This is mentioned in her bio at the end, but worth noting here, I think: Barbara runs a coursera course on learning how to learn ( https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-le…

Psst . . . verilog (not saying the same for systemVerilog) isn't doing its job ;)

Many FPGAs these days have flash memories that are good for ~10K writes.

This is a list of startups. Orbitz is far from a startup.

I like these "You CAN do X with Y!" types of posts - especially when it's not the same drum being banged over and over. I think there's a really big part of this case study that is…

"When I don't have to" If I'm not going to depend on the IDE to tell me what a deduced variable type is, you can bet your ass I'm going to want to depend on it for autocompleting s…

I do not consider the API of a reasonably complex construct "obvious". That is often where IDEs shine for me - in java or any other language that can gather that info for me. It's …

I was asked a variant of this sorting question (with the same expected answer) a while back. I think it's utter horseshit, just on principle that in 99% of cases the interviewer wi…

Are there any options besides JNA and multi-process shared memory (java to native through message passing of some sort)?

What do you mean that 'microsecond as barely acceptable'? That was too long for what? I'm skeptical that there are really that many players out there who are in a position where a …

These switches aren't really a secret. And the crazy expensive switch is guaranteed to be the cheap part. Now add the all the ip required to make that fpga smart enough to place or…

Better yet - avoid the kernel altogether! Onload + Solarflare is a wonderful thing.
