Sweet, this is basically how I design my protocol implementations in rust as well.

Way more testable, the bulk can be shared between async and blocking IO, it's a lot easier to completely ban unsafe in your dependencies (excepting std and core), etc.

It was the first system of a modern design in a lot of ways.

Six hardware threads, so the thread per subsystem model didn't really work. Instead you got the best results from a DAG of tasks submitted to a job stealing scheduler running on most of the CPU resources. But beside that, no little DSPs that you had to separate work out onto other than the GPU.

And it had the first consumer GPU to incorporate unified shaders (so vertex and pixel shaders ran on the same cores, dynamically scheduled to improve utilization).

Jeeze, if it ends up being these https://x.com/israel_elects/status/2115191017066377366 I expect no one can make a government, and we have a new election. The opposition's only real pathway is through adding the Joint List to their coalition (which is the coalition of chiller Arab parties after Ra'am (the Islamist party) left). But that's not really going to happen. And on the opposite side, Yisrael Beteinu was obviously hoping to be the one to switch sides, but they don't have the numbers, basically only The Democrats do (but there's no way they'll switch).

At this point my fictional money is on there's a new election in a few months, it doesn't have the same influx of diaspora helping the opposition since they already just spent thousands flying in and back, and Netanyahu wins again.

I wish they'd list which parties they're considering part of each bloc and the sub totals.

This was always going to be a bunch of politiking at this point to get some party to switch sides by giving them a ministership that the size of their party wouldn't normally justify.

Also, Chan14 is really silly to say 60 MKs, given that you need 61 and it's so far out from everyone else's data. It's as big of a number as they can say without having too much egg on their face later.

Chan14 is basically the OAN of Israel.

Deployments to organizations like .edu that strongly appreciates there's less hassle per seat (and gets them for under wholesale a lot of the time).

There's a lot of social network effects. That's why there's such a disparity between the average quality of a Netflix original and an Apple TV one.

The whole point of most of those esp32s being in that metal can module is that they're already tested and have FCC certs. That is, the intentional transmitter is already certified, making intgrators' lives a lot easier.

I bet there's either something the poster isn't telling us, or CBP made a bad call.

I saw an interview where someone asked woz about getting screwed out of a lot of the Atari money It was apparently new information to Woz, and he simply deflated a little, and muttered "not again, Steve..."

It was heartbreaking.

Can anyone expand on the chromium specifc guidelines on super tiny crates, particularly no nesting of modules/source files?

That feels like the ~2010 era of people saying that functions should be as small as possible. That lead me to reviewing a lot of code where every function was one or two lines and you couldn't actually see what was going on anymore through the layers of unneeded abstraction.

I want to give chrome the benefit of the doubt, but that seems really goofy.

The point of style guides is to optimize for readability despite a cognitively diverse workforce coding in the same repos.

I would think they're probably even more meaningful in an agentic world.

Shitty generals can't review meaningfully review the work of their troops.

On top of that all, I just enjoy programming itself. It's less and less of the meat of a software job over time, but I was coding before I got paid for it, and I'll probably keep coding well after I can get paid for it.

I just wish they'd stop buying promising stuff like Rivos that they're almost certain to ruin on their way down.
