That's a very positive outlook to have, the bit about unleashed carnage made me laugh :)

Read up on flyback diodes. There are additionally numerous motor driver IC's specifically for this purpose. A flyback is critical in anything involving a magnetic field, especially a collapsing magnetic field from a motor that stops sp

Anything involving collapsing magnetic fields, eg solenoids, relays, motors, absolutely simply has to have a flyback diode. So your suggestion is actually introducing a second magnetic field, so now you've doubled the chances of blowin

Yep was going to say exactly this. Anything involving collapsing magnetic fields, eg solenoids, relays, motors, absolutely simply has to have a flyback diode.

Hmm. A MOSFET for a motor switch might be overkill. Also, there's no flyback diode. So your Pi pretty much will let its blue smoke out when you get a flyback voltage, or at least the MOSFET.

> privileged spec I hope this refers to ring-0-like instructions such as x86 STI, and not some kind of OEM/manufacturer "you can only use this set of instructions if you pay us" type privilege?

Then C++ has failed. If it has so many competing standards and subsets, then it is too fragmented. This is why when you see C++ written in one standard it looks like a whole other language when you look at other C++. If after a decade there

> In the embedded world they're available and not even super new, I feel you might be understating this! FPGA's and ASIC's have in fact been in use for decades now, they are very much ingrained into many high end products.

If I had to choose between no generics or "generics as closures" I'd vote no generics.

This resonates with me, a lot. Damn. What would you use instead?

Fully agree. No need for the shitty parts of UNIX to be in a new OS. Use full names. I've never used OSX/macOS but I do admire how they've gone about doing the whole UNIX thing, there seems to actually be some standard to it

Very similar to something I'm working on. Except in my case I have an interface that the consumers implement to be able to talk to their service/database/whatever. It's designed for time series data (e.g., cpu usage, roo

Rust is also 32bit/64bit. That's totally fine (obviously) for PC-like situations and servers and more powerful embedded systems, etc. But there are literally billions of 8bit and 16bit embedded systems out there, many of which hav

It's absolutely not the same analogy in the slightest, its apples to oranges. I guess you got triggered at someone not liking arduino.

by lloydjatkinson 9y ago
That is analogous to the "I've had this brush for years, and it's had a new handle 3 times and a new brush head 5 times." type idea. Safe to say that no, it is not the same organism.

No HN only allow political ideologies or narratives they agree with. The moderator team do not hide that they are SJW's. As another example, currently HN's narrative of choice is how Uber is literally the worst thing since Hitler

What are the differences between Vue and React? I use Angular unfortunately, and ideally I'd like to be able to learn some non-SPA stuff too. I've only really looked at React and it seems nice. I'm not a web dev by choice, I
