There are many ways of thinking and reasoning about the profession and what it means to each and every one of us. Some of the buckets: * The builders, don't care how they get the result. * The crafters, those who care how they get to t

Might not be for everyone, but using git to index markdown notes + linking it against cloud storage like dropbox/icloud to have it available on phones/tables have served me well over the last 5 years.

I think the best approach to take with personal knowledge bases or any knowledge data, is to have the ability to bring your data in and out as one pleases. In my flow, I use a hybrid Zettelkasten-based approach to linking notes. vscode, zet

I think it is so important to be able to disconnect from whatever it is that we are doing, even for a very short period of time. Go for a walk, brew a coffee or simply close your eyes and breathe. Many times, stress is created artificially

To go a bit deeper, while still keeping it at a very high level what changes were made between each generation: PCIe 1.0 & PCIe 2.0: Encoding: 8b/10b PCIe 2.0 -> PCIe 3.0 transition: Encoding changed from 8b/10b to 128b&#x2

I think a quick 2-minute read on the changes around each generation gen1 -> gen4 example from 2016 will make it a bit clearer [0]. Things like packet encoding etc. Then a quick look at the signalling change of NRZ vs PAM4 in later genera

Not my area at all, just passing by and wondering to the extent and how they use knowledge graphs for drug discovery. Some time back I had a peek at AstraZeneca's GitHub [0] and got me curious. I know in genomics they try to use custom

Got me curious regarding ARM latency, wonder if that was related to particular instructions which added more latency or transfers between the registers/memory subsystem internals. Also on the off-chance that you remember, did you inlin

This is great! What a lovely read. Reminds me back of my teenage years mesmerised by software/hardware synths, daws and everything and anything related to audio tech. Hours spent trying to understand different waves, oscillations, LFOs

Useful when you want to have multiple git accounts changing based on the path. Thanks for the share! In my case it was changing the ssh key based on the project folder.

That's the thing with details; sometimes you don't know the extent or context in which they will occur. Your perceptiveness at a particular moment could determine a good or not-so-good outcome. However, you may not have the expert

I think the real world latency numbers will be interesting to see with PCIe 6.0/7.0 since adopting PAM4 modulation allows the greater bandwidth. [0] Why Did PCIe 6.0 Adopt PAM4? There Are Many Reasons. https://blog.samte

Under 3.1 Allocator Interface, there is a great point about reducing wear levelling by rebalancing the B+ tree operations to reduce the number of writes thus extending the lifespan of the hardware. Not much of a concern on the small scale,
