Oh hi. Shit got real bad with insurance in December but I was able to get things sorted out before it got super bad. But Cigna needs to die in a fire.

You can use it and pretend that you did.

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.

The winners

You’re the one who decided to start splitting hairs. Flounce on away.

Turning on an LED when it’s dark doesn’t require a microcontroller, let alone a Cortex-M. You can accomplish that with analog electronics.

Anyway, you’re moving the goalposts all over the place. What happened to the RTOS kernel from earlier?

Yes, and this is ignoring interrupts, access privileges, thread stacks … what’s the C equivalent of the MSR and MRS instructions?

My point is that there’s still gonna be some somewhere. You’re just trying to handwave it away because somebody else wrote it.

You’re just describing more components that are written in C and assembly.

True, but you’re not gonna be setting the access levels or doing anything else with control registers on a Correx-M in pure C, let alone boot to a safe state with zeroed registers.

Me, too, which is why I don’t say silly things like that

Hell, assembly code is still necessary for the lowest-level init code. Once you have a functional stack and some var init logic you can graduate to C.

Right, those wouldn’t be holes.

Watch out, we got a badass over here

That’s part of why I try not to talk to average English speakers

Sure you can, they just gotta come out the other side. Otherwise it’s just a fancy divot

That’s why we have a diverse set of words such as “divot,” “indentation,” “pit,” “well,” and so much more!

Topology is a component of the language called “mathematics” we use to understand, describe, and model reality in concrete terms.
