I love the price on that.

I agree. Why memorize something that is well documented? Do you understand basic interrupt management and the existence of interrupt controllers? Good. Understanding basic concepts…

I have been developing in embedded systems for 38 years, and I have the shortest skill set you will ever see on a resume. I only put down the things I know. On the other hand, I ha…

Are you certain bitwarden has not? I read a thread here some time ago where 1password was bragging that they have never been breached, and someone basically commented back "they ha…

FIDO, UTF, WebAuthn. It can't get here fast enough. User authentication has been a hot mess for at least two decades. Passwords need to go.

Being that the blob is never decrypted off your local machine, it would have to be a local data API.

I read the whole piece. My key observation, is the author's assumption that HR was 'there for the employees'. HR doesn't exist for you, HR exists for the corporation, for the prote…

I like very lightly printed graph paper. Very pale blue at 5 lines per inch. I can ignore the lines for free hand, but they provide nice guidance for more structured drawings.

I found just the opposite in college. For me it was high write, low read, concerning my own notes. The only value to taking notes for me was the active nature of writing helped pin…

65. I went from 1975 through to 2010 not owning a TV. Not even one. In 2010 we bought a 55" HDTV (but no cable service), a BluRay player, and a Nintendo Wii. We also got a Netflix …

My note above, enough relates more to frequency than volume. Exposure to one serving (a serving is not a full glass!) two or three times a week matters more than five or six servin…

If you drink enough wine, and that means frequency, not quantity, you will eventually develop your own taste for what you enjoy. At the same time, you will also learn to judge good…

Dude, my brain is already rusty enough.

I enjoy wine, I am not a connoisseur by any stretch, but I can differentiate enough that I know what I like, and what I don't. Friends of mine have held two professionally run wine…

Yup. Exactly.Epoch times. Slightly less reliable than the National Inquirer.

Nice. Epochtimes link. Total rag of a site. And everyone knows it.

Frozen vegetables are good. Some canned vegetables retain their flavor and nutrition as well. Some canned veggies are just a hot mess (I am looking at you, canned asparagus). Canne…

> Just eat minimally processed whole foods as often as possible, diversify your plate and moderate your intake. If you highly diversify your diet, if any one thing is 'bad' for you…

I will also say, this was a great analogy > if a pizza delivery company decided to invest in better cars because people criticized their pizzas

As a parent of three young adult kids, all I can say is WTF. My kids were allowed to walk, scooter, and tricycle around our block from the time they were five years old. They were …

Never memorize the things you can find in documentation, or through tooling.

As long as you force everyone to run their code through pylint. Nothing like hitting a really rare corner case at runtime that just fails syntax and the process exits.

I think this is probably the most salient point. C/Rust then Java. I don't know why people hate on Java so much. And I think C lives fine along side Rust.

Having cut my teeth in Z80 Assembly, I could never understand people's aversion to pointers. You cannot do anything of any practical use, on hardware, without them.

Templates and Lambdas. Woof.
