I've got several 5-10year old Nudie pairs. Enough of a buffer to get me through 6-12weeks waiting times easily.

No, but why would it be. I'd expect a competitive pay.

I ran one in my student housing wardrobe a decade or so ago. I too have some stories, but no one ever met up with me in the flesh.

I too moved to Germany (from Sweden), and I think the talent sorting and the related obsession with titles is both bizarre and suboptimal.

I think most people prefer having all of this functionality integrated in one place.

Sure that's better. What would be even better would be support: - CI integration - Rich markup, for images etc. - Simple patch management - Edits to messages - Issue tracking

That's kinda of elitist. And very likely not true.

I'd say that 95% of developers would find a github/gitlab type interface more productive and easy to pick up.

I think most developers would find it easier to contribute to a github/gitlab/gitea project than a ML one. Besides, there are definite downsides to like MLs, like CI integration and pulling patches to local trees. Now, there are s

Mesa lets OpenGL(ES) drivers to share a lot of code. This doesn't take anything away from this achievement however.

libcamera isn't firmware for cameras. It's a userspace framework for enabling and abstracting away the terribleness of v4l2 & quirky hardware.

by robert_foss 4y ago
libcamera is intended to fill the same role for cameras & image processors as mesa has been filling for GPUs.

No :/

Why bother? Because the next generation of hardware will be able to use most of the software written for the current generation, and after a few generations the hardware will be well supported very quickly. Additionally there's a lot o

I've had it confirmed by on of the top two mobile OS providers, that their email developers have JMAP on the roadmap.
