This is like being an architect and noticing that bricks and cement are still relevant... Of course they are!

Lose the leading sentence, your comment is great otherwise.

Isn’t this abstraction presented at the ISA level, not by C? It’s not that C isn’t close to the way hardware works, it’s that the ISA interface presented to C compiler writers isn’t close to how instructions are actually executed.

I think that’s what I was looking for, thank you so much! I hope not much has changed since when it was written…

How does one learn how to write device drivers under Linux?

Calculus by Michael Spivak

You win when the other side thinks they lost.

Is this a good book, can anyone comment?

Is it different from iStudiez in any way? https://istudentpro.com/ios.php

Dask doesn’t support shared memory without pickling because Python doesn’t.

I’ve been waiting for this for a very long time. Thank you for mentioning this.

Would this work with e.g. large NumPy arrays?

(and this is Raymond Hettinger himself, wow)

Notification in the last screenshot on the app store page.

Fantastic app, thank you for posting! Is there a way to get the current task name to show in full length in the menu bar, similar to what you have in the video? I see a truncated name instead (i.e. instead of "do task number bajillion 30:00" I see "do task num... 30:00").

Imagine having a switch fallthrough bug in code like this…

Fascinating to see a comment from one of you guys. Any interesting news/insights?

Thank you for the correction, I always assumed it was named after Glinka.

Liza Alert is named after her: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizaveta_Glinka

EDIT: Apparently I was wrong.

You can use Wireshark to intercept USB traffic and see the raw packets. That’s how many device drivers are developed for Linux.

I think it's more laughable for fiction books and less laughable for nonfiction books. Nonfiction books are like tools to me: they either perform or they don't.

Slack takes 5-7 seconds to start up and connect on an ultra low latency 300 Mbit connection. I really wish there were a native app on Mac.

>Late last year I interviewed at six top companies in Silicon Valley in six days, and stumbled into six job offers.

Misleading. He applied at 20 companies, interviewed at 6, got 6 offers.

Heh, did you mean gripe?

Slightly off topic, but I wonder how much net savings (% world GDP?) would we have if there was no need to secure our communications. At least some energy and time would be saved as a result, comms would be faster.

This only covers one feature of SQLite, but I recommend it nonetheless: https://www.sqlite.org/queryplanner.html

Start small. I would look at Stat 110 from Harvard, Strang's OCW lectures, and the intro calculus MIT course.

When you're done with that, it'll be easy to see where you want to go next.

I had a great experience with PySide2 (aka Qt for Python), although the docs still have examples in C++ (that are supposed to be in Python) sprinkled everywhere.
