This might have been a single Apple developer trying to get shit done. They might have had a problem with Intel software and just said "do it like Qualcomm did it" and provided them with a snippet of code.

So is your development plans going forward to not develop native apps? Or use a wrapper like electron?

The article mentions that the old Intel baseband processor was running ARM. It seems like Intel is slowly trying to migrate all their processors to x86, given that they migrated their Management Engine from ARC to x86 a few years ago and n

6502 is also what the Terminator ran. We should thank our time traveler saviors for stopping the Furby uprising from happening.

That kind of stuff comes up every so often. I heard rumors in the early 2000s about Microsoft implementing a version of Office that was more commandline oriented (this was when people were getting sick of their "smart" menubar, b

Reminds me of a former coworker's Emacs workflow. He organized his work in orgmode. He used emacs for email, jabber, and irc. He would copy paste new tasks between email and orgmode, and he could copy paste the code snippets he was w

Ok, so I don't think I've ever worked in a company that fully implemented Agile effectively but in a previous job one team decided to just use an irc channel and at a set time everyone would post a short one line statement about w

cross-compiling isn't the major issue. It's the toolkit. Yeah a cross-compiling C/C++ environment is fairly straightforward to do especially if you just want to do a commandline utility that can be done with the C or C++ st

Wait, what? Young people are not buying TVs anymore? I understand not watching terrestrial TV but I've always had like a TV plugged in to my laptop to play games and stream youtube/twich. More recently I just bought a roku TV a

I'm not sure if that's universal. My mom was a phone+TV person until all of her friends migrated to Whatsapp and Facebook. Nowadays she's on her smartphone a lot more than the landline. I guess the TV is still always on. M

Your message sounds kind of ominous but I'd like to point out hanlon's razor. The NSA sounds like another public sector organization that just tries to spend us much money as it can to justify itself getting so much money. The p

It's a byproduct of how many people you have to answer to. I was kind of having discussion with a coworker about an app that had a lot of features that made it seem kind of cluttered but useful. I think small projects can make bolder

Are there cost effective ways for hobbyists to solder BGAs? I remember back in the day, it wasn't that expensive to get an etching kit and create some single layer prototype boards but they all used through hole components. Now-a-day

That's true for any developer of embedded software. Any one who makes hardware of any kind will avoid trying to put any GPLv3 licensed code on their hardware.

There are other issues at play when it comes to helping out remote team members. When you're co-located with someone you develop better comradery with that person. You'll know them better and they'll come right to your desk

How much does it cost you to use an EC2 instance for torrenting? Doesn't that eat up a lot of bandwidth? Any guides you recommend following? ...I am asking for a friend.

Hey I did the same thing late last year. I gave up a bungalow I payed $1200 a month (bought it 2011) for for a one bedroom apartment I pay $2400 a month for. Yay! But I live alone so a 50% boost in income offsets the doubling in housing
