Does a serial port poll or interrupt? If it’s possible to interrupt on a serial port, are there existing examples of how to configure a mouse or keyboard to interrupt over a serial port?

Are there any open source real-time operating systems?

Is the difference due to changes in the operating system or is it due to differences in hardware usb vs ps/2 inputs?
125.
by rudolph9 6y ago
Can you elaborate? The wiki says it combines hard-realtime with soft-realtime. It sounds like it depends how you configure it but this is the first I’ve read of it so I could be mistaken.

What OS do you use? And does the mouse being a ps/2 input vs USB make a difference?

It’s unfortunate that often special formatting is done to documentation. I understand for marketing websites and landing pages why orgs want it but docs need to be consumable by many different parties. I find it very frustrating when orgs a

I use the [OpenDyslexia font][1] which is somewhat helpful but the more I got used to it the less helpful it has become. The plugin you’re describing sounds pretty helpful! I wonder if it could be built just using CSS rules? [1]: https:&#x

The address of the content is a hash of the content. It’s trivial for even low power devices to verify the content they revived matches the address they requested.

Professional programmers should adopt package manager that focus on reproducibility like Guix and Nix and make them accessible enough for non programmers to use. Neither of these are perfect but in my experience they are worlds better than

There is also http://multibootusb.org/ I stumbled across it while looking for a NixOS package for this one.

Yes! I’ve been searching for a way to have multiple bootable images from a single flash drive. This would suffice my need!

Essentially it's a separation of concerns. The content "address" (i.e. how we specify the content that is desired) and the content "location" (i.e. the connections which serve the content associated with an "ad

The advantage is the flexibility. I kind of went on a rant about this [here][1] but to answer your question more directly; the advantage is how the flexibility the addressing mechanism provides. Blockchain-tokens are frankly kind of boring,

There are a lot of nuanced ways a trustless distributed system can be more efficient. The article is pretty light on details but consider the content addressing mechanism. The data can be securely served by any device and independently ver

It seems like there is a lot of hostility toward protocol labs (among others doing stuff with “blockchain”). However, everything they build is free and open source. They’ve gone to considerable length to make their libraries modular and sup

The author makes some good points but fails to acknowledge the most powerful aspect of open-source, it’s open-source! He describes open-source as if it is a service being provided by the developers maintaining it rather than a tool anyone c

Keep in mind, network packets could be delivered by carrier pigeons. I’m all for paper ballots and conventional signature based system based system but combine that with cryptographically secure techniques for distributed systems (on paper)

Basically a patent practitioner can file patents on someone else’s behalf (file, contest decisions, transfer ownership, etc.) I’m not a patent practitioner yet. I failed the exam the first time I took it and studying for my second attempt.

It's worth explicitly noting that Starlink is applicable to rural areas. As OG noted 5G is applicable to both densely populated and rural areas. Further, it's theoretically possible to combine 5G and satellite internet where Starl
