I also have a R3, it's very nice, understated (doesn't look like a transformer's idea of a PC) and very, very quiet. And I'm the same, I regularly upgrade bits, it's easy, and quite cheap too.. DDR4 memory is quite

To be honest, I'm perhaps a bit 'special' but my linux workstation is i7 5930k (6 cores, 12 threads) overclocked to 4.5Ghz, with 64GB of ram, and 2 BenQ 32" 4K screen. I'm reasonably sure I can find something that b

Not necessarily so. I use a big case (Fractal Design R series), with 4 * 140mm fan. The case has thick noise insulation, and the big fans turn (always) very slowly (500rpm, just above stalling) so it's completely inaudible. A lot bette

Their paying version is actually quite acceptably priced really, so if I was a reader, I'd probably already be paying... What irritates me is all the others who think they all deserve £9.99 a month. Everyone wants £9.99 a month, even

Well I tried, and I didn't get a magical result like some of these guys @reddit, but it perhaps IS a bit better... I'll persevere... I owe you 10k worth of HN 'gold' :-)

Actually I have to say I'm very sensitive to certain noises; like lots of people talking, or kids screaming etc will drive me really mad after a certain level, it's not technically 'pain' but I really have to go away, fa

I've had a 'frequency' in my left ear for YEARS. It's not painful, and doesn't seem to affect my hearing or ability to concentrate (I learned to 'blank' it) but it's definitely 'there'. Of c

I moved to the UK in 99; At the time I worked for a startup and was getting around 12000FF 'brut' (pre taxes, outside paris (Sophia)). At the time, the GBP was around 10FF (roughtly, in fact, more like 11-12). When I moved the the

I left France in 1999, I have zero regrets, and zero plans to move back. I was sure at the time that it was next to impossible to actually 'do' something in France, because of the straitjacket that is the state, mostly. And has &#

Good old days when apple was cool. I was a mac dev since I turned 15 (1985) until about 2007, when it started to be all trendy. Before that time, there were few people, so it was 'easy' if you were good to be the tree standing out

yeah right, so my official emails will get spammed to death forever by the newbiest kid who can grep the whois database. Of course you need to use a disposable email for pretty much /everything/ these days.

I can relate to the article; I've been working for a year to make a new ARM based SoC architecture for a vendor, mostly for industrial purpose. It's already quite a chunk of work. Just designing the clock tree, pinmux, fancy DMA -

I don't disagree with the fact gpiolib is a good idea etc, however more often than not, if I'm hired to make a firmware for a particular device, the work required to tailor a driver for best efficiency is worth it, and will be min

I'm not a lawyer, but if you duplicate feature, or if your software is in the same field, or heavily inspired by the one you work on, they probably have ground to have rights on it, regardless of where/how you wrote it... When I w

Nice article; however, in 'real life' I always try to do without having to use all of these APIs if I can get away with it. The overhead is quite massive, even with something as simple as the GPIO library. Also, I'd rather us

I personally hate nand. I do embedded stuff all day long, and you spend more time dealing with NAND issues than anything else in the dev of a product. It not only ship to you with bad blocks, but will fail if you write to it, it will also f
