Replace OpenSBI on Spacemit K1

Steps to replace OpenSBI on Spacemit K1

The Spacemit Version of OpenSBI is outdated and disabled printf and consumes the wrong dts with wrong isa string, causing some debugging features that needs printf does not work, and zicboz can not be activated.

This file will tell you how to replace OpenSBI to mainline (v1.4+) on Spacemit K1, and it also compatible with factory sdk kernel.

Prerequisites

You have flashed Bianbu or Armbian for BPI-F3 and flashed to SD Card.

Safari's date-picker is the cause of 1/3 of our customer support issues

Safari's date-picker is the cause of 1/3 of our customer support issues

...and obviously we're building a workaround. But I'm absolutely flabbergasted that a standard <input type="date"> HTML field, in a standard browser, from a company that bases its reputation good design, could be so dreadful.

The context

I'm the developer for a startup that sells a genetic test to recommend medications for high blood pressure. For medical reasons we need to know our customers' birth date. Most of our customers are in their 60s or older. We've found that many of them use iPads or iPhones. And they're the ones who complain to our customer support that our site is unusable.

The problem

How to automatically upload the daily NYT crossword to a Ratta Supernote via Dropbox

Automatically upload the daily crossword to Supernote

The Problem

Note: For anyone landing on this page from Google looking to automatically upload the NYT crossword to your Supernote or similar e-ink tablet, I'm afraid this solution requires some knowledge of programming.

Update 1/12/22: This can be easily adapted to work for the Wall Street Journal crossword as well. Unlike the NYT crossword, the WSJ crossword does not require a paid membership. Scroll down to the bottom of this page for more info.

Because cross-compiling binaries for Windows is easier than building natively

Because cross-compiling binaries for Windows is easier than building natively

I want Microsoft to do better, want Windows to be a decent development platform-and yet, I constantly see Microsoft playing the open source game: advertising how open-source and developer friendly they are - only to crush developers under the heel of the corporate behemoth's boot.

The people who work at Microsoft are amazing, kind, talented individuals. This is aimed at the company's leadership, who I feel has on many occassions crushed myself and other developers under. It's a plea for help.

The source of truth for the 'open source' C#, C++, Rust, and other Windows SDKs is proprietary

You probably haven't heard of it before, but if you've ever used win32 API bindings in C#, C++, Rust, or other languages, odds are they were generated from a repository called microsoft/win32metadata.

"What happened after 2010?"

This was a response to a Hacker News comment asking me what I've been up to since 2010. I'm posting it here since HN rejects it with "that comment is too long." I suppose that's fair, since this ended up being something of an autobiography.

Linux Desktop on Apple Silicon in Practice

Linux Desktop on Apple Silicon in Practice

I bought M1 MacBook Air. It is the fastest computer I have, and I have been a GNOME/GNU/Linux user for long time. It is obvious conclusion that I need practical Linux desktop environment on Apple Silicon.

Fortunately, Linux already works on Apple Silicon/M1. But how practical is it?

  • Two native ports exist.
