KDAB ☛ The Embedded Developer’s Dilemma in Choosing Hardware
When designing an embedded product, there’s a lot riding on those crucial first decisions of choosing a hardware vendor and board. Clearly, the hardware you select must be powerful enough to support your product, a challenging determination given that software is usually still in the planning stages at this point in the process.

However, overspending on beefed up capacity that you will never use costs money, impacting the company’s bottom line.

Rlang ☛ simulating signed mixtures
While simulating from a mixture of standard densities is relatively straightforward, when the component densities are easily simulated, to the point that many simulation methods exploit an intermediary mixture construction to speed up the production of pseudo-random samples from more challenging distributions (see Devroye, 1986), things get surprisingly more complicated [..]

Mozilla ☛ Hacks.Mozilla.Org: Announcing Interop 2024
The Interop Project has become one of the key ways that browser vendors come together to improve the web platform. By working to identify and improve key areas where differences between browser engines are impacting users and web developers, Interop is a critical tool in ensuring the long-term health of the open web.
The web platform is built on interoperability based on common standards. This offers users a degree of choice and control that sets the web apart from proprietary platforms defined by a single implementation. A commitment to ensuring that the web remains open and interoperable forms a fundamental part of Mozilla’s manifesto and web vision, and is why we’re so committed to shipping Firefox with our own Gecko engine.
