Does it emulate RS232 ports and printer ports as well ? I did'nt find anything. Then it would be possible to reuse old embedded equipment.

I don't know about executable signing, but in the embedded world SecureBoot is also used to serve the PRODUCER; id est provide guarantees to the PRODUCER that the firmware of the device they SELL has not been tampered with at some point in the PROFIT chain.

>If your product has a software-related failure, customers won't care about all of your certifications. Only the end product.

If you're in a market where a ASIL certification is needed, the customers ONLY care about this certifications. I keeps them out of jail.

No, the exact reverse: Hide away the brain-damaging GIT database system behind a proxy, so that I can (again!) concentrate on my job as developer. Instead I have to spend at least one day every week as "version managment administrator" just to keep GIT from falling apart because of weird internal errors. I will never understand why a plain user must deal with internal data structures (like db-indieces) of some tool on a day to day basis.

I want the reverse: svn-git. That would be a real relief to so many developers.

Many people, Especially sice C++ has become a playfield for CS language theorists, who invent more and more overcomplicated language "features" with little to no practical use.

Every few sentences there there is a remark like "This circuit might have edge cases,... "...perfect for the majority of use cases,..". In other words: It will, at best, work on the developers table, but nowhere else. Why is somebody publishing examples that won't work in the real world ?

C++ Metaprogramming is also just a bunch sugarcoated preprocessor macros and it was never someting else.

Ohh man. The usual crap: Desingers adding unneeded whitepace to show of their super skillz. These GUI designer bros should really limit their work to their own tools and leave the productive part of the world alone.

OK, so what exactly are the John Deere programs they think are a GPL violation ? There's no info about that in the article.
