In austrian german dialect, “Mit da Ua, draht ma zua.” which in standard german would be “Mit der Uhr, dreht man zu.” and in english “With the clock, turn it closed.” or something like that.

BUT IT’S A SINGLE BINARY! UNACCEPTBLE!!! THE BLOAT OF IT ALL!

it was a joke xD i like busybox (and systemd) i don’t particularly subscribe to the unix way, but to each their own ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“Noooooooo! One tool should do one thing and one thing only! Blasphemy! Heresy! Anthema! Systemd!” crying in unix design philosophy

you mean mgms. μgms would be 1/1000000 gms

laughs/cries in embedded we are currently changing from mbed to zephyr rtos. at the beginning it was decided we will never replace mbed, the thing i am currently replacing, so all the code is using parts of mbed everywhere. there’s not enough space on the chip to have both mbed and zephyr in parallel. yay. you desktop/server/web/whatever people don’t how good you have it.

have a look at nix

What are you talking about? I’ve had 3 Kobos (because I broke 2; Aura, Aura HD, now a Forma) and my current one keeps charge for 3-4 months with daily use, and it’s the worst of the three. That’s 3-4 charges a year. How much longer would you want the battery to last?

Well it made sense! In the 70s, and just doesn’t anymore. 🤷

I don’t have first hand experience with it, I also don’t get how it would help me. Maybe I need to look at it some more.

As an embedded firmware guy for 10ish years:

C can die in a fire. It’s “simplicity” hides the emergent complexity by using it as it has nearly no compile time checks for anything and nearly no potential for sensible abstraction. It’s like walking on an infinite tight rope in fog while an earth quake is happening.

For completely different reasons: The same is true for C++ but to a far lesser extent.

do i smell milk on the way to spoiling? hmm granted, i might be wrong but i really don’t think i am.

I’m this close to buying a k8 ;) need to sleep over it thanks :)

they seem to be great. i’ll be looking at those some more ;) thanks

yeah keychron seems to be the way to go. the k2 and k8 are great contenders. thanks

edit: add thanks

Thanks. I’m currently looking at keychron keyboards. the k8 might also be interesting. it doesn’t have to be super small, just without the numpad is fine.

edit: add also

thanks but no. I definitely won’t learn a new keyboard layout.
