Is there a technical reason why this shouldn't be a goal? I've spent the better part of my software career in making systems "as easy as gluing things together." Granted, I have written myself out of a lot of jobs, but I work for interest in the system and making something, not to give myself a job.
It would be nice to hae a real-time option for the rpi, but soft rt can be made to work well enough in many cases where something physically is being controlled (car, rocket, sprinkler). Mostly because solutions can be calculated much faster than available processing time. So you calculate a control law in soft real time and spit out the control signal based on a hard rt clock. I haven't tried it with the rpi, but works very well under windows.`
What's depressing is that I can (and do) go to any of the other countless websites on the internet to read this stuff and with much (much) higher levels of quality comments, but have to read this stuff when I go to a website purporting to be 'news for nerds'. It has driven away all the people who want to discuss things like slab allocators. When was the last time someone had to read about real time mutex passing on a cnn website?
I don't know why you're here, but can only assume that it has nothing to do with being a 'nerd'.
living -- and living well, not on deprivation -- on roughly "poverty-level" spending (e.g. $20K/year)
I am and do and have a very comfortable life. It pisses me off when so many people say you can't do it. If you can't, the wtf am I doing? Granted my car is 25 years old, but I don't need to drive anywhere. Cars are very poor investments. But I own a nice house(s), eat good food have lots of toys to play with and take a lot of vacations.
This is the truth and a major cause of so many people's problems. I know quite a few people from Eastern European and Asian countries who seem to thrive in the US even though they make less, often significantly so, than their native counterparts. Maybe it's something in the water...
You could live like a king in the US too if you moved someplace really cheap. Also living like a king in many countries may not be what you envision it to be like.
Surprisingly, the cost of most things is the same to a large extent anywhere in the world. Remember that mall that was attacked a few years ago? I shopped there a few times before and prices were comparable to anything you'd find in LA or NYC (or Las Vegas, NM). Similarly, if you move out to a rural area in the US it's entirely possible, at least was for me and many around me, to live on a couple thousand dollars a year.
I have a neighbor who was, in the US, renting out her whole house for $50/month. It's just as easy to live very inexpensively in the US as it is to live expensively in undeveloped countries.
According to Spengler, the Western world is ending and we are witnessing the last season—"winter time"—of Faustian Civilization. In Spengler's depiction, Western Man is a proud but tragic figure because, while he strives and creates, he secretly knows the actual goal will never be reached.
Based on many online discussions over decades, re: diesel, largely internet unanimous and with people from Europe and Japan extolling the benefits of diesel, why single out automakers?
Carroll Quigley (/kwli/; November 9, 1910 – January 3, 1977) was an American historian and theorist of the evolution of civilizations.
Quigley concludes, from a historical study of weapons and political dynamics, that the characteristics of weapons are the main predictor of democracy.[10][11] Democracy tends to emerge only when the best weapons available are easy for individuals to buy and use.[12] This explains why democracy is so rare in human history.[13]
uh, people are still 'doing science' on Viking data. The real science is not done for years and decades after the observation which is mostly an engineering exercise.

that leak memory like a sieve
I've worked on a number of very large software projects in C and have never had to do dynamic memory allocation. In fact, it's never been allowed.

It has been in much of my experience. vxWorks for example.
A ridiculously scaled down computer that is equivalent to a mainframe computer a few years ago.

SIX FUCKING HOURS of unpaid travel time
That was my daily bus time to college. Leave 5am for an 8:40 am class.

youve never been further than 100 miles from your front door.
I lived in Kenya, another place made wealthy by the slave trade.

That's an interesting point about military schools. Is today's military in worse shape because of poverty?
Myths about unsocialized home-schoolers are false, and most are well prepped for college, experts say.
This is the premise to Niel Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death . Good book.

You, my friend, are a citizen scientist of the highest magnitude.

Maybe he could try calling his ISP.

Exactly why we need more democracy.
