As I've gotten older, my knees have been the main signal letting me know. I tore my meniscus years ago. This is exciting news for people like me.

I can't recall, but I think it was about 7 years. Some will say that's an acceptable lifetime, but I think I did the math once, and estimated it was only a little less than laundromat pricing (less opportunity cost).

I beg to differ that Samsung makes good stuff. We had a Samsung front-loading washer. The drum and the crank that holds the drum were made of two different materials, and in the presence of the water and detergent, a galvanic reaction occur

I went to the local state school, and had an apartment off campus. At the end of the school year, we'd go dumpster diving, and get all the stuff thrown out. We would take orders from people before going – generally things like TVs, VCR

Well, it's clear this was leaked so they can throw Waltz to the wolves. "He was a rogue employee, and he is the only one who did this." I am not conspiratorially minded, but I bet this was because Waltz had Jeffrey Goldberg&#

A good friend of mine was friends with Dan Brown when they were both kids. Dan broke his back (or something else just as serious), and was in a cast for a year+. My friend used to say that he was normal when he got hurt, but turned into a r

Is it the same for judging all MAGA as Nazis? I ask that in all earnestness. I am not a MAGA or a MAGA apologist.

I am not defending any of this fuckwits, but I don't know that it's much different than any organized religion. All of them are stories that get retold over and over until people accept them on faith. I can envision a world where

I'll ELI5: Compilers take the code the programmer writes, and turns it into things called object files. Object files are close to executable by the target processor, but not completely. There are little places where the code needs to b

I worked at FB for almost 2 years. (I left as soon as I could, I knew it wasn't a good fit for me.) I had an Uber from the campus one day, and my driver, a twenty-something girl, was asking how to become a moderator. I told her, "

* Google is making almost 1B/day in revenue, or almost $5,500/employee/day. * CapEx is up over 60% YoY – they're spending a lot of money on GPU/TPUs.

Cross compiling is really defined as different platforms, not limiting it to instruction sets. Also, the M1 is an ARM, but the instruction sets aren't exactly the same.

Not all of those explode eventually, rather it's a small amount. Only the most massive stars explode into a supernova. The majority of stars are smaller, and will have different lifetimes. For example, the sun, an unusually bright star

I recreated that in grad school, also using QNX. We set it up to run a paging (POCSAG) system that you could put the floppy into any computer, hook up a DSP board and modulator, reboot the machine and you'd have a paging system. My adv

Most recently, as a manager, I had someone on my team use it to control our memory usage in a garbage collector. I've used it to control temperatures in multiple pieces of high-end scientific equipment. I've used it consulting. It

I used to go to McD about once a month or so – maybe for lunch, or take the kids on a busy weekend – but, not anymore. I'm not saying anything that people don't know, but it's like $10pp in my area. Fries are almost $5. I can

This book was pivotal for me. In grad school, my advisor recommended this book, saying, "it will be right up your alley." I bought the second edition, and it was. It is truly a graduate level course in circuit design. I started re
