If you ever saw this guy program you know he's very competent so IMHO that reflects badly on twitter, tbh.

This article contains very little substance. Show me the math!

Thank you for your reply! I did a bit of research and, since I do want to use quite some peripherals, I have gone for the ULX3S. A big factor here was documentation and availability; If I would have been able to find a MiSTer Pi I might hav

This sucks. I was working on a video course on building CPUs on an FPGA that uses Vivado (because I am somewhat familiar with the ecosystem and have dev boards with Artix FPGAs). I am still contemplating my options. I can still use Vivado 2

> Fun fact #1: you rent your cap and gown in the US. You have to return them. And they’re expensive, too! I paid $94 just for the privilege of renting mine, which is insane because they probably cost way less than that to manufacture. Ah

Nobody said it better than von Neumann: "Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them"

I don't have a lot to show for it yet, but I'm working on an online video course for software engineers aspiring to build their own CPU on an FPGA dev board.

This is great! Some comments: - I didn't like the "truth tables" one, I got many duplicate questions and for some reason I got only one second for the first question. The rest of the questions I managed to answer correctly bu

Eh yeah, duh? I've been drilled to put every fart on GitHub. 98% of my repositories have 0 stars.

I have noticed a trend recently that some practices (writing a decent README or architecture, being precise and unambiguous with language, providing context, literate programming) that were meant to help humans were not broadly adopted with

Surprisingly often people refuse to document their architecture or workflow for new hires. However, when it's for an LLM some of these same people are suddenly willing to spend a lot of time and effort detailing architecture, process,

Note that this doesn't answer the question in the title, it merely asks it.

> There are very credible arguments that the-set-of-IETF-standards-that-describe-OAuth are less a standard than a framework. I'm not sure that's a bad thing, though. Spoiler alert: it is.

I tried using this a while back and found it was not widely available. You need coreutils version 9.1 or later for this, many distros do not ship this. I made https://github.com/rubenvannieuwpoort/atomic-exchange for m

This feels like a very elaborate way of saying that doing O(N) work is not a problem, but doing O(N) network calls is.

Yeah I've gone through Linux from Scratch twice, but at some point I found myself just copy-pasting and to be honest I've never really understood how one would go from here to a modern distro (besides compiling a helluva lot more

My blog is https://rubenvannieuwpoort.nl I am also working on a "build your own CPU" series which is still in its infancy but the WIP can be found at https://cpucourse.rubenvannieuwpoort.nl

I've hear people refer to it as an end-to-end test, where unit tests usually test a single class or function.

Ouch, this hurts to read. It's not novel and lacks a very basic understanding of math. The graph of y/(x^2+y^2)=(x+1)/(x^2+y^2) by definition contains the points that satisfy this equation. This is exactly the set of points f

This is plausible. My dentist says I should use toothpicks, but they are not useful for me as they don't really fit between my teeth. I do the most problematic of my tooth with an "extra small" pick now, and I can usually get

Yes, that's exactly my reasoning. Even if it doesn't help for anything, it just feels satisfying and more clean. Kind of like picking your nails.

I stubbornly floss every day and every yearly checkup my dentist tells me it does not help and recommends me to stop doing it.

Agreed, 300 lines will take me a lot more than 10 minutes to review properly! Depends on the specific changes of course, but generally speaking.

Yeah, this was an attempt at humor. But it is quite easy to misunderstand the title.
