For what it's worth, Odysseus is the only one to make it back to Ithaca. All of his men end up devoured by Polyphemus or other monsters, drowned or worse.. So maybe becoming a lotus-eater would not have been that bad after all.

Just a quick remark but for a simple command line utility, I really like a static binary you only need to download, drop into a directory in the path. I am always wary of tools that need to install either a python or node.js distribution, b

Not totally unrelated, but Sonos recently bought snips.ai, a startup working on assistant with a focus on privacy and local voice recognition (and they also use some Rust). The move is likely motivated by Sonos not wanting to rely on Googl

I thought that because of the embargo Boeing could not deliver replacement parts or provide technical assistance, so I am not sure how they can be involved in the post crash investigation either.

Not answering directly your question, but I remember seeing a benchmark recently where there was more difference in performances for a program compiled with gcc and clang, than between the C++ clang and Rust performances. So I believe that

Is Tock a Real Time OS though ? They mention a preemptive scheduling, but not priority inversion for example. And they do not claim anything regarding real time in their doc.

Not really related to tech, but I find it interesting that she went from software engineering to being an editor for the New York Times and writing books. That being said once you've been a whistleblower, even for good reasons, sadly,

Is there other GUI toolkits around that could run on bare metal on a microcontroller ? I have already seen GuiLite[0] being posted on HN, but I am not sure how robust and easy to use it is. [0] https://github.com/idea4good&#

Generally, on a specific technical topics, smaller subreddits can be useful and can generate interesting discussions as well.

You might be a good candidate, but the recruiter has scheduled another interview next week with another candidate, and might want to see all candidates before answering.

Definitely it is a text book example of things to not do, but what is painful is that they started with good intentions. (People with good intentions are the most dangerous one though)

In my open office next door, people have been refactoring a cpp98 monolith into more interdependent components to be able to have a better test suite, better CI integration, better deployment story. That sounds about right. Well, the issue

Funnily enough the Tic-Tac description looks quite close to the fictional "Droplet" in Liu Cixin's 3 body problem. This is fiction so the author might have been influenced by this event.

This is the second time I see a link on HN, mentioning Hypergiant industries. Their website [0] and their algae bioreactor page [1] is so over the top that it looks fake. I assume this is real company selling real solutions (consulting) but

There is at least two entangled issues there, the first one is a human resource issue, and the second one is a legal issue. I got the feeling the person asking the question does not really understand what GPL entails. We lack some context b

Answering to my own question, I have looked a bit further into github. It seems Lockwise can not work on pre Oreo android devices, so in the end, Fenix will get password sync natively as well, and this is a work in progress.

I don't use Firefox Preview fully because of lack of login/password sync. After looking at github, I understood that Fenix won't support Firefox Sync for syncing login and passwords, but will rely on Firefox Lockwise, and is

This might be a stupid question, but it is not mentioned on Kickstarter how the carbon extractor is powered, and what is the energy needed for, let's say, extracting 100g of Carbon from the atmosphere.

On the other hand, if the final report released today is much more benign that what is reported here, wouldn't it make the suspicion of conflict of interests a lot worse ? It is forcing hand, but in the other direction.
