There you go!

I really like Tcl for scripting. It integrates better and any other language I know with the shell and making a simple quick gui that runs some cli script or command based on some (also gui) inputs is fantastic! (using Tk) I wrote a little

I wrote a useless CHIP-8 emulator and it’s the most fun I’ve had in year with computers! Not just that, but even though I didn’t know it (since I was having fun…) I was also learning! The concepts, principles and techniques that I learned f

oh, I love the idea of making a build.c! Specially because I came across a compiler (sdcc) that doesn't support multiple source files (everything should be compiled individually and then linked with main.c

Oh, about editor, I use sublime, but the difference maker is clangd. It’s the most powerful and easy to use code intelligence I’ve found for C. Use a tool like bear or make a compile_commands.txt for it and you’ll be getting an IDE level co

I think one of the interesting things about C is that if you ask 100 C devs the “right way” you’ll have 100 ways! :-) C allows you tons of freedom to make programs your own. As you also use libraries you’ll see various approaches and conven

This looks fantastic! USB can seem intimidating at the beginning but one start getting the vocabulary and concepts it can actually be understood. I fully recommend the book USB Complete. It might not look like a approachable book but it is

YES!! I love seeing the success of kagi! I’m an early adopter and the search results quality plus the hidden gems plus the ability to customize them is just fantastic! A example of customization that I’ve been experimenting is lowering a bi

Step 5: go to your local library, pick up a book and consume high quality content instead of filtering through tons of garbage for a few gems.

Saving your contact info :-) I’m not there yet but I’m working on transitioning from software to hardware… so I want to get there eventually!

I think outsourcing the “dangerous parts” i.e. buying a power supply instead of building one. Apart from that, most applications stay in the 5V range and few mA. If you are using something that requires more current then just over engineer.

Maybe a bit optimistic but I don’t think it’d be to hard. Most devices already use pretty standard components, a microwave for example would have “something” to switch the thing on and off. It might be a solid state relay or something like

I’ve recently started taking some online courses (Coursera) and the ability to see how far along have I gone, in both percent and time, together with how much I have left is tremendously encouraging! Reading this article makes me think that

It might not be necessarily free. From the story I got the V was looking to “switch jobs”. From personal experience, I once had to work with an open source library at work. I got very familiar with the inner workings to the point that it wo

no surprises there, but it still makes me a little sad...

Good to know. I use fish as my daily driver because it makes my life easier with all the niceties it has out of the box. A rewrite to Rust is certainly risky but parallel processing and performance improvements does sound like an amazing go

I’ve been learning recently about flash memory and NAND in particular, and I was surprised to learn that SD Cards contain software, that different memory types (SLC vs MLC vs others) have very different life span and all these variables is

Yes! A family member actually had an accident because they had “right of way” and thus just drove onwards. I no longer trusts road signs and will still look in an intersection even if, for example, there is no stop sign but I can’t see that

Funny to get downvoted for a tongue-in-cheek self-deprecating joke about your own sentence!
