Ah okay, I didn't realize that.

Others are suggesting power supplies, but I think you can just use a voltage divider from a 5V supply. Like maybe a 2.7K resistor followed by a 5.6K to ground?

This is really cool. One cautionary thing though. I think that because of breadboard capacitance if you try any sort of high frequency stuff on the breadboard (like >= 10MHz) you'l…

That shouldn't encumber most people though. How many people who don't already know that have the skills to seriously compete with ARM? Probably none.

Well you can just read the reviews to see that the Durrett text isn't well regarded while others like Chung's are. And the criticism about a probability space not being a sample sp…

The sample space is not the probability space. The probability space has a sample space though, which is what the Wikipedia definition says, but not what Tao literally said. I thin…

Is rust as complicated as it seems to me? I know ML derived languages well so I'm not a stranger to functional programming. And I'm a pretty competent C programmer, but it seems li…

Google the title to get around the paywall if you don't have an FT subscription.

How easy is it to deal with raw memory in rust? That's the main reason for using C in my opinion.

Sounds a lot like a Commodore 64 or TempleOS, but in those this was/is considered an advantage.

Everyone who wasn't born into the small elite is affected by the system, including me. It's not a competition to see who suffers the most. Edit: also, the elite themselves are puni…

I think your conclusion is right for most people, but you're a bit too cynical. The system isn't rigged purposefully. It is just that the people who decide who gets the elite jobs …

I came here to say pretty much the same thing, but you beat me to it :) The fact is that these elite jobs, while demanding, don't require particularly unusual talents. Many people …

A friend of mine has a politician for a parent. They worked with Bush and told me that there are two myths people commonly believe about Bush. First, that he's dumb and second that…
