You don't have to be Netflix to get AWS, GCP and MS to play against each on pricing. I've seen a number of my clients build a prototype on each platforms, and then use it to make final decision. Part of that final decision is havi

Good list, but I feel like they bury the lede: integrated wiki, issues, and notes. That doesn't scale to every project (linux kernel for example), but for a lot of projects it's really cool. Other selling points from the Fossil si

I can't mention the name due to DNAs, but yes, the robot use cases includes sauce and toppings.

I don't see (yet?) how this directly solves the problem. Let's say I'm a foreign intelligence agency and want to influence people through ads. Feels like I just need to set up a shell corporation based in the states. Once I&#

No, I'm talking about the end franchisees that makes and bakes the pizzas for the consumer.

I'm also aware of robots being used in fast food pizza preparation. In some markets the robots are what keep the franchisees profitable.

There's a number of questions on this thread about Telsa's production uptick being about "burning the late night oil" or automation. Does anyone have any reliable insight into this question? And, regarding their automati

Seeing a lot of assumptions and speculations on this thread (which makes sense given how early and high level the sourcing is). I wonder if anyone has seen side by side roadmaps of Apple and Intel's roadmaps, or projections of those ro

Totally agree, I'd group that in my #1 above.

Agreed this isn't much of a defensible business: if anything it feels like a stepping stone to the next phase: 100% on demand meal kits. 1. I upload my meal plan for the next week or two, or select from pre-designed options. 2. The gro

Kotlin Native might have a chance, and it looks like they are targeting embedded. But the rest aren't good fits: Anything with a GC is a no-go for serious MCU development. You just can't optimize the code deep enough. Swift's

Ideally I'd like to see Rust used to ship in production systems. I do a lot of IoT, and I don't see any of my customers green-lighting Rust until the silicon guys say "yes, we'll support Rust" and provide official H

by wiremine 9y ago
Having Rust support embedded is only half the story: we need to lobby/advocate for chip makers to support Rust. The article doesn't directly call this out, but I think it's important for Rust to truly succeed in this space. M

Agreed, that goes to my comment about transportation vs. application layer. Transport security is just one small part of IoT security, of course. It is not a solved problem, but there are a lot of best practices that just aren't addres

Man, I'd hope so. Good engineers in this space tend to have a sense of style, IMHO.

Here's a quick bread-first overview some of our recent projects: * Industrial IoT - If I had to guess, most of the projects are 95% analytics, 5% command and control (i.e., configure machines and/or centrally control them) - PLCs

Just a note on IoT: Yes, it's messy, yes it's early, but I really love working in the space full time. It spans every part of computer science and it's never dull. I get to work with Fortune 100s and startups, and it's r

I'm a fulltime IoT software consultant, and I wish we'd see more of these initiatives. A few thoughts: 1. The problem isn't the transport layer, it's the application layer. The transport layer is mostly solved via MQTT,

> a terrible page for attracting new developers This is a better way of identifying my frustration: open source projects don't just need good docs, they need to attract and inspire... especially visual frameworks like a GUI.

We purchased this for my 11 year old at Christmas, and he's been enjoying it very much. He's also into Scratch, and I asked him why he likes them both: he said the Bloxel code is more limited, but is easier to prototype ideas. Scr

> the interference issues in the USA leading up to WWI seem like an apt historical example. It's a good question. I think you need to apply Reed's law at scale, not in the formative state. For example, the initial internet in 1

Great talk! Wanted to add a few thoughts that came to mind as I read it: 1. The radio history lesson is great, and I'd agree is appropriate for our current situation. It reminds me a lot of early US history and the use of newspapers in

This is great! Like other commenters, I disagree with some things, but you can tell a lot of thought and attention went into this. Thank you! As an aside: it makes me wish there was an easy way to "fork" diagrams like this, and se

+1 on the Wemos D1 mini recommendation. I have 5 or 6 and are great little boards. If you need some more pins the, you can get the NodeMCU boards.

To provide some historical perspective: Apple's done major transitions like this in the past: The move from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS 10 and the move to Intel come to mind. I'd be curious to hear from experienced Mac devs on what they th
