I'm not an ornithologist but I think birds integrate some onboard magnetic compass sensors. So, it would be interesting if they can pick up the magnetic part of an electromagnetic wave of the radio. Seems very low likelihood but would

I could see there being an issue with too much forced collusion if companies are too small to operate. Like how a lot of companies put all the blame on a profitless, employee-less "subsidiary" and say "oh no, we can't pa

My issue with your comment is that you're taking the humanity out of it. A person or group of people decided to commit crimes. Go to jail. If a group of people hired a scapegoat, that group still would've conspired to commit crime

Right. And I'm not IoT so I don't care. Could be fun to play with helium, though.

At a trade show I saw a chip coming out with DDR3L. Imagine a 2025 chip with RAM from 15? years ago. They said it's all that they needed. Probably have a perpetual license or something.

Depends on the task. My favorite example is a chip that has a lot more than a microcontroller onboard, but it's an old v7m. I need the rest and have to struggle with what they give. If it was RV, power PC, mips, whatever, I'd have

As an almost exclusively microcontroller user of Arm's products, a big meh from me. v8 is still slowly rolling out. M33 is making headway but I was really hoping for M55 to be the bigger driver.

Yeah when I checked for updates in the GUI it found nothing. Had to download manually. Though actually I didn't update the extension pack. Doubt it'd help but I should check.

I updated to the latest (7.1.8?) and that fixed the inability to use 3d acceleration. But yes I've found they have a terrible release "process" that seems to not include testing. I tried switching to VMWare but A) broadcom m

As a habitual STM user professionally,... Yes. Not the highest performance but high enough and good peripherals. The blue pill is a STM.

A for application. R for real-time. M for microcontroller. Orbis? Neoverse? How is this a clear identity? Maybe unique, but not clear.

Quick search shows the v1.1 at least it's just a microcontroller and a uSD slot. So I'd imagine it's just about support. With all the ESP32 boards out there, sky's the limit on word behavior you could get from flaky hard

Much agreement with the others that there's too much expectation. I rented a lime scooter for the first time last year. But, I messed up my VPN settings so I had no Internet. There was no way to tell the scooter I'm done. Even tho

While yes use it or lose it, 40 total MHz at 2 GHz is reasonably narrow.

I don't get it. The first example in JS vs Java looks very similar. Now all those other code blocks, they certainly have more going on but idk how that compares to JS. And to answer the questions: A completable future is something that

I've shared before that TH and I fundamentally disagree on the way to communicate. I think what they're trying to say is that PCIe is being tunneled through the USB stack. I believe they're both packet-based protocols so on t

No mercy. Had to deal with one when looking for apartments and it made up whatever it thought I wanted to be right. Good thing they still had humans around in person when I went for a tour.

Yeah there's no format to support that way. Maybe I'm more biased towards numeric data (sensor readings, etc), but I never have to worry about libraries and dependencies to say data = (uint32_t *)read(f); Or data = struct.unpack..

No like the final product that's on the shelf. Assuming I'm seeing that picture right. It's just lettuce. Where it's grown shouldn't dictate how it's sold.

Of course they say "it is what it is". They get paid the big bucks to steer the ship then comically look around for someone else when people are upset. Also a very Farquaad "that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.&q

On the one hand, great for them for many reasons. On the other, that looks like a lot of plastic packaging.

Hmmm if they're just internal tools, why not just an array of structs? No parsing needed. Can have optionals. Can't go faster than nothing.

You risk a false equivalency (ex: look at what water did to cotton candy. Imagine the damage to a human. We'd dissolve) but your question is valid. Even on HN this has been discussed. According to past discussions, water, which is in t

Yeah I would've expected that like other companies they'd buy sparingly and see what happens. That said, 42 units seems low for them, so maybe they nominally ship hundreds/thousands of that device and are doing a "magic

Sorry yes I had a comma there and then deleted it. I don't remember why but I remember doing it.

In school we were taught that the OS does the printf. I think the professors were just trying to generalize to not go on tangents. But, once I learned that no embedded libc variants had printf just no output path, it got a lot easier to fig

Looking back on this, lots of typos. I must've been really tired. I hope the point still came across.

I didn't understand why these people resign. It looks cowardly. I'm not in a position to need to make that decision for myself but I would hope that if I ever am, I'll be dragged kicking and screaming.

I would argue the even deeper problem is that it's implementation defined. Should be in the spec and they should conform to the spec. That's why I'm so paranoid and zeroize things myself. Too much hassle to remember what is o

Wish I could comment on the routing like others but the render is stuck at 96.2% for me. Nothing else on the page shows it on my phone so I assume that's the problem. (And of course nothing in the log of error tabs). I think just looki
