@arindam___paul@amit_narnoli gentle reminder! I'm ready to upgrade! If a new version is dropping soon, please let me know so I don't get immediate buyer's remorse.
A device I'd tested for three weeks started refusing 1 KB allocations in the field. The heap monitor insisted 50 KB was free. Nothing leaked. The memory was just in the wrong shape. I wrote malloc from scratch four times to explain why. https://t.co/wzqlhyS6Bo
Deep-sea animals are bright red because it makes them invisible. Below a few meters there's no red light left to reflect. Your camera has the same problem, and its auto white balance fails four separate ways trying to fix it. https://t.co/iafLJQPREw
@abhi9u I read your blog yesterday, and this is hands-down one of the best conceptual guides on memory management I've read. It is not at all boring for what is otherwise a dry and confusing topic. Great job!
@adhirasy@dhruman39 The chorus lyrics “Mamãe eu quero, quero, quero, mamã, quero mamã”—are sung in Portuguese. The phrase translates to "I want my mama" or "Mama, I want to..." in English

All those morons who are justifying this are the same people who are always found whining about Indira and Shastriji giving up gains made in actual wars. Here, not even real gains have been made but still justifying the surrender.
Here's one thing nobody tells you:
Everyone's life is a little *****up
Everyone is going through their *****
Living a good life is about navigating challenges with a smile and humility.
Had a Vietnamese close friend in 2012. She hated Vietnam and said it would collapse soon. Many friends in China said the same about China. In fact the oft repeated quote was ‘China will collapse soon’.
Around that time, post-2008, another friend from America said it was collapsing. I told him to just buy Google/Apple/Amazon shares since it was all very cheap at one point. He didn’t. $10k would now be worth millions.
In 2018, I was sitting with an investor in NYC. I asked him about Musk. He said Musk was a fraud, Tesla was a fraud, and it would all crash. I was about to buy $20k of Tesla and didn’t. 20k = $2mn+ easily. Keep in mind 20k wouldn’t have bankrupted me. So even if his advice was right I should’ve followed my heart. The downside was just losing 20k. Upside was millions. But I was too blackpilled.
Mined a few btc in 13, everyone in the community was blackpilled - this is a scam this is a scam that I took Ls on it. Mined doge too. Same story. Listened to blackpillers. Sold early.
Years later I have now learned that blackpilling is the default retarded state. That’s why few people become millionaires - the rest keep slogging.
You only hate what you know. You hate your country cause you know it. And in that hate you forget any rational upside.
Optimists make money. Pessimists just sound smart.
