Ever wondered if you can run Windows CE on a Raspberry Pi 5? Probably no 😅. But it was fun and I learned a lot of things trying it. In my last video, I show Windows CE 7 running on Raspberry Pi 5, even blinking LEDs 🤯. Check it out: youtu.be/do2CChP5tK8

Finally I had the opportunity to have Windows on arm in my hands. Sneak peak of the first build to Torizon OS Development Env for WSL 2 arm64 🤩. arm all the things, on your development board, on your product and on your development PC.

I have to be fair. After some days using a Mac Mini M4 I have to say I'm impressed. Everything runs smoother than on my Windows 12th generation Asus i7. And the system is beautiful 😍. I'm still having hard time with shortcuts, but with Karabiner I can remap some I was used to from Windows.

Now I'm a Python developer and I have a Mac. ohh f*%$, I've become what I feared the most 😱

I failed to show my coworkers the best of the .NET. And I was influenced to follow with Python. It's bigger, more popular, and new (not new, but young people love it). I would have more acceptance and increased chances of contributions.

Bye .NET, it was a good ride 🥲

The first of the year! Last Sunday the Linux Kernel v6.13 was released, and as usual here is my build for WSL 2.

The EU should demand that American Big Tech sell their assets to European companies. They can’t be trusted to not manipulate the data for propaganda reasons.

Not doing so is a national security risk.

Am I doing this right?

If you are looking for a permissive json library for python, you can try json5.
>>> import json5
>>> json5.loads("{ arch: 'arm64', torizon_arch: 'aarch64' }")
{'arch': 'arm64', 'torizon_arch': 'aarch64'}

but remember you are not doing json!

I am migrating my shell to Xonsh, now I have the Copilot working. The worst was having to do it in Python ...

It appears that the following string is not valid JSON for Python 🤦

"{ arch: 'arm64', torizon_arch: 'aarch64' }"

json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes

Tried now the "Nvidia Gerforce Now". Is PRETTY BAD! Does not have 4K support, the latency is horrible and keeps disconnecting all the time. Fortunately, I only signed up for the day pass.

Note: I'm using Python nowadays, but I'm being forced into it. Not that I like it.

Cool, very cool. JSON is built-in in Python but YAML is not.
And the Python people continue to use YAML in everything that would be better off as JSON. 😏

oh boy, thanks for reminding me that I'm this old. I started developing for Android when we only had the plugin for Eclipse.
Today marks the ten year anniversary for Android Studio! 🎉

We released version 1.0 on the morning of December 8th 2014:

Nice, so you can't do something like this on Python:

i = 0
i++

Nice, so you can't do something like this on Python:

print(f"{namespace}/{result["name"]}")

Where are the Embedded Linux developers from #bluesky?

Someone might say I'm crazy. I say I'm fixing Python. On this demo PyBraces + custom PyLint + PyLint extension for strict MyPy integration for VS Code 😎
