BER or DER ?

What absolute rubbish from Baz and his former employer pumping up his tyres

Yeah sure but Virtual Boy !! 😂

It’s kinda crazy something so simple is sooo difficult to do, that a normal user has no chance of making this change

I love rust and C not a huge C++ fan, but you will likely always find work doing C++

Good news imo, the Greens need new leadership

David Speers isn’t moderating a debate, he is doing 2 interviews at the same time and is just talking over these 2 over and over … it’s frustrating as hell to watch

For the first time in my career i have seen a group move a repo from GIT to SVN 🤦‍♂️
Talk about a backwards step, literally just committed the head to SVN and lost all git history

Keeping things simple—but maintaining high quality—helps reduce risk and that you’re building the right solution.

It reminds me of a line from The Grug Brained Developer: “Complexity is a spirit demon that enters a codebase through well-meaning but ultimately very clubbable non-grug-brain developers … sometimes grug himself!”

The idea of doing the Best Simple System for Now avoids these scenarios by encouraging developers to write good, “clean” code while only doing what is necessary to solve the user’s problem.

Then, when the future arrives, you find yourself having to unpick this elaborate system because it inevitably doesn’t allow for what you need to do.
Conversely, I’ve built an ugly, quick, hacky prototype just to prove a concept, which inevitably morphs into the actual product 😮‍💨

I'm sure we've all worked on an inherited codebase where an engineer, with the best of intentions, has created a complex system to accommodate future changes they believe will be needed.

This is a great read on how to build software quickly and effectively, and I would highly recommend taking the time to go through it.

Ohh that is impressive work

Hey 👋, I’m a C dev, also c++ and Rust based in Western Australia 🇦🇺

Been writing multi platform communication stacks and power systems control devices

I might have to get one of these little screens

100% this, prescribed burns to control fuel loads has been an effective bush fire management tool in WA.

Sadly the window we can do these burns safely appears to be shrinking due to the impacts of climate change

It’s why I really enjoy your work Claire.

Sadly too many people have been audience captured and have undergone the exact phenomenon you described, and ultimately they no longer become interesting thought leaders and simply end up as repetitive panderers to their audience’s ideology

OMG using malloc on something as tiny as a PIC24 😱
That is wild, i hope they had a very good use case for that

Yeah I’m much more a C dev than C++
I find C++ such an ugly language, C is so nice and simple. Rust has a nice elegance to it

Got an LED to blink using Rust on the ESP32-C6
Super basic, but cool to see how relatively straightforward the Rust environment setup is for this.

Now to tackle the RGB LED

#EmbeddedDev #rust #rustlang #EmbeddedRust #esp32

Decided I should get some hands on experience with embedded rust
Gonna have a play with it on the ESP32-C6 dev kit with a GlowBit LED matrix

#rust #embeddedRust #esp32 #rustlang

We sadly see the same kind of thing here in Aus when the wind is blowing fires are almost impossible to contain :(

These right wing American nut jobs trying to ruin it for the entire planet

Match is awesome, the small learning curve is worth it

Congratulations both you ❤️

100% agree, the developer experience is sooo much nicer with Cargo than CMake
Especially as CMake can have a few different ways to do what boils down to the same thing since it’s basically its own language as a build system

I hate when you write a name / word so many times it starts to look weird.

Equal has started to do this to me, now the word looks wrong

Estimates are usually false hope,
I like the small, too f*#king big and No F*#king idea categories for estimates
