Yeah it's too late now, people already moved to data engineering ;-) Joking aside, this is a very good overview of data science and engineering for the year 2020: https://github.com&#x…

AMD owns Xilinx now, so there's that. If AMD can get their act together by seamlessly integrating their GPU, FPGA and CPU with minimum I/O bottleneck it will be a huge boon for the computing…

The lecturers are from the same team developing Low Level Hardware Description (LLHD) language: https://github.com/fabianschuiki/llhd p/s: It seems that Lecture 7 slide is m…

Please note that I'm not a scholar of Islamic or Jewish study and don't take my comments seriously. OK I will re-phrase that to "one of the main reasons" since for the meat to be c…

Need to know what's type of water the people at Xerox Palo Alto were drinking. They pioneered many groundbreaking and game changing works on computing including (but not limited to) windowing des…

I really hope that Firejail becomes more popular at least on par with Qubes OS and to make it more popular hopefully someone can make a Linux distribution based on it. It utilizes seccomp-bpf before e…

Fun fact, Muslim can eat kosher meats but generally Jews cannot eat halal meats. The main reason is that they are both descendent of Abrahamic based religion that always slaughter their herd animals t…

Now we know how Dijkstra's paper editor come out with the infamous phrase "considered harmful" :-)

For those in ASIC and chip design industry, the two of the largest chip companies namely Intel and AMD buying two of the largest FPGA companies is inevitable, it's just a matter of "when&quo…

I am not sure whether you are serious or trolling but I will bite ;-) FPGA are being used in many type of applications where real-time is necessary and non-recurrent engineering (NRE) cost need to be …

Congrats on your new job! Since you are good at Javascript and willing to learn a new language, why not try to help port CRDT based library e.g. Automerge to compiled language like D language: https:…

Static single assignment (SSA) is probably the open secret recipe for unifying imperative and functional programming [1]. In addition, there are also ongoing research effort utilizing SSA for parallel…

Curiously, most of the historians from the west blatantly ignore significant contributions from the other part of the world's, for their own versions of biased history. They just conveniently swe…
