I have worked with a very similar setup to prototype devices for a customer. One of the peripherals controlled was also a pump and interestingly, our interface looked almost exactly like what is being proposed here. In terms of hardware, I

Did he continue collecting scrap metal though? Maybe this was his true passion.

That is interesting. I have a T14s with 5850U. The high-dpi display was tough nut to crack for me -- I want to use i3, so I need Xorg. Of course, there is also Sway, which is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for i3 on wayland. But for s

I watched the video when this was last submitted and he makes some interesting points with many of which I disagree. Images as illustrations in the code: Yeah, sure, it would be nice to have the Vitruvian Man in the code, but it's also

The time horizon is crucial here. Will it increase profit in the current fiscal year? Likely. Will it drive away the employees that have other options, which are often the ones who help building valuable products? Also likely.

Am I being cynic here or is this just another attempt at total surveillance? It solves a problem that does not exist, will likely be mandatory at some point and is executed by a defense company.

Came here wanting to mention The Practice of Programming. It seems to be out of print, but I got my hands onto a copy of it some years ago and really enjoyed the clarity, humility and technical depth (mainly in the later parts) of the piece

This reminds me of Jaimie Mantzel, a skilled engineer and builder who is clearly a nonconformist, and sometimes I feel like I'm detecting hints of madness (or enlightenment that I am unable to grasp) in his videos. The man has built re

Indeed! I have been playing OpenRA with friends semi-regularly and it is excellent, very stable and an overall great playing experience.

May I ask what audio interface you use for recording? I want one mic preamp and one direct input for guitar, and my Roland Octacapture that I am otherwise happy with is not supported on Linux.

I guess if you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail, even if you are Alan Turing! Tangentially related, I have recently become aware of a sound similar to a bag of potato chips being crushed coming from the rear wheel of my mountain

While I applaud the use of novel techniques to approach problems that have a traditional solution, I am reluctant to believe that they can outperform the traditional approaches for a certain type of problem (e.g. state estimation for system

For well-written embedded software (processor peripheral drivers and OS concepts) I can recommend ChibiOS [1] and libopencm3 [2]. [1] https://github.com/ChibiOS/ChibiOS [2] https://github.com/libopencm3

Wait, is this the brother of the ingenious Sam Zeloof [1], the guy who makes semiconductors in his garage? Looks like it runs in the family! [1] http://sam.zeloof.xyz/

Interesting. They are planning to use an OS called "EMBOX" [1] which has the main focus of "[making it possible to use] Linux software everywhere including MCUs". I wonder how that is going to work the restricted memory

We got rid of the control group, I wonder if that was smart.

I have often wondered why dates are so complicated. `timespec`, `timeval`, `tm`? Why not use a 64bit unsigned int to describe the time in TAI [1] (no leap seconds, trivial computation of difference between points in time) in nanoseconds? Th

Also, nothing gets written to disk, and there is no possibility to keep tmux sessions across reboots. A great resource about tmux was posted here some days ago: https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux/read

Democracy in France started with plentiful use of the guillotine, and few would argue that democracy is a bad thing. If few are ruling many, they best tread lightly, or history may repeat itself.
