I only looked very briefly, but yes in this case 5.1 driver hasn't made any changes other than the version. But doing a quick vimdiff with a few of the other drivers show that the files have seen some substantial…

I recently stepped into a role with a devops component, and one of my first surprises was just how slow status.aws.amazon.com was to update about ongoing issues. I had to scramble to find twitter and external forums…
They use the Lucas–Lehmer primality test [0], along with trial factoring candidate numbers up to a given bit depth to sift out some composites from the prime candidates quicker than a full LL test. [0]…
Thanks for pointing out the list and detailed views. I missed that when looking this morning as was bummed because I can't stand the unaligned-boxes-of-different-heights view that so many websites go for these days.…
I see why you might link to the page you did since it has some additional information, and even provides a link to the more recent edition, but be aware that this is an old version of PLAI that has been updated as…
What was copied? I flipped through my copy of Expert C Programming and didn't see either of the diagrams. If instead by "straight from" you mean "similar to", well, there is only a handful of ways to explain this…
I much prefer to have the option exposed in the UI, but you can do this with any HTML5 video element by setting the video element's playbackRate. Often, it's as easy as…
Here is the slide from the Verge livecast [0]. It's followed with this quotation "Once a device is upgraded to Windows 10, we'll be keeping it current for the supported lifetime for the device." I'm not sure what they…
Good job. I see you went a few steps further than the Writing Web Applications with Go tutorial [0]. Definitely a good way to learn. I like your idea of showing the git history including diffs. For anyone who might be…
Nicely done. I've seen a couple of these sites, but I quite like the output of yours. Is there any logic as to what order the questions and replies are displayed on the page? It doesn't seem to be either of reddit's…
Removing his lectures seems a bit extreme. It's their content, though. They do only mention "MIT OpenCourseWare and online MITx courses" though, so hopefully the lectures will stay up on YouTube. They really are…
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Remote: Yes. Willing to relocate: Yes, for the right opportunity. Technologies: Preference for low level, backend work: C, C++, C#, Go, Java, Ruby, Python, Erlang. Fair…
Slightly off-topic, but I missed this from last week: the author of this piece, Matt Taibbi, has departed with First Look media. I wonder if he is back at Rolling Stone for good, or just sold this piece to them. There…
I recently had an interview which was the worst of both worlds. I was given a take home problem under the guise that they did not do live whiteboard coding interviews. I did the problem, and it was impressive enough to…
This might sound like a bit of a glib response, but just go with it. It sucks, but there is nothing you can do except to keep improving for your next opportunity. For what it's worth, earlier this week I massively…
Graham Farmelo also wrote The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, Mystic of the Atom [0] which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. It's not very technical, which is sometimes a nice attribute in these sorts of…
If you enjoyed this post, dig into Pat's archive. He's written a handful of posts that are in a similar style. Indeed, I'm starting to feel like a shill given how often I praise it, but if you have any interest in…
Any kind of rate limitations with the REST API we should be made aware of?

This is an awesome book, and I highly recommend it. Just be aware that very little of the book concerns itself with C. The majority of the book is an excellent tour of the internals of the Ruby interpreter. Also of…
Hopefully some of the issues you're noticing will get fleshed out before the guide is officially linked from the rust homepage. I do agree with you though. I felt the same way about the guide from the first time I read…
