    Yocto doesn't run GUI applications, it's a framework to make your own distro. The fact that many users are too lazy to create a user to run their application as, speaks of the embe…

    The age of last commit on trunk is a useless metric in isolation. The fact that it is the most prominent number on the front page of a repository is a shame.

    Sounds like CTU FEE in Prague. I learned a bunch about registers, branch prediction and cache, but most of the assembly went out of my head once the class was over.
