DuckDB when?

What is concerning to me is how many people in this comment section have little to no reading comprehension if they even read the site at all. The site is clear of what exactly the…

Agreed. We cant even get 10 dentists to agree which toothpaste to use. Getting 100 experts to agree on anything is a miracle.

Looks like no support for Windows :(

Very cool but being tied to a code editor is not ideal. Have you ever looked at https://surfer-project.org ?

> Few engineers could reliably build the software locally; debugger usage was rare (I ended up writing the team's first how-to guide in 2024); and automated test coverage sat below…

No, the OP is right in this case. Did you read TFA? It was "peer reviewed". > Worryingly, each of these submissions has already been reviewed by 3-5 peer experts, most of whom miss…

Texas Instruments and Microchip: Am I a joke to you?

I use "Todo Tree" in VS Code which is one of my mandatory extensions wherever I go. Super useful for not only tag highlighting, but as a general bookmark system inside the codebase…

I also find this super annoying. In C++ land, Microsoft solves this problem by having "natvis" [0] files which allows you to have custom representations of complex & deeply nested …

How do you assemble your board with BGA packages? Or do you procure the parts and then send them somewhere for assembly?

Slightly off topic: Does anyone know of a good/fast hash function (similar to this) for use in 32bit embedded systems (such as Cortex-M, TriCore, C2000, etc)?

Linux will never get popular in the mainstream until the Linux community ditches the obsession with doing things through the command line. The second you need to open the terminal …

The regulators are asleep at the wheel. Thats why Apple feels like they can get away with all of this.
