   It's interesting that AWS chose(?) not to support this. Can you think of any reason why they wouldn't have? Perhaps it's harder to predict use cases in C++?

   I interned at a company that built low power water monitoring devices with a field lifetime of 10 years [0]. It looks like you're trying to hit that niche as well? I'm interested to hear how you handle comms, because my understand

   Yes even 'simple' devices these days will have devices (ADC/SPI etc) running in parallel often using DMA, multiple semi-independent clocks, possibly nested interrupts etc. Oh and the UART for some reason always, always has bu

   I watched the section from the talk [0] and there's no details given really, other than that it was done as a test of consistency. I've blown so many things up in production that I'm not sure if I could every pull the trigger

   My company (left unnamed to protect the guilty) starts our week on Thursday. Or sometimes Wednesday. But definitely not on Tuesday! Except a couple of places where it's Tuesday. It's juuuust close enough to ISO8601 where with a bi

    I really like the demos and landing page, I think it's a good product. I also thought your gsheet integration was interesting, if a bit rough around the edges. I really think that the integration is going to be the product here, rather

    > keeping memory "in the state of the world" This is what I do as well. If things aren't exactly where I left them, I'll not only never find them, but I'm likely to forget they ever existed.

    What a fantastic idea! I love using excalidraw and I've used it for making slides by just screenshotting and manually editing, this is so much nicer. I really like the example of following a flowchart as well. One small nit - in your v

    I didn't expect this to be so thorough, particularly around Windows compatibility (eg Windows will allow you to seek out of bounds but error on write, Linux errors on the seek) and unicode support. But even really simple things like I

    Very illegal here in Australia. I believe even possession is illegal. Technically even our SDRs need to be below some power threshold, though most probably don't conform.

    I think people who haven't participated in competitive sports don't realise the extent to which PEDs are used. It's easy to point at obvious examples like weightlifting, where many top level athletes get popped periodically,

    I suppose it depends on your application. I worked in embedded devices where stack was limited and the compiler was .... less than reliable about how it would manage passing a large struct to your function, which is why I mentioned passing

    Oh I thought that was a C99 addition? It's been a while since I've used them. Edit: struggling to find a source, though this GCC doc suggests it's C99 (but maybe that's only GCC?) - https://gcc.gnu.org/on

    I have found (in other areas - supply chain, hardware, mech eng, finance) that it's much easier for people to move from <field> in to tech than the other way around. I'm not sure if that's because other fields require p

    I've seen cases where people do things like my_func(/*arg1=*/val1,/*arg2=*/val2) And I suppose you could write a validator to make sure that this worked. Or using an anonymous structure in C99, or a named str
