Are you ready to go back to the future? | Arduino Blog
The first Arduino UNO was launched back in 2005, with a clear purpose to allow everyone who had an idea to make it possible through a simple and open interface.
Many years have passed, technology has evolved, but we never forgot that initial thrill that came from opening up countless possibilities to so many makers.
The Arduino Make Your UNO Kit is the natural extension of a story that will shape the makers of tomorrow, a step in the past to move forward in a brilliant future.

Raspberry Pi Pico has a problem with Macs using MacOS Ventura [Ed: Microsoft mole Liam Tung and propagandist looking to badmouth Microsoft rival somehow (as usual)]
he UK maker of the Raspberry Pi is warning of an issue affecting its Pico device and other boards when using a Mac running the new MacOS Ventura, which has broken key functionality for flashing the $4 Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller board over USB.
In a blogpost titled "The Ventura problem", Raspberry Pi Trading's head of documentation Alasdair Allan explains the glitch affecting the Pi Pico on Ventura and urges Pico users not to upgrade to Ventura, "at least not yet".

9 Docker Extensions Every Developer Must Try - DEV Community 👩💻👨💻
The world of software development is changing faster than ever. The need for faster release cycle times has led to a proliferation of virtualization technologies. Virtual machines (VMs) have been around for many years, but containers have recently overshadowed them. The reason is that VMs are slower and not as lightweight as containers. With the popularity of microservices, containers have emerged as an excellent alternative to virtual machines for developing, testing and deploying applications in a lightweight environment.

The AI Maturity Framework [Ed: IBMers have replaced substance and products with buzzwords]
I recently attended a seminar, The Art of AI Maturity, by Accenture executives Philippe Roussiere and Praveen Tanguturi as part of MIT’s Initiative on the Digital Economy (IDE) lunch seminar series. The seminar was based on their recently published article The Art of AI Maturity: Advancing from Practice to Performance.
“Today, so much of what we take for granted in our daily lives stems from machine learning,” wrote the authors in the article’s executive summary. “Every time you use a wayfinding app to get from point A to point B, use dictation to convert speech to text, or unlock your phone using face ID ... you're relying on AI. And companies across industries are also relying on - and investing in - AI to drive logistics, improve customer service, increase efficiency, empower employees and so much more.”
To determine the true state of AI maturity in the marketplace, Accenture conducted a survey in August and September of 2021 of over 1,600 C-suite executives at nearly 2,000 of the world’s largest companies across 16 industries with headquarters in 15 countries. In addition, they interviewed 25 CEOs, Chief Data Officers and Chief Analytics Officers, as well as a number of Accenture AI experts, and developed over 40 case studies on AI transformation.

fg-daemon-gdb
I’ve recently enhanced my emacsclient(1) wrapper script to make it possible to have my primary Emacs daemon always running under gdb. That way, if there’s a seemingly-random crash, I might be able to learn something about what happened. The tricky thing is that I want gdb running inside an instance of Emacs too, because Emacs has a nice interface to gdb, and gdb’s Emacs daemon – hereafter “gdbmacs” – needs to be the installed, optimised build of Emacs, such that it’s not likely to suffer the same crash. And the whole thing should be transparent: I shouldn’t have to do anything special to launch the primary session under gdb.

Creating an effect with QQEM
Todays blog post gives a bit more information about how to effectively use the Qt Quick Effect Maker (see the QQEM introduction blog post). We will first create an example effect using several Qt Graphical Effects and then re-create this same effect using a single QQEM multi-effect. This will be done with the node editor, so no experience of writing a shader code is required.

Deliver Interactive Experiences with glTF: A Node Graph-Based Approach
The Khronos 3D Formats Working Group is constantly assessing emerging requirements of the glTF ecosystem and asking how the group can make the most impactful progress. Over the past 18 months, one issue has consistently bubbled to the top of these discussions: interactivity.
The urgency of developing new interactivity and behaviors capabilities for glTF has been fueled in part by the evolution towards the open metaverse. It’s clear that glTF can and should have an important role to play in this ecosystem, but we have some important functionality gaps to close first. We’ve spent the past few months cooperatively refining proposals for how we might build interactivity into glTF 3D assets. This blog will outline our current approach and reasoning, as well as invite the community to weigh in.

Announcing Rust 1.65.0
The Rust team is happy to announce a new version of Rust, 1.65.0. Rust is a programming language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
Before going into the details of the new Rust release, we'd like to draw attention to the tragic death of Mahsa Amini and the death and violent suppression of many others, by the religious morality police of Iran.
