Bit disappointed in the 'other galaxy', and the lack of effort to make it feel different. Especially the local raiders being basically tuskans, using the same energy rifles as the main galaxy, more sisters of dathomir just with a different name and they still know of and care about the jedi.

Would really have liked it to feel more distinct from the star wars galaxy, like it had a truely separate history, and not just like another planet.

This episode had a lot of positives though, more insight into Balen's motives and the new storm trooper armour was great.

Delete this before the EA CEO sees it please.

Totally agree. There's no reason to respond to posts where the OP on Reddit will never see it, and the bot posts drown out any genuine user posts.

It works for a small number of cases, but on the whole it's a misguided attempt to fake content instead of growing communities naturally and it needs to go.

Monetization: Providing a way for people to pay for something they want

Exploitation: Making people pay outside their means for something they need, or feel like they need (usually bc of FOMO)

Perhaps the numbers are not plainly available as the previous commenter stated, and they wanted to call out the direct contribution of the 78 unique commit authors, without disregarding many other indirect contributions from commenters, reviewers, testers etc.

ARM is also expanding hugely into the autonomous vehicle space, given the amount of computing required in cars is increasing and low power is very desirable.

RISC-V is an interesting experiment into what an open source ISA looks like, and it is getting funding and interest, but I'd say we're at least 5-10 years from RISC-V meaningfully competing with ARM's market share, which it massively dominates currently. It just isn't a coherent product yet.

Good luck ever doing anything embedded if you always need a clunky IDE. Best thing I ever did was get comfortable in a solely vim/cmake/gcc environment. Even if the majority of work doesn't require it, it'll teach you a lot.

Ah so the prime minister had the pass code to his official government phone just written down somewhere... That's great sounds secure to me, carry on

You're getting downvoted but my partner is from Malaysia and completely agrees with you. This 'protest' has not benefitted the LGBT community in Malaysia in any way, and if anything it has empowered the hard right parties, who wish for harsher treatment and even banning live music. This is happening with an election looming as well.

Everyone want to fight for better treatment for lgbt people, but understating the local context shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.

Generally the performance difference will be minimal, but the benefit to others (and yourself in the future) in keeping the code's functionality clear and readable is much more important, especially in a professional setting.

A lot of programmers do have this 'code golf' mentality that less lines == efficient, but unless its a bottleneck and you've benchmarked it to be significantly faster, code readability should always trump performance.
