This reminds me of the first 25 seconds of this clip from The Matrix: https://youtu.be/Smwrw4sNCxE

Here are some resources I've found helpful and have read or are on my backlog to catch up with these developments:

- https://github.com/wesleyegberto/java-new-features (terse, includes links to JEPs, good jumping off point)

- https://github.com/winterbe/java8-tutorial (quick tour through features of Java 8)

- https://winterbe.com/posts/2018/09/24/java-11-tutorial/ (same for Java 11)

Books:

- Java 8 in Action / Modern Java in Action (Raoul-Gabriel Urma, Alan Mycroft, Mario Fusco; 2014 and 2018 respectively)

- The Well-Grounded Java Developer (Martijn Verburg, Benjamin Evans, Jason Clark; 2022) - not specifically focused on new features but does cover them in the context of going deeper into Java and the JVM.

One of the impacted players had an in-game character named Wi.

Of note is that this is a chapter of the book 'Data Visualization: A practical introduction', by Kieran Healy: https://socviz.co/index.html

I believe the difference is the core module included, where (CM4 = Compute Module 4):

RPI-CM4 Lite: Raspberry Pi CM4 104000 lite (ARM Cortex-A72 quad-core, 4GB LPDDR4, WIFI 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz IEEE 802.11 b/g/n/ac wireless + Bluetooth 5.0, BLE)

A-06: A-06 Core module (ARM64-bit Dual-core Cortex-A72 + Quad-core Cortex-A53, Mali-T864, 4GB LPDDR4)

A-04: A-04 Core module (ARM64-bit Quad-core Cortex-A53, Mali-T720, 2GB DDR3)

R-01: R-01 Core module (RISC-V 64bit Single-core RV64IMAFDCVU @ 1.0GHz, No GPU, 1GB DDR3)

The actual SoCs used on each type of core module are somewhat well hidden (no mention on the main website as far as I can see) but can be found through a bit of research:

RPI-CM4 Lite: Broadcom BCM2711

A-06: Rockchip RK3399

A-04: Allwinner H6

R-01: Allwinner D1

Thanks. I wonder why they would hide it?

You can swap out the core modules as well, at least on their previous products.

Some of them require an adapter that you have to purchase separately.

Does this mean that only the CM4 version has wifi? What about the LTE support they mention on the front page?

Carrier board has some sort of ESP32-esque WiSoC, plus LTE daughter board is listed alongside the products. I can't find which exact SoC is being used though...

I agree. A great start would even be to do something like what iSH does, where you have buttons for tab, control, escape, and a similar joystick for the arrow keys. As of now, I can't issue a tab in the shell, for example.

I had a couple really long running matches on XBConnect. One in particular I remember was team shotguns on Lockout (Halo 2); the points-to-win was something absurd like 10,000 and it was lasted all day. People would come and go as the day went on. I took a nap, went outside, came back, picked up the controller, and got right back into it. Really not something, as far as I'm aware, you can do now on, e.g., Halo MCC over Xbox Live. Good times!

Interesting. I saw the same one, also multiple times.

Two come to mind that I really enjoyed.

"Type-Driven API Design in Rust" by Will Crichton (Strange Loop) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnnacleqg6k

"Opportunities and Pitfalls of Event-driven Utopia" (QCon) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjYAZ0DPLNM

My car lets me configure it to work that way. It's one of my favorite features. I haven't heard it honk on lock in years.

Most cars have this if you look in the user manual. Even old cars with no graphical radio have konami-code-like sequences of button presses you can input to turn them off.

Maybe no surprise to learn that, for a person who thinks it acceptable for the horn to sound for no real reason, this would be considered far too much effort?
