Yocto manages it thanks to the tireless effort of a community of people maintaining patches and unholy hacks for a ton of software to make it cross compilable. And they have nowhere near the amount of recipes that Fedora has.

Fixing cross compilation is a huge undertaking. So much software needs to be patched to be properly cross-compilable.

Do you typically care about portability to the degree that you want the same machine code to execute on both a Linux box and a microcontroller? Why?

Why would terraform leave transitive steps around? To my knowledge, Docker doesn't record a log the IO syscalls performed by a RUN directive, the layer just reflects the actual changes it makes. It uses overlayfs, doesn't it? If y

100% with you on the IO. I've never even wanted two display output ports with any raspberry pi. You know what I do want though? An actual damn HDMI port! HDMI cables are everywhere, wherever I am I have unlimited options to connect a

Completely depends on what you're doing. If you're doing a lot of sustained compute, or doing graphics, then yeah you're gonna want some cooling. But it's a useful little machine for all kinds of tasks which don't c

The Pi isn't great value, but honestly, I'm finding it hard to find a better trade-off between price, performance and software support right now than the compute modules for embedded projects where you can afford to spin a custom

It is mateirially different compared to "maintaining" the line 'RUN apt-get -y install foobar'

Dockerfile has the flexibility to do what you want though, no? Use a base image with terraform or puppet or opentofu or whatever pre-installed, then your Dockerfile can just run the right command to apply some declarative config file from t

Then you're committing to maintaining a package for that software. Like all LLM boosters, you've ignored the fact that the largest time sink in many kinds of software is not initial development, but perpetual maintenance.

The data I operate on come in from the outside world, I can't operate on all of it because most of it doesn't exist yet. I can't process an event that hasn't happened yet

There have been committed 3 new features and a seemingly significant bug fix since the last release: https://github.com/google/uuid/compare/v1.6.0...HEAD If the library just existed as a correct implementatio

I think aseprite is a perfectly fine project, but where possible, I like to use open source tools rather than proprietary tools.

I write algorithms that operate on less predictable amounts of data.

Right now I'm on a 2021 MacBook Pro, I'm debating whether to upgrade to the new M5 Pro laptops or to wait until next year; so that's 5-6 years. My desktop gets upgraded over time, so it's not really on a "cycle&quot

Most of us are not really doing detailed half-decade hardware purchasing plans, for most of us "the next few years" is really the only relevant time frame.

Yes, and you have to agree to the terms of that service in order to use the editor. Those terms could've just been, "you must be 18+ years old to use the service", and everything would be just fine. But they're not. &quo
651.
by mort96 8mo ago
If you do not agree to the Terms, you may not download or use the editor . The download page says that "by downloading and using the editor, you agree to the terms". If you aren't over 18, you can't agree to the terms.

See my response to your other comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47259138 I did not quote "Customer must be at least 18 years old to use the Service" because I, like you, don't find it to be a

Notice how I did not quote the "Customer must be at least 18 years old to use the Service" part. That sentence is completely non-problematic. The part that's a problem is the part I actually quoted : By agreeing to the

Yet the terms that you have to agree to in order to download and use the editor say: > By agreeing to these Terms, Customer represents and warrants to Zed that: (a) Customer is at least 18 years old

Sigh, for the umpteenth time this week. The very next sentence after the one you quoted: By agreeing to these Terms, Customer represents and warrants to Zed that: (a) Customer is at least 18 years old "these Terms" are th

E cores didn't just ruin P cores, it ruined AVX-512 altogether. We were getting so close to near-universal AVX-512 support; enough to bother actually writing AVX-512 versions of things. Then, Intel killed it.

Oh, nice! I always wanted one of those, a many-core build server running ARM would be excellent for Yocto. Anything running in quemu in the rootfs is so slow on x86 and I've seen the rootfs postprocess step take a long time. Though...

It's for building embedded Linux distros, and your typical Linux distro contains quite a lot of C++ and Rust code these days (especially if you include, say, a browser, or Qt). But you have parallelism across packages , so even if one

by mort96 8mo ago
For an application like a build server, the only metric that really matters is total integer compute per dollar and per watt. When I compile e.g a Yocto project, I don't care whether a single core compiles a single C file in a millisec
