The Princess Bride

If you have seen it. You are happy to watch again. If you haven’t, you will love it.

Chip R&D. We only use 1’s, 0’s if management is feeling generous. There are no circles, no need for pi.

No. US Samsung cannot be rooted.

If you work in some place with a bunch of network disks, this is safe and fast. core.untrackedCache=true

If you are on a local disk, this is faster/better. core.fsmonitor=true

If you code adding the current branch to your shell prompt will change your world.

Also, if you are getting good use out of find, you should learn to pipe the output to GNU parallel. Put those cores to work!

I only saw Oxide and Friends when I was posting above, so I will certainly check it out.

Not top 3, just my top (now ended) podcast of all time.

On the Metal https://oxide.computer/podcasts/on-the-metal The description: As a part of starting Oxide Computer Company, Bryan Cantrill and Jess Frazelle decided to also create the podcast that they always wanted. Joined frequently by their boss, Steve Tuck, Bryan and Jess interview incredible guests retelling stories of adventure at the hardware/software interface. It’s unapologetically technical and as Jess says, “the nerdiest podcast on the face of the planet” – but if you’re their kind of nerd, you’ll find yourself hanging on every word!

Mosh is a lifesaver for laptops and keeping shells alive.

The D is a godsend, lol.

I dont think it is because of me, but if they are getting fewer reactions they might apread out.

I escaped ads and a dictatorship only to come here and be told how great communism is with an even greater frequency.

Blocking hexbear communities just led to those users going to other instances and making the whack-a-mole more difficult.

I’ve known I was coming to computer something even from a very young age, and when I read ‘The Soul of a New Machine’ by Tracy Kidder in high school I had even done some consulting.

It was like a window directly on my future professional life. I did EE at school and have been in chip design for over 20 years. This Tracy is not a computer scientist. He is a writer, but his effective reporting of the world is so spot on.
