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.
