The inclusion of "Embedded" on the front page when all the documents say it's experimental and not supported in public releases "yet" does make me curious if they will announce more at WWDC. The big hopes for me thi

That is truly awful, and does reflect badly on the stewardship of the project as a whole, which is a shame. It really is amazing how toxic programming language arguments become.

People that have been around Dart long enough absolutely felt hard done by. That project burned so much community good will on the way to finally getting slight traction with Flutter.

This is accurate, and what's impressive is how well this is scrubbed from the internet. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Element_AI You'd have no idea about the fact most of the money came from the

Exactly. The wifi these devices should be on should have no access to anything except the broker in the gateway device. Certainly no multicast or anything like that.

Industrially there is a decent amount of LoRa (and relatedly lorawan) about too, and that fills a similar role to Zigbee in the comparison.

This would be out of the frying pan and into the fire. The only long term viable approach for IoT security is to not allow these devices on the Internet in the first place. Have the WiFi Access Point, or some other gateway, act as the broke

By 2005 J2ME fragmentation was nothing like as bad as what Android would become, and remains greatly exaggerated. By that point the 3650 and T610 were getting to be history, and Siemens were on the edge of dropping out. It was one of those

Opera Mini appeared at a strange time. This is back around when Apple had done Webkit just for the Mac (derived from KHTML) and Nokia thought it would be cool on S60, and it was. WAP/WML was a near total flop, although oddly had a seco

That would be believable if copyright was enforced appropriately on existing AI training data. The big problem with this is it means anything really interesting will no longer be published in the open.
