bootloop··on Yocto, RockPi and SBOMs: Building modern embedded Linux images
I am actually scared of switching jobs in case my next job doesn't involve yocto.

How would I make use of the countless hours I have already invested in this piece of software? Countless keywords and the dark magic of the ever changing syntax.

But when it works it works..

bootloop··on Migraine is more than a headache – a rethink offers hope
Yes that's silent migraine with aura, you experience the visual effects but not the headache. It's rare but happens for some people.

The representation is really good in my opinion! Gives me flashbacks.

bootloop··on Migraine is more than a headache – a rethink offers hope
I got told that it could be indeed the case that my brain continuously has small seizures but only from time to time they break trough and cause the pain and auras which I would then experience. They wanted to measure the brainwaves to figure out if that was the case. That would also somehow fit what OP said, so I guess this is known in the medical world already. Or at least something in that direction.
bootloop··on Migraine is more than a headache – a rethink offers hope
Yes, its much more common for women, its rare for men.
bootloop··on Migraine is more than a headache – a rethink offers hope
After checking on my migraine with aura by doing a MRI they found a large AVM in my brain which could kill me any time.

So if you get the chance, take an brain MRI. You never know what they might find.

I also have migraine with aura. There are visual effects but also when I am looking into the mirror I can't see half of my face and give this is a wrong perception of reality you might consider it a hallucination?

Anything backing this up except that one report? I haven't heard of headaches or migraines causing permanent damage.
bootloop··on Google removed 2.36M apps from Google Play using AI threat detection
> we prevented 2.36 million policy-violating apps from being published on Google Play

"Removed" as in the title would imply for me these apps did hit the Google Play store at one point and were then removed. But from the article itself it sounds more like these were never made available in the first place?

bootloop··on Escaping Google's Manual Reputation Penalty and Resuming Business as Usual
I mean that is exactly what each and every Google team does. There is no decision being made without having the data "supporting" it.

But every graph can be shown nicely and things which are common sense don't need a metric to proof it.

bootloop··on I've had a change of heart regarding employee metrics
That just means as a tech-lead you end up not only putting blame on the (broken) tech but also blame the people right with it?

I don't think that is a smart thing to do within office politics.

I do agree that you can elevate people with potential, to build something of value with them, but I would stay away of trying to get people fired or replaced.

bootloop··on Ask HN: How to store and share passwords in a company?
I use a similar flow with the technical team to avoid unencrypted credentials in SCM. The vault (or other secrets) are encrypted with a common passphrase and then only this passphrase is whats encrypted with GPG for multiple recipients.
bootloop··on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team
Mostly because business apps have to appear similar to the platform UI. Games do not, they have to look the same regardless of the platform in use.

And making a cross platform app framework which looks like native UI is much harder.

In contrast, Unity's UI systems are all terrible and looking native isn't even one of their goals.

bootloop··on Ask HN: What's Your Favorite Game Dev Video Lecture?
GDC videos are great. Maybe too specific and also more related to technical artist but I found the videos Martin Donald put together really nice: https://youtu.be/KfphtLRoUB0?si=FkYb5F8Wui79mQzb

Unfortunately there are only a handful, but quality over quantity right.

bootloop··on Japan cracks down on use of rideable electric suitcases amid tourist boom
They need a new vehicle category? Why does an electric bicycle need a driver license in the first place?
bootloop··on gRPC: The Bad Parts
Do you know of an example where this is done? I didn't know that and we are currently using a customized wire format (based on a patched Thrift), so I thought gRPC wouldn't be an option for us.
bootloop··on My personal reasons to not run my Nginx reverse-proxy inside Docker
Just run it in LXC. Then the container is not immutable but the process will still be isolated with it's dependencies. And infrastructure as code, with Ansible etc, all possible.

Also the talk about docker being itself a dependency I can't really follow. I guess you would have many other dockers also running, otherwise being nxing the only thing within docker.. that doesn't make much sense..

bootloop··on How we built the Find My Device network with user security and privacy in mind
That has nothing to do with bluetooth. It's scans for tags, but the location is still reported constantly by the phone.
bootloop··on Google Podcasts is gone – and so is my faith in Google
Works for the employees, because maintaining a service in as-is state doesn't bring promotion opportunities, so who would want to be part of that?

Not sure if anyone at Google really cares about Google in general. And who could blame them?

bootloop··on Tesla worker killed in fiery crash may be first 'Full Self-Driving' fatality
Of course they do... but also the first time I hear that, didn't know.
bootloop··on Winding down Google Sync and Less Secure Apps support
Sure you can, you just have to complete the OAuth2 login on a different device (e.g. phone) and then forward the token to the device which has no web browser.

On the phone itself the WebView limitation is worked around via deep linking (start Browser from App and once logged in start App from Browser with token).

There are tons of different ways how to do this actively being used.

bootloop··on Unity Software plans to reduce its workforce by 25%, eliminating ~1,800 jobs
Please correct me if I am wrong, but from a bit of looking around it seems Stride is using Mono as a runtime for on mobile platforms like iOS. [0] So similar to Unity (which worked around this using their IL2CPP backend) it actually is behind Godot in terms of C# language / feature support. It is true that Godot community only started to get serious about C#, but they have a good pace, and already have support for the latest .NET with AOT.

Personally I have no interest in GDScript, but I recently ported a rather large C# code-base from Unity to Godot and I never had to touch GDScript. So it can happily be ignored. In general it took me less time to rewrite the code-base then implementing some of the workarounds for missing features in Unity (e.g. HTTP2) in the first place.

bootloop··on Unity Software plans to reduce its workforce by 25%, eliminating ~1,800 jobs
Yes but from the big picture perspective Unity does get paid by bigger companies for features which trickle down to users.

On the other side Godot does not have this bandwidth so at the moment you have to bring your own engine team for your own needs. And because of that many "unsexy" features are not as good as they could be.

That said, I see a lot of movement and the Fund raised significantly in the last months. And the fact that stuff is open source helped me so much compared to Unity where you might have documentation but the feature just doesn't work and you can't figure out why..

bootloop··on Ask HN: Has the tech recession affected you?
I have the same feeling. As usual everything is a bit less volatile here.
bootloop··on Intel, Samsung, and TSMC Demo 3D-Stacked Transistors
Aren't Intel, TSMC and Samsung all customers (and investors) of ASML, which is actually the manufacturer and developer of the EUV (ultraviolet) machines this refers to? Basically, if at all, they might have a slight exclusivity deal, but given the owner structure you can imagine that this will not really affect anything in the long run. With the willingness of spending the money on new nodes they will have the technology too.
bootloop··on The Secret Behind Qualcomm's Margins? Patents
I guess that is what competition brings to the table.
bootloop··on Good old fashion ML is dying
Before I clicked I did not think "good old fashion ML" would refer to deep learning. :-)
bootloop··on Google says bumpy Pixel 8 screens are nothing to worry about
Saying anything else would make the liable and could mean they would have to replace them, so for sure they would claim it's not affecting longevity?
bootloop··on Hackers spent 2 years looting secrets of chipmaker NXP before being detected
I am sure there was nothing of that sort to be found. :-)
bootloop··on The hijacking of rare Japanese KitKats
There is a whole industry around this and it's done regularly, so yes.
bootloop··on The hijacking of rare Japanese KitKats
Yea, I also think you are right. Something smells funny here.

Question is if the insurance reads this article or is even interested to recoup their money.
