Nice work! I'm also a fan of the runtime only frameworks. They might not be as efficient as the compiled counterparts on paper, but in my experience the performance loss is almost …

Really cool work, congrats! I built my own frontend framework for similar reasons: https://github.com/fresho-dev/mancha . It was meant to adress the lack of lightweight solutions t…

Corollary to your statement: of the very small ( https://apilevels.com/

What hardware are you using? I recently finished a project myself and I'd like to do more with e-ink but the hardware "driver" that plugs into the pi costs as much as the e-ink dis…

You can use Wikidata and its Sparql query language for this. Although it's not straight forward for all countries, e.g. some have especial properties for regional breakdowns that a…

Shameless plug to my own version of this: http://mngo.org/fire

> Does it work with Raspberry Pis and the CSI cameras? What about my Logitech USB camera? I don't know details about the Raspberry Pi cameras, but if it's a UVC camera (quite likel…

I'm surprised to see such big emphasis on support for Android. Most camera modules come with their own drivers that already provide Android support. One benefit could be the licens…

Sounds reasonable. So, what's the timeline on solving those problems? Ten years? Fifteen? [1] https://xkcd.com/1232/

Maybe someone can take a second look at the paper. I couldn't find the published version, just a manuscript[1] (kudos to the authors for making it available under CC license). But.…

I haven't read the paper in full detail, but reading between the lines I'm guessing that there's a significant portion of manual processing and hand waving involved. From the abstr…

By your definition, how can a REST API be idempotent? Say that GET(user) = john so, what I'm interpreting is that: GET( GET(user) ) = GET(john) = john. That doesn't seem valid to m…

I fail to understand the need to re-use terms from other fields in a completely twisted way. For those like me wondering what an "idempotent API" is: making multiple identical requ…

That is exactly how the Spectacles work. Bluetooth is only used for transfer as a fallback mechanism.

I'd say that the Windows equivalent is https://chocolatey.org/ . It has the largest amount of "packages" from all other similar efforts that I have seen.

The EULA for it is the same, but the underlying system is totally different. I am 100% sure about this :-) But, as you noted, a lot of the telemetry instrumentation has been backpo…

Also wrong. The telemetry in Windows 8 was just in critical components that had been instrumented long ago, such as Windows Update, crash management, etc. None of those were using …

Thanks for sharing that! Some of them are just a big pile of CSS which I don't know if it's a better option than JavaScript... But others were pure gold and a very clever use of HT…

Actually, no. Microsoft instrumented essentially every OS component (and sharing backend infrastructure, universal telemetry client, etc.) starting in Windows 10. Prior to that, it…

Shameless plug: I have been working on my own code editor as well, I wanted something between Notepad++ and Jupyter Notebooks; I called it TeIDE: https://github.com/omtinez/teide F…

Well, are you gonna share that with us? :-)

Actually, I had a similar experience. For that reason, I decided to work on a side project precisely to encourage people to get started lifting weights and lose the fear of going t…
