These patents are old news in the UFO/UAP/USO community. It is widely believed to be part of a misinformation campaign. Why would you patent such secret technology like that? On the other hand, it would be awesome if these are real technology we have.

I was an unbeliever, but we got some M1 Mac Mini's and this is the result. They even beat the dedicated workstation many of our people have set up. I get when people say it won't quite match a new ryzen for compute power, but in all of our tests, the M1 beat out all our workstations.

It's a binary data format, supporting trees, tables, lists, and even blobs. Never used it, I already have sqlite.

Came to comment this. Print debugging makes me so fast at work. Unless you give me an easier and better tool I so no reason to change. Works in every language, exactly how I'd expect, and is exceedingly easy to explain to others.

I've been using conan pretty easily. My biggest issue is that the recommended install method is via Python's pip

I have PTSD to the extent that it affects my employability. I've been fired/laid off plenty. It's the worst part of all my symptoms. If I could maintain employment, I could get therapy. It's tough every time I guess.

I started and ran my own company that really ended up being boutique software (custom websites/servers, custom software, enterprise software repair), but I had a hard time figuring out how to market myself, especially in a more rural area. I ended up making a decent sum of change.

I lucked out and found somewhere to hire me full time eventually so I don't work for myself anymore, but I like have other people do the hard paperwork.

I'd recommend specifically knowing how educated your clients are, knowing how to effectively communicate on their grounds, and knowing how to get to them with advertising. Of course being good at what you do is important, but you'll still go nowhere if you can't do the above. (Also, I find that being a nice software designer pays dividends; nobody wants to hire the jerk)

It looks like you could have C+GPU cores. I bet you could still split the gpu portion out into its own separate thing if you wished.

My favorite is to use sibling element selectors and checkboxes to make no JavaScript single page sites. Not the most useful (except maybe for tabs) but a really cool trick non the less. You can really take advantage of the sibling selectors to make no JavaScript modals and menues as well!

There is also Redox OS as another rust project. I'll edit with a link later but y'all know how to google.

This is fine. I think frameworks are more useful for teams where forcing the same style on people helps the interoperability.

Ah my bad, I was under the impression there was no complete ownership or control. I played a bunch of neopets as a kid and had no idea until a few years ago how involved scientology was with the site. I bought a car from a scientologist recently and was blown away by the house they shared with their fellow practitioners. Walls of plastic wrapped Hubbard books, several family units (kids included) living together, dvd strategically left in car for us to watch. My fiance studies religions (she's a mental health worker and doesn't want to be ignorant to other's spirituality) so it was a fun watch and experience for us.

Looks like the glfw library is built for windows as a DLL and then packed as bytes into a go const and loaded at runtime! Cool beans, wish more people could appreciate how fun that is.
