Correction: Apple never used X as a native window system, nor did NeXT. The did provide the hooks for an X11 server to run on macOS. From memory this was due to requests from the a…

You might want to make the port index instead a bit mask, that will let you support multicast and also selective broadcast flooding (although if you have limited space you’ll likel…

Toyota is using Flutter I believe.

I haven't used it, but there's also Avocado OS [1]. Myself, I use Yocto for our embedded build. It's not perfect but for our application, which involves building a bunch of softwar…

Also it’s nice for things like SPI which have no user space non-blocking API.

Microsoft Surface Dial is nice. You'll also need to write a driver...

Well, also to be clear, I did find a great hardware engineer to design the board based on my somewhat outrageously over-engineered specifications. And I have been working on it for…

Re: yours, that is a _long_ boot time. Boot time on mine isn't great, but I think I'm just going to have to accept that as an artefact of U-Boot, Linux, and an Ethernet switch chip…

Well, it started off simpler, but, yes.

I’m building an audio device. It runs Linux for the control plane (it’s just a CM4 running Yocto, maybe I’ll leave SSH running on production units, maybe not, haven’t decided yet).…

SIP is anti-feature for a certain class of users, but the right tradeoff for most consumers. At least you can disable it. And even as a developer I leave it enabled.

Right, and I suspect as things get more complicated (and you have to ship), abstractions get leaky.

There was also the Java-like syntax for ObjC but I don’t think that ever shipped.

Yup, even with a hard drive the m68k turbo slab was no speed demon. Wasn't too bad on HPPA though.

Still rocking a 2019 (Intel) Mac Pro here, all slots filled with various Pro Tools and UAD DSP cards, SSD, GPU, etc. I'm planning to get as much mileage out of it as I can. I'm sur…

I hear you. Actually I read this thread because we’re using jemalloc in an embedded product. The only way I found to work on interesting problems here was to work for myself. (Havi…

To some degree. There are _many_ SwiftUI clones that support other frameworks such as Gtk and Windows, with varying states of maturity. Or you can share the business logic and writ…

It does like to weasel in if you let it write a commit message, and even after rewriting and force pushing, it seems to hang around on the GitHub contributor list.

Swift actually has excellent C++ interop [1] (compared to other languages, but, I guess, not good enough for Ladybird). [1] https://www.swift.org/documentation/cxx-interop/

Also things like support for GSS-API pre-authentication mechanisms (so, you can use an arbitrary security mechanism such as EAP to authenticate yourself to the KDC), the new SAnon …

You also need synchronization to mix sources (common in any production) without incurring the latency and resampling of asynchronous sample rate conversion.

There’s also AES70, or OCA ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46934318 ). More popular in audio than video, something of a competitor to NMOS (although there are parts of NMOS …

IOKit was designed to support CoreAudio from the start, cc gvdl.

That is a beautiful piece of industrial design.

XMOS is still keeping the Inmos dream alive, more or less!
