Popular and/or widespread does not mean good. Common misconception.

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 they are calculating and how (in a specific and narrow way - whether you agree with it or not).

There should be some kind filter/litmus test to prevent people commenting here if they didn't view/read the site first [1]. It will save the rest of us some time reading alot of these garbage comments[2].

[1]: yes I know this is hard problem to solve (if solvable at all), but my general point stands. HN comment quality is steadily degrading because people cant be bothered to RTFA

[2]: Probably should just stop coming here in the first place

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 40%.

A key clue and explains why so much of what Microsoft puts out is garbage. Wow.

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 missed the fake citation(s). This failure suggests that some of these papers might have been accepted by ICLR without any intervention. Some had average ratings of 8/10, meaning they would almost certainly have been published.

If the peer reviewers can't be bothered to do the basics, then there is literally no point to peer review, which is fully independent of the author who uses or doesn't use AI tools.

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

Congratulations, you just described the primary reasons for using languages like Rust - the polar opposite of Python & co.

Yeah, this is not a new concept and I remember seeing one of his videos that explains this concept really well. Here the relevant video from 9 years ago for those uninitiated:

Physical Wifi/BLE/5G kill switches, but no SD card slot or audio jack? Odd choices.

No please don't do this. I have lost count how many times I tried to follow a link only to get a 404 page. If there is an issue where the app gives the user an error, show the error details & context directly and list the possible mitigation steps right then and there.

A URL with specific content is just another thing that now needs to be maintained along with the code and failure modes.

This is easily bypassed and/or worked around. What is to prevent an indefinite investigation? The FBI D.B Cooper case was open for decades, for example.

> RP2354 has Flash finally

The flash is QSPI, so its not really on die flash with a real flash controller. There is some QSPI cache but it’s really a band-aid solution to not having the real thing. People around the net don't seem to understand the difference and it can be very misleading.

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 objects. Unfortunately, most third-party debuggers don't support it. And like you said, any non-trivial program in Rust is basically not parsible without digger though 50 layers of nested abstractions.

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 to do something useful, you already lost.

There are many reasons why Linux is not popular, but the over reliance on commandline is a obvious one I rarely hear people mention.

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

Reminds me of this [1] great talk from Casey Muratori.

> but should not be so large as to be an instant kill for what could be a legal business

Why not? A corporate death penalty should absolutely be a thing. If we can have it for people, then we can have it for a business. The problem is that government sucks at doing its own job and the usual punishments are a joke.

Ok, we can ban M&A for all businesses who exceed $x million in revenue. Mom & pop can still put the work in and cash out, but bigger businesses are prohibited from eating eating their competitors and preventing disruptive businesses from growing and having a fair shot in the market.

The $x million limit can be decided upon based on the industry and other factors.

>nobody would ever create Goodreads

Lots of people create of businesses and pursue non-profitable enterprises for non-profitable reasons.

Someone else posted a really compelling video where they test the power efficiency of Android and Apple phones.

Its really quite informative.

MKBHD did a recent video on this [1]. The car charging infrastructure is just as important to the electric car experience as the electric car itself.

What good is that high advertised speed if you can never get it during most of the day or peak times? We should skip the bullshit and only sustained minimum speeds should be allowed to be advertised. It would at least give the ISP the incentive to invest more their infrastructure.

This is the same method I use. I always wondered why they didn't use the cardinal directions (north, east, south, west) or why they didn't use the hours of a clock face to indicate direction. With the clock face, you get even more precision where exactly something happened. Man overboard, 4 o'clock!

I consider such bureaucratic red tape as a form of corruption.
