That is one horrible website, I can't believe that garbage was posted on HN.

My issue is that they still have not sorted out suspend and resume. Half the time when I reopen my laptop lid my keyboard no longer works. Had the same issue on 18.04.

This is why I love HN. I get to see wonderful new ideas and great tools being developed and also feel a sense of community when the creators that enable the creators also get invol…

I very much doubt Rust is going to get much traction in embedded. C++ is barely being used and even when it is, it is usually "C with classes" being written by C programmers forced…
