I write a blog that at its peak it had a not-huge-but-not-small-either userbase, and a massive TIL. Blog and TIL are two radically different things. I write the TIL for myself, and it's open, but it's pretty much useless to anybod

I've been using VFIO and maintaining a guide for a few years*, then I've realized that VFIO kinda works, but it's not a reliable technology, and I moved (back) to dual boot. There are very significant pain points, specifica

I can only share a part, since the majority of my scripts reveal much about my system structure (I try to open whatever I can, though; the tedious part of open sourcing a script, is to make it generic/configurable): https://

I keep a relatively large amount of notes (1), which are fundamental to my learning. My notes are essentially books in markdown format, which I can open with the editor/IDE I use when working on any project. My opinions are: - the vast

Last year I humorously told my 7yo kid that Santa Claus died of COVID. Already before COVID though, we had the Christmas tradition of watching Futurama's "Xmas Story" episode, pretending that Santa has been replaced by a murd

Sure! I've actually though that it was a relatively small number :) I've reached 8k users around 1/1.5 years ago, so the times are even shorter. I did not plan for exposure (audience size); however, looking at the stats, I th

The following is my personal experience (so I can't comment on the general nature of blog comments). I have a "strictly technical" SWE blog with approximately 4k to 8k users per month, which I have been maintaining it for 3&#

Absolutely "not necessarily". SWE requires an extensive amount of learning (if you're lucky :)). Unless one has extraordinary mnemonic capabilities, note taking is a way to structure and store concepts. Even if this wasn&#x27

I definitely correct my "does" a good job with "did" a job. But ultimately, I've advised a good deal of caution, which I think is fair, in particular, considering that only a small fraction of the companies has a co

Thanks, that's a very interesting case. I correct my statement with "_did_ a good job", and appreciate rigorous testing.

I've had to compile only a few times C/++ programs, and the experience can't be really compared to Rust (probably, to any other language :)). Lately I've cross-compiled a few times Linux/Windows programs, and the on

I personally consider the approach very solid from an engineering perspective, however, it's definitely a hell of a work to implement: with more complex ISAs, e.g. Sharp LR25902 (the Gameboy Classic's), it becomes a very demanding
