I would argue that the ending of the book is optimistic despite the event that precedes it. An imperfect father wants the best for his child, and does the best he can with the hand…

I’ve had a lot of experience in developing on QNX over the years, and with each successive year, the call to migrate to Linux got stronger. The day to day developer experience is g…

A white hole?

I work with embedded DSPs, and there are certainly points where the maths gets incredibly dense and hard to intuitively parse. Your last point has proven true for me many times. Lu…

There's a strong argument for the fact that Japan was effectively on its last legs by the time the bombs dropped. Indeed, the fire bombings that preceded dealt far more damage to J…

Bitter was the one thing in the UK that I wish I could get here (Australia). You can get London Pride in Melbourne, but they keep it refrigerated like a standard lager, so the flav…

I was once asked how I got to where I am, where others in my situation might not have, my response was: “Parents that gave a damn”. It wasn’t about pressuring me, it was about reco…

I will be following this very closely.

I check in on this project every year or so, and I'm happy to see that their support for AS3 is creeping towards completion. I, like many, wasted so many hours in flash games while…

Having watched the announcement the (literally) singular question that was presented was essentially "Why should the man on the street care about AGI now?", to which the answer was…

I've been looking for a decent replacement for milk for a long time, I've tried them all. Oat Milk is what I've finally settled on. Specifically the brand Oatly (which I believe is…

This is a good call, I love Jerusalem, but it is girthy.

Not who you were asking, but I'm a big Moore fan as well: * From Hell (Some might be put off by the original comic's black and white art, but there was a recent release that colour…

FPS of one specific game isn't a great indicator of GPU grunt.

Without Kubernetes? I'd like to read about the details of how you manage that load.

There's no strict technical reason for keeping Corba around. It's primarily an issue of finance. Where I work there's no real way to get funding for a maintenance task if it doesn'…

>The writing for new shows is predicable and boring. Actors are featureless blobs that all look the same I would argue this is a symptom of the money men exerting too much control …

I started writing then went on to automatically vent. I extend my apologies for wasting everyone's bandwidth. There are better technologies to use that can do pretty well everythin…

Unfortunately I know exactly what CORBA means. Helming a legacy project that still contains the requirement of using CORBA is a real bugbear of mine. It takes non-trivial effort to…

I'd be interested to know if there are any cases where RHEL have issued a WONTFIX on a bug due to some software relying on the bugged behaviour. Given how much of it is free softwa…

It was an honest typo, but it did make me think that at some point with the heat of the idea of the "Metaverse" in some circles, that Google could roll out a competing "Adverse". N…

My favourite story of Diablo's development (as relayed by David Brevik in the Diablo Postmortem - see below) is the part where Diablo was made real-time. He passionately championed…

A24, I think, hit upon something that had been nagging at me for years in that Hollywood films are massive productions, several million dollars get poured into them. Not every film…

I would be all for a real push to follow in New Zealand's footsteps in enforcing a date of birth cut-off. Cigarettes, and nicotine generally, are horrendous and aside from having i…
