Sometimes I wonder if I am in a bubble. This has not been my experience at all. A few examples: We have a sailboat and it has a turbo diesel engine, which is unusual (for a sailboa…

When these tools were set up, on every code change you had to run these tools and deal with the output of anything it thought was a memory bug - part of the dev cycle before you co…

And I can assure you that there were a number of MS research developed tools for finding memory bugs that have been used for decades at MS. There was never a don’t look / don’t fix…

I stumbled into this same workflow idea. I hadn't really used anything other that Chat GPT Sol (medium) and when I wanted to start using code agents, I just asked GPT how to start.…

That’s also probably why when publishing apps to app stores you have to attest to the forms of encryption your app uses.

Except the steel armature inside can turn to hidden rust and if you do something and crack the ferro hull they can be a total loss. A lot were home built so finding a quality build…

I wrote software for a company that did legal forms on a PC - used by those same users that mastered WordPerfect for DOS. Those users typically had lower powered PCs even as Window…

I was just there this week and it has of course changed a lot. I was also there in either 73 or 74 as a kid - the visitor center has also grown a lot since then. Well worth the vis…

I was recently in a friend’s Tesla model 3 for the first time and all the buttons on the doors simply had a dash “-“ on them. No information about what they were for at all. Same d…

Having witnessed a large commercial ship going 15 kts run over a smaller 30 foot sailboat I can assure you it was not “pushed aside” unless by aside you mean pushed under.

Here's what they just got caught doing on Android - "secretly communicating with Meta’s apps on Android devices" https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/protect-yourself-metas...

Except, what happens when apps get removed from the iOS App Store and moved to another store for distribution? If people want to continue or need to use those apps then they would …

I have a pretty vivid memory of reading an article in the late 70’s or 80’s in a computer magazine (BYTE?) of a hardware/software project to digitize piano rolls. They were digitiz…

Anecdotal I know but my app converts from free trials at 4x iOS vs Android. Has done so for years and years. Same app, same price, same audience (North American boaters). Similar f…

For better or worst, Fb has become the de facto place for cruising sailors to share information about different regions of the world. Tips, alerts, advice, questions, etc. I sail t…

I recently searched for LFP bikes and found basically none. Would love to have one though as keeping one on a boat I would only feel safe with a high quality LFP at the capacity ne…

I really like this and I think it is off to a good start. But I also think there will be interesting/hard corner cases (such as offline/reparse point files - I logged a request for…

There is a successor project as well: https://github.com/SpinalHDL/VexiiRiscv

This is an idea that I’ve long wanted to explore. It’s along the lines of using the GEFS weather model, where the standard deviation model output parameter can be used to predict h…

Fun fact: the DOS version of the Cakewalk music software in the late 80's had a scripting language (CAL) that was very loosely based on Lisp. The author (Greg Hendershott) later we…

That would be good. Easy enough to filter Intel vs AMD that way as well as a particular CPU.
