Are there companies still producing modern keyboards with APL in mind? I like the idea but can't see how it would be practical with a normal keyboard.

If rewriting in a safe language is the main driver why not rewrite everything in Ada instead of Rust?

For software engineers wanting to get into hardware design, the most important thing to remember is that it isn't software, despite feeling a bit like writing software. Writing instructions and describing hardware are very different, r

In most cases I'd agree but an excellent example of how it can work is in Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets By Peter van der Linden. It manages to be both technically dense and hilarious, the tongue in cheek style does well to cont

The only problem with this watch is the godawful screen light. The next model up is a negligible bump up in price and although almost completely identical otherwise, the entire face lights up bright green. It might not be good enough for th

The air crash investigation episode for this incident is insane. The entire episode doesn't hint at whether the guy survived and then right at the end there's suddenly an interview room and the bloke walks in. Having not heard abo

One thing to follow in terms of nuclear power in the UK is the work being done in small modular reactors (SMR). These are much smaller PWR reactors that are intended to be considerably cheaper and faster to build than the massive reactors a

My only issue with the website is the little minimize "-" sign on comments is too small and difficult to reliably hit without zooming in. However as you say everything else works much more smoothly than any of the apps I've t

Modelsim I would hate to rewrite it but I wish someone would. It has the worst and buggiest UI of anything I've ever used. Everything looks incredibly dated, and while the backend (the useful bit) does what it's supposed to (thoug

Revision history is essential for traceability in safety critical work. The entire history with name and timestamps can show both who introduced a problem, but also gives context for how a more subtle architectural issue got baked in slowly

Pmod on the evaluation board is a nice touch. Any idea of a unit price of said board? Also I can't seem to find any information on the tooling, does it have it's own place and route solution and does it slot in with any existing t

Wanting to suddenly start using rust would mean putting any and all tools through a tool qualification process, which is incredibly time consuming and vastly expensive. In the field of safety critical software, fancy new languages are total
