Hmm, single life isn’t so bad

I’m wary of these kinds of stories, where someone PR-savvy with a grudge lobs nebulous complaints against a company. Can anyone at BO without a grudge substantiate this “toxicness”…

This seems like a trivial case of Betteridge’s law of headlines.

For integer primitives, all possible values are valid. Just allowing binary initialization for structs that consist of integer types would allow compatibility with C structure. As …

I really wish there was a safe way to initialize structs with arbitrary binary data in rust. Perhaps I'm missing something, but it seems intuitively safe, especially if the struct …

I'd feel better if the mob cited his lifetime of shittiness, rather than focusing on exactly one incident. My favorite was when he gloated over Steve Jobs' death the day after he d…

Oh how I miss big-endian...

Voyager 2's computer was reset in 2010: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/news/details.php?article_id=16 It suddenly started returning corrupted frames. So engineers had it slowly trans…

Rust is build around the expectation that allocations happen automatically and can never fail. I’m curious to see how they deal with this in a kernel...

Men are toxic and evil, and women are noble and put-upon —- what a fresh and interesting idea, why haven’t I heard about it before!
