What’s the benefit? Rust actually is a nice language. C++ requires deciding which features to use? I don’t know modern C++ but it seems to have a kind of cult like indoctrination where everything else is wrong and only each persons flavor i

What about the rest of the C suite and board?

Surely one of those should be the person who induced their demise?

To be fair the syntactic sugar that is impl Trait could be done as a generic parameter with restrictions as I understand it? The concept of impl Trait for parameters and returns seems intricately tied to Future trait. It’s interesting to se

Maybe they will finally make vhdl 2008 a part of the lite edition and stop knee capping it. Maybe create some updated parts that better fit the middle price range area instead of solely focusing on mega agilex parts. Their competitors don&#

no_std rust then which has no i/o or heap, and what misra rules would there even need to be?
339.
by bfrog 3y ago
Misra is a specification for languages to specify and avoid undefined or underdefined behavior as I understand it, thus avoiding bugs. What if a language has no undefined behavior and dynamic allocation is easily disabled. What would misra

I think its amazing that all these tools being rewritten in rust are likely being done by people that likely do not typically code in C/C++ but did code something like this in rust. To be that says Rust is more easily accessible as a l

This is fantastic and definitely hits a few points that confused me when I first started as well. I remember definitively pounding the keyboard in frustration over at least one of these

Is it such a terrible thing? If there’s money to make it happen then by all means. Know my home town though it could plow through all that money and get all of one neighborhood worth of service lines replaced. Atrocious inefficiency would b

How about cutting 100% of the idiotic board who cost them their business?

Honestly feels like many of the large tech companies are slowly reverting back to full stack integration, ala Sun, DEC, etc of yesteryear. Hardware, OS, and language all tied to a particular company. Kind of a sad outcome of x86 losing its

Zephyr is a lot more complicated than ThreadX and has been trying to get safety certified for many years now. It does have a really nice testing and board package story though, along with many other features ThreadX doesn't have. Like

It'll be really interesting to see how this shakes out in terms of other open rtos projects given a safety certified RTOS is now available under a nice license with wide architecture support.

Reading this and I can’t help but think this is entirely predictable at this point? One particular country seems especially eager to steal any and all industrial information it can.

Good, I wish the US had unions like this. Our wages have been ever whittled away at by inflation and lack of raises.

What about the toolchain being used, is that some how understood to be part of the result? This seems to be often overlooked. In nix the toolchain is considered an input I believe and taken into the output derivations hash. Meaning a toolch

Rpm assumes deps and toolchain and doesn’t prevent accidental dependencies last I used it, admittedly many years ago. Are builds somehow done in a limited chroot now? Is the toolchain version dependency tracked and managed?

It’s funny I was just talking to someone about a-b images slots and boots the other day and how they had written this test suite because there were so many potential places where partial updates could be interrupted. Thousands of test point

Arguably western car companies have been asleep for much longer than that in terms of the products and quality offered.

I'm sure contributions are welcome to solve the problem

C++ is horrendous when it comes to backwards compatibility and builds. If you believe that you won't run into a compiler bug in a large enough sampling of C++ code to build against you are misrepresenting reality or haven't ever l

Choosing to stay in a collective household seems to be frowned upon but really it depends on the dynamic. There’s something to be said about having children close to grandparents.

Espressif always seems to be ahead of the game. The premade compliant modules, shifting to riscv, providing a rust sdk, and so on. I like Nordic products in some ways but they are becoming very complex and not necessarily in all the right w

Great, because we could really use some modern nuclear power plants here. We do not have the natural resources to provide power base with wind/solar alone and in all likelihood even with large storage banks it would be very hard to com

It’s painful with c and c++ as well, the tool chain/libraries a distributor provides are almost never the ones you want to develop with as they are often ancient

Maybe the world would be better off with just a few less bobble heads. Clearly the job market thinks so
