It doesn't seam open source?

> The LTE/NR eNodeB/gNodeB software is commercialized by Amarisoft.

> A UE simulator is now available. It simulates hundreds of terminals sharing the same antenna. It uses the same hardware configuration as the LTE eNodeB.

> An embebbed NB-IoT modem based on Amarisoft UE software.

What would be great is a language that does to C what TypeScript did to JavaScript.

C but with better safety and additional developer ergonomics would be amazing.

Part of the problem is I think you would need to depart from the traditional C build system to get the most benefits. That will be hard for adoption.

9p involves a lot of round trips to create/write files. I benchmarked sshfs using fuse vs. 9p in the kernel and sshfs was significantly faster.

Awesome. Nice and easy to get working as well.

Because JScript was introduced back in Windows 98 and the modern APIs were introduced 10 years later (in the case of Node.js).

I’ve done Coremark scores across a range of different systems including NUCs and Pi’s. A Pi 4 gets a single thread score of about 10k and a new entry level NUC gets about 20k. If you look at older systems a Beelink T4 Pro Mini (using a much older CPU) gets about 11k well within the same ballpark as a Pi4. Comparing that to a similar aged Pi a Pi3B gets about 4k score. For comparison a high end AMD Ryzen gets about 45K.

It works on desktop Chrome if you emulate a iPhone display and user agent.

They're just detecting "add to Home Screen" by looking for window.navigator.standalone which you can manually set using a breakpoint.

I completely agree. I've played with VB6 a few times recently and it feels so fast and natural to make a UI compared to modern frameworks.

A bit part of it feels like a dedication to highly polished developer tooling. A strong GUI editor that works with (mostly) zero configuration is a big feature of VB6 to me.

It's pretty common. Apple Silicon devices (at least) have a BootROM feature to pull a signed boot image over USB which can be used to provision the device from a blank flash.

I experimented with this a while ago but didn’t get very far.

The rendering was done into a pixel buffer with inputs being passed though a few relatively simple C++ classes.

I think that a small embedded version would make for a great UI framework with minimal dependencies.

Depends how your starting the VM. I’ve run Docker on Firecracker with a Raspberry PI 4 before but it needed some fixes.

One possibly is if your running directly from a Initramfs without a block device then docker needs DOCKER_RAMDISK set as a environment variable.

Otherwise it’s possible the minimal kernel your Firecracker config uses doesn’t support it out of the box. You can use a regular kernel but you need to make sure modules can be loaded from somewhere.

The question is if the routing table implementation in Windows (I assume inside the kernel) can handle it.
