Thank you for writing the "How to Find Lemmy Communities" guide. It was very helpful. https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-...
I rewrote 2,650 lines of C as a seven line shell script. The previous programming team had written a data transfer program with its own implementation of ftp. I just used the one that was already on the computer.
I live on my own so I prefer being with people at work.
Another interesting documentary about this topic is "Born Rich" by Jamie Johnson, one of the heirs to the Johnson & Johnson fortune. He interviews several of his peers. The film was nominated for two Emmys. It's…
One thing to watch out for is when the board manufacturer changes its memory map without telling you. Boards built before April booted and the new ones didn't. Fortunately, the product was still in the development stage.
Zimbardo was an evil man who tried to justify his behaviour by setting up a sham experiment to "prove" that everyone can be evil, given the right circumstances.
We're trying to do the same with the country.
I'm cobbling together a language that is stock standard C with classes. Just classes, nothing more. I'm calling it C+.
Some years ago, Gmail changed so using Eudora with it became difficult. I've worked out the following procedure: after checking email fails the second time, Server SSL Certificate Rejected pops up click on Yes click on…
Google's C++ course at https://developers.google.com/edu/c++/ looks useful to start with.
Oh great. Now my robot wants to go skiing.
I've done better with my home investment than I have with my managed investment funds. I bought my flat in 1994 for $107,000 and it's now worth $715,000 after Melbourne had the same rise in house prices as San…
When I moved from programming into management, the hardest thing I found was to change from flow-driven work to interrupt-driven work. I started with the golden rule: "Manage people the way you would like to be…
I find it useful to remind myself that I am interviewing them while they are interviewing me.
When interviewing potential employers, I ask them 1. Do you conduct regular peer reviews of your documentation and code? 2. Do you have a bug tracking system?
I joined Mensa and wasn't too impressed. Their attitude towards intelligence is like that of a teenage boy who thinks he knows how to drive fast just because he has a car with a big engine. Skill and effort are…

My favourite is "Targeting Safety-Related Errors During Software Requirements Analysis" by Robyn Lutz at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. It's available at https://trs.jpl.nasa.gov/bitstream/handle/2014/35179/93-0749...…

Having been burned more than once, the questions I now ask are: "Do you conduct regular peer reviews of code and documentation?" "Do you have a bug tracking system?"
In addition to MISRA, I've found the safety checklist in Lutz's "Targeting Safety-Related Errors During Software Requirements Analysis" at https://trs.jpl.nasa.gov/bitstream/handle/2014/35179/93-0749... to be very…
> “Give me 48 cents using six coins. Tell me quantity and value of the six coins.” That's easy. 2 x 20c and 4 x 2c. Nobody said the coins had to be American and still in circulation.
My favourite ones from my own family history were the plugs to put into wall sockets to stop the electricity leaking out.
When the tech world moved away from me (doing mainly embedded C for the last thirty years might not have been the best idea for my career), I became an aged carer for my disabled mum. I learned a lot about cleaning,…
