I only looked very briefly, but yes in this case 5.1 driver hasn't made any changes other than the version. But doing a quick vimdiff with a few of the other drivers show that the files have seen some substantial changes over time, and

I recently stepped into a role with a devops component, and one of my first surprises was just how slow status.aws.amazon.com was to update about ongoing issues. I had to scramble to find twitter and external forums confirmation for the cl

Thanks for pointing out the list and detailed views. I missed that when looking this morning as was bummed because I can't stand the unaligned-boxes-of-different-heights view that so many websites go for these days. Maybe I'm just

I see why you might link to the page you did since it has some additional information, and even provides a link to the more recent edition, but be aware that this is an old version of PLAI that has been updated as recently as 2012 [0]. Furt

What was copied? I flipped through my copy of Expert C Programming and didn't see either of the diagrams. If instead by "straight from" you mean "similar to", well, there is only a handful of ways to explain this ma

I much prefer to have the option exposed in the UI, but you can do this with any HTML5 video element by setting the video element's playbackRate. Often, it's as easy as 'document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].pla

Good job. I see you went a few steps further than the Writing Web Applications with Go tutorial [0]. Definitely a good way to learn. I like your idea of showing the git history including diffs. For anyone who might be interested in Go and i

Nicely done. I've seen a couple of these sites, but I quite like the output of yours. Is there any logic as to what order the questions and replies are displayed on the page? It doesn't seem to be either of reddit's 'top

Removing his lectures seems a bit extreme. It's their content, though. They do only mention "MIT OpenCourseWare and online MITx courses" though, so hopefully the lectures will stay up on YouTube. They really are excellent lec

Slightly off-topic, but I missed this from last week: the author of this piece, Matt Taibbi, has departed with First Look media. I wonder if he is back at Rolling Stone for good, or just sold this piece to them. There are two interesting no

I recently had an interview which was the worst of both worlds. I was given a take home problem under the guise that they did not do live whiteboard coding interviews. I did the problem, and it was impressive enough to get me on the phone.

This might sound like a bit of a glib response, but just go with it. It sucks, but there is nothing you can do except to keep improving for your next opportunity. For what it's worth, earlier this week I massively failed whiteboarding

Graham Farmelo also wrote The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, Mystic of the Atom [0] which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. It's not very technical, which is sometimes a nice attribute in these sorts of biographies, but it c

If you enjoyed this post, dig into Pat's archive. He's written a handful of posts that are in a similar style. Indeed, I'm starting to feel like a shill given how often I praise it, but if you have any interest in language im

This is an awesome book, and I highly recommend it. Just be aware that very little of the book concerns itself with C. The majority of the book is an excellent tour of the internals of the Ruby interpreter. Also of interest might be this se

Hopefully some of the issues you're noticing will get fleshed out before the guide is officially linked from the rust homepage. I do agree with you though. I felt the same way about the guide from the first time I read (parts of) it, a

I agree with Anand, the other writers have indeed been doing a tremendous job. I've been wondering for awhile now what exactly was going on with Anand at anandtech. It was either that he was locked away writing some epic articles, or h

Bjarne has been on a bit of a promotion tour recently. Here is another Q&A session he did with Slashdot on the 20th [0]. I suppose this is because of the recent standardization of C++14. One thing I don't particularly agree with is
