I stopped following the producer logic when Intel went from Pentium 4 to Pentium D

MFC is rock solid too

WTL and ATL also, especially if you need to do com stuff

You will need it, because since Windows Vista, most new APIs are COM based, as they redid Longhorn ideas in C++ instead of .NET, and WinRT also builds upon it.

Classical Win32 C API surface, with some exceptions, is mostly stuck in Windows XP view of the world.

does anybody know if it will be available for shipping outside US? Seems a cool book, from the chapter preview

Amazon.de for example already has it(for preorder). Oreilly books online has the first edition available right now. I reckon they might add the second revision when it comes out.

Yes, I've bought book several books from No Starch Press and delivered to APAC.

Have they "squatted" the name? It's the same name for the digital Sovereignty initiative in Germany

https://opencode.de/

If it was a somewhat unique name, then yeah maybe. But "opencode" is probably as generic as you could make it, hard to claim to be "squatting" something so well used already... Earliest project on GitHub named "opencode" seems to date back to 2010, but I'm sure there are even earlier projects too: https://github.com/search?q=opencode&type=repositories&s=upd...

you'll be surprised the name was actually a controversy on x/twitter since opencode was originally another dev's idea who joined the charmcli team. they wanted to keep that name but dax somehow (?) ended up squatting it. the charmcli team has renamed their tool to "crush" which matches their other tools a lot better than "opencode"

oh yea that whole drama turned me off from this project. dax guy seems to be some sort of grumpy cat.

It happened to me and now, after more than 8 years, I find myself still in the situation where I am serving my children's needs and not having time to satisfy my personal ones.

They go to bed when I am also tired. Trying to having an hobby past their bed time means sacrifying sleep time.

Travelling is also a challenge, since they lack interesting in seeing something new, but just want to have fun playing, especially playgrounds.

we didn't do that much traveling with our kids but we move to new places. when traveling you have to consider your kids interest, so museums are probably out. fortunately i don't care much for that either. we travel to visit family and friends and then do interesting things together, which is much more exciting for the kids.

as a freelancer, instead of sacrificing sleep time i reduced my work time.

work and personal time | family time | sleep.

whatever you do, don't sacrifice on sleep time.

Since I can't sacrifice work time as employee, I can only sacrify my personal time, if I don't want to reduce family time.

We do travel only to kids-friendly destinations for the time being

Where can I buy the $18 kit? A link to a shop would be also interesting, as interesting is the project itself

Since the inception of Raspberry Pi at least?

Longer than that. Raspberry Pi isn't that old, it only launched in 2012.

And first arm64 device was released in 2013

Ha, touche! But it worked on ARM long before that :)

At least they signal that the project is open and free. What about projects using "Open" but they aren't? (See: OpenAI)

If anyone makes Linux running on this thing, it's a major gaming changer!

Is your calculation also taking cost of energy and personnel that keeps your own infra running?

Is that personnel cost more than running on someone else's infra? Just counting the amount of people a company now need just to maintain their cloud/kubernetes/whatever setup, paired with "devops" meaning all devs now have to spend time on this stuff, I could almost wager we would spend less on personnel if we just chucked a few laptops in a closet and sshed in.
