I'm a native English speaker, and that sounds like something I've said before, and all I've had is public schooling, with no college. :)

I built a widget set for small monochrome LCDs called "bitwidgets" as part of my g13d rewrite because nothing came close to what I wanted in terms of features and simplicity. I use…

...and yet we still have these things, like Gtk, Tk, ImGUI, some parts of Qt, etc, and they work reasonably well. I just spent time building a new widget set for small LCD screens …

>> Modern systems don't necessarily even have swap (looking at you, k8s) > Modern linux does have swap, and it is quite useful. Proper support for swap is coming in k8s (looks like…

Just bear in mind, what he says you probably shouldn't take at face value. After all, he is king of shorting currencies that has actively ruined lives.

This article is a bit strange and conflates disk storage with swap and RAM. Modern systems don't necessarily even have swap (looking at you, k8s), so the whole article falls on its…

The formal C semantics are defined in Isabelle/HOL, checked, and then the compiler output is also checked. They use standard GCC compilers for all of this. See https://riscv.org/bl…

Ookay. Not sure how you can glean all that from a statement like the one I was responding to...

The constitution is dead, and we the people, are left holding the bag.

Can I borrow the IBN? Please? I promise I'll return it...

Isn't that Von Neumann architecture vs. Harvard?

We weren't talking about contracting or consultancies...

And yet, this is how our system works. We all need to participate and realize that politics is not a career -- it is part of living in such a system, and a part of our responsibili…

No, realistically, it is called exempt salary works for hire, and there are legal limits to it. No salaried job has "set hours". The limits you can work with are: working on your o…

This seems to be incredibly short sighted...

> "Twitch said it would rely more heavily on law enforcement in “off-service” cases and is partnering with an investigative law firm to support its internal team." So if a user bec…

Android has a Linux kernel, but uses a totally different bluetooth stack called Bluedroid, and speaks raw HCI to the controller, bypassing all bluetooth drivers in the kernel.

Seems like an opportunity for a hardware startup to develop a water quality tester that continuously monitors home water supplies. Can't seem to find anything on the market that ca…

Stop geocoding by separating out addresses into singular fields, for one. Stop showing mostly irrelevant contours on maps, for another. OsmAnd~ is unfortunately the only game in to…

It wasn't. Play services is just add on features that proxy app permissions and centralize push notifications -- no actual Android features moved into Play services that I know of.…

Oh, neat! I had no idea it was WebKit on there. Still, what I had wasn't exactly what you'd be comfortable using for more than a few moments. I bought one of the original Nokia Int…

They have been integrating hardware from the beginning, not making it all themselves. What they do, though, is demand the ability to vet and fix vendor firmware.

> What a hopelessly naive perspective. Maybe, but I was there, helping it develop in the early days, which is the time span we're talking about. I can tell you the core of the Andr…

Right. I didn't think I was trying to rewrite history -- I'm simply pointing out a gap in the market that Android was attempting to fill. Asking me to enumerate everything out ther…
