Instead of Gogs it is now recommended to use Gitea, since it has more activity (~400 more commits last time I checked) and is community driven: https://gitea.io/

According to their Blog: Gitea is a community fork of the popular self-hosted Git service Gogs. We’re a growing group of former Gogs users and contributors who found the single-maintainer management model of Gogs frustrating and thus decided to make an effort to build a more open and faster development model. https://blog.gitea.io/2016/12/welcome-to-gitea/

My phone also has the insane 3GB of RAM, but last week Chrome killed Spotify and vice versa (music stopped playing) as soon as I switched apps. Sadly 3GB is not enough for Android and todays apps.

did you file a bug for this? I thought it was pretty resilient in such cases

What is the most capable programmable device, that would not be considered a computer by the rules? How about a graphical calculator like a TI-83?

While I was stuck in school and did not have access to a computer, I wanted to challenge myself during classes. The most interesting distraction by far was to play around with the programming functions of my TI-82 calculator that was required for math classes. Even with almost no idea about programming I could soon do interesting things with it, because it is programmed using a version of BASIC. In the end I even created a clone of snake. It worked, but moving one block ahead would take 2 seconds.

This is a pretty good cross platform Go debugger: https://github.com/mailgun/godebug

Probably I don't really get the point of this article, or the exact changes in the hardware ecosystem when the density scaling stops? Because although scaling became harder recently, I don't think we have reached the point where the processing performance increase per year is slowing down.

I have a problem with that paragraph: Even if it takes a couple of years and several iterations for a self-taught engineer to reproduce, the resulting product isn't terribly out of date: the iPhone has only undergone a modest increase in clock rate over the past four years, from 1GHz in the iPhone 4 to 1.4GHz in today's iPhone 6. This relative stagnation is endemic, leaving a large window of opportunity for engineers to learn from and emulate the designs of the best.

The iPhone 6 was released with iOS 8, which doesn't support the iPhone 4 anymore. Also the CPU performance of the A8 in the iPhone 6 has 12x the performance of the iPhone 4. If you still want to use current apps, an iPhone 4 is really outdated.

On the other hand for the Novena laptop of the author the same principles might not hold true, but that has more to do with software than hardware, because especially Linux works very well with not so recent hardware. In my experience Android and iOS software became way more processing power hungry than desktop software did over the last 4 years.

It will be really great when microcontrollers are made in todays advanced nodes. Besides becoming more powerful their low power consumption will be ideal for new applications like IOT and sensors everywhere.

This is what I meant. While I looked over some benchmarks I saw that a single Haswell thread for example seems to be 3-4 times faster than a Pentium 4.

This is so wrong. They are acting if processors can only get better by increasing chip speeds. If that were the case todays quad core CPUs with 3GHz should match the performance of a Pentium 4 3GHz * cores, which is definitely not the case.

SpaceX will achieve reusability in multiple steps, first recovering the first stage, then the second stage and so on. The cost will go down, but probably not very soon and not so fast.

We have no code to show yet because the main focus of our product is on the hardware. It only makes sense to make code public as soon as people can play with the hardware.

I am sorry, now I know I posted too early.

I totally see your point and you are right, we were just so excited that I posted too early.

We already started writing a page with technical details. We have a prototype that is running for months, and we are making a video to demonstrate the hardware and the app.

I am so proud to be finally able to share the project we were working on for the last six months. Developed by two fanatics for efficient electronics and high performance software, Exahome is the first intelligent home automation system that improves your comfort while saving energy and resources. It is designed as an open ecosystem allowing everybody to extend it and build modules or extend the software via APIs. We would love to read your feedback.
