It would help to generalise the conclusions if a few different types of workloads were tested. Even as simple as a an application with a heavy skew toward lots of small allocations, and same for large allocations.

"We're all in on open source." [1] Thanks for taking the effort to check. :) I believe this kind of attitude from MS is pretty problematic for Github. [1] https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/04/microso

Mine is still going strong. Second Apple product I ever bought (first was an iPod many, many years back), and since I've been a bit of a convert! The battery only lasts about 2-3 hours now, so I replaced it with a new model last year.

I thought the "face recognition" on Android 3 years ago was 2D and easily fooled with a likeness printed on a piece of paper? Not exactly equivalent, like a lot of "specs" that don't stand up to deeper inspection. &

I'm curious what you use them for? I've always prefered WASD for directions (too many games in my youth!), and always saw the arrow keys as a waste of space, too far away to use regularly.

And be careful that you don't break real code trying to fix something obscure that's never likely to be seen in real code.

Which no doubt comes from the term "master copy", which has a long established, and quite precise meaning. Choosing a different meaning arbitrarily(or actually, quite deliberately) is disingenuous at best.

Each member has the option to use the client of their choice (IRCCloud, their own bouncer, web client, desktop applications, etc.), each with varying cost, effort, and convenience. With Discord, everyone is locked into Discord. P.S. You onl

Why would they need to? IRCCloud does that for them (the joys of SaaS).

A side-effect, rather than the primary goal. There is a not-so-subtle difference.

It's a little sad when you have to divert your best and brightest away from advancing the state of civilization, to merely defending what you already have . Obviously that will still advance the state of the art in some areas.

And you can write dissectors in Lua. Super handy for quick/dirty jobs.

There is a such a thing as an Ethernet tap (basically, you tap one pair to Rx on a NIC, and if you want both ways you need another NIC)... but it's tricky to avoid impedance mismatch etc, and not feasible at all for Gigabit Ethernet. T

Yes, I didn't include it as it's not well suited to IoT "out of the box" due to lack of wireless drivers, and very limited network stack. I do enjoy it's simplicity and have used it for many non-networked projects (

There already exist a number of more suitable operating systems for these purposes that require much less resources e.g. NuttX, RIOT, Contiki, Zephyr. Running this requires at least 128k of SRAM and 512k of flash just for the OS, so you&#x2

You could exec from SRAM if you have enough to spare (larger Cortex M4/M7 uCs have 256k+, RetroBSD claims to only need 128k of that).

I disagree. The indentation of the extra #s makes it much easier to scan the document structure with your eyes. #5 would only make sense if you're only using your markdown as a source for translating to some other format and you want t

That's certainly a valid approach, but I've never actually seen those used in practice. I guess, like me, people are lazy and prefer typing just int, which is guaranteed to be at least 16 bits, and is generally the fastest int typ

None of these are hacks! They are fully fledged, intentional, features.

I tend to use int for loops (where I know there will always be less than 2^16 iterations!), return codes etc. purely because it allows the compiler to pick a fast word size everywhere (e.g. if somebody compiles your code for AVR, and your l

"printf" will always have it's place, because when things are hosed, there's a good chance you can't push stuff to network, but things have to be really hosed to stop you pushing some chars to a UART. > I mean

I've been using it a bit at work.. The thing that stops me fully adopting it is how long it takes to start, and then it's very laggy for the first few seconds after that. It is a very nice editor once it's running though for

Well, those excuses are garbage everywhere. :/ All the extra electricity burned around the world would easily pay for more highly skilled devs to write a native application (source: plucked from thin air ;) ).
