The other thing I would encourage folks here to do is self-advocate. We may deride the bloviations of the folks who are "all talk and no code" and how they seemingly ride the coatt…

I frankly don't know how I'd collect any useful info without it. I'm sure there are bookmark services that also allow notes, but the tagging, linking related things, etc, all in th…

At the byte level, it's quite possible the layouts are the same. However, an "intrusive data structure" means that the nodes themselves are the data. In other words, intrusive is l…

Funny how they're bad at this from start to end. Most of these comments talk about the "end" part, but don't forget: Google has a notoriously laggy hiring process with extreme dela…

At least in C++ land, that is not quite what is referred to as intrusive lists. It's basically the opposite / inside-out of what you wrote: ```C++ struct MyType : Node { Node next,…

Mothy Roscoe, the Barrelfish PI, gave a really great talk at ATC 2021 [0]. A lot of OS research is basically "here's a clever way we bypassed Linux to touch hardware directly", but…

This is indeed interesting, but FYI this is a BSL-covered project with somewhat onerous times: only one instance per service (i.e. don't scale out, if I understand correctly) [0]. …

Still can't seem to do RAG or otherwise answer questions about a specific URL. Seems kinda useless compared to even copilot or Gemini 2.5 unless I'm missing something. I asked it t…

Thanks, this is interesting. I have done a lot of this sorta stuff (glob expanding giant directories) without a thought for this `ARG_MAX` libc parameter, but now I know I need to …

On my system, `getconf ARG_MAX` is over 2m. I have seen some heinously long cmdline strings, but nothing close to that. Usually when invocations have creeped up into the O(1k) char…

You've definitely called me out: I currently live in an area where I can do a bunch of different hobbies year round for the most part, and happen to enjoy them. I totally agree tha…

This advice is thorough, but as the author admits a bit autistic. It approaches a relationship as a specific highly-fixated goal that requires reps / practice. In general, I think …

Even if Ampere could afford to undercut the internal development of these hyperscalar ARM chips (which to my knowledge they cannot), there is more value in in-housing ARM chips lik…

Ultimately, every AI thing I've tried in this era seems to want to make me happy, even if it's wrong, instead of helping me. I describe it like "an eager intern who can summarize a…

I remember reading that book when it clicked how frustrating the doors at my grad school uni could be: they had what is clearly a "pull" handle on both sides, but it only opened on…

> Yes it's still better to talk to people next to a physical whiteboard, but it only matters very occasionally. Though I love a good whiteboard sess, a tablet with a stylus and one…

They switched to a non-free license about 6 months ago [0]. This is not just the usual BSL terms of "do not compete with our hosted offering, but use it in your own product without…

Another bonus: at least for bamboo, it has antimicrobial properties compared to plastic, which tends to have all sorts of difficult-to-clean grooves for bacteria to hide in.

Another easy thing to do is to prefer clothes with natural fiber types (cotton, wool, etc). A lot of the particulates in one's home are generated from just the abrasion of your clo…

Many such things from F# come from Haskell (given the influence from MSR UK, specifically Simon Peyton Jones before he left a few years ago), so likely Haskell or earlier imo (at l…

I end up doing this too, but ensure that the "single data disk" is regularly backed up offsite too (several times a day, zfs send makes it easy). One needs an offsite backup anyway…

The unusually high amount of drama in NixOS is one of the reasons I have been hesitant to start using it. Jon Ringer (a former contributor) posted a giant video [0] outlining his h…

> Nissan Leaf now starts at $28k. Kinda missing the point that you get 50% more range in the Dolphin, plus a lot of additional niceties / tech stuff that is just not available in t…

Easy: buy media companies to sow political division and pollute the discourse, buy political influence to restrict access to open and unbiased education to ensure the populace cann…

But verbal between whom? How can one be sure they're talking to a human on the other end of an SMS and not a chatbot? We already went over how this doesn't work more than a year ag…
