This comment is certainly true for me. The article really resonated for me.
I agree with you. And I wonder how the working paradigms and, importantly, the tools, got defined as they are. Not a criticism, but the tools that won. In the younger days of interactive computing, there seemed to be an…
This article talks about two main things. Accepting "help" applies more broadly than engineering or software. And I agree with his overall goals of his project..I believe the same. We get trapped into this bigger and…
If you are working more than 40 hours a week on average for a salaried job then the job is either mis-specified, or the person in the job isn't qualified for the job.
It's not clear to me how to build a business based on RPi availability. And the clones don't seem to be really in the game. Are Raspberry Pis becoming more readily available? I don't see that.
This is a great synopsis of the state of things..thanks for posting. Having all this information on one page really helped me grok all the action this year. It really highlights that there is a lot of activity in this…
The synthetic fuels are made from sources such as hay, which, theoretically is a net neutral to the carbon cycle since the hay's carbon came from the atmosphere already. This approach doesn't contribute additional CO2…
Well, this is not necessarily a bad thing. If it was approachable by a non-IT person in HR, and business rules could be updated without contacting IT and waiting, then more power to them. I have seen this sort of thing…
I agree. These types of fines are relatively small potatoes on the earnings that occurred during this time. Having worked for a large US bank for a large portion of my career, everyone is typically trained yearly in an…
Really good article. My first synth, that I had to save up for as a teen, was a DX7. However, wasn't FM synthesis part of the New England Digital's Synclavier system, which was available in the late 70s? Certainly the…
It can really come down to a business case. What are the chances or risk of a virus or ransomware occurring? And what are the potential costs and challenges of dealing with that? If I can reduce my exposure to…
That's right! It really loved that little Amiga Basic program and studied how it made the church organ timbres (along with the plot lines).
I read the article and the GitHub page, looking for specific examples that characterize their objectives. I believe they are on to something, but without specific illustrations, it is too abstract. Context matters in…
I use Common Lisp daily on macOS and Linux, but use SBCL and Emacs with Sly. Never tried out a commercial implementation so I cannot compare to Emacs and SBCL. Are they worth the money vs. the open source tools?
Thank you for this write up. Mostly agree - been using Common Lisp seriously (almost every day as part of my work). At our company almost all NEW back end work is done in Common Lisp as the first choice. FWIW, in my…
I believe I have noticed this as well with Ruby as well. All Gems work great, then, after a brew operation, I need to reinstall/rebuild against an updated Ruby. It's certainly frustrating and can bite you, especially…
Does System76 make a laptop with a high dpi screen? It seems that is table stakes these days...Seems like this is a pretty expensive laptop (portable desktop), but perhaps for gaming it's not a big deal. However, if you…
Our experience as well. We run a stack that comprises Python, Javascript via Node, Common Lisp and Ruby/Rails. It's been completely transparent to the application code itself.
That's true. I remember the Atari 8-bit had the same thing, some modes having a text bottom and a graphical top where plot and such could be used.
I think the bigger story here is that computing based on ARM64 has been, and continues to, surround the traditional x86-64 territory. ARM dominates phones, and is popping up in server environments as well, where it is…
There is a good chance that something like what the author proposes is occurring, especially if you consider the Windows product distinct from the NT kernel. Does it make sense in the long run to support two separate…
PDF is great because of its ability to present a print oriented view of any type of information, packed in a document container in an efficient manner. This is the design goal of the format. It is the source…
Had Bezos continued in the theoretical physics direction, I am sure he would of been successful and productive in the field. He would of got the math. Great theoreticians have imaginations that are able to come up with…
