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

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.
