I learned from MIT's 6.004. They provide infrastructure for you to build a simple core from gates for a RISC ISA in their own test environment. Their materials should be online (or available via OCW).(E.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvfifZsmpQ4).

Once you understand how to build a core, frankly the more daunting part is how to interface with the core. How do you load a program into its memory? How do you see what it is doing? How do you know if it finished running or if it crashed?

You may find luck following along with FPGA tutorials (maybe take a look at the Pynq board?) that teach you how to implement a design, put it on the board, and talk to it. Once you understand how to use your FPGA and how to interface with your designs, changing the design to a simple RISC-V core will be more tractable.

You could try and check out picorv32 or riscv-sodor to see two examples of "simple" RISC-V cores that you can build, simulate on your computer, and watch them execute programs you wrote. But man the "magic" behind the test harnesses can be super opaque.

This post comes across as a diabolical plan to get quality work done for free. There's PLENTY of validation platforms for quality of vendors (Upwork, Github stars, etc). And if you REALLY want the best talent, there are companies like https://www.toptal.com that guarantee quality.

Your scheme to exploit quality developers isn't practical.

Are you a developer yourself? Would you like to work for free for someone else, for "reputation and experience" while they milk your labor for profits?

Copyright depends more on common legal framework across many nations due to trade. Hence it makes sense to speak of the EU in this case. Abortion and free speech is far more country specific. It has little to do with EU which is about trade primarily.

Since this is a forum that values reasoned debate, it would help if you actually argued against "They get to use the same plain text editor they're familiar with. They get to use the same version control that they use with their code." instead of just dismissing them out of hand. Those seem like important things!

Also, what's wrong with

apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended

(or better yet having your IT department / your provisioning system for new developer machines / whatever do that for you)? If your position was "Documentation edited by lots of people should not require weird CTAN modules," that I would agree with. You can write perfectly good documents of all kinds with just what's in texlive-latex-recommended.

1. OSX has not been stagnating. It’s been regressing. Design patterns that used to be encouraged by Apple led to first party and third party apps that were small, focused, inter-operated with other apps and were extremely scriptable. All this was supported by window handling that made it easy to support a workflow involving multiple apps. The new design patterns encourage apps that are to be used full screen, have low visual density, and does not encourage inter-app communication or scripting at all, and with the sandbox actively discouraged it.

Even Gruber has been pointing out how Apple is encouraging apps that eschew all the advantages that OSX has over iOS to the point that it’s much better for devs to simply build web apps (his focus is more on the sandbox though so that’s another way OSX has regressed).

I think the only logical solution is to learn to communicate with the lobsters. Then we can establish diplomatic relations, and learn of their ways. Only after we truly understand the lobster can we say what is a dignified way for them to go.

If my mother doesn't know what "LineageOS" is then it's completely irrelevant to this discussion.

It's especially odd that you'd bring up something like a niche OS when we're talking about environmental impact at scale. The amount of people that even know what "LineageOS" is a minuscule number relative to the global impact of software like iOS and Android.

Simply put, LineageOS does not matter - at all. I'm glad that you like it, and it's cool that there's an option for you to install that on your phone but it just does not matter in the same way that Linux on desktop simply does not matter if you're talking about consumer product.

>This is the definition of clickbait. "I've forgotten how to read" does not mean "I feel like my reading habits have changed" or "I can not defend myself from the invasive world of social media and online content".

First, I think you confuse "clickbait" with creative title. Articles are not meant to have literal titles, and they have had metaphorical or poetic or puns or otherwise creative titles since before there were clicks to "bait for" -- including articles that were deep inside some magazine and not mentioned on the cover to attract attention. Writers and editors simply like to be creative like that.

Second, there's nothing wrong with this title. The situation they describe can very correctly be summed as "I forgot how to read" -- or even expanded to "we forgotten how to read". Forgetting how doesn't mean "being unable to" -- it just means forgetting how to read properly, or if you want, the "old way".

Heck, even a title like "I can't read anymore" would have been quite apt to describe such a situation. One would have to presume a very simplistic and imaginative audience to feel the need to spell it out more, to the point of the title being a simple literal description "Modern online media consumption has made my reading of books erratic".

>Valid concerns these are, but easily dealt with: reflect on your usage, uninstall the app, delete the account, make a decision and apply it to your life

That's like saying that we can end obesity easily if people just eat less. Or end violence if we make a decision to be nice to each other. In other words, it takes a complex issue, with many variables, and factors (from the pressures of modern life to changing ways of media consumption) and makes it into some character flaw or lack of discipline issue one can "easily" overcome.

Out of all of them Realtime Collision Detection stands out. It's basically datastructures for real-time spatial data. Every chapter of that book is gold.

It matters if those "2 billion people" can abandon it in a hearbeat for some other platform.

Well true, I wasn't claiming universality (was criticizing the original author) and was instead saying things are different for me.

