Yup. Long long (2016 ish) ago I released an Unreal Engine 4 plugin that let people embed chromium embedded framework views into the engine via textures, so you could make fancy HUDs or whatever. Epic Games was kind enough to give me a devel

Incredible, my university class reg system had un-sanitized input for the class search field so if you knew the SQL you could find exactly how full a class was and dump the whole table of classes without needing to wait for your reg to open

State management in flutter can be done in so many ways so I get why it could feel complex, we’ve used Hooks a lot and it simplified a ton of stuff. Can also go the whole BLOC route too. Having issues with setState means you’re doing someth

AtomVM is super fun to prototype MCU projects with. It’s what I tend to reach for over micropython etc. For beefier machines that have SoCs it’s Nerves usually. And recently a project called Popcorn uses the AtomVM to run BEAM VM code in th

I have a version (probably not exactly the same software for the head unit) of this on an SGI O2 sitting around including all the environment scripts and the HTML manuals. I have a tar.gz of it that I should upload to an archive location.

I always saw it like this: - If you're building an engine without a game in mind, you're just going to end up with tools you don't use. - If you have a game you want to see to the end, and make an engine for it, you're g

Great summary, it does indeed! Thanks for taking the time to reply

As a newer user of Flutter I found Riverpod to be extremely heavy and have a lot more mental overhead than using stateless widgets with Hooks. Any particular reason you personally prefer Riverpod?

Reading this line made me so mad. I've been a huge fan of lower power ARM CPUs... this literally just halt/hampers progress in this country. I can't believe we have to put up with 4 full years of this crap. I would have purch

I'm really perplexed by this choice... at my current employer we only deploy developer SSH keys to devices with DEV or QA firmware. Prod images are signed and have SSH entirely disabled. We have a separate piece of software to remotely

At a minimum you'd want to encrypt your rootfs using secrets that are hard to extract from secure elements. To go a step further you can employ something like ARM's TrustZone to hide away the sensitive operations (bootloader, decr

the inability to make the horrible integrated shopping experience go away forced me to Kagi about a year ago. So much cleaner.

Oh there’s almost certainly a ton of loss, that said it’s definitely still super fun to play with. And makes me excited for better advancements in that field. The chip I’m playing with is the NAC1080 - supposedly designed for small lock mot

I love energy harvesting it’s one of my favorite topics in embedded land. I’ve been toying with a chip that harvests power from an NFC phone near by and it’s super neat to have a microcontroller just do its thing with no direct attached pow

They want everything to be privatized so they can rake in that sweet, sweet lobbyist money. There's zero reason why taxes, for the majority of citizens, isn't just a postcard you get in the mail and confirm against your own earnin

Having dealt with MPEG-LA before, it makes me so wildly angry that a company composed of nothing but lawyers can suck money out of any product that wants to use a widely supported, arguably critical video codec. The process for reporting to

My favorite part of the year is when everyone needs to re-write their OKRs/Goals before review season, because we ended up have to do actual work that related to the end-user product, and in general most humans cannot predict the futur

as a kinesthetic learner I really cannot say how invaluable the interactive widgets are, so wonderfully done.

There's a lot of thought that goes into things like the greebles on a spaceship, like the shape language, the values and hues, etc. Impressionism might seem "random" like what a model would output, but the main difference is

Last time I checked that’s called gatekeeping. Neocities is a ton easier to try for “non-engineers”- it even has a discovery feed and a WYSIWYG editor…

The Erlang runtime and EPMD takes care of this for you. Every node in the cluster gets a name, so you can address it directly, and, every PID is unique across nodes on a cluster, so you can send messages to processes (actors) no matter wher

Just based on how horrible of a company Nestle is, I usually encourage everyone to investigate some other options to make espresso at home. Side Note: Personally, making my coffee is a nice process in the morning to kick my brain out of tha

I disagree entirely. Having written everything form little tools for my own use to entire linux based firmware for small embedded machines, Erlang and Elixir are powerful tools. I genuinely find Elixir fun to write in a way no other languag

Triplebyte (one of the best hiring experiences I ever had) gave me this during their initial interview. They dropped an archive of a medium-ish codebase to my machine, that had failed unit tests. My task was to simply fix the code so the te
