Some reasons why non-technical folks might be interested in the Pinephone:

1) avoid the privacy issues of Android & iOS 2) have the confidence that as long as their hardware work, they will have updates 3) buy from a brand that will allow you (or a third party) to fix your hardware (Pine64 sells you spare parts, and at reasonable prices!) 4) have an user-replaceable battery 5) have an affordable smartphone (I know, there are 30$ android phones but they tick none of the above points)

The points 2 to 4 will interest an increasing number of people this century, imo

edit: typos

Well, it is easier to place all the components in a bigger phone :)

I too prefer small screens, but I bought a Pinephone anyway to support the effort and help testing.

Typed from Firefox on my Pinephone Braveheart running Mobian (works fine for me).

Alma (co-op) | Software Engineers | Grenoble, French Alps, France | Onsite | Full-time | language: French

Alma was founded 41 years ago as an operation research company working on sheet nesting for CAM (have a look at the demo of our saas offer: https://demo.powernestlib.com/ ). Over the years Alma has been diversifying into other areas such as sheet cutting, 3D robots programming (e.g. for welding), IT services and health-care: https://www.alma.fr/en/

Alma is a cooperative: a new employee becomes an associate one year after joining. All shareholders are employees and at the shareholder meeting each associate has 1 vote (regardless of their seniority/capital).

You must speak French or be willing to learn it: English would be ok for technical discussions but less practical for coffe-break discussions, shareholders meetings, etc. We may be able to help for visas. Our offers (in French): https://recrutement.alma.fr/listeoffre.asp Please use this page to candidate to an offer, or contact rh AT alma.fr and mention that you are coming from HN.

I really like matplotlib: while it is not intuitive and the documentation is sometimes lacking, there are a lot of examples online and stackoverflow answers all my questions.

That said I may use matplotlib much less than you do (I used it a lot when I was a student, now maybe 6 times a year).

If one of the usb port allow OTG someone can hack a driver to turn the 400 into a keyboard (albeit a very bloated one as it would be running a full OS!).

And DOS, NES, Amiga, Apple I, Apple II, Z80 ! I am new to FPGAs so it is a bit difficult to know what to expect from a given number of LUTs, but you can compare between models: the big version of ECP5 in ULX3S has 85k LUTs while the previous well open-source supported FPGA (iCE40) had only up to 7.7 k LUTs, so more than a 10x jump :)

Welcome to C# 9.0 6 years ago

I would like to know what is the future of Mono now that dotnet core is crossplatform and Microsoft bought Xamarin.

Mono remains the best (only?) solution to call C# from C++ in a crossplatform way using embedding.

Yet depth from stereo is, to some extent, AI because the matching of pixels that corresponds to the same physical point is not trivial and uses heuristics.
