I'm currently considering one of these for a DSP/Synth project I am working on. Although that will still have a small squadron of smaller boards (including 'Pis) working with it.
I love the horsepower, memory potential, and especially the M2 connection of the SolidRun but, as you said, for my uses GPIO etc is a must
So, even more over bloated, inefficient, security challenging, buggy current slurping rubbish except that its now embedded in a unit that isn't going to be updated because its locked into a poorly conceived quickly hacked to market 'embedded' system. Lovely....
"every book I've read, every professor I've talked to, every lecture I've attended" pretty much says it all.
Some of us have been in this game a long time. Decades. Some of us still love the subject and, unlike the more recent crop of 'developers' still care about efficiency and choosing the right tool for the job. Smaller, more efficient, low power consuming and easy to program 8/16 bit units are used all the time, and for good reason. An RTOS does add additional overheads and can consume precious clock cycles and, thus, current. Sometimes that trade off is worthwhile but, increasingly in the world of IoT, the relevance of these 'ancient' ideas are again being seen as critically relevant.
Given your comment, I can only assume you are still in school or have only just left it. That means that, no matter how good your academic record is, and no matter how clever you think you have been with any little amateur/school projects you might have completed , you are still wet behind the ears and, apparently, quite arrogant. Give it a couple of years before shooting your mouth off as, while not all, quite a few of your elders are your betters.
PS. Good move on posting as an AC. It might have saved you a few lost job interviews.
Given just how noxious most rocket fuels are and, no doubt, the number of safety corner cut in the rush to beat the Soviets, I suspect that most of these facilities are far too contaminated to be economically rehabilitated for any other use in the foreseeable future.
One can tell you have probably never written anything longer than a snarky comment comprising of a handfull of sentences on/.
If by this you infer that Martin is a 'Grumpy old man' then you have to be, at least mentally and intellectually, a 'Hasty immature child'.
Wordperfect on DOS was close to perfect for writing. WordStar was not far behind and, in fact, provided the virtually standard program editor keystrokes on microcomputers for many years. You could write as the muse took you, never needing to faff around with a mouse, or wave your hands against an increasingly greasy touch screen. The modern GUI type interfaces may work well for 'bears of very little brain' but real writers much prefer to get ideas from their heads into the computer with as little interruption and distraction as possible.
Why not go research a little more, before being disrespectful to someone who has likely been far more productive and successful than yourself, and subsequently shooting your mouth off.
Telling people that their countries are not countries is insulting and just because you say it isn't doesn't make it right.
All of the bodies you cite are ephemeral modern organisational groups who will have a terminology to suit their uses and conveniences. Just because they choose to redefine something for their convenience doesn't make it a fact outside of their organisation.
Your choice of organisations to cite is also very amusing since most of them, except CERN, do have rather dubious reputations in many parts of the World. and I know a great many people, and likely many countries and nations, who would not accept their authority should they try to redefine ideas of nationality and country boundaries. And, frankly, were you really reaching to find something when you included CERN ?
Are you saying Google glass is a religion? Tech toys tend not to be as central to peoples lives as religion.
You get an F- for comprehension.
I am not saying it is a religion and I cannot see how anyone who actually reads with an intent to comprehend, rather than get off on deluding themselves they made a clever point, would infer that. I gave an example of not giving in to people who who hold an extreme position.
Go back and do the lesson again and try for a better mark next time.
I didn't forget Northern Ireland but was talking about countries.
Northern Ireland is not a country by itself but is usually referred to as a province or region of the UK. There are many in Northern Ireland who consider themselves to be ethnically Irish and who's family lines and roots in that region pre-date the 'invasions' by the English and the Scottish Protestants. It was mostly these 'immigrants' who were concentrated in this area who forced the country to be partitioned in 1921 when the rest of Eire was given independence and became the Irish Free State. In many sporting and cultural events, many Northern Irish residents compete for Ireland, rather than Great Britain or the UK.
Northern Ireland is a very complex place/issue but, in and of itself, it is not a country
Amusing but most British know that the correct response to 'England? Where's that?" is "Ah. You're an American. You have my fullest sympathies and I hear there are now therapies to help alleviate the symptoms. Just go to your psychiatrist and ask for a prescription of 'Education'. Hopefully, despite the indications, the FDA haven't yet officially banned it ":)
I didn't forget Northern Ireland. However, we were talking about countries and, if you know something about history, you will realise that Northern Ireland is not a country. or a nation.
Well, excuse me for not taking the uneducated opinion of arbitrary people on the Internet seriously.
While it may come as a shock to you, countries existed before the UN and NATO, and will continue to exist after those organisations are long defunct.
Perhaps you need to educate yourself a little bit more before insulting 50+ million people with your rubbish and learn that there are countries outside of the UN that are still considered but their inhabitants, and others, to be countries.
