Yes, I think the question here is not so much why the old is leaving, but if anyone seriously expects the new guy to succeed any more? ex-Microsoft too, not exactly a great start. What does seem slightly odd is Apple have probably saved bil

The UK is speedrunning the fight to combat totalitarianism by becoming totalitarian. Of course the crucial difference between the groups, for now, is who gets to be the authority. It really does feel like a hopeless situation. In one camp t

Many ML people treat other devs that way as well. This is a major reason the ML field has to rediscover things like the application of quaternions to poses because they didn't think to check how existing practitioners did it, and even

It's very simple: if it's a company run service that's free to access it's because it's one massive commercial break. (So is news.ycombinator.com of course). How anyone on here does not immediately see Roblox for wh

It was really a euro thing. Think the whole Jamba/Jamster ecosystem (Crazy Frog) and the explosion that occurred with premium SMS and ringtones. It was all about selling into carriers associated with that, and that was a recipe for pai

Wow this brings back a lot. I did J2ME at Macrospace/Glu, Masabi, Javaground and EA, and at one point near the end was simultaneously responsible for 128k jars of Tetris and 4GB apk + obb for Real Racing because that is how rapidly the

That tinkering attitude is the root of the problem in the Arduino ecosystem. Just do things properly - it only has to be done by the vendor anyway, and no one else needs to touch it.

The brilliance of the ESP devices is not needing anything not included on a basic dev board for a huge raft of applications. The peripheral design is positively wonky, but they do just work.

None of it is a requirement to work on the happy path. To work as part of a reasonably secure platform that still allows people to develop on it and responsibly sell consumer hardware based on it, yes, it's necessary.

Right. We also know how to do code signing and deterministic builds so you could build it and ensure the code you see is what is being executed and that is what is certified. It's just rather boring to get all the ducks in a row to do

It's one of those things you need a benevolent billionaire to bootstrap which will probably never make money. The CPU cores aren't the problem (just use Hazard3) - it's all the rest, particularly the WiFi.

This is not good. Qualcomm are [expletives] anyway, but we need more activity in the connected microcontroller space in the west. Never have been a fan of the programming style encouraged by the Arduino SDK/API, so hopefully this demis

It used to be having GitHub in the critical path for deployment wasn't so bad, but these days you'd have to be utterly irresponsible to work that way. They need to get a grip on this.

The fundamental problem with the newer Huawei equipment is it's the best stuff. Others just aren't competing properly at all. As the west detaches from China, for quite plausible security concerns, it's going to find it expen
