Love Yocto! It has a learning curve but it took about a week from nothing to an embedded image including Swift and Flutter apps, U-Boot, etc. A curve worth climbing.

Not to hijack the thread but, I'm building a personal monitor mixer (AoIP in, headphone out) with the control plane written entirely in Swift and the UI in Flutter. It works very nicely and we get an iOS/Android remote for free.

INMOS (morally) lives on as XMOS, with its funky dialect of C (XC), which incidentally I quite enjoy.

Back up now for me.

Yup, SSH rejecting my key, thought it was something at my end but no. Can't run any Yocto builds... I guess a good opportunity to take a walk or do some life admin.

Sad news. His name is familiar from the LDAP days.

AES67 mode is unfortunately limited to 1ms or higher.

Dante network latency can go as low as 125us.

I suspect using Carbon also helped shake out Carbon itself. Eventually the Finder was rewritten in Cocoa. Maybe one day it'll be rewritten in SwiftUI and some SwiftUI bugs will get shaken out ;)

I remember an internal website (circa 1997) having the Mac OS Rumors logo with a big cross through it. :)

Also useful for things like SPI with only blocking user space API.

I mean, Swift or Rust async/await with poll or io_uring gets you there. I use Swift structured concurrency with io_uring and love it.

I’ve been running my own mail server since forever on a VPS (so, stable IP address, which helps). Still need a third-party spam filter as the primary MX to avoid the deluge, and my mail doesn’t always land reliably. But it’s kind of a point

I imagine it’s just efficient allocation of engineering resources.

Radar was always Apple, I think NeXT had their own issue tracker called Recall. However when I worked on Rhapsody in 1997 issues were tracked with Radar.

I did always love seeing these ads when I was a kid, most likely in UnixWorld. I can't say I ever really liked working on AIX though.

Apple did implement this around the Mac OS X transition (I guess, probably Steve Naroff did it?) but it was not pursued, in favor Java bindings (which funnily enough are back in fashion with swift-java).

There's also XMOS (effectively, software defined hardware). But ain't going to do those speeds.

Tangential: Apple has a new Swift Java bridge which is pretty cool, supporting both JNI and Panama. I’ve been porting it to Android this past week. https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-java

We have a Smeg oven, not with touchscreen controls, but with two pushable knobs that are easily pressed (thus starting the oven) by brushing past them. This oven has the worst user experience of anything, hardware or software, I've eve

Look, I wish the compiler was faster and the diagnostics more helpful but I find Swift pretty great! And I'm using it on Linux.

As someone else mentioned, he is 15. I would have thought the same thing when I was his age.

IIRC, the ObjC/Java bridge was first done at NeXT for WebObjects around 1996... almost thirty years ago!

Ditto Swift. I should probably write a blog post about it... https://github.com/PADL/IORingSwift

It was based on Embedded C++. Definitely inspired by Objective-C but I believe they wanted to avoid dynamic dispatch in the kernel.

In NEXTSTEP, yes, but not macOS.

Flutter is another option for embedded.
