I can understand the sentiment, but as someone who has the symptoms (though up until now I thought that's just a bad habit), I can assure you that this can be straining on social life, work life and relationships. Also better understan

Sibling comments might want to search for "smart mirror" ;) though they're usually an actual mirror with an embedded display.

I was under the impression that tuya is moving from esp8266 to rtl8710 for their IoT ecosystem (which in turn includes many third parties, who buy their firmware + smartphone apps + cloud infrastructure from them). This primarily affects th

It's used in embedded. For a server you have other consumers which are a pain yo power down. And then you need to get some interrupt. My home server can WoL on unicast packets, so that could be used as an "interrupt" to wake

Try programming an Arduino with interrupt handlers, sending the main loop into deep sleep. Of course this won't work for every program. And with current tech you're unlikely to drive FB with a warehouse full of arduinos ;) First D

I agree with you: It's a numbers game. There is a cost associated with driving up good reviews for a (bad) product. A website such as this has to cause higher costs for fake reviews than what they can reap via it. However, at some poin

That's an important point, no matter if the algorithm is some trained neural net or a ruleset written by hand. I'm often under the impression that moral standards are easier to ignore if "the computer says that X". E.g.

Fetching a one-TCP-package file via HTTP should take about 2 RTT_1 from a webserver (and ignoring connection tear down). The LB needs another RTT_2 to fetch data over a (hopefully) pre-established TCP connection from your webserver. Assumin

I don't get why this product gets so many upvotes. The only thing that I find refreshing about it is the use of an active DSP instead of a passive crossover network. Maybe the aesthetics. For the rest, way too expensive; says the guy w

What they say doesn't sound too bad, but: 1. They can say pretty much everything, but then behind the scenes work towards the opposing goal (and, 30% of every sale is a pretty good reason to do so) and 2. as others pointed out, Epic al

I'd imagine embedded being relatively far away from that kind of work (that's until you've got to add WiFi and/or IoT-cloud web interface - and happen to be one of the only few software people in the company).

I'm currently porting some "C99"-ish code, and I had a few instances for which I would have loved just use C11's `_Generic` to replace a macro-hell with statement expressions and accompanying `typeof()`s all over the pla

Lenses are actually not that irrelevant for this application. There is a huge difference between some cheap plastic and camera-grade glass. You don't want [excessive] chromatic aberrations, or [excessive] "God rays" (the Vive

Isn't the lighthouse system relatively open? I recall the analog receiver circuitry is relatively simple, and Valve cooperated with an IC manufacturer to get rid of the analog stuff (or, more precisely: move it into an IC). The IC was

You're right, but: In the unlikely case a random person on the internet succeeds (who knows what happens in the next 5 years, or who s/he is?), I am out of 800US$. For something that I think is a good idea. In case of 800m US$, we

It was about the market being difficult to enter. If you disagree, prove me: I hereby pledge to buy one CPU (needs to be a custom design) + mainboard designed and manufactured by supernova87a, and am willing to pay 800 US$, due 3m after del

See my edit. I don't have a CRT anymore, so I'm afraid if you're interested in refuting or confirming that claim, you have to test it yourself ;)

Nice list! But I'm curious how you plan to improve the comparability? Static analysis covers a wide range, and I'd dare to say a beautifier is a little bit different than a rule checker, which is again a little bit different than

Ignoring the obvious "citation needed" for the $20k, think about what that money is spent on. There is some pretty nice stuff among that list, like public roads or schools.

Housing is the largest issue here, and probably needs gov correction. OTOH, basic goods becoming more expensive means producing them becomes more attractive which leads to lower prices or better wages (because less people will be willing to
