hard for me to imagine someone grokking a 10M+ line codebase without external help, but I…

Quoted search is provably broken for some queries, try a google search for "[::]" (with the double quotes), it has no results. Similarly, try a search for 'linux next hop "[::]"' (…

Hey, thanks for much for this comment. I've personally experienced this and looked myself for an example when I first read your comment, but I couldn't find one. Today I stumbled u…

I can find it all over, try googling "Please drink a verification can"

I think there is an innate human bias to weight negative experiences more strongly than positive ones. For example, I will forget a compliment a day later, but I will never forget …

Good point, not sure how I didn't see that, I'm a software engineer too.

Out of curiosity what jobs need a good CPU but also can't take advantage of a good GPU? It seems like most of the high performance numerical computing software today is GPU-acceler…

Preventing ISPs and other bad actors from using it to deliver ads/malware?

They and their salespeople manage to get their meaty claws in the door at most large organizations.

Yeah if your low traffic site doesn't need any crazy compute you can probably run it for $5/mo on any commodity VPS provider like Linode or DigitialOcean

Some malware will store the executable and all configuration encrypted on the disk and will only decrypt in memory with a key downloaded from the internet. Ofcourse you can still d…

Most user-space code is not difficult to port. An operating system is much more work. Take a look at https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/arch/arm64

I think it's pretty normal and not even a problem to not understand everything your first go-around with some new tech. I really wouldn't expect anybody to actually understand the …
