Welcome to the world of embedded! :) As for the SPI flash size: they are almost always given in Mbit, so 16Mbit is 2MB hence the confusion if I were to guess. You would be looking for a 128Mbit one to get 16MB. Nice work and keep on tinkeri

Imagine Parker Schnabel borrowing one of these for a season, that’d be something.

Kind of makes you think that the subject at hand is quite complex in its nature, thus untrained people might do best to steer away until properly trained.

Not necessarily more than any other card. As long as it's been running within component specs (especially temperatures), I wouldn't be worried. It's obviously been running fine under high loads, so why would it just decide to

As someone who used this feature every single day, for every single text input on the phone: I 100% agree. The replacement method works, but it is indeed subpar. It annoys me that my 3 generation newer phone is a downgrade in this regard, b

Sure, but from a "high level" or "sockets" perspective, especially as a beginner it shouldn't be something you need to care about. A bit simplified, the basic stuff you need to know is: 1) UDP uses packages/mes

Interesting read. I’m quite curious of where all the initial misperceptions about sockets comes from. I can highly recommend Beej’s guide to network programming: https://beej.us/guide/bgnet/ That together with Lin

I think there's a confusion of terms, there's a big difference between 'deprecated' and 'obsolete'. They sure can be deprecated, which can be read as "not recommended for use and _may_ be removed in a futu

Thanks. Nit-picking here but ground is usually abbreviated GND, not GRD.

So DX12 support has not been deprecated in newer drivers (as the page states), it has actually been completely removed.

Not a loss but a cost/expense. A loss is, to put it simple, when money in - money out < 0. Without having looked it up, I would imagine that most of his wealth is tied to amazon stock.

I guess most of these are consequences of trying to solve problems that doesn’t really exist.

I’d assume it’s a ”typo” as well. Most likely it’s not the same person hiring and writing the job ad. So a qualified guess would be that a character got lost during communication/translation.

I did. The springs wearing out very much means bad contact at the contact points, we do agree there. However the receiver end with gold plated contacts points do also wear out. I’ve yet to see anything pointing towards springs wearing out b

Your statement would make more sense if USB-C somehow magically would be immune to wear, but it’s not.

I guess what we see is in part due to the transition towards more and more ”highlevel”. Now don’t get me wrong here, ”high level” in general is supposed to make life easier for developers, more rapid development and for corporate a better R

Long story short: Unexpected OpenSSL hard crashes in our application. Turns out our HW was reporting support for unaligned access where as it was actually disabled in CPU due to buggy hw (arm platform).

Seems like management arrived after solving problem 4, which resulted in 7+ new problems.

>Does this mean 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.1.0 and 3.1.1 will all be ABI/API compatible? Just to clarify (given my assumption that semver apply): 3.1.0 might contain new features compared to 3.0.z, those won’t be backported, but code written&#

I just want to reiterate what glandium wrote in a comment further down: "He didn't step down. He's taking a break. It's not the first time he takes a break either. Let's not be too alarmist."

What’s wrong with America? So crazy out of proportion; an alledged $25 theft may result in police officers arrest you in your home, getting handcuffed, forced into ”prison” jumpsuit etc. On top of that, stores are allowed to put lawyers on

I think the phrase you’re looking for is: good enough.

Use tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment and you will never have any problems using whatever tab width you want (except for potentially exceeding 80 char line length if you care about that. IMO that's secondary compared to the