You might (just about - if you are lucky and the Rugby isn't on the TV) survive saying that in a pub in one of the UK's constituent countries, but we natives consider them to be countries, as do most discussions and articles I have ever read about the Acts of Union:)
I would call the UK the nation (as would most Brits) which is comprised of the constituent countries. I don't argue that they are not also nations - they are - but a nation can be seen as a much more nebulous entity, often more to do with cultural identity, than distinct geographic boundaries alone.
Obviously there were other' there who don't buy into her story. How about just not wearing Google glasses in bars? How hard would that be?
You mean like 'How about not practising a non XYZ religion when intolerant XYZ fundamentalists are around?
Why not apply some brain cells? How hard would that be?
She was using legal technology that has capabilities similar to most mobile phones and tablets in use today. Most likely the abusive asses who caused this conflict in the first place (and probably you, yourself) have such technology. Should we all yell, scream and bay like a pack of rabid wolves when someone takes out a cell phone with a camera, or a tablet? That one it has become fashionable for one form of the same technology to be vilified is hardly a trend worth respecting, if only because it is retarded. Go after all cameras in a public place (including the ones you carry) if you really feel that way.
What about the bar itself? Its extremely unlikely that it had no security cameras - did those same idiots, including the one who physically assaulted her, and stole her device (illegally, unlike her) not consider that? What about any other bar, shop, workplace, street, etc that they have walked down? Do they go around with balaclavas and baseball bats smashing the cameras in case they are recorded?
These people, and the people who go off half cocked in support of them and their criminal actions really need to start thinking reasonably and logically.
Oh, and before you mention reports of who hit who first, just remember that had these people not been confrontational then it would have never escalated to that level and you don't know the level of threat that was presented. Additionally, it should be reasonable to assume that she was right in feeling threatened since, were this not the case, this would never have come to pass.
So, how much better do you think some humans will translate if their language skills are not very high? Am I the only one who remembers Chinese to English translations from before the days of ubiquitous MLT (let alone today:) ) ?
nope. USA is a country. England is not. The country is "The United Kingdom" of which England is one part.
Well, that comes as a big surprise to those of us who were born in one of the countries that comprise the United Kingdom. All this time we believed that Wales, England, and Scotland were each separate countries, with unique cultures and languages that were just part of the UK. Maybe history and having separate laws and legislative systems got us poor little souls confused.
How lucky we are to have such experts on the InterWebz who can set us straight.
Would this action not have put them in breach of contract? Could you not seek a termination of said contract, with subsequent loss of their 'rights' to your paper, as well as costs and compensation to yourself for both the breach and the implied dafamation? Also wouldn't there also be a spurious takedown which might help you in the other a rguments?
then you should care about the code, as well. Choice of language can have a lot of consequences for accuracy and floating rounding errors need to be accounted for, and these may differ per language and implementation version of each language.
I cannot imagine that the parent company cannot contractually discipline a franchise should they bring the brand into disrepute.
Unless the brand owner takes action to disassociate itself from this action and withdraw support from this franchise, I will not set foot in any branch or franchise of this company world-wide because I need to know that I can exercise my rights to share my fair opinions without threat of legal action should I get bad service.
That is not what you said. You mad an assumption about the OP and byt your tone and approach determined that a REAL DEVELOPER would use nothing but a text editor. I was refuting that as patently barking.
I also have met alleged 'pros' who couldn't tell a tag from a headbut on the keyboard and have deep sixed more than a few when I've taken over the teams. I am rabit about W3C standards.
Your second paragraph of your reply was much more sensible and had you said it in the first place, I doubt you would have had the responses that you have felt it necessary to defend yourself from.
And how, on Earth, is this a problem? There are many reasons why this should be amd it doesn't have to be a purely ideological issue.
I earn my living from writing commercial systems and software. In doing this I use both commercial and OS software. I have also produced code that I've released as OS and PD.
This is the real world and there are lots of reasons, choices and options. There is nothing wrong with wanting to use free/Open Source sw on an proprietory OS. Esp if it is an OS that is so pervasive as to be impossible to ignore.
A brilliant tool. I may not use it for complete site development, but it is certainly one of the tools in my workshop. Anyone with an OS capable of running it should have it, in my biased opinion:)
I like hand coding, I like the freedom it gives me. I like knowing that my code is properly 'generated' and conforming. I DONT like that it can take so long. I DONT like that it is easy to make bad mistakes. I DONT like having to wade through code to correct said mistakes after I've validated the code.
Yes, a PROFESSIONAL web developer should have the appropriate WebFu skills. Running dev teams I have no patience for alleged developers who cannot. They have no place saying they are web developers unless they can handle these things. However it doesn't mean that they shouldn't use IDE's. I don't need to wear nice cotten and silk shirts, but I'll be damned if I'll wear sack-cloth just to look hard and keep people like you happy.
The true PROFESSIONAL knows when to use the appropriate skill and tool for the task at hand. If I want a new cellar built, I would consider the block with the backhoe more professional than the guy with a beach spade and bucket. He may be able to do the job, eventually, but it would be a long slow process. The guy with the machine minght have to hop into the pit to finish by hand, but he will be using the right tool at the right time and he will get the job done quickly. Professionally. Cheaply.
