Yes but that somewhat limits the practicality because you need two receivers, a clear signal path between them and one has to be relatively static. It's fine for surveying but for dynamic applications which are far more common, it&#x27

Not really. The OS syscall interface, ABI and the fact everything is abstracted via your C compiler normalises the differences between the machines pretty well meaning you only end up dealing with portability issues. Portability issues is w

This fundamentally goes against the Unix philosophy though which is to provide small well-defined parts from which you can construct a complete solution from. If you need a complex manual for a complex program, something is wrong.

Similar story. Signed up to post this :) In 2009, our development team lost a whole 10 hours to a degraded Linux mdadm RAID1 that wouldn't rebuild due to an obscure error after a digger severed our power and internet connection. No int