Sure, some people of course have physiological restrictions on their reading ability, even if they have 20/20 vision (e.g. dyslexia for reading systems that exhibit that). But it appears to be pretty well attested at this point that reading exploits properties of the early visual system as well as deep-rooted higher level functions like looking for regular convex forms (perhaps for seeking animal tracks). It also may be the case that interpretation of 3D scenes (including for people without stereoscopic vision in their early visual system -- about 15% of the population) is innate while interpretation of 2D images is learned, even (or perhaps especially) moving images. Which would seem to imply that the more you read the faster and more automatic it becomes.

It's not at all clear that a slow reader is any faster at absorbing and integrating/using information picked up in video.

Of course personal tastes come in here too. I'm not claiming one is inherently superior, just claiming there may be deeper integration between the brain and reading than your average third grade teacher is going to consider.
I agree. It's too difficult.

Most users don't know how to update even if there are vendor supported updates available.
This has been true in the past, but the tiny 27” monitor in this machine is already obsolete, and will be even more obsolete in a few years once the lcd replacements have matured. So, this model will be a $10k footrest / minitower by 2020.

Really appreciate this piece. I have been doing more rmarkdown into pdf through pandoc/latex/etc. (yea its complicated but made much easy by the R community) for my English resume editing business. Still wading into Latex to customize docs feels like hieroglyphics. Seems made for grad students with too much time on their hands. The learning curve is steeper than I want or need to to be as an intermediate tool.

Addendum: I would really recommend crowd here look at rmarkdown flavored work. There are now a ton of community offerings for resumes/CV/theses even academic journal article templates. Most can be found on github.com and CRAN (the central repository for non-base packages).
Honest question: We don't treat dairy cows particularly well while they're alive (for example), so if you care about animal suffering why are you a vegetarian and not a vegan? I'm neither, for the record.
Prison guards are completely different kinds of people in these countries. In the US a prison guard is a guy that gets a week training on how to hit people with a stick. In Norway it is a 2-3 year college education with exams. It is a completely different kind of people who join this profession. You don’t spend 2-3 years getting this education unles you really believe in chaning people. It is not just some job to make a buck.

Before I developed a serious rendering engine, I'd read Advanced Animation & Rendering Techniques by Watt & Watt [1], cover to cover, a dozen times. It's pretty dated now, but at the time I first acquired it (90s) it was the most comprehensive overview of rendering I knew of. I'd also read Real Time Rendering, and Math for 3D by Lengyel, which are both on this list. For really proper collision, Real-Time Collision Detection (on the list) was absolutely invaluable, but I didn't get to that until a few years later. Around that time, I also read the excellent architecture book Game Engine Architecture [2] which I don't see here. It's well written, does things in the right order, and it's very comprehensive.

Agreed. It's more a matter of keeping your clothes clean. I use Method Sweetwater for that (little odor) plus I add bleach for underwear and towels (washed separately). No fabric softener. No dryer balls, they shorten the life of the fabric. I only wear cotton and wool.

Is it actually a decent experience with support for current play store apps, etc?
This is neat and I always find myself coming back to these sort of topics year after year, learning stuff I’ll never actually use, about how to make a video game. I bet there’s a lot of people here like me who got into programming as a teenager because they wanted to recreate their favorite 2D video games, ending up having a useful career skill instead and almost no video games to show for it for lack of time. The issue was only made worse when the industry went toward much more math heavy 3D games which has logic my mind just can’t wrap its head around. Maybe that explains why Kickstarter and Steam saw a ton of retro 2D games in the past few years... some people just went for it.

Surely it can't be the majority of Americans in growing, significant economic need driving lack of confidence in "modern democracies."

Ours is very deeply corrupt. The ONLY place that is really being discussed is outside of equally owned media channels.

Don't like that state of affairs, but failure to incorporate it into this problem set is ripe for abuse.
My thoughts can be summarized as follows: You'd watch a video on how to build a fire before you read a book on the subject. And you'd be smart to read a book at your own pace.

Like any art, the medium matters.
Write a book→ assert you are an expert due to existence of book→ hope people believe you→ charge to tell people things they already know but wanted to hear from an expert.

I'm certainly not advocating a one child policy!! I haven't really thought much about high car taxes; I tend to think car ownership will go away once they drive themselves, though I don't know about the pollution impact.

My point was that people make choices, and the ultimate end result of economic activity should be the satisfaction of people, not other goals, and that the particular ones that happen to drive person X wild (or that they want to higlight for the purposes of virtue signalling) simply reflect personal choices as well. I have my own bugbears in this regard, though they happen to be different from the GP poster's.

I actually do have an opinion on childbearing. I am a parent and enjoyed it tremendously but by hanging around with other parents there are many, perhaps a majority, who seem like they would have been happier having fewer, or even none. Certainly that is the case of one of my parents. It's great to have a child because you want one, sad to do it because you think you ought to. But I don't think that should be a policy issue; if there's any policy issue in there it's haveing an educational system that encourages people to make decisions that will make them happy. Hmm, good luck with that.

It's so deeply ingrained in me that this is something you do not do that it feels like sacrilege or blasphemy when I see books that are defaced like that. It's not exactly rational, but it's almost impossible to shake at this point.
