Yeah, I didn't know that existed but I created my own make environment a while back. My arduinos have been gathering dust for about 5 years, ever since I discovered the ST nucleo64…

Isn't it funny how when you ask for citations, the other person flips out and says do it yourself? Like, I have to spend my time figuring out if you actually did research or pulled…

Aaaand its too late for me to delete my post.

Having used half the IDE's this person outlined, I really really really really wish every single one had a "write Makefile" option. Maybe 1/4 or the IDEs I use do that successfully…

OH, right, yes. I can pay the 30% penalty. I was pointing out how irrational my brain is and the anxiety I feel when 70% of the population is nowhere near where I'm at.

He should have used the geometric mean, that's exactly what it is designed for.

The US seems to sometimes honor treaties, and sometimes not. Unless they get caught. Snowden and countless other whistleblowers have taught us that.

I have $2MM in my 401k I can't touch until I'm 59-1/2. I'm in my 40's and I'm worried of being broke when I'm 60. Insane? Probably. It's like no matter how much you have there's al…

Cute, but facts?

As a like-/counter-anecdote, I developed semiconductor CAD tools for 10 years, after spending 10 years using them. When they first started being developed with GUIs, GUI meant UI, …

>> Looks particularly great if written in Helvetica, printed and framed, and hung by the entrance of truly collaborative office spaces. This is the business model of many successfu…

Given the 768K Day discussion I figured it might be helpful to post this. I've been referring to it since 1996 (same HTML1.0 format!) but it has jumped around the web to many hosts…

Have you tried an HSA? What are the caveats on yours? Does the money roll over? Are there limits on how much you can put it? Does the bank that owns your HSA invest it? HSA's look …

Yet here we are. Remember when Obama fought to have healthcare prices made transparent so that we could shop for the cheapest medical treatment, and that was beaten back severely b…

Two of the smartest semiconductor process (physics) engineers I met in my 30 year career were both Evangelicals who were preparing for the rapture. Let that sink in.

If I was worth almost $100,000,000,000 dollars I'd be batshit insane and think the world revolved around me, too.

Calling Quantified Self! ( https://quantifiedself.com/ ) Damn, that's astonishing. I hope it ends up on youtube: I still watch grainy recordings of HBO from ~1980 for laughs, would…

>> It is community building in a different construct Yeah that's a good point, but it is more of a broadcast mechanism, isn't it? Like, I follow people I'm interested in on twitter…

Thanks! I have a 7p and noticed those didn't work. The 5-click method is easy to remember.

Twitter is the literal opposite of community-building, like usenet used to be. Not that I'm nostalgic, usenet simply could not scale to the number of users we see online today. I t…

'.' and ',' generally can be rubbed off or overlooked if the font is too small or if printed on paper/plastic, etc, hence the more reliable notation you mentioned.

Hmmm... node+electron solved MacOS/Linux/Windows, but the snag was I implemented everything in JavaScript, probably not doable for most folks, but for the past 4 years support has …

>> historic highs remain, until they don’t. As someone who started a 401k fresh out of college in 1988, this fear will be in the back of my mind until convert my entire portfolio i…
