Nothing. The Raspberry Pi Foundation is rather outspoken on abandoning the firmware and replacing it with regular in-kernel Linux drivers on newer hardware and has made progress on that front. Furthermore, the userpace of the firmware is all secret Broadcom code, Microsoft has only open-sourced the kernel of the Pi firmware. Older models will probably need the firmware forever.
Thank you for sharing this article. I suppose “Fear City” was very much the backdrop of the Joker (2019) movie ?
Fantastic news !
At least in Germany, applied dentistry was seen as of even lower rank than surgery, something that did not have to do with professional medicine at all (the vocation of the university-educated medicus). Dentistry was a crude affair practiced by barber-dentists or other non-surgeons, sometimes in public bathhouses (places often associacted with prostitution and their bathmasters ignoble company, legally barred from forming or entering guilds), sometimes in broad public on the marketplace. Dentists were traveling people and quacks, those who break teeth (Zahnbrecher), often failing at proper extraction in the first place. All those prejudices took a long time, real progress in the field (anesthesia, pedal-powered mechanical drills and other tools, hygenic measures) and lots of organized lobbying to dispel. I’m sure the reputation of dentistry in other European countries must have been similiar. Some of that prejudice might have carried over to the new world, too ?

I second Python. Probably the easiest full-fledged general-purpose programming language to learn. Plenty of reddit bots used to be written in Python. The “praw” module used to make it very easy. I’m sure pythorhead has similiar ambitions. In regard to the question: I have heard good things about “Automate the Boring Stuff with Python” (no, i am not affliated with either author or publisher) : Link
