At my company, we have not seen any performance benefits from LTO on a GCC cross-compiled Qt application.

GCC version: 11.3 target: Cortex-A9 Qt version: 5.15

I think we tested single core and quad core, also possibly a newer GCC version, but I'm not sure. Just wanted to add my two cents.

it's right there in the first section:

   highlighting notable advancements in ARM-based Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) and their increasing competitiveness against traditional x86 platforms.

Recently there was an exhibition of tree root illustrations by Jitka Klimesova in Prague. I think there's potential for more art emerging from science.

My takeaway from the article is that Itanium could have been the equivalent of Apple's switch to M1 if Intel doubled down instead of panicking.

Yocto doesn't run GUI applications, it's a framework to make your own distro. The fact that many users are too lazy to create a user to run their application as, speaks of the embedded space in general rather than Yocto in particular.

> I'd suggest just looking at another distribution

You won't find one. With many vendors, it's the only option.

This topic is beaten to death in Philosophy of Software Design - I really, really do recommend it.

> This map describes kernel security hardening. It doesn't cover cutting attack surface.

For those wondering why SECCOMP is ommited.

The age of last commit on trunk is a useless metric in isolation. The fact that it is the most prominent number on the front page of a repository is a shame.

Sounds like CTU FEE in Prague. I learned a bunch about registers, branch prediction and cache, but most of the assembly went out of my head once the class was over.

Agreed. That being said, the CVSS calculator is useful for reminding you of factors that you may not have included in your analysis.

NextBigThing™ will eat into the attention market share of LLMs. It will be a breakthrough in one of these fields:

a) Quantum Computing b) Energy (storage/generation) c) BioTech

We will see an exciting application of Real Time Linux.

Cease-fire in UA. First negotiations about drawing new borders between UA and RU.

I use mblaze, I find it especially useful for large mailing lists like the linux kernel.

> But once you have a design set in stone, outsourcing is cheaper than doing it in-house. These companies specialize in producing parts with economies of scale.

Except you need to ship the parts to your factory and still employ QA people who must check whether you got what you paid for.. If the supplier has a bad defect ratio, you must order more parts. It's not as cut-and-dry as you think.

Every time your assembly-line halts, you're paying people for twiddling their thumbs. The more external suppliers you have, the higher the risk.

> Changing taxes (in either direction) really wouldn't move the needle at all.

Henry George begs to differ. He would say that you start with The One Tax and the resulting pressure on zoning will be unbearable. Good reading: "Land is a Big Deal" by Lars Doucet.
