Earlier, I wrote about why I think "Culture is not what you say, it's what you tolerate". I want to talk about the "cost" of maintaining the culture. It's easy to say: - Leaders should focus on creating psychological safety - Companies should focus on creating a collaborative
Culture is what happens when the manager leaves the room. Early in my career, I heard this line and didn't think too much about it. Then I experienced it firsthand again and again and realised how true it was. Companies write their values on a wall, run workshops but none of it

What if GitHub made you take a quiz about your PR before requesting reviews, to make sure you know what's in it? And if you don't...

Working on a Z80 replica for @mithroโs https://t.co/mrZyXPFbPk tapeout in a couple of days. 180nm proces and 5 mm^2 die area could be a perfect match for reviving retro chip manufacturing! FOSSi, open source silicon.

Github introduced a "tax" for using off platform runners for Github Actions. It's an egregious enough decision that I rushed out a video about it. Just published.

I've been trying to collect real-life examples that illustrate Shannon's Information Theory, and realized that The Boy Who Cried Wolf is a great example. If he cries "Wolf!" every time, then his crying "Wolf!" gives zero information.

@paulg Spend less time thinking about what fruits you are going to get and more time thinking about what actions you can do for a long time without getting frustrated. #karmanyevaadhikaaraste

In the long run, the people who succeed are the ones who want to live the lifestyle that precedes the results. Stop asking, "What results do I want to have?" Start asking, "What lifestyle do I want to live?" It's common to want results. It's rare to want the lifestyle.

Hey @SipeedIO, I love the #SLogic16U3 and I could go for a $69 box that does the reverse of it. Imagine a pattern generator that streams 16 bits at 200MHz from the computer. Then also add in some square wave signal generators 0-200MHz 5-95% duty and you'd have a hit.

โWhatโs wrong with build tools? Other languages are compiled!โ Yes, but their compiler is official and ubiquitous. The #JS ecosystem has devolved into a state where abstraction, the most fundamental software engineering concept, has been outsourced to third party tooling. The

Turns out that the driver for the mic has been out of the build tree for something like 9 months now... So, not hidden, and also, not actually accessible from the official firmware image, either... https://t.co/0TgmQqvU5u
Did you...read the hardware wiki? Good job man, that's some real columbo sleuthing you did there.

no one warns you that if you spend too many years as a frontend engineer, you will spend the rest of your life repulsed by minor misalignments in the physical world. my neighbor's slightly uncentered window haunts me

Philosophy is just the study of semantic aliasing artifacts that occur when you try to sample reality below the Nyquist frequency of English
Something I told 13 yo: Many if not most philosophical controversies are artifacts of trying to using natural language at a higher resolution than it will support.

Useful model: when reading an opinion piece / listening to a podcast, ask yourself how the expressed opinion is self-soothing for the person. Folks cannot express opinions that make them uncomfortable. They will follow up with a hedge if so. Gives you a new way to read them.

Some fun UTF-8 history, as told by Rob Pike from Google in a 2003 email. "UTF-8 was designed, in front of my eyes, on a placemat in a New Jersey diner one night in September or so 1992. What happened was this. We had used the original UTF from ISO 10646 to make Plan 9 support

There's a new theory actually. That spotify will play you songs you've already heard, so it can save bandwidth from having you download something new. Saves them money.
@JackRhysider "It seems to always play me things it saw me like in the past." I suspect strongly that this is not just an algo problem, but to do with licensing/royalties. At least in the case of YouTube, I'm not sure about Spotify (never used it).
