Sand Hill Road is a road in the SF bay area where a lot of VC firms have headquarters. People use "Sand Hill Road" to refer to the SF VC industry the same way people use "Wall Stre…

Has Oxide released any information on the price range of one of their machines? I assume if they're targeting mid-size enterprises it would be outside what I would consider buying …

Kinda like how benihanas are lame, unless you're shaved-head Jamie Thomas taking it down a gap: https://i0.heartyhosting.com/skateboarding.transworld.net/wp... From this Transworld…

I always thought names like "180 nosegrind" made no sense. Why not "180 switch 5-0"? That seems so much more intuitive. It made so much more sense when I learned a lot of these tri…

Here is a podcast excerpt (FXguide podcast) of Alvy Ray Smith describing the whiteboard incident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps0RRx0Wd7w

In general I find I'm productive in Rust; however, I do agree that there are some features that produce more confusion and debugging than others. For me it seems to be async and dy…

Puts it back in the exact same position too

I've observed that large corporations are also quite capable of bureaucracy. Although I've never worked in public sector so I can't make a cross comparison.

I could not agree more. Additionally, if you are going to use a QR code and web page as opposed to a physical menu, there's no shame in just statically hosting a PDF of your menu. …

I think Beej's Guide to Network Programming is IMO hands down the best resource I've come across: https://beej.us/guide/bgnet/ It also doubles as a very great introduction to C, if…

I thought it was pretty cool, and glad they shared it.

What I'm seeing is a lean (at least in large companies) to offering more associate choice towards WFH/office going forward. If there are natural skews in terms of which populations…

I've absolutely loathed working from my makeshift bedroom office for over a year. I rent a townhouse with multiple roommates, and there simply isn't communal space to accommodate e…

I admit I sometimes use google search as a spell check that's a simple Ctrl + T away. I'm not proud, but it's so simple to access when you're already in the browser.

Is there any thought to including a default executor in the standard library? I think it's kind of an obstacle for beginners when the language/stdlib provide all the tools to write…

I think that consideration of libraries is a good point, I didn't initially consider, and especially relevant for Python. I think the one connection I'd make back to my original po…

I can't help but feel like if you want static typing, you're better off recognizing that python is not the right tool for the job. Admittedly I've never done serious work with mypy…

I think it would be really cool if there was a VS code extension where you could embed dot graphs in your .md file within a triple back tick block. Then when you hit the preview bu…

If this is made for a quick, tongue-in-cheek laugh I think it's pretty harmless and kind of funny. If this is posited as actual guidance for interpersonal communication, run.

TIL: You can use `echo $?` to get the last process's exit code.

I think the value of calming down is normally to not send impolite or passive aggressive communications. I don't have so much experience interacting with recruiters/hiring managers…

I spend more the 1-2 hours a day in "ceremonies". Today we had a meeting to discuss the pervasiveness of meetings. The irony was palpable.

There's a good On the Metal podcast with Jonathan Blow as the guest, where he talks about his experience with the Cell processor. He also states that in his experience, the idea di…

Currently taking Graduate Introduction to Operating Systems at Georgia Tech, and this guide has been like a bible for me. Huge thanks to Beej!

Hey just FYI, when you run the hackernews and explore examples without enabling the tokio feature flag, you get compilation errors about undeclared types for all the tokio stuff. I…
