For now, there's a polyfill: https://github.com/js-temporal/temporal-polyfill

There's a polyfill, I wonder if that works in Safari:

I live in Australia and we have d-m-Y, and even I would say just use ISO 8601. Just use the standard, please, pretty please with a cherry on top.

It's not simple, it has hidden pitfalls and footguns. Using it is the fastest way to blood on the floor (to quote a senior developer I worked with).

Bit of a tangent, but I really wish JavaScript was versioned. Allowing MDN to clean up the syntax and APIs would be incredible.

It does not. I'm Australian and our timezones are ahead of the US (NSW time is about 15-17 hours ahead of US Eastern time). If I took a flight from Sydney to New York (22~ hours) on my birthday, the US custom's officer would wish me happy birthday when I landed the next day.

Therefore, birthdays are not bound by timezone at all.

it's a cool thing to wish happy birthday on the hour they were born (if you know it) but I can't say the same about preparing for deadline.

I don't get a happy birthday from customs though, cool!

Might be good for researchers to be able to perform studies on.

I have no problem with this being downloaded for personal use, in fact that's a good thing. But of course we both know it'll be used to train AI.

I down-voted because I can't imagine AI video ever being moral, not good. It's copyright theft.

I don't think a regular Raspberry Pi counts as embedded, although from Embassy's documentation, there is a version of embassy for the Rapberry Pi Microcontroller.

I think you’re aware of this already but for everyone else:

There’s different kinds of embedded. What traditionally was referred to as embedded is microcontrollers (e.g., 32-bit ARM Cortex M devices like the STM32 or an NXP IMX106x chip ). A configuration for a Cortex-M7 chip (that some may consider on the high end of traditional embedded) is a 600MHz clock, 1MB of RAM, and 4MB of flash memory. These run either bare metal or a real time operating system but don’t have an MMU.

These days the definition is sometimes expanded to include devices that run full fledged OSes like Linux (embedded Linux) on devices like the RPI with much more memory than an MCU.

To answer the original posters question a bit: get used to C and C++ and not using malloc() / new(), which includes a lot of the standard library.

I don’t think that is exactly accurate. But you know, like close enough, describes all my work. Just pointing out that something like an industrial system running win ce on PowerPC or x86 has been within the definition of embedded for a long time. Embedded Java was/is a thing. Both extremely non-central examples, but what’s new is how cheap the hardware is, embedded has always included more sophisticated OS’ and more than micros.

I'm still a noob but it seems like there's also a distinction between bare metal embedded and RTOS, which is higher level. I think STMs are more commonly run bare metal but esp32s use a version of FreeRTOS.

Also libc is bloat :P

That’s right, the keyword for embedded development would be “microcontroller”. A normal Pi is an SoC which is more akin to a traditional desktop - embassy would not be the easiest tool to use for that.
