For anyone confused, currently you have a choice of either "Standard Environment", which is Python 2.7 only, or "Flexible Environment" which allows you to choose Python 2.7, Python 3.6, or your own Python runtime [1][2].

Unfortunately a large portion of the language spec is optional so it's not portable between PLC manufacturers, and implementation quality varies significantly. Source: it's my dayjob. :(

> Many developers implement this logic using simple switch statement. However, after about 7 - 10 cases such dispatch mechanism becomes quite inefficient, and its inefficiency grows with number of new messages being introduced. It's

TL;DR Avoid anything that even sounds like it might involve FTDI unless you can absolutely prove supply chain from one end to the other (near impossible). There are some good alternatives like SiLabs CP2102 around.

For now, at least [1][2]. See the rest of that thread.. llvm guys really don't want asm goto, and kernel really wants it. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/14/724 [2] https://lkml.org&#x2F

You, but in the case where the shorthand is required, the suffix (W in this case) is also dropped, or at least has been every time I've seen or used it.

I'm involved in a project using the LMS5xx.. but on a PLC, so I envy your Java microcontroller! Have you seen SICK's new MRS 6000? Range of 200 m, and 15 degrees vertical (15 degrees)! Pricing is similar to LMS5xx.

Yes, my university switched all 100-level CS papers from Java to Python quite a number of years back (~10). Then came 200-level EE classes, straight into C on bare-metal. :D

IRC is a good substitute for being in the same room, but you still need more formal discussions recorded in issues and pull requests (the recorded part is quite important if you project is around for more than a few weeks).

It's more than that too, workflows, CI, release process are all built around GitHub (your release artifacts automatically show up on GitHub when you push a tag right?). GitLab doesn't even have "releases" in the GitHub s

Plenty of systems still have less RAM than that (hint: microcontroller). Unsurprisingly they're overwhelmingly C.

AMD is the clear winner on Linux simply because the official drivers are in the mainline kernel. No more dealing with NVIDIA binary blobs, and DKMS + the breakage caused when NVIDIAs shim is out of step with the particular kernel you want t

Did you actually read what he wrote? He agrees that's what the standard says, thus the standard is not workable in reality, so he goes with GCC's (defined in documentation) implementation. It doesn't "just happen to work

And that is how we get #if defined(_THIS_THING_SOME_COMPILER_DEFINES) && !defined(__BUT_NOT_THIS_ONE_THAT_COMPILER_X_DEFINES) soup ;)

Yeah, I can't see many C/C++ types swallowing that. The cost of writing a single function tends to be much lower than the cost of maintaining an external dep, as leftpad proved.

grep is pretty handy, -C 5 or so will get you a nice amount of context. Maybe GibBreakPls has better tricks.

You can also pipe tshark capture to the Wireshark GUI on your machine through ssh in realtime, e.g. `ssh host.example.com 'tshark -i eth0 -w - -F pcapng -f "not tcp port 22"' | wireshark -k -i -`

The problem is that I can't afford the services of a lawyer, or a data protection officer, for a non-profit project. Especially not to satisfy regulations made in a foreign land far away from my own. So the only option left on the tabl

So you then need to make sure that dataset is at least as resilient as your cold backups. That's not exactly a trivial problem in most cases.

The new interface is close to plain english in most common cases, so I'd say it's a significant win.

C++ ABI compatibility across such a wide range of compilers and platforms is the real story of Qt. The excellent API/source compatibility is just the cherry on top (no doubt a very welcome one!).

Until you look at the home screen.. and the hardware buttons... Samsung's problem is that they cloned the iPhone look and feel (aka design).
