My thoughts in response to the Nov. 18 Cloudflare outage and the prior AWS outage.

I was really hope for that to turn out well, but alas, but to Emacs or Neovim I go. I even paid for an Onivim2 license.

Right, exactly: when that much care is put into a resource, I truly feel that I enjoy it more, even if the material itself might seem dry at first. Those kinds of feeling books are…

Rust is definitely different (and calmer imho) on bare metal. That said (as much of a Rust fanboy I am), I also enjoy Zig.

It's not really CS, but alongside the books you have listed (I have most of those physically and as eBooks!) I absolutely adore "The Art of Electronics" as the Bible to electronics…

I honestly have a hard time seeing how you could confuse that, but maybe I'm biased because I've seen this terminology forever.

Completely agreed. Plus the fact that all my notes are in plain text, (somewhat) editable on my phone/iPad, and easily searchable, switching to something else doesn't make sense to…

I've had a much better (and arguably as safe) time running CalyxOS or Graphene on my Pixel. It feels like the best of both worlds.

Finally out of beta! Good to see.

Kagi Search [1] has an optional filter for this. Sadly it's only in beta for now. [1] https://kagi.com/

I fairly often do something like this. I have a simple CLI project that I write that hits a few web APIs and reads a file. It's fairly simple, but these are the kind of basic thing…

This seems to go against the nature of open source, and almost feels wrong. I see how it enables monetisation (pay for my sponsor and you get both the app and source!) but I don't …

Regardless of other projects like this, I've been looking for a fun project for my CM4. I think you just made my weekend!

I know there was a widespread issue of counterfeit copies of "The Art of Electronics" to the point where the book's official website has a large warning on the front page. Luckily …

I already love a lot of things at Pimoroni, but that Tiny2040 looks great for experimenting with! The wireless pack also seems interesting, might experiment with that concept on a …

I honestly loving using it as well, hence the post. I have not always had the best time with the Parallax Propeller (was going to use it for a work project last week but ended up g…

Jazz vibraphonist here: pretty sure there isn't a definitive "minor scale," as you say. 4 (3?) of the modes are considered minor, 2 major, and the weird one (dominant 7). So I comp…

Might be in general, but for Ivy League and higher schools, they've seen record application numbers. I got denied from MIT and was told that they won't even refer due to the enormo…

The author has been doing a great job of keeping the book updated, and constantly emails news and progress reports. Kudos to his interaction with the community!
