I've been consulting a long time, and my home is my office. Besides the uses other people have suggested, here are some uses I would have for a fast symmetrical connection: - Backi…

Australia here we come.

Yes. However, I already carry a tethered hand-me-down quarantine phone where I install my work apps and undesirable apps like Whatsapp (for those loved friends and family that can'…

Dude shipped flamegraphs (which he also created in 2011) for cloud GPU loads and persuaded internal stakeholders to release the code as open source. The "interviewed by the WSJ" li…

Seems like there's a misunderstanding on my part here. Ah, the memory is integrated in the same package (the "chip" that gets soldered onto the motherboard) as the integrated CPU/G…

I could be wrong about this but, if I had a guess, I'd say the 24GB M5 chips/systems exist due to binning. Apple is designing and manufacturing a chip/chipset/system with 32GB with…

This is a great shader intro tutorial!

A friend of mine had an art studio at the Nicholas Building, and I got to speak with a jeweller who told me that he still did a lot of bespoke work in wedding rings, especially for…

Cute!

The downturn was brutal, but the drop in development was also needed. At the height of the property bubble around 2005-2007, Spain (pop ~44M) was building more units per year than …

It's definitely coding, if we understand "coding" as "writing code". It's writing text in a text editor to generate an outcome, programmatically. Also, CSS with animations is now T…

Yes, yes and yes.

The failure mode of educational systems and institutions is to perform selection of students more likely to require less help in learning, rather than bear the burden of having to …

"defector.com" and not "defecator.com"?

You're welcome to write it yourself. Something you'll see by reading the overview is the part where the Zig team themselves warn you that Zig is not a fully safe language and link …

The carbon cost of extraction and transportation of fuel should also be added to the spreadsheet, both for nuclear and for fossil fuel generation. Finally, if we're accounting for …

I wish I could go into the site and edit the headline to read "Australian spy agency disrupts foreign interference into election" to prevent ambiguity and reduce backtracking by re…

My explanation of the base rate fallacy is that most car crashes are caused by people who hold a valid driver's permit. The number of crashes caused by unlicensed drivers is neglig…

I saw videos of gyroscopic wheelchairs at the time, and they are as awesome today as I remembered them! My skepticism was rather about Segway, the product, being useful as a mobili…

I met some of the people working on regulatory advice so Segways could be used in Europe. This would be about 2003 or 2004, at Campus Party in Valencia, Spain. The story they told …

The motivation for explicit allocation is explicitness, not adaptability. The adaptability is great, but it's a consequence of the language designer's design principle that all fun…

I was wondering why the episodes on the corecursive feed start at number 5. I'll check your hosted episodes on Software Engineering Daily now!

> Can I be the "lazy person" and ask which are the author's points?! Yes, you can, and I can be the hurried person with no time to summarise, and recommend you read the book yourse…

Given what I saw in my grandmother when she became ill with dementia, I don't see a much worst case. Maybe if she had survived for longer in an even slower decline... but heart med…

I'm currently reading Marianne Bellotti's Kill It With Fire, which is about upgrading and maintaining legacy projects. It's more about meta-software-architecture (how to think abou…
