I think choosing to exclude exceptions is a totally fine decision, and I actually think it's the right thing to do in embedded systems where you _cant't_ afford to let an uncaught exception bubble up

That would make sense if it wasn't for the fact that many embedded systems are programmed in assembly language, which is not the most easy to follow for people not acquainted with code.

Banning the use of namespaces and templates for embedded programming seems arbitrary at best, since they are both completely compile-time features

As a musician, I noticed something interesting: musicians tend to be _extremely_ conservatives. Guitarists, for example: try telling them to use a solid state (transistor) amp, and wait for the instant explanation of why valves are absolute

Note that inhaling heavier-than-air gasses is _way_ more dangerous than inhaling - say - helium, because the latter naturally escapes, the former will tend to remain at the bottom of your lungs (if you stay upright) and will be difficult to

When I was in high school I participated to the EEE project (Extreme Energy Events), which used various vapour chamber-like detectors scattered all around Italian schools to calculate the trajectories of muon showers produced by cosmic rays

I would guess that the remarkable fact is exactly that this CPU is still able to work somewhat properly at these extremely out of spec conditions, thus proving a good design/production process/idk

The key here is that it's oled: given that it's mostly static as the user above says, it would get pretty bad burn in if it was always on

The important thing is, though: will it be able to self-drive on street? No. It will be the most comfortable car there is for the maker, but it won't drive itself.

The only issue I have with keybase's git service is performance, right now. Otherwise, it's a godsend for personal projects you don't want to make publicly available.

I agree, it was (and still is) incredibly fascinating, especially now that I get to look at it from very close. In writing this compatibility layer I am indeed being inspired a library with a similar intent, maybe with a more modern approac
