  • I’m not really going to address the speaker directly since after reading NSF forums for a few years, I’m convinced aerospace engineers can devolve any innocent or academic discussion into 4chan levels at rates exceeding the speed of light. Of note: the speaker doesn’t speak to anything specific that is being worked on to address issues, and only addresses “linux” as a whole, which is about as useful as addressing SVR4 as a whole.

    I will address the blog writer as not being particularly diligent in filling that gap, though. Here’s a few links of what’s going on in that realm since there’s people here of all walks and ages:

    Wind River RTLinux

    Zephyr Project

    OSADL SIL2LinuxMP

    Xenomai





  • Often, it boils down to one common problem: Too much client-side JavaScript. This is not a cost-free error. One retailer realized they were losing $700,000 a year per kilobyte of JavaScript, Russell said.

    “You may be losing all of the users who don’t have those devices because the experience is so bad,” he said.

    They just didn’t link to the one retailer’s context. But it’s “bring back old reddit” energy directed at everything SPA-ish.

    edit to give it a little personal context: I was stuck on geosat internet for a little while and could not use amazon’s site across the connection. I’m not sure if they’re the retailer mentioned. But the only way I could make it usable was to apply the ublock rule *.images-amazon.com/*.js^ described here.

    What really stunk about it was that if you’re somewhere where geosat is/was the only option, then you’re highly dependent on online retail. And knowing how to manage ublock rules is not exactly widespread knowledge.
