In my case, the problem went beyond that. They put in patch that made the BLE transmit out of spec. Plus their lack of support added at least 3 months to our launch dates. We had everything in place but couldn't launch because of Wifi

Broadcom's documentation sucked and will continue to suck because of their customer strategy. As a company their goal has always been to focus on high volume customers. I don't have a problem with that, except that they were also

Whenever I see twitter's share price mentioned, I think of Damodaran's valuation of Twitter stock - $18. His academic approach may be more accurate than hyped up numbers. See http://aswathdamodaran.blogspot.com/201

Adding to this. The funny thing about the western MSM is that they only noticed the Mars and Moon missions. What they didn't pay attention to was the payback in terms of human lives improved just by ISRO's satellites helping with

How do you build credit history? Also, isn't it easy to dispute credit card transactions as opposed to debit card because with a debit card money is immediately removed from your account.

I found the work on classifying the results, sorting them more interesting. Posting to a slack channel as a bot today could easily have been a perl script bot writing to an IRC channel 10 years ago. That's hardly innovative. The really

The headline is slightly click-bait. Most the work is outside slack - parsing Craigslist, classifying etc.. The slack channel bit is one part of the puzzle. The article itself says there are 4 steps and devotes 2 paras to slack. I guess the

My startup failed last year. It wasn't the greatest feeling to be back searching for a job. I did find a good job and I'm at a good place now. I joined as a developer. I was the CTO of my startup and was a senior architect looking

Also your spouse cannot work as a dependent. They need to have their own H1-B or any of the other visas. Consider the probability of both spouses getting past the H1B lottery.

They were in that even before smartphones were the norm. Considering that they had to compete a lot more in the server space (SPARC comes to mind) and then won that market doesn't mean they won the smartphone market. AFAIK, Paul Otelli

As of today, there isn't much of an advantage of doing a SiP for a chip like the AM335x other than the high speed design. Most of market is still with PCB SoMs for larger cortex-A chips. The real advantage of SiP is with BLE or similar

That's because Win95 is running on top of Bochs. Bochs simulates every x86 instruction in software. Getting Bochs to run on Apple Watch is itself impressive!

The problem with India is that no stereotype really exists. For every truth, the opposite is also true. I wonder why the NY Times, the BBC etc.. focus so much on the negative. Does the idea of India go synonymously with poverty for them? Ye

There are several other cases that I can think of as well (like embedded systems). However, the main point is whether or not software is delivered to customers or is served to customers. Webapps/SAAS applications are clearly different

I'm using a PIC12 in product that replaces an existing one. At Volume Pricing 8 Bit PICs are pretty much incomparable to ARMs. A quick check on Digikey shows that for 10000 pieces, the cheapest 8 Bit Micro is a PIC10 - 35Cents/Uni

Our startup failed early this year. We didn't make any money and while we did have a few interested clients, to keep going we needed funding that didn't come. End of the day, it was the wrong product. Period. So - lesson learned.

There is a difference though. Exceptions can result in Stack Unwinding which is costly. Gotos are a jump which costs literally nothing.

Slightly offtopic, but isn't it a bit ironic that NIH (National Institutes of Health) and NIH (Not Invented Here) both make perfect sense in this thread! The Gates Foundation is pushing for a lot less NIH syndrome and a lot more reuse

I'm not sure about ARMv8 but in ARMv7 SoCs the ARM Subsystem does not include L3. Plus each L1 is tied to each core.
