And I thought "install from curl" was bad. Now we run from curl, every time? alias qub="source

I've always been fascinated by the dissonance between what some people insist they need from an off the shelf system (bulletproof with a dedicated security team because Security is…

> That's funny, a guy made this same offer to me at a conference once oh wait, you're that guy

I'd politely suggest that if your hearing is bad enough to be noticeable, then it is definitely enough to look into getting hearing aids. Hearing aids for those with only mild hear…

> Covid could've been solved in 1 month if everyone would just stay home for 1 month. No, it couldn't. And even if it could've, that would be impossible. Believe it or not, places …

It's not your fault you didn't know this, but it does say something about the breadth of education we receive

I don't understand... why don't you just not connect it to your network?

It really depends how you measure productivity. Does it make the team close their JIRA tickets faster and pump out more lines of code? Probably. But I wouldn't be surprised if it a…

It is the SWAR method. Another comment explains it well, it basically treats each bit position as a 2-bit adder.

How is it more flexible exactly? I hate this idiom every time I come across it. I like to look at the header file to see the interface and important documentation, and this just ob…

As someone who has to write C for their day job, I am a little bit offended by the introduction of this article, but I guess that's the point. The code presented is trash and doesn…

FWIW, I would hate working with someone like this. You don't have to be super active, socially, but treating the other people (and they _are_ people) on your team as just drones is…

> The normal experience with C++ done well is no need for debugging You cannot possibly be saying this with a straight face :)

> It is possible to define a struct type in C with bit-fields for the individual elements, however the C standard does not guarantee the layout and order of the individual fields. …

Whenever you're called on to make up your mind, and you're hampered by not having any, the best way to solve the dilemma, you'll find, is simply by spinning a penny. No - not so th…

I learnt Dvorak 6 years ago and now type exclusively in Dvorak on QWERTY keyboards (currently a Microsoft Ergonomic). I have never used a keyboard with a Dvorak printed key layout.…

You must have stopped reading at that point because the comment went on to talk about using the location to select a regional dialect only. Your browser's language is set to Englis…

> Most hearing aids don't deliver sound directly to the damaged ear canal, but also utilise other sound delivery mechanisms. Like induction. I don't think this is correct. All hear…

Those were just a list of obstacles, but there was no honest analysis to speak of despite the boast that he can 'do math'; e.g., the nonsense claims about transmission losses and t…

They want to block tools that offer functionality similar to their paid offerings.

In my experience speed is rarely the problem for embedded systems - usually it's more about code size. And tooling.

Always scared about fermenting things like this. How do I know it has the right culture in it and I won't die?

I would still call it tricky. I consider myself pretty capable but after a month of unsuccessfully tracking down DKIM/SPF/DMARC failures for some recipients I just gave up and swit…

> We should question old habits/traditions especially when the environment has changed. I strongly agree. I'm always surprised how much resistance to this idea I encounter, though.…
