So you want to use an analog microphone with the Raspberry Pi? Why? As far as I know there are three kinds of microphones: * The cheap analog ones, can be USB or audio jack. Presumably you want one of these? * The digital ones, USB. Even so

Why would you use Rust on embedded hardware? Seems like C is a better match for embedded considering it has no borrow checker to complicate things, and the borrow checker is less useful when you do not have a heap.

Presumably you mean that false should be represented with 0 and true with ~0? And the motivation is maybe to be able to toggle boolean values with one instruction? Has there been any discussion on this matter on risc-v mailing lists or some

That requires Dbus, LOL. Also, the API is not part of the Wayland protocol. In other words, not every compositor will implement it, and if they do, it will have its costs.

One thing that a great majority of commenters here seem to be missing is that Wayland's issues that make it unsuitable to replace X Windows will not just be ironed out in a couple of years (at least not in a way that would be an improv

I think that depends on a protocol that only Sway (the compositor) implements.

You should look at "Wikilawyering" as mostly a scare tactic. I acknowledge that making ones edits pass by other interested editors (especially those with more time or numbers than you have) is exhausting. But it is worth it, consi

Yeah, but people wanting to "stay a safe distance away" is exactly what makes articles vulnerable. Wiki-style projects rely on many different interested parties contributing for accuracy and "neutral" point of view.

Larry Sanger left Wikipedia more than ten years ago, and has been critical of its accuracy for longer than that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Sanger
