A parent feeling their child is growing up too fast and not ready to let go. A teenager asserting independence and ready to boom. Someday they’ll look eye to eye and laugh about this day.

A general #softwareengineering question, when using the word #embedded how do you distinguish between embedded as in #firmware vs #embedded as in in process like a programming language like #lua that is used in a game engine or a database like #sqllite or #duckdb that (can potentially) run in the host application. As in do you use different terms like #embeddedsystems or #EmbeddedSoftware to refer to one or the other? Or am I completely off base here?

Looking for recommendations for a basic #screenrecorder for #Ubuntu desktop. For now I just need the screen and the sound playing in the browser captured. I don’t need my face to show in a little circle, though that feature is appreciated.

@yazad3 @deviantollam It was called “Falling Off the Edge, and How to Help” — and I imagine it will be posted at some point, but I couldn’t tell you when, as the tired organizers need to rest now that the conference is over 🙂
