Opinionated just like the other guy
What I'm really looking for see through electronic components :)
That said, it absolutely boggles the mind that an HDMI output for this thing would be taken care of by an RPi, that is many orders of magnitude more powerful, and power efficient than the device at hand.
Thank you.
What is this going to lead to? fascinating times.
That is very worrying. Normally this would never fly, but nowadays it's kind of OK?
Why should false and or inaccurate results be accepted?
Countless people were touched by his work and remember it decades later.
Thank you for sharing this!
I don't even look at crate versions but the stuff works, very well. The resulting code is stable, robust and the crates save an inordinate amount of development time. It's like lego for high end, high performance code.
With Rust and the crates you can build actual, useful stuff very quickly. Hit a bug in a crate or have missing functionality? contribute.
Software is something that is almost always a work in progress and almost never perfect, and done. It's something you live with. Try any of this in C or C++.
To keep them running for decades Linux or other open source operating systems are pretty much the only choice. Not only for performance (which is better) but also because Windows will phase old hardware support out, it's just what they've always done, and will always continue doing.
At the end almost everything in life is about interests. It's clearly in the best interests of one country, or union of countries, to do their thing and reduce reliance on others.
Being totally migrated to Linux by then I refused to use Windows for writing as well as building it, so I worked hard to build it with MSYS.
Long story short, I made it, and the driver worked great.
I think I had to write a patcher for the resulting PE (.sys) to get it to actually load.
Fun times.
Well deserved.
It's lovely to see HN so nice and friendly, keep it up guys!
We probably don't have any of that with software, yet.
