Marvin the Paranoid Android

Not detracting from this post, but has anyone else noticed there's a front page post about Quaternions or Kalman filters on about a monthly cadence? Wonder why that is?

In my experience in a university ECE program, you'd start with understanding the high level properties of transistors, then combining transistors to make AND and OR gates, then XOR…

Of course! A setup GUI is almost a required feature if you intend to sell or give it to a non-programmer. That just wasn't the case for me.

Very cool. Looks similar to my own project. I think we even used the same case for the display. https://github.com/Mrjohns42/WeatherDash

Not sure you can eliminate it, but you can certainly reduce the impact and scale by fighting anti-competitive behavior . A major reason this sort of mass manipulation is so lucrati…

Reminded me of the Amazon show called Upload. Sort of a lighter, more humorous take than Black Mirror, but the darker philosophical complexities still surface regularly.

It almost did. There was a hostile takeover bid from Broadcom a few years back, and the US gov intervened to block it. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-qualcomm-m-a-broadcom-tim.…

It totally was a Silicon Valley b-plot, Season 5 Ep 5

The key specifier word was "whitebox". They aren't speaking generally about cryptography.

Very cool. Shamelessly linking my own weather display: https://github.com/Mrjohns42/WeatherDash Supporting EINK on mine could potentially help make it more visually compelling like…

The world always needs more 3D platformers.

Keeping it. Every company all hands for the past year wouldn't be complete without an exec making comments about our eventual "return to work" policy, which has been delayed over a…

Also reminds me of the intro to Creature Comfort by Arcade Fire.

Wouldn't this example do the incorrect thing in the event of a grep error (exit code 2)?

There's always StarFox Adventures T-T

High school history was awful for me as well. But a new course on ethnic studies doesn't have to fall prey to the same issues that have plagued US history education. Namely, who is…

Well, this seems to be just about everything most people wanted Facebook to be. Yet all I see here is (mostly-warranted) doubt and criticism. Makes me wonder if an ideal service ev…

Not too long ago, I had a lawyer tell me unironically, "Justice is for those who can afford it."

There are large rubber bands you can buy specifically to hold the filter in place on the box fan. I've seen them on Amazon.

"Let me pop a quick 'H' on this box, this way we all know that it's filled with hornets."

Now do the Libertyville office.

Technically, they aren't distributing Your Content. It's laundered through their machine learning model first.

Technically, they aren't distributing "your" code. It's laundered through their machine learning algorithm first.

I know it's just TV, but this situation played out differently on Silicon Valley. Instead, the competitors hopped to the front of the line to pay off the patent troll before a succ…
