Immediate mode UIs tend to be more practical in applications where you're updating the entire screen every frame anyway. If your application is going to be mostly static anyway, a retained mode UI will probably better serve your needs,

In addition to what others have said, they are different types of GUI systems. As an immediate mode UI, the logic behind what gets drawn to the screen in Nuklear runs every frame, and it draws/updates the entire screen every frame. A r

Another advantage of Nuklear is that it has a pure software renderer back end that comes with it. If you're developing on a system where you don't have OpenGL or any of the other myriad of software/hardware renderers, nuklear

You would need to modify the execve system call (or equivalent non-Linux OS's) to take in the 4th json arg for the shell to pass when it exec's the new process. And then of course modify the OS kernel to parse/deal with it. B

I hadn't seen OpenOCD yet, so thanks for that. On the boards I'm currently playing with, while they technically have JTAG, it's pin muxed with pins used for the sd card. So I'd have to build a new u-boot to reconfigure t

Agreed. I'm currently using qemu and gdb from an x64 Linux system to debug an aarch64 interrupt problem I'm having. Not the sort of thing you can easily debug on real hardware. I've done similar things with VMware, but as far

I actually wouldn't mind porting Zig to our OS; right now it seems it would be pretty easy, and looks like they're going to make the bootstrapping process pretty straight forward in the future as well. I just wish other languages

A large part of the current usage of the terminology comes from historical momentum. It used to be the case that transistor size was fairly well correlated with performance and capability. Moore's Law was well-known and a simple transi

One of my favorite explanations of some of these concepts is Wait-but-why's explanation of Grahm's Number [0]. It breaks this concept down in a way that's very accessible to people like me who have a pretty limited grasp of m

I'd love to see your setup and how you attached the fin. I've thought of doing something similar, but instead of a fin, I figured the easiest way to steer the frisbee would be to bend the disc either up or down. Depending on spin

One of the easiest ways to get into writing your own kernel is to start with the OS Dev wiki [0]. Both the wiki and their forums are a great place for getting your feet wet. For more general information, there are also a handful of articles

I think that unfortunately, when it comes to the public perception, that the movie Terminator did to robotics and AI what Jaws did to the Great White shark. This seems to have permeated western culture in a way that makes it very difficult
