Yea, just to be clear though: Asahi Linux still works pretty well. My system boots near instantly; wifi, mouse, keyboard work fine. Its enough where I can easily use my M2+linux as my daily driver. This article is addressing misleading co

Sad, but I would occasionally use my "unlimited" PTO to take a week off and just get work done. Most of the pain started when we transitioned to a sprints from a lack of process. In theory, this was to make things faster (which

100%. I worked at a company that really went in hard on Agilent Vee for hardware testing in the early 2000's. Absolutely a thing where a manager saw a "Hello World"-like demo and was so impressed that they went 100% full bu

I worked for a company that used A/B testing to justify call-to-cancel; makes me angry every time I think about it. I guess that's one of the tricky things about A/B testing - it is easy to measure that call-to-cancel decrea

Still makes me mad. I bought a device that plays PS3 games and runs Linux and then Sony said I have to choose.

IPV6 can cause some issues around this because browsers will typically do an IPV4 and IPV6 lookup in parallel. Try adding a ::1 youtube.com www.youtube.com also.

In California it is illegal. If you work in trendy software companies, startups, etc - it probably isn't common because so many people have Githubs. As a embedded software engineer, I've had specific language claiming rights to e

> They also run the risk of being held personally liable if someone were to be injured by the pothole they attempted to fix. Are they suggesting that the city can be held liable when a pothole they _haven't_ fixed jacks up my car

Or they could just sign up at one of the numerous free email providers with a different username. Stripping the + suffixes is only providing one thing - pain for the users that want to use it.

Understood, and I totally agree that it is an industry ready for some shakeup. I used to work for a large defense contractor doing FPGA work, and we really went out of our way to try to stick to 100% VHDL to attempt to avoid vendor lock-in.

C (or really any traditional programming language) doesn't really map to an FPGA. There are some compilers out there that attempt to convert traditional C code to state machines for FPGAs, but FPGAs are really a completely different p

I don't understand why they go through so much effort to churn out these boards that are made useless by lack of upstreaming. Oh, wait, because idiots like me keep buying them and finding this out too late. Thanks for saving me $20 th

100% correct. Far too many misinterpretations of the LGPL out there seem to ignore the requirement that the LGPL'd portion must be able to be replaced/updated. I've seen way too many LGPL-licensed embedded-C libraries and VH
