I have a very intellectually rewarding job, hacking in Haskell on problems directly related to my PhD research i’m painfully aware that this is not the case for most of humanity i’m also realistic enough to know that i will have to continually adapt to new reality. Are you?

Amazing! RT @BrunoLevy01: What's that ? It is the *complete* VERILOG source of a fully functional RISC-V processor. Fits on a postcard (and there is even enough room for the stamp !) xitter.cf/BrunoLevy01/status/159…

Since @smdiehl does not allow direct replies, I do this. I'm trying to understand what you're saying "no" to. No, it is not a problem? No, blockchain is not a solution?

I don’t get the “multiple monitors over one high res monitor” people. They must look at a beautiful, large continuous display and think “You know what *this* needs? A giant friggin line right down the center in most important part”
