If you consider the patterns in nature to be art (which I do!), you might enjoy the book "The Computational Beauty of Nature" by Gary William Flake. [0] The subtitle is "Computer E…

Andrej Karpathy made an interesting comment on the same paper: https://x.com/karpathy/status/1980397031542989305

This story reminded me of the "BeBox" [0] PowerPC computer from the 1990's, which had Blinkenlights on its front bezel. (It ran the very cool "BeOS" operating system[1], which was …

As a C programmer, declarations in Go appeared "backwards" to me when I first saw them. IMO the Go syntax is a vast improvement as it's much simpler and avoids the clockwise/spiral…

Yes, this is indeed a different situation and my comment doesn't make that clear. Thank for pointing that out. I've made an edit.

> America/Nuuk does daylight savings at -01:00 (yes, with a negative) Somewhat related: Europe/Dublin has a negative DST offset. Irish DST runs through the European winter (i.e. th…

The music at many concerts and nightclubs is unfortunately loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss. Ear plugs reduce the volume to a level where you can still hear the music, b…

But not over a cable. Submarine cables are clearly marked on nautical charts, and even recreational boaters know not to anchor in those areas. A professional trawler captain is not…

Fees such as trading costs are a percentage of trading volume. Therefore, the more money you are managing, the higher your trading costs. (i.e those costs are "fixed" but its a "fi…

An explanation of what GNUstep is (and what it is not): https://gnustep.github.io/information/aboutGNUstep.html

Really interesting read. Especially the suggestion for how to support iterators. It should be noted that the writeup is a year old, which (understandably) means that the comments o…

Agreed. Anything that simplifies the build process and leads to less custom tooling is very welcome.

If there are projects where you don't want to reveal this info in the binary, you can turn the feature off with: -buildinfo=false

In case any readers were wondering, Blender LTS Release 2.93 has native support for Apple Silicon.

I haven't read The Embedded Entrepreneur yet, but I can recommend "Zero to Sold" by Arvid. (Zero to Sold isn't specifically "audience first", but TEE is). FWIW, apart from his book…
