What the commenter above was referring to is special API access for Nokia and a few key third-parties that regular devs were not allowed to use.

It was a strange time for Windows phone. Agreed, such a shame, it was an interesting UX-first design for its time.

Kudos for immersing yourself in it!

Not like farmers don’t abuse and exploit the land themselves. It’s just a bit more aesthetic.

Where’s my LN2 backpack it’s time to go portable

Overclocking controls huh

5700 in my server works just fine too, no difficulty setting it up. Running in Docker. Even does HDR tone mapping!

Broadcom is actually terrible, the Rpi foundation just had an in.

NXP deserves some credit for good board support packages and documentation.

Sure, I guess I maintain its that’s not what sarcasm is but we do agree on the point

They’re not being sarcastic, they are repeating Google’s (bs) justification

If only they banned sending mail and reading the newspaper we could have saved those kids.

(you missed the point of my comment)

Having a phone is an important part of participating in society like it or not. Not everyone has a happy home life of a home at all, and flatly banning anyone from owning a phone (purchased themselves) under 16 could further endanger young people already struggling in a dangerous situation. Or even just maintaining a job to survive.

Of course I don’t want to live in a world where under 16s need to work, or need to discretely contact help, but we have to face reality. Let’s fix that stuff rather than ban communication devices…

Not so much well defined as fancy words. There is no example of a paying software development job that has no economic impact if the software were to fail.

If I ran a small shopify page for goat feed, I’d be an engineer for making sure the site stayed working so farmers could order their feed. It could even put lives at risk!

It really only excludes someone privately working on a video game for fun.

So given that, what are they actually regulating? What are they providing to their members to help them become better “software engineers”. I say it’s nothing at all? +

You missed my point that if professional engineering societies in Canada want to take ownership of software and electronics, they better do something and not just say they’re regulating it and sit on it with no clear definition for what it even is.

If they were doing their job, we wouldn’t need to debate what a software engineer is. They’ve let us down and they’re getting away with it.

But architects aren’t engineers either! We have engineers in building construction, they are called engineers.

They ensure all required calculations are done, all safety standards are adhered to, they complete detailed designs, and they sign off on a project legally so things like quotes and timelines have legal teeth.

I disagree, I believe the regulatory agencies do nothing in Canada to legitimize their claim to regulating software development. Heck, they do nothing for electronics or semiconductors or anything smaller than the power grid.

For companies/employees that choose to share (eg in hopes of getting recruited to a new job) you can even get individuals information from that site. That includes actual job titles.

These companies tend to be very light on administrative roles anyway. So the ratios make sense even if they just laid off 5% of staff in total.

What on earth do you mean no evidence? I mean just check layoffs.fyi which specifically tracks this.

This is very much the bell curve meme, but those in the know would be aware that the US military had been working on it for a while now.

Steer by wire has been around for about 10 years now, mainly in Nissans.

Q50 was first. But it had a tiny mechanical backup. Toyota will bring a full system in Lexus models this year.

Its wild.

Dude I’ve never been on an A380 this may be my chance
