I only looked very briefly, but yes in this case 5.1 driver hasn't made any changes other than the version. But doing a quick vimdiff with a few of the other drivers show that the …

> It is very cool to see that the class is being taught by a group of juniors/seniors I'm not sure how common such courses are, but where I went they were called "Student Directed …

> I learned two things that weren't widely reported at the time. For what it's worth, the Anandtech review [0] mentioned your first issue in their review back in October. Anandtech…

I recently stepped into a role with a devops component, and one of my first surprises was just how slow status.aws.amazon.com was to update about ongoing issues. I had to scramble …

They use the Lucas–Lehmer primality test [0], along with trial factoring candidate numbers up to a given bit depth to sift out some composites from the prime candidates quicker tha…

Thanks for pointing out the list and detailed views. I missed that when looking this morning as was bummed because I can't stand the unaligned-boxes-of-different-heights view that …

I see why you might link to the page you did since it has some additional information, and even provides a link to the more recent edition, but be aware that this is an old version…

What was copied? I flipped through my copy of Expert C Programming and didn't see either of the diagrams. If instead by "straight from" you mean "similar to", well, there is only a…

I much prefer to have the option exposed in the UI, but you can do this with any HTML5 video element by setting the video element's playbackRate. Often, it's as easy as 'document.g…

Good job. I see you went a few steps further than the Writing Web Applications with Go tutorial [0]. Definitely a good way to learn. I like your idea of showing the git history inc…

Nicely done. I've seen a couple of these sites, but I quite like the output of yours. Is there any logic as to what order the questions and replies are displayed on the page? It do…

Slightly off-topic, but I missed this from last week: the author of this piece, Matt Taibbi, has departed with First Look media. I wonder if he is back at Rolling Stone for good, o…

I recently had an interview which was the worst of both worlds. I was given a take home problem under the guise that they did not do live whiteboard coding interviews. I did the pr…

This might sound like a bit of a glib response, but just go with it. It sucks, but there is nothing you can do except to keep improving for your next opportunity. For what it's wor…

Graham Farmelo also wrote The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, Mystic of the Atom [0] which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. It's not very technical, which is sometimes a…

If you enjoyed this post, dig into Pat's archive. He's written a handful of posts that are in a similar style. Indeed, I'm starting to feel like a shill given how often I praise it…

Any kind of rate limitations with the REST API we should be made aware of?
