Lua Read Write Serial Port

The Serial library reads and writes data to and from external devices one byte. The serial port is a nine pin I/O port that exists on many PCs and can be.

I wish hackaday would crack down on the comments from the people in their mom’s basement. The linux design philoshiphy borrows from Unix. I don’t know why you think it is poor writing and it isn’t incorrect although it may be a little imprecise. If they had said linux borrows code from Unix that would probably be wrong although I wouldn’t want to bet my last euro on it being wrong. But not just this comment but there are always a few that are like: hackaday invents cold fusion and the comments will be well it technically is room temperature, not cold.

That ruins the whole thing. Hackaday sux. I don’t know if they are 15 year olds or just people with very low self esteem trying to feel better. Either way PLEASE hackaday I know if you delete comments out people squeal about censoring but give us an upvote downvote button and then maybe a default filter for negative scores.

So tired of the stupid comments. The original intent of Linux was to re-implement Minix.

The Minix website talks a lot about Posix today and v2 of Minix is Posix compliant but v2 came out years after Linux and the original Minix which Linux was imitating began a year before the very first Posix specification was even released! Also, Posix itself. What is it based on? So yes, Linux definitely borrows heavily from Unix and it is not a secret, it was intended from the beginning. “remember the SCO lawsuit?” Yup.

“Borrowing heavily from Unix” is a vague statement that does not necessarily imply any copying of code and even if it did the long overdue outcome of that lawsuit when it finally came only reinforced what we already knew. Most of the code that makes up the many branches of the bushy tree known as Unix has entered the public domain for various reasons so everything really is ok. Good programmers do avoid re-inventing wheels you know! It’s sad but I think was forgotten when the current generation of programmers were getting their educations. >”I say sort of because the version installed with Ubuntu was old and I needed some features on the newest release, but — as usual — the Internet came to the rescue. A quick Git command, and four lines of build instructions and we were ready to go.” This is what baffles me about the Linux ecosystem.

Why does anyone tolerate this sort of software distribution failure? You can’t get the software because you’re relying on some Appstore-by-another-name that’s just the same a gilded cage, only it’s managed by an uninterested and unpaid third party that often actively hates the software you want to use because of personal/political reasons. But sure, you can do the software distributor’s work for them, in some cases, if you know how to, or you’re willing to spend hours googling how to do it, so it’s all “fine” in the end. Yes, that would be fine if all the repositories weren’t equally ill-maintained or simpy incompatible with your distro. Getting software from a Ubuntu repository feels exactly like the concept of distributing software through Windows Update. You know that even if Microsoft spent half their budget on packaging and maintaining software for all the developers out there, they still couldn’t do a good job of it, nor can anyone else.

Hence the humble Setup.exe (or any other standard installer on an OS that is binary compatible with itself). You sound like a FreeBSD user that just doesn’t know it yet. Having many of the same thoughts you are writing but also being thoroughly fed up with Microsoft lead me to Gentoo. Gentoo has been great, the least of all Linux distro evils.

It is true that some of the editors PDF of some of the few failures in Acrobat and elegant and effective solution, but finally resolved, none of them was able to compete with the endless list of features and functions. After eleven successful editions, Acrobat Pro is still making the preferred software for editing PDF and tools among professionals. With the increase in the number of competitors to flood the market every year, there is no alternative to success for these instruments, to get closer to the contractor completeness.

It’s not completely without issues though and waiting for EVERYTHING to compile is kind of a pain. (Doing updates in screen with a nice level set helps). I’ve longed for a distro that gives me the flexibility of Gentoo’s portage for the packages I want it on while still having a good selection of binary packages for quick install of those where I don’t need that kind of customization. I briefly tried Arch.

AUR feels a little bit too disconnected from the main packaging system though. I don’t want to manually download the source into a folder somewhere. Also I ran into too many things that were only available in AUR that I would have been happy to have in binary form. It kind of seems like a crappier version of Gentoo but where the system packages come as binaries.

Steinberg nuendo live crack key. I forget the name, I did try a tool that automates the AUR process but it tries to do everything in /tmp which meant it was prone to failure do to running out of space. I’m playing with FreeBSD now. It feels like a binary Linux distribution but if you want to compile something you can do so using ports which automagically build a package that installs keeping everything consistently handled by the package manager. Unlike Arch they seem to take the strategy of keeping EVERYTHING available as both binary AND source so YOU decide which way to go.
