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 …

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 und…

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 …

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 kno…

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/gu…

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 _…

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.

Oh noes, not longer working hours…

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 st…

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/t…

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’v…

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

”ssh?”

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 dev…

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 bu…

Ubununtu, hilarious typo

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

Small change proposal for the UART USB bridge: make Vio selectable between 3.3V/5V

>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 …

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…

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” jumpsui…
