I am agreeing with your first point. But I am suggesting an alternative to your second point. When FPGA boards become available to more people, the tools will automatically come. Note that, the open-source tools can be built by software pro

I think this is where FPGAs might prove very useful. Even if the designs made on FPGAs are small-scale, amateurish or sub-optimal today, they will help develop an ecosystem of tools, including open-source tools, that will ultimately help la

Very happy to see both the projects (MyHDL and Chisel). I am not the target audience, but I was once interested in building some thing like this in Scala. What is the uptake of Chisel in the target audience? I have observed that hardware de

This sort of installer should only be required for apps that require some native code and/or tight integration with the Desktop Environment. For most other purposes, a simple .jar or .jnlp file works fine.

Similarly, most of the CI tools require huge number of permissions, including Travis. GH has OAuth scoping, but it needs to be more fine-grained. Say, configurable to per-repository level.

More interesting is this: https://github.com/miniboxing/miniboxing-plugin/ Their idea is, IIRC, to flatten the members of a type into an array of primitives.

In developing countries, $50/hour is considered very lucrative. Thus the hourly rate is not a good indicator of developer quality.

Adding to that, it is also possible that Github board of directors were willing to make a scapegoat of a founder (guilty or not), rather than risk the whole company's reputation by acknowledging inequalities in the workplace. Shouldn&#

This might become a nice benchmark for the Go language; the same code base implemented in C and Go! It may not be fine-tuned for optimisation, neither in C nor in Go, but may still give a good ball-park estimate.

Proguard does a lot of optimisations ahead of time and is part of the standard workflow for Android development. It would have been a more fair comparison if Proguard optimisations were enabled (or mentioned if already enabled).

Slightly off topic, but do you know whether the paid developers of Linux work on the core kernel, or on device drivers?

Similar to how a swing-by is used to accelerate a space-vehicle, I wonder if a swing-by could be used to decelerate as well.

Minor aside, I like the chainsaw metaphor and use it a lot when thinking about programming tools and languages. Before choosing a tool / language, I check if the task is to (metaphorically) cut a single tree or an entire patch of trees

Yeah, but it is better to cover for the users who won't be aware soon rather than the users who are aware but wouldn't care soon enough.

I stand corrected; I am not that familiar with python. Though I remember reading somewhere that JSON can be eval ed in both JS and Python. Perhaps the python bit is not true.

IIRC, JSON is a strict subset of JS and Python .

I am not familiar with Beagle Bone, but if it doesn't have encoding/decoding hardware, how did you expect a driver for it? The APIs in RPi that you mention are high-level APIs. Before Broadcom open-sourced the implementation (whic

It is nice, but a little late for many people. Couple of years back when I was investigating the RaPi for building a video recorder, the lack of open video drivers prevented me (and apparently many in the forums) from integrating camera mod

Have you tried the "Simple App Switcher"? It's the good old alt+tab from yester years. You can enable it through Compiz Settings Manager.
