I'm currently running thunderbird in a docker image

Why?

I, for one, would love for the Kernel to tell users to f themselves sometimes an break compatibility. In that order.

Is 499 EUR for that BOM fair? Genuinely asking... high end SoM modules with carrier boards and a metric ton of software can be obtained by half of that price, and op-amps aren't that costly.

Look... I'm a Kubernetes dude through and through. I put Kubernetes in small embedded devices to control factory shops, so, I'm a fan.

But let's all agree this maybe is a tad much, shall we?

Please, kill Jira and Confluence. I hate Atlassian tools so much. The user interfaces are sluggish no matter the hardware you're using... it's a shame it became almost a standard in our industry.

Other comments have put better than I could, but I'll add that what people call ecosystems nowadays is completely unthinkable in embedded. Sometimes you have critical applications and you bet you need to certify every single line of code that goes into your application. Small embedded devices are more geared towards engineering than other kinds of development, and in my opinion that's why applications work well, in comparison with the mess we have in the web nowadays, for example.

So people who make money from collecting them don't have to dig in trash. Pure humanity.

I've lived in Germany, and this was one of the things I quickly adopted after seeing the locals doing it. An interesting anecdote is that can/bottle collectors always approached me asking if I'm finished with my drink (I had a drink outside almost daily), but I never felt threatened or anything. They were generally super polite, I'd usually reply with "I'll leave it here" and they went along their way. Very different experience than anywhere else!

The truth is: we, actual embedded developers, much rather compile a LUA interpreter and stick it in there and be done with it.

We are slowly getting better at this. Most embedded Linux companies for example have shifted or are in the process of shifting to an upstream-first policy. A lot of the toolchains are open, busybox is used everywhere. A lot of the really good HALs are open source. We're getting there!

I would recommend learning and using sh unless you really need Bash.

I don't buy this argument. Ok, it's a standard, but sometimes it's a pain-in-the-hole standard. Bash augmentations lessen some of the pains, and it's just nicer. The only situation is if you're using busybox in a very limited system or you reeeeeally need your script to run on many difference unices, which let's be honest, is not that common nowadays.

Very cool!

Does anybody know something like a translator tool between all the different `yaml`s different CI/CD services use? Or maybe some metalanguage specifically made for that that can run instead of whatever hell dash/bash is.

I wish I could just jump ships altering a `script` tag in whatever `yaml` from whichever service.

Map is not loading for me. Maybe it got hugged to death?

Without code search, you might have to clone a bunch of repositories and grep through them

Why is this an issue? I do have a clone of all my company repos, doesn't everyone? Memory is cheap and ripgrep/ag are fast.

Alpine, Debian and Arch have never given me a miss regarding packaging for arm64/hf. And I work specifically with embedded Linux using those distros as a base.

I wish it was just a matter of the `-<version>` thing... Debian metadata (control, rules...) and its build system (sbuild, rebuild) is arcane and feels old. Having to maintain a Debian feed is a major PITA.

Did we have "search engineers" back when search engines and indexers were first created?

This is awesome. Really nice!

It's not really over complicating anything, though? It makes perfect sense, it's not hard to understand. Nested VMs have been a thing for a looong time. I honestly don't understand where the criticism for Docker and k8s comes from. Some of HN comments sound like old men shouting at the clouds because they don't understand modern technology and its purposes.

If you want, go right ahead with your managed, on-site VMs where you copy a .php file to an Apache server using a thumb drive and restart the service. I don't care. But that's not how modern teams are working.

Kind is super cool! I used it for my thesis, as I needed many nodes without getting super into k8s configuration. I love, love kind. If you're into learning Kubernetes, it's probably the easiest way to get yourself a cluster quickly.

So many of the smart, lovely people you meet here are stuck on absurdly low salaries

Let me tell you about third world countries...

We should physically burn all the servers that ever held the information inside this repo and bury the remains inside a nuclear waste long-term storage.

I hate it. 10/10.

I used it as a reference for the Welford's method of calculating the mean and variance, and for other random things throughout the years. If you need a solid /reference/ for some mathematical-computerish thing, it's probably there.

https://www.toradex.com/torizon they do and it works quite well. Super handy to have CI/CD and easy OTA updates with containers.

Don't you think it's just neat? I think it's neat.

The "triple equal" or "really really equal" or whatever we call it is the stupidest thing a language can have. If your language needs something like that, it already failed* somewhere along the way.

* Which doesn't imply it's not useful.

poorer side of Europe

Which is still much, much wealthier than most of colonized nations... except for Russia, due to the extreme political decline after the fall of the USSR.

Many highly prosperous European countries of today didn't have massive overseas holdings, or only for a short time.

And I never said "colonies are needed for wealth". What is your point, exactly?

Even more so when the current economic prosperity of the colonizing countries is still very much derived from their past. Sadly, most people living in said countries today don't realize how set back the colonies really were due to exploitation and slavery.

Honestly I'd rather Sublime had taken over instead of VSCode. It's just really good software. Sublime to me is up there with OpenBSD and the Golang standard library in terms of well written, "just works" software.

I see your point. It's very valid. At the same time, it would be nice for multi-billion dollar companies to dish out just a bit more than 10k, you know?

bagder could probably be a Staff level engineer at $BIGCORP, so at the very least, enough to pay him a hefty sum of money per year, plus all the overhead of actually running the project.
