if i wasn’t doing my current job and i was good at raising money, one of my dream moonshots that i think about from time to time is a research institute for foundational open source biology software, that’s not strongly attached to an existing prestigious uni/institute

I was curious how gzip compares to brotli and zstd for browser compression so I benchmarked Go libraries on a ~640kb javascript bundle for my Edna. zstd level 3 was the winner. Full results at blog.kowalczyk.info/a-5hum/c…

SiP (System in Package) devices are going to eat the world. Amazing what you can do with them today and no design required.

I'm genuinely worried about Github Actions supply chain attacks. Turns out version pinning doesn't really work the way it might seem, which seems like a fatal flaw in the core design. You basically shouldn't use third party actions at all. paloaltonetworks.com/blog/cl…

For those saying “performance might sell, but it’s expensive to deliver”—no it isn’t. Software developers today put *extra effort* into the hundreds of unnecessary layers in their code. They are paying *more* for *slower* software.
Straightforward code, written with basic knowledge of the computer, with 0 actual “optimization” is lightning fast compared to most code today.

Hey geeks! To bring AI into the last 100 meters of daily life, we're launching the CH570—a RISC-V 32-bit SoC with 2.4GHz wireless and USB 2.0(Host&Device). It’s an upgrade from the CH32V003, with more features at the same low price—still just about a dime(10 cents).
