So as a cheater you intercept those snippets, lets them do their magic in a dedicated address space that has the same client code loaded?

In France there's the Dune of Pilat ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_of_Pilat ). It's really nice to visit. 110 meters high, right next to the coast. It's just one giant dune though :)

Subdomains are excluded: the same-origin policy prevents that. You can still request resources (like images) from other domains, but usually there's no direct way to access the response to such requests. So you can't just fetch so

Its now built into google translate (at least on my Android, no idea about iOS). It works offline and I've used it occasionally while staying in Hongkong. Was pretty useful.

I don't use yocto or buildroot, so I can't really comment on either. I also put together my own updating mechanism which uses A/B booting (so it boots from partition A, updates into B, makes that active and then tries to boot

Not exactly for the same use case, but I created info-beamer hosted ( https://info-beamer.com ). Its a digital signage platform, so more for visual results than interfacing with hardware, but it's fully programmable in Lua. Y

That's not the same as having a high level description of the concepts used. For details I can still dive into the details later.

Isn't there a Cloudflare geo-location header that you can trivially activate and map to EU/Non-EU? That would result in no additional latency except for the worker itself.

I wonder if that doesn't open up similar problems: Pasting the mail into the gpg command line program prints out the clear text to the terminal. There are all kinds of magic control sequences that might be in that clear text. Isn'

Is there a more self-contained way of running trained models on devices like the Pi? Almost all tutorials I've come across always require me to install a lot of Python dependencies. I'd love to have classifiers installed as a sing

I don't really see a market for that. Most desktop games these days are handled by store fronts like Steam, GOG, itch.io, Origin or the Blizzard Launcher that already handle updates for you. But it's certainly an interesting topic

Can confirm. SQLite is great. I've written an e-commerce website for a customers a few years ago. Most of the data was static and only updated a couple times per day in bulk. It was easy to do the main import/data update completel

Nice. That looks way more polished. Thanks for linking! Upon further reading: I didn't realize that there is a TRIM command. I search briefly and missed that. Neat.

By default no: It's a block device, so it has no idea what the file system on top is doing. Mounting the same file system in rw mode twice would result in instant corruption unless the file system is built for that. I'm not sure s

Good question. I actually didn't test that at all. I mostly added that as I saw a few mostly empty blocks written and compression lowered the total space usage a bit.

Thanks for your response. Interesting to know that this is indeed possible. foundationdb looks amazing from what I've seen and played with so far.

I wonder if this would also be a use case for foundationdb. All the "clustering" would be built-in and performance seems to be quite good ( https://apple.github.io/foundationdb/performance.html ), although prob

Coroutines are also useful for some of the visual code I wrote: You can have functions that run through an animation, yielding for every frame. Or of course you can handle loading, displaying and teardown for content in one function. Pretty

info-beamer pi (the software that runs in the Pi and drives the output) doesn't expose OpenGL directly at a very low level. Instead it provides a higher level API to draw and move images, fonts and videos around (see https:/&#x2F

Supply for the "normal" Pi has never been a problem AFAIK. Only the Pi Zero has these problems. But as you noted: We don't sell prepackaged hardware: Only the software and service. Shipping/Warranty/Return handling

Looking good. Once customers realize that our platform is far more powerful that just throwing a browser at everything, they get really excited. You can fully automate everything with the API, build perfectly smooth 60fps content and even p

Transmission of updates can be quite small: For the info-beamer hosted ( https://info-beamer.com/hosted ) OS, we also do A/B booting. Updates are implemented using zsync. The initial installation of the OS is simply done
