I'm currently in a similar spot, but am very surprised you did not mention MicroG, which is an open reimplementation of the Google APIs. There seem to be some issues with GCM (or, more precisely, the newer replacement - uhm, FCM?), but

Just to be clear: The first half should be obvious to the asker, and you're totally right about it. But the real reason I upvoted you is the "All of that said:" paragraph. That's the real lesson to be learned here.

For a beginner, I'd get a decent, pre-built guitar amp that "just works" with decent sound and only basic controls (as opposed to a digital amp with millions of mediocre effects). You can always add some DIY effect pedals, or

Don't they make these ICs with I2S? Then all you need is something that digitally interfaces with your source (eg toslink, usb) and "unpacks" the PCM data and sends it out via i2s. Edit: look for example at TI TAS5756M, TAS32

Oh, that one looks neat. I've got another Ali module with integrated Bluetooth for use in my study room. Theoretically the parts have decent specs, but the module has a high noise level and the speaker makes a loud popping sound with a

Hm... A non-optimizing compiler? Nice hobby, but I don't see the point of this. Even folks doing safety critical stuff (like in failure = dead people) use -O0 and are craving for some optimizations. E.g. why no DCE? Constant propagatio

That really depends on your load. I once feared a huge performance regression when a test took 2 minutes instead of 40s. Turned out one instance ran on a i7-6xxx machine, and the other on a i7-9x0. Normalizing for the different clock, the n

While this point of view is a neat idea and part of me really likes it, I'm afraid those people just want to make as much cash as possible. Also, if they make 750M$, that's 750M$ they deprived other parts of society of (e.g. app d

A. reminds me of JS objects. B. is to expected, and I think it might be useful; e.g. we prevent accidental copying of singletons in C++ via operator= (T &other) = delete; . I'd guess you could do something similar in python. To

I wasn't too sure on some of the easy questions, but this swap... Oh god, my "someday, this is going to shoot someone in the foot"-sense started to tingle.

Not to be splitting hairs, but isn't the mechanical Z1 more like a first gen computer, making this second gen? (This doesn't make CSIRAC a less impressive feat ;)

If it was my kid, I'd use any single board computer or an old laptop (pro: integrated keyboard and screen, e.g. Dell D630), and install a Linux that boots straight into QB64: https://www.qb64.org/ I didn't test if

I usually shudder at duck typing and/or GC for anything bigger. Both have the ugly tendency to explode in your face at runtime. The first type of error doesn't occur in C++ (at runtime), and in the other instance I feel like havin

This. If you're going to malloc/free equally sized objects often but randomly, a pool allocator can be a great improvement. With real time requirements you often care about your response time or worst case execution time. In some

I know where you're coming from, I did the same just two gens earlier (i7-2600, r9 290, WQHD) and am quite happy with that. But: That's back then... Today the situation is different, since the two can actually compete.

I doubt that number, too. Our CPU-bound workload runs "only" 20% faster on an i7-6xxx than it did on an i7-920 (calculated for equal clocks; due to the higher clock it was actually about 60% faster, which caused me to do the math

That's probably true. I admit the first time I got in contact with ThinkPads was around 2006; so whatever was affordable for students back then might have stuck (tbh, I never had a TP until a year ago; and the Helix something entirely

I think ThinkPads are renown for the earlier products (eg T410 or the x200 series). Much like the Dell D630 used to be a Linux favourite. The BIOS sleep state issue seems common with modern Lenovos though (my 2nd Gen Helix is also a mess),

They've been doing that quite a while now. Funnily, they still let me use my workplace, (sometimes) but never my home address. Just more incentive to move away from Google (which is sad, because the services are great; I'd even pa

I imagine if you have a list of welding points and feed that list to both the assembly and inspection robots, stuff like this happens. Especially in case the robots share code and e.g. have the same parse error when loading your list of wel

Oh, this +1. I ported it to another C dialect (test case for the compiler) and found those parts I touched well structured and easy to understand.

What's the purpose of this? Seems like "I want to build that" to me. So wings would defeat the primary purpose - but once the initial goal is reached, I personally would give it a shot (for the pure fun of doing it and see if

I'm not aware this is possible. The git commits form some kind of depended hash tree, so you can not "rewrite history" without screwing up that tree. Meaning: If someone altered the code on GitHub, the current trunks hash wou
