Theres been some work on the firmware for the Realtek RTD2660H LCD driver that's also 8051 based. I believe pine/the community worked on that. They may have some how tos / pointers.

Is this not more of a shell than an os? Nevertheless an interesting idea. Unix pipes are basically concatenative, I've often thought how much mileage you could get out of going more in this direction. Having said that. This has a lot o

Recording off the TV isn't pirating. Why do you think they were allowed to sell blank tapes and later hard drive recorders? If he's selling copies then maybe. But for personal consumption that's legal. The term pirate is alre

Was he a pirate? Or did he just record off TV?

He was born in 1890. Wasn't it/ negro basically accepted terminology back then? As such, we can't really complain when people use acceptable words of the time.

What has complex code got to do with it? Trusting trust was based on old C. You don't get much more minimal than that.

Yes. If you want to do foo. You don't need framework bar to load baz or call home to qux. That's all added complexity that isn't inherent to the task. So we aren't talking about not doing bar. We are talking about not do

I think you're being overly hostile. The parents question seems reasonable to my non designy mind.

It's a culture. If I said a word came from the hacker culture, is it relevant that hacker isn't a language and hackers aren't an ethnic group?

>Called a ‘snake’ (slang in Dutch) Disappointingly this isn't the origin of the English word slang. It seems to be of Viking origin.

Ah but maybe having an iPhone causes you to be more exposed to financial crashes. Or maybe the type of person that buys iPhones also spends too much on other items causing them to be over leveraged when a financial crash does occur.

How is all regulation anti competitive? Is it anti competitive that your product does what you say it does and is safe? Isn't that just levelling the playing field by allowing consumers to make rational choices? What about regulation d

Same with medium. Why?

No. I politely covered BSOs "very cheap bikes that aren't really designed for long term use" You want cheap and reliable, not cheap with a load of doodads to make it seem expensive.

Well maybe it's just the stuff I do but even if you do something like 'address + offset * scale' I still want to group that to make it obvious 'address + (offset * scale)' The former technically works but it's

Well I'm not African so I don't know. I'm thinking that in the west we either have very cheap bikes that aren't really designed for long term use, and more expensive bikes tend to use fancier parts. Off the top of my hea

What would be nice is setting up as much manufacturing as possible in Africa for making bikes designed for Africa. Bike maintenance isn't a skill issue. It's an issue of specialised tools and hard to get spares. Talk to your own G

I've always seen it formatted as 24:00 to clarify it's 24 hour format and to mirror 12 hour time.

Yes, but this was programmers, not doctors. I mean I find it humourous, I just have visions of discussions about 'killing' patients.

There's only the optionality because of the pushback though. One element of the free software culture is pushback against monolithic software. It allows you to swap out components in this way. Without that culture there wouldn't b

Define library. Surely a library is a collection of functions, not a collection of files, so you could have a single file library. I don't know at what size a collection of functions becomes a library, but I don't think anyone doe
