I don't disagree with your points about connected cars, but at least for CarPlay (I don't know about Android Auto), it's entirely an orthogonal concern. CarPlay is a standard for, basically, connecting an external display to

EXACTLY. This lazy, backwards approach to tooling and workflow is why I jumped ship from logic design to software despite having an EE degree. VHDL/Verilog tooling is heinously terrible and everyone in the industry seems to be actively

Oh yeah, that paragraph really nailed it. Every place I've worked that's started to go downhill, it always started with executives, who never acknowledged their role in the problem or did anything to fix it. I'm increasin

My concerns about toxicity on Twitter are less about what I want to see (I don’t use Twitter anymore myself, even), and more about the incitement to violence we’ve clearly seen is possible on the platform. Twitter should not be a platform f

That’s a disgustingly prejudiced statement. While I don’t like Mr. Musk very much myself, I’ve known plenty of autistic folks who do a great job managing communities.

If being forced to compete fairly requires them to drop their prices by 60%, I think that’s a pretty good argument that they’re not competing fairly at the moment.

“Continually” is a pretty strong word for one change.

The author of that article is overly focused on the Linux (or similar) deployment model, which most definitely does not cover all uses of SQLite. The argument against 2) also depends on a feature available in specific versions of specific c

Well, she went to a different doctor later who helped her diagnose & treat her allergies. Which made exercising easier too, turns out. Who’d have thought? (Her. One of the reasons she’d sought treatment is that the difficulty breathing

I dunno. He didn’t elaborate. We left pretty quickly after that and she found a doctor who helped her figure out and treat her multiple allergies.

This is a great question! In my experience, the differences come down to: - The doctor is going off a very short explanation you gave in a 30-minute appointment. If you have a serious medical problem, you can dump days, weeks, or months int

That’s exactly why I used the phrase “source-available”, not “open source” - because those licenses aren’t recognized by the OSI. I’m actually of the opinion that if AGPL is open source, SSPL is too, no matter what some dorkwads as the OSI

by Arcsech 5y ago
Even if you’re worried about this, there are source-available licenses like SSPL or Elastic License v2 explicitly designed to prevent this, and which have seemingly been successful at doing so. The exact choice of license would depend on th

Grandparent wasn't talking about the games, they were talking about the systems . If you can find one, a PS5 or XSX cost about $500. You can't buy very much gaming computer for $500.

I think you mean exwm, which is the window manager that runs in emacs. StumpWM is written in Common Lisp and is stand-alone, although folks often interact with it via emacs.

The shortcut to implementing this technique is buy a gaming console. Gaming companies seem very committed to their desire to root your box, so might as well just get one pre-rooted and use it for nothing else.

There are two parts to an inductive proof: 1. Assuming that a property is true for N, prove that it is true for N+1. 2. Prove that the property is true for some concrete N where the proof for step 1 holds . The trick is that you need to be

I agree that this is a great book, but I think it fails the "impractical" test - DDIA is an immensely practical book that's basically required background reading if you work with distributed data systems.

I've been thinking along some similar lines myself recently, that I'd like to have notes that can link to code in some kind of semi-durable way (i.e. as resilient as possible to changes), be able to run code snippets in a variety

I’ve poked around the code a bit - not thoroughly, so take this with a grain of salt - and it looks like it’s all Common Lisp. There’s a very thin JavaScript shim that applies commands from the server, but that’s pretty much the only non-CL

What makes it "for devs"? I tried searching some programming queries that I'd typically make during a workday and the results were... fine, I guess, but it was basically just web results? Sometimes there were a few enhanced r

Not being an expert on the topic, to me FFI implies a tighter coupling between caller and called, typically that they will be in the same memory space. I would consider RESTful and HTTP APIs closer to remote procedure calls (RPC).

Cool. I don't feel like permanently dedicating a couple hundred megs of RAM to every site I need to use that decided to go chasing the latest counterproductive trend.

As a consumer, I have effectively no control over laws. I do have control over which payment system I use. So if you as an app developer don't want to give a 30% cut to Apple, maybe push for better consumer protection laws so IAP doesn

There are a few. But they're good for a vastly smaller range of use cases than they're applied to. You're writing Google Docs? Good for you, you can use an SPA. You're writing a social networking site? That should be a r

Yet another instance of SPAs pointlessly reinventing problems we solved decades ago.
