If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I suppose watching any new iteration of Star Trek is enough to put anyone off watching any of the older series. Which are nothing alike (fortunately).

I can't explain it. I love sci-fi, not a fanatic though. Star Trek never appealed to me on any level, even after all these years. Not one iota of interest to watch it.
Which is odd really because I am interested in the deep-space exploration genre.
I love Star Wars - most of it anyhow. The newer stuff makes me vomit, but that is true for most movie/tv franchises these days.

When I showed up at Microsoft one day on Halloween I thought I had stumbled into a Star Trek convention.
I argued that we could increase developer productivity by localizing Visual Studio to Klingon.

One of my close friends used to work for Microsoft (14 years) and he is a major trekky. Must be par for the course at Microsoft.

What I find more disturbing is all the roads showing hundreds of feet into the water.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Quote: Why does Parkland High School looks like Millennium Falcon?
The designer here isn't Gorge Lucas. Instead it's an architect from Minneapolis and yes, he's a Star Wars fan.
However, the design wasn't meant to look like the Millennium Falcon. "I laughed," Dean Beeninga,
the architect who designed the school, said when asked about his reaction to first hearing the comparison.

I did it. I got EspMon ported to ZephyrOS and running on a STM32 board. I hijacked the virtual COM port exposed by ST-Link to make it easier to use, since it's essentially a demo project that demonstrates my IoT ecosystem as well as a utility.
It took me days. It was truly difficult. It fought me every step of the way, often with unforeseen issues.
One was the console subsystem was implement incorrectly. getchar() returned 0, not -1 on no data. I opened an issue.
When I went below the console subsystem I found that the UART isn't a true UART, at least as implemented. It seems to clear the receive buffer if you send, such that I was getting corrupted data all day long because I had a printf debug spew (sending to the COM port rather than receiving) - I haven't opened an issue about it yet because I don't have an easy reproduction yet. I'm pretty sure I know how to, I just need to write the code.
Anyway, I had to mangle my graphics lib a bit to get it to compile given Zephyr's restrictions, but other than that, my major code functioned without a hitch. It was literally the last mile connections to the RTOS that gave me hell every step of the way. All of my core app code just ran, including loading SVGs and TrueType and all that fancy business.
Figuring out how to enable C++ builds was hairy though.
What a mess.
But now I have something to work with. An article is brewing. I feel a little bad because it will be the 3rd article on the same piece of firmware but each time it's an evolution of it so I guess it justifies itself.

We're all developers here, and we all know software development is an iterative process.
Especially when you're going down a path very few have ever taken before (or have bothered to describe the results - or even the experience).
Refine it over and over until it's well understood and predictable, and things can be accurately described. That's pioneering work, if you ask me.
