Would love some more info, maybe sources. DEI isn’t only focused on race. And even if so, if there are more statistically distributed poor people of one race getting by than another, that is a problem. https://www.texastribune.or

Can you explain what is bad about DEI offices, using tangible examples? Who do they hurt?

How do they legally ban DEI offices? Aren’t universities basically businesses in the US? (Not an American.) Even if not, aren’t they allowed to do as they see fit? Really surprised the government has the ability to do this, but I’m not supe

Disclaimer: this is not my domain. But wouldn’t the blockchain give a decentralised record of ownership that was protected from corruption? If a single entity owns this database, how does it fare against attacks/bad actors, or highly c

We have the equivalent of HOAs in Norway, I think, for large buildings. You usually buy, not rent, an apartment, and the building has a board, or group of residents that manages the property, carries out infrastructure work (sewer and water

Yeah. That’s all I was trying to say. I’m not speaking about anything related to shitty recruiters, how hard it is to be a man online (??), or how much it sucks to be the target of sex-based scams. Just. Saying it sucks to be a woman in tec

Yes? I just migrated from reddit. Read my comments. I have been discussing my job in Europe and my work with vectorised optimisations. Seems like a lot of work for sowing discord, but you make the call.

> Two, they look more like models than software engineers. Completely bullshit. Can I push back against this? It’s toxic as fuck. Being a woman in tech blows. You can’t be pretty or you’re considered incompetent and shallow. You can’t be

Godbolt doesn’t accurately show runtime speed of algorithms on input data, which is what you need when discussing simd performance. And often these are proprietary industry algorithms that are the core of a business’s model. I’m all for tra

Just a heads up, as far as I know that’s more of a porting/learning tool than a production tool. I remember us looking deeply into this and decided to hand write the SSE intrinsics. They usually map 1:1 but we had some unexpected diffe

For debugging you can actually use gdb in assembly tui mode and step through the instructions! You can even get it hooked up in vs code and remote debug an embedded target using the full IDE. Full register view, watch registers for changes,

Not OP but also work with this. There’s some tutorials but honestly the best thing is to just use them. Write an image processing routine that does something like apply a gaussian blur to a black and white image. The c++ code for this is e

I often hand write neon (and other vectorised architecture) intrinsics/assembly for my job, optimising image and signal processing routines. We have seen many many 3 digit percentage speedups from bare c/c++ code. I got into the n

How does it compare to the rest of Sweden though? That’s how I justify it here at least. I mean, I make 500.000kr less than I did in the US, but 900k also puts me in the top 5% of all earners in Norway. So I have a very good quality of li

Can I ask if you know how average costs in Scandinavia hold up to that? Working in Norway atm making ~90k€ equivalent after some time, but I took the paycut from the US because of quality of life/healthcare/state pension, etc. Sti

They have industrial-focused pi boards in a memory/dimm-slot format that have on board flash. A company I was at used it in a product for the rapid prototyping capability.

Definitely. Might have been unclear but I was trying to speak specifically about the “blame the platform not the people” mentality I was responding to. Fully in agreement extremism is on the rise and the internet aids this.

> Yet people blame Twitter when someone posts a tweet with hate speech. This is a dangerous direction for the world to be moving in. Not to diminish the issue, but this is mostly an American problem as far as I see it. I realise these ar

> we need to stop handing out education …stop training the enemy Seems a little harsh and nationalistic? Not an American so maybe I’m way off base here, but in a country where people already pay exorbitant prices for higher education, wh

I know it’s sarcasm but the thought of a small 64x64 video auto-playing at 0.25fps is hilarious to me.

Thanks, yeah that makes a lot of sense. I do tend to conflate the two concepts.

Makes sense, and I guess it’s semantics, but if the language/interpreter is handling which numeric types to use for me, should it really be sold as “strongly typed” in the main tagline for the language? Internally, float and int are co

I want to believe it will be great but even when apple was x86, linux was barely functional on the modern systems (2018-). Proprietary drivers for radio/sensors/audio were incredibly hard to get working and the blackbox security

It’s possible to be critical of Israel’s approach without being antisemitic, or as you put it, “scapegoating the Jews”. Remote controlled munitions, “less than lethal” or not, are deeply concerning no matter who operates them. On the topic

The screentime report was jarring for me as well. It sounds silly, but I used the parental control on my iphone to turn it «dumb». I can still use the internet, but blocked most social media sites and apps, reddit/etc. My good friend h

That seems like a very confident statement. How are you reaching that? (Other than a magic AI.) Quantum is not at that point, and won’t be in 3 years.
