I spent a few days playing around with bootloaders for the first time. This post builds up to a text editor with a few keyboard shortcuts. I'll be giving a virtual talk based on this work at Hacker Nights on Jan 27 . There are a definitely bugs. But it's hard to find intermediate resources for bootloader programming so maybe parts of this will be useful. If you already know the basics and the intermediates and just want a fantastic int....

I have recently been thinking a lot about tagged unions in SystemVerilog, since I discovered them a few months ago. In this post I present some of the ideal use cases for tagged unions, and why I think no one actually uses them. Despite being initially proposed in 2003 , and officially part of the language since the SystemVerilog 1800-2005 standard was released, at this point tagged unions appear to be a forgotten language feature. I t..

Arrived just after 7am to catch the sunrise. We were perhaps the fifth car, and got a space right next to the Gold Creek Snowshoe Trailhead. The road from the I-90 (NF-4832) was in a fairly good condition, with several snow free stretches, but also some stretches of hardened snow and ice. The iciest sections were at the corner by Gold Creek Sno-Park where you first enter the road, and by the Gold Creek Snowshoe Trailhead, but with our AWD i..

This is the second part in a 2-part series on the "Fibonacci" interview problem. We are building off of a previous post, so take a look at Part I if you haven't seen it. Previously, we examined the problem and constructed a logarithmic-time solution based on computing the power of a matrix. Now we will derive a constant time solution using some more linear algebra. If you had trouble with the linear algebra in part I, it may help to re..

This is the first part of an in-progress series on the Obsidian knowledge base . You can find all the articles with the obsidian tag . I’m not an organized person by nature. I tend to try to just commit important things to memory rather than write them down in any systematized way, which means I end up forgetting things about 20-30% of the time, and just hoping I remembered the most important things in some kind of implicit neural prio....

Inclusive Language Overview The Sustaining Engineering team at Remind recently implemented changes that focus on using inclusive language within our codebases. We encourage other engineering teams to do the same, and hope these updates create a more inclusive space for everyone at Remind. Terms like master and slave have no place in a modern codebase. They don’t belong inside of our repositories, and they certainly do not belong on a repos....

I had a hunch that old songs were taking over music streaming platforms—but even I was shocked when I saw the most recent numbers. According to MRC Data, old songs now represent 70% of the US music market. Those who make a living from new music—especially that endangered species known as the working musician—have to look at these figures with fear and trembling. But the news gets worse. I can’t say I can relate as my kids of ages 21, 18,..

I've long struggled with the *Technical* Debt metaphor. It was immediately useful when I first heard it. I still think it is useful, albeit as a starting point. The more I worked with software, the more infuriatingly incomplete it started to feel. So I've reframed it as *Software* Debt, for myself. Here's what I'm thinking.
