    I was an unbeliever, but we got some M1 Mac Mini's and this is the result. They even beat the dedicated workstation many of our people have set up. I get when people say it won't q…

    Came to comment this. Print debugging makes me so fast at work. Unless you give me an easier and better tool I so no reason to change. Works in every language, exactly how I'd expe…

    I have PTSD to the extent that it affects my employability. I've been fired/laid off plenty. It's the worst part of all my symptoms. If I could maintain employment, I could get the…

    I started and ran my own company that really ended up being boutique software (custom websites/servers, custom software, enterprise software repair), but I had a hard time figuring…

    It looks like you could have C+GPU cores. I bet you could still split the gpu portion out into its own separate thing if you wished.

    My favorite is to use sibling element selectors and checkboxes to make no JavaScript single page sites. Not the most useful (except maybe for tabs) but a really cool trick non the …

    Ah my bad, I was under the impression there was no complete ownership or control. I played a bunch of neopets as a kid and had no idea until a few years ago how involved scientolog…

    Looks like the glfw library is built for windows as a DLL and then packed as bytes into a go const and loaded at runtime! Cool beans, wish more people could appreciate how fun that…

    I pushed my wedding back to 2021 already, at this point we're probably just going to cut our losses and invest in a house or something. The fact that so many Americans are willing …

    This is a meta comment about articles around the subject. Most of them have been laughably bad and lacking in information. But the 'Diabolical Ironclad' beetle makes for a great at…
