That works sometimes. It can be flaky.

https://github.com/wader/fq is "jq for binary formats."

It's always DNS!

On: Tracking Our CEO at CES

[jonathanberi]

Hi folks I'm the one at CES. If you're here, I'd love to chat about _how_ we built this with https://golioth.io. Or at least give you a sticker of our mascot, Echo!

It's also worth noting CDDL [1], which adds schema-like utility to CBOR (and technically JSON.) We've started to use it in more places where we use CBOR.

I'm not sure I understand - can you expand on that?

On: Using the Hugging Face Inference API for Device Audio Analysis

[jonathanberi]

CEO of Golioth here - we recently launched a whole suite of AI features for embedded device developers (with Hugging Face and more) - check out the launch details at https://blog.golioth.io/golioth-for-ai/

On: We tried to debug a microcontroller from our browser

[jonathanberi]

(CEO here) https://golioth.io is an IoT development platform that provides different cloud services for building connected hardware (security, software updates, etc.) As the creator of hardware, you write the code that runs on the hardware. So you need some way to develop that code. Setting up the compiler, build system, debugger, etc. is always a challenge, even for experienced developers.

Gitpod allowed us to build upon their container-based environment and configure it to work out of the box with all the things a developer needs to build, flash and debug hardware using Zephyr, a popular software stack & operating system for IoT devices.

So our main value is our developer platform - plus our custom-developed Gitpod configuration. We encourage you to check both out at https://golioth.io & https://gitpod.io :)

When your product is publicly available (not clear from your website, given the signup barrier), you should do a Show HN. I'm happy to help you if you send a draft to hn@ycombinator.com—same offer goes for anyone—as long as you don't mind dealing with my terrible worst-case latency.

It's good to follow the tips we give to YC startups launching on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/yli.html. The logistical aspects there don't apply to non-YC startups but the communication aspects apply to everyone.

Thank you dang - we'd love to do a Show HN! We'll also take you up on your kind offer to review our draft :)

P.S. we're currently in beta but anyone who is interested can try Golioth right away @ https://console.golioth.io. We also have Discord server where folks in our community hangout out - https://discord.gg/shmgwqZuqM

Thanks. Sounds similar to Balena (formerly Resin.io) which I've used a lot in the past.

How are you better/different?

Edit: Just saw the dang comment - just view my question as feedback towards your next post.

Additionally we have support for very low spec and low cost microcontrollers. These are the type of device that provide ability to sustainably scale an IoT deployment out into the millions and beyond.

Noted, thanks!
