I think it's less a middle path than a third option. I see the type of thinking the author is commenting on whenever there is a tight requirement on a feature. Especially when you …

If I need to move a 'branch bookmark' around a lot, I usually just tie it to an empty commit and then rebase changes before the bookmark.

Congress is completely nonfunctional. It doesn't work. Americans are just too dedicated to American civic religion to admit it isn't working.

It took a small company I worked for months to get new licenses due to AMD just not responding. I'm not sure they have the ability to actually handle this in a timely manner

This might have made sense for the original 13 colonies but after westward expansion, it clearly does not. Most of the western state borders were formed for administrative reasons

There is no legal mechanism left that could correct course at this point. You would need to have a constitutional amendment to drastically reshape government and that's DOA. All th…

That might be what you intended but saying "outperforming the academic nerds with zero experience" comes across as bitter and arrogant.

Why are people who don't have degrees always so weird about it?

Language really isn't the difficulty. That's why there's a thousand alt-HDLs that have been used for little more than blinking LEDs.

Its both depending on context. If HDL becomes custom silicon then it needs to be treated like hardware. If you can easily deploy field updates to your device then it's no different…

You are mistaken. In the workflow I described, I am making changes on top of all branches at once and then deciding which branch to send the new commit to. This allows me to make c…

I more or less use the method described [here]( https://steveklabnik.github.io/jujutsu-tutorial/advanced/sim... ) for branches. One thing I do change is that I set the bookmark to …

I worked in nim for a little bit and it truly has a lot of potential but ultimately abandoned it for the same reason. It's never going to grow beyond the founder's playground.

I don't really agree with that unless you redefine the ego as being synonymous with 'being egotistical' or 'sinful pride'. You need a sense of self to feel pride and something more…

I'm not entirely convinced that ego-less is even a better way of doing things. Sure, the ego can go overboard but it also gives a sense of drive and direction. It isn't just the ba…

I think that's hyperbolic. There are several designs advertised as being designed in KiCAD that have DDR which means there are way more not being advertised. https://www.kicad.org/…

You can route DDR in KiCad and there are some online reports of people doing that. KiCad is not as nice as the paid software and there are shortcomings but I think 'pretty useable'…

It's also tooling. Professional grade PCB design software can be acquired for a few kilobucks per year and OSS versions (KiCAD) are pretty useable. Professional grade IC design sof…

It's partly because you're not paying attention. Next time you're out in the woods, try to still hunt for a while. It's a hunting method where you move extremely slowly throughout …

If you haven't checked it out, nim sits at a really good middle ground for ergonomics, safety, and speed.

I don't know enough about LLMs to understand if its feasible or not but it seems like it would be useful to make certain tasks hard-coded or add some fundamental constraints on it.…

There are schematic analysis tools which do that now just based on the netlist

It also depends on what you're the go-to person on and what the promoted position is. Being the expert on some low-level technology isn't necessarily going to help you get promoted…

While full bandwidth applications certainly exist, it is rare. Most direct sampling schemes are used for having a purely digital RF front end within the Nyquist range of the ADC/DA…

It's very rare to actually utilize the full bandwidth of the ADC to do any processing in these. The data gets immediately decimated down.
